Velvet Taco Opening At The Interlock In Atlanta

Velvet Taco has been a welcome addition to Atlanta’s restaurant scene after establishing itself in Charlotte, North Carolina and Austin, Texas.

“It is a great honor to have Velvet Taco open doors in The Interlock in West Midtown, where the restaurants are known to heavily exceed the industry standard and guests have high expectations,” Velvet Taco CEO Clay Dover says in a news release. “It is our mission to take the humble, well-loved taco and use the tortilla as a blank canvas for any courageous, adventuring foodie’s desires.”

Diners can expect hand-crafted tortillas, slow-cooked meat and hand-made sauces that are as creative as they are tasty.

“As someone who lives in the city, I have watched the West Midtown neighborhood grow into a high intensity, exhilarating place full of all types of people looking for a new experience,” said Velvet Taco at The Interlock General Manager Tanesha Blake, an Atlanta resident. “Including Velvet Taco in West Midtown’s notable restaurant lineup is like adding a missing puzzle piece.”

Velvet Taco is one of many fast-casual eateries that have opened in metro Atlanta over the past few years.

The craze hasn’t escaped metro Atlanta’s  food and drink scene, which has seen a bar explosion in recent years.
