Velvet Taco Brings Globally Inspired Tacos to Wynwood on September 23



Miami’s cultural hotspot, Wynwood, is about to get a tasty new addition! On Monday, September 23, Velvet Taco, the nationally acclaimed taco brand, is opening its doors and inviting locals to experience their bold and globally inspired tacos. This highly anticipated event marks the brand’s first Miami location and second in Florida, following their successful

debut in Fort Lauderdale in 2023.



Starting at 11 a.m., the grand opening promises to be an exciting affair. The first 100 guests will snag an exclusive Velvet Taco hat, setting the tone for a day of scratch-made tacos, boozy libations, and a whole lot of fun. Fans of secret menu items will want to check out the Backdoor Chicken, a must-try for those in the know.


If you’re feeling lucky, be sure to enter the sweepstakes for a chance to win free tacos for an entire year! The first 500 entrants will also receive a Free Taco reward.


"We’re thrilled to bring our scratch-made tacos to Wynwood, a community that aligns with our brand values of innovation, fun, and culturally diverse cuisine,” said Mark Mohammed, General Manager of Velvet Taco Wynwood. “We can’t wait to join this artistic community of trendsetters and creatives.”

Velvet Taco Wynwood offers a thoughtfully designed space that blends the brand’s signature industrial aesthetic with Wynwood’s vibrant, artistic vibe. Miami-based global art group, The Color Dreamers, has adorned the location with bold murals that reflect Velvet Taco’s playful spirit and pay homage to the area’s creative energy.


When it comes to the menu, Velvet Taco doesn’t disappoint. With over 20 globally-inspired tacos, including the crowd-favorite Korean Fried Rice with gochujang egg fried rice, the Spicy Tikka Chicken with crisp tenders and tikka sauce, and the Cuban Pig featuring slow-roasted pulled pork, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.



To celebrate the Miami launch, Velvet Taco Wynwood will also boast its first full-service cocktail bar, offering signature drinks like Kick-Ass Margaritas and Frozen Sangrita alongside Miami-inspired creations such as Electric Lemonade, Spicy Watermelon Fresca, and Bad Ass Mojito.

Sweet tooth? Don’t miss their house-made Red Velvet Cake, a double-layered treat with cream cheese frosting and a signature cajeta sauce—perfect to wrap up your visit.
