    I wasn’t even craving authentic Mexican food. I saw a small sign on the side of the road and decided to go in. ONE OF MY BEST CHOICES! This new hip restaurant was a great choice. When I first walked in, I was greeted by the staff with friendly smiles and a great energy. Their BIRRIA TACOS straight up fire! The atmosphere was on point so I had to get a a little drinky drink. Honestly the drink too good that it was bad! Like the flavor was all there but you couldn’t taste the alcohol. Until the drinky drink gets you a little drinky drunk Lmfao! 12/10 would recommend this place to anyone and all my friends. I will be back 100%

    Great size portions excluding the request for salt!!! Friendly staff and new waitress who did a decent job except checking back and drink refills The salsa was tasty, as well as the chicken chorizo main course, which I would recommend.

    Veracruz is a true gem for authentic Mexican cuisine. I travel frequently for work and eat out often, and I can confidently say this is one of the best restaurants I’ve come across — not just for the flavor, but for the quality and the warm, welcoming atmosphere. The food is incredibly flavorful and clearly made with care. The team treats you like family from the moment you walk in. Henry, in particular, stands out with his genuine customer service skills — he has a real gift for making guests feel valued and at home. The entire staff goes above and beyond. I’ll absolutely be coming back again and again. Highly recommended!

    Every time I come here it’s perfect experience. Food is amazing and beer is ice cold. My guy Eric delivers top notch service you can’t find anywhere but here. Best food/service in Middletwon.
