About Velvet Taco
Velvet Taco is a culinary-driven powerhouse that has successfully disrupted the fast-casual sector by treating the taco as a canvas for international flavors. Functioning as a high-productivity Anchor Tenant for Class A lifestyle centers, urban high streets, and entertainment districts, the brand is currently executing a bold "Always Forward" strategic expansion with a goal of reaching 100 units by 2026. Backed by Leonard Green & Partners and L Catterton, Velvet Taco drives exceptional foot traffic through its "Weekly Taco Feature" (WTF) and late-night operations, attracting an affluent, adventurous demographic of Gen Z and Millennial consumers. The brand is known for its "Backdoor Chicken" tradition and sophisticated bar program, which enables it to serve as a high-vibe social hub in premier mixed-use environments. Following its successful 2025 global debut in London’s Broadgate Circle, Velvet Taco offers landlords a high-credit, recession-resilient partner with a proven ability to revitalize traditional retail footprints and synergize with premium fashion and fitness co-tenants.
