Velvet Taco is a temple to the liberated taco. Founded on the idea that tacos don’t have to be associated with Tex-Mex cuisine and can be made with the same care and quality ingredients as fine dining, Velvet Taco is where “anything goes meets the art of the possible.” For this 4th of July, try the exclusive, scratch-made WTF taco in collaboration with Dr. Pepper®! The WTF taco features Baby Back Ribs features pork ribs, Dr. Pepper® BBQ sauce, napa slaw, cherry jalapeno salsa, crispy jalapeños, and corn tortilla. Doesn’t that sound good?
