Velvet Taco

Ok, so this is a long review, but it's worth the read. You know how most ppl who quit/get fired start telling you all the nasty stuff about a restaurant and make you never want to eat there again? We'll, this review is the opposite. I briefly worked at the college station location. I can tell you a few things about it, and this is coming from someone who was fired. 1. The management is awesome, and very supportive of their staff. 2. They keep a VERY clean kitchen. Like, EVERYTHING is scrubbed down daily, even the walls around the cooking areas and the vents above the grill and fryers. All food is stored properly, machines cleaned regularly/nightly, and everything is clean as can be. 3. They have a dedicated fryer for their chips, making them safe for guests w celiac. This does not apply to all locations I believe. 4. They take allergy training VERY seriously to ensure the safety of guests. As someone w celiac, I really, really appreciate this. 5. The food is AMAZING. I miss getting my free shift meals, because the tacos are just that good. And they have a great variety. 6. Pretty much everything is made fresh on site. The corn and flour tortillas are not, but everything else is. They roast fresh corn daily for their elote, cook all meats fresh, chop all fruits and veggies fresh daily. Any specialty tortillas such as waffle tortillas are made to order, not sitting around all day getting stale. 7. While it's not always 100% possible to sanitize tables between every guest when it's busy, tables and counters are sanitized a ton! They are constantly having employees clean the tables to make sure the lobby stays up to their high standards. Management is so good that they even felt bad about firing me, even though I wasn't able to keep up w the super fast-paced work environment well due to some medical limitations of mine. The food is definitely worth the price, and you will be treated well when you're a guest there. Lastly, I highly recommend trying the brisket nachos!
