Earlier this year, Velvet Taco made news in Plano when it set up a miniature version of the store in Legacy Hall. The Legacy Hall food stall is expected to remain open following the opening of Plano’s full store.

The new Plano location is expected to have all of the same fan favorites. It is also expected to be open late, as Velvet Taco’s original Knox-Henderson location is open until 4 a.m. Fans of Velvet Taco will also be able to order Velvet Taco’s secret backdoor chicken dinner. The backdoor chicken is a rotisserie chicken that comes with tortillas, elote and salsa, and it is available for purchase by handing the drive-thru operator $20. On Mondays, you can get this deal for only $10.
