VELVET TACO GOES GLOBAL WITH FIRST LOCATION 'ACROSS THE POND'
New restaurant to open in London's financial district Nov. 20
DALLAS, Nov. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Velvet Taco, the innovative fast-casual restaurant known for its globally inspired tacos, opened its doors in London's Broadgate Circle today, marking a major milestone as the brand's first international location.
The London opening represents a pivotal moment in Velvet Taco's evolution from regional favorite to global brand. After building a cult following across more than 50 U.S. locations, the brand is using London as a springboard to bring unconventional tacos to food-forward cities worldwide.
"London marks the start of Velvet Taco's international growth and our next chapter as a global brand," said Velvet Taco Chief Financial Officer Josh Goodell. "We've spent almost 15 years perfecting a menu that's built on bold creativity, inspired by flavors from Seoul to Mexico City to India. Now, we're taking that globally minded approach to a city that celebrates culinary diversity."
The London menu features UK-inspired favorites like the Spicy Tikka Chicken Taco and Fish n' Chips Taco, alongside signature offerings including the Beer Battered Cauliflower Taco and Bacon Smash Burger Taco. Adding to this creative foundation is Velvet Taco's Weekly Taco Feature (WTF) program — an innovation engine that introduces 52 unique, limited-time tacos annually. London guests will experience the rotating options that have earned cult status stateside, plus menu staples like the Red Velvet Cake and Kick Ass Margarita.
The London opening is just the beginning. Velvet Taco plans to bring its globally inspired tacos to more international cities, proving that bold knows no boundaries.
The 2,500-square-foot restaurant at 33 Broadgate, London EC2M 2QS, in the heart of the city's financial district, will operate seven days a week.
