Velvet Taco

Today we celebrate Andres Lopez for five years at 6th & Congress in Austin #CincoClub! From the rush of service to the grind of prep, Andres leads by example pushing through challenges, uplifting the team, and always striving for excellence. Balancing two full time jobs, his resilience and work ethic never waver. Success is not just about hard work it is about teamwork, passion, and perseverance. Thank you Andres for your commitment and impact. Here is to five years of excellence and many more to come! ??

Congratulations to Abraham Mendoza from our Dallas Preston & Forest restaurant on five years of dedication, growth, and impact! We are so grateful for everything you bring to the team—your hard work, positivity, and passion do not go unnoticed. Here's to celebrating you and all that you’ve accomplished! #CincoClub #OneVibeOneTribe??

The final day of Velvet Fever was all about growth, vision, and celebration. We took a deep dive into our financial state, people development, and how we help guests break free to explore new flavors and experiences. Guest speaker Galen Emanuele shared powerful insights on leadership and culture before we closed out the week with an awards dinner, celebrating the incredible work of our Tribe. We ended the night on the dance floor! What a great week, counting down the days ‘til next year’s Leadership Conference. ????? #LeadTheHustle #OwnTheGroove #LeadershipConference

Day two of Velvet Fever focused on growth and leadership as we heard from our leaders on the state of the brand, unlocking potential, elevating standards, and path progression. We ended the day with dinner alongside our Tribe members and sponsors, followed by some friendly competition at Flight Club. Looking forward to what’s next! ?????? #LeadTheHustle #OwnTheGroove #LeadershipConference

We’ve touched down in Vegas for our 2025 Leadership Conference: Velvet Fever and kicked off night one with a 70’s themed celebration filled with tarot card readings, tattoos, happy hour, and dancing ???? It was the perfect way to start the week, and there’s so much more to come! #LeadTheHustle #OwnTheGroove #LeadershipConference

We’re thrilled to welcome another Team Member to the Cinco Club! ?? Please join us in congratulating Carmen Rodriguez from Chicago Lincoln Commons on an incredible milestone, 10 years with Velvet Taco! Carmen began her journey at our Gold Coast location in Chicago before bringing her talents to help open our Lincoln Commons restaurant, where she has been ever since. Over the past decade, Carmen’s dedication, hard work, and positive attitude have made a lasting impact not just on her Tribe but on Velvet Taco as a whole. Her contributions are truly invaluable, and we can’t wait to see her continue Kicking Ass and Taking Names for the next 10 years! #CincoClub
