Best authentic Mexican I have had in Charlotte. It was recommended by an uber driver and it did. It disappoint.

What can I add that hasn't already been told ? Delicious food every single time. Excellent health score. Friendly and efficient wait staff . What are you doing with your life? Try it you'll like it . read more

Always consistent in food quality and prices are reasonable. The inside and exterior are outdated and don't necessarily draw you there but you go for the food but it is large enough to host large parties. The staff is very friendly and it's a great spot off the beaten path. read more

Great food- lots to chose from on the menu. Our server was really helpful in deciding what to get. I had the Chile Poblano and my husband had the pollo cream special. Both were fantastic. They have lunch specials all week- not just weekdays. It's worth checking this place out! read more

I was seeking a different Mexican restaurant to try. I figured the best thing to order anywhere is a fajita to get a good idea if it's worth coming back. I made my order online. I wasn't given an estimate time for pickup so I figured 15 mins was enough. It was ready upon pickup. Service was attentive and friendly. I got the shrimp fajita and the presentation was beautiful. The shrimp tasted good but the meal was bland. I found myself more interested in the chips and salsa. The salsa was a little hot 3 of 5 but I got use to it after coughing. I salted my meal with Kosher salt to my liking then it was good then. I'm super full and I think 4 stars is fair for the amount of food and just needing salt is potential for growth here. And to fix the small pothole outside. read more

Update: returned, staff was nice and attentive. Food was great and came out fast. When I first walked in I could smell air freshener which was kinda a bad first impression. read more

How does a place offer a margarita on "special" but the margarita machine is out of order, not once but every time? Even if it weren't on special, we only like the frozen margaritas out of the machine because of the texture, and just want a good old frozen marg. I could overlook it being out of order once but it's every single time we decide to try again. Our mistake, won't make it again - will never be back. Food is decent, but just like every other Mexican place in the area. Nothing spectacular. read more

Really good salsa, just a little too spicy for me. Got the pollo de crema on the lunch special, so good, came with rice a beans and four tortillas for $9.95. Also, clean bathrooms! Our server was nice and attentive. read more

We were looking for a place to eat around my dad's area to meet up & so good reviews on this place(plus I love Mexican food). We got there and weren't too busy(just opened an hour ago), which was a plus it has a good ambiance to meet up with family or friends. The server greets us with the biggest smile & seated us. The seat & table ratio was off(table lower than booth) but didn't prevent us from eating. The food was good & as pictured good amount of serves. The services were A1. I just wish they would've brought my chips & salsa. read more

Great food and good service. Nothing fancy but food is yummy. I've been eating there since they were in their old location.

This place never disappoints! My fiancée and I go here all the time to try new things and everything is amazing!! We always get Krystal the server (not by choice or anything I'm sure all the servers are so sweet and good) but she is so sweet and always takes care of us! This place is the spot! read more

My oldest son and I came here for our monthly outing. I read other good reviews for this place and we love Mexican food so it was an easy choice. Tables are spaced out here and they have a good sanitation grade. Chips and salsa was served. My son liked the salsa. I thought it was ok. I liked the queso better. He got chicken quesadillas and I got a whole fish. Food was fresh and good. Service was good and we saw a lot of to go orders being prepared. We will return! read more

El Veracruz Mexican Restaurant - Burrito Deluxe with Chips & Salsa. Plenty of food ! - Mexican Near Me - Pineville, North Carolina

In the mood for some Mexican Food so we went to our favorite place. If you want authentic Mexican Food, this is the place to go. They have good food, great staff and they are never overcrowded. So, what did we get? Well my wife got the combo #4. It had an enchilada and tostada and a taco. I got the El Vara Cruz quesadilla. It has chicken and cheese and queso cheese. I'm kind of weird so I got fries with it. Now we started out with fresh chips and salsa. We also cheese to dip it in. The chips come out super fast. We also got two sweet teas. Fast forward...the food comes out and as usual the food is great. I try my best to find something wrong every time but I fail every time. This one is short and simple. If you want good food, come here. Large cheese dip: $7.95 Drinks: $2.50 a piece Combo #4: 11.95 Quesadilla: $10.95 Total: $38.27 for two people (Tip not included) read more

We always enjoy El Veracruz. Prices are reasonable, but even more importantly, the food is delicious. I love the fish tacos and the chipotle chicken salad. My husband loves the chipotle chicken and all the burritos. read more

Food and service was good a lot of food for price - then we saw a roach on the wall right by my food, and I saw lipstick on my wine glass.

Simply Delicious!!! I can wait to be back through the area again. Friendly staff made this recommendation over something I was going to order, he was spot on. Gracias read more

El Veracruz Mexican Restaurant - Chicken Tortilla Soup - Mexican Near Me - Pineville, North Carolina

As a resident of California who loves Mexican food, I was pleased to find a Mexican restaurant right next to my hotel. Sadly, the food was anything but authentic Mexican. I would even go as far as to say, Taco Bell would have been a better choice which should tell you all you need to know! I ordered a burrito and enchilada combo. The enchilada was plain ground beef in a small tortilla, the burrito was plain ground beef in a large tortilla! Very bland, no spice or seasoning. As you can guess, I will not be returning should I happen to stay here again. read more

Such a great Mexican place. They have lunch specials everyday of the week until 3 pm including the weekend. Roll out of bed late? you still have time to catch that late Saturday lunch special! Try the chicken flautas. You will not be disappointed. I've always had great service when I've eaten here and everyone is really friendly. The salsa is some of my favorite in town and it's bottomless along with the chips. Make sure you don't fill up on the chips and salsa so you can enjoy your meal. Get a HUGE bowl of the chicken tortilla soup during the winter to keep yourself warm. The bowl is filled with tortilla chips, onions, and lots of shredded chicken. I heard about Veracruz from a friend and I'm so glad I did. It's on of my favorite places to go in town for Mexican! read more

My wife and I have come here several times. Consistently good food and reasonably priced. Friendly and fast service. If you get the quesadilla it's big so go easy on the chips/salsa. read more

Love this place! Always familiar servers and excellent service. Food is fantastic no matter what you get! Had chips and salsa along with queso and chorizo which was yum. Loved the taquitos- half pork half chicken . Have never had a bad experience here and their margaritas are fantastic!! read more

Delicious food, great service and nice ambiance. My favorite is the fajitas. I ALWAYS get the Veracruz fajitas which has the shrimp, beef and chicken. It's a healthy alternative. I get no rice and extra beans to keep the carbs low. read more

The food was decent but the service was very slow. My drink from the bar was very watered down. Had three or four people waiting on us so never knew who to call for the check after we waited a while. read more

So I had received a recommendation from a friend, and Yelper, regarding El Veracruz, and decided to check it out with some friends on a Saturday night. Upon arrival we were surprised to see it is not your traditional Mexican restaurant/set up, more of a restaurant with a large bar, stage and TVs. What we came to realize was that Saturday night it is a little happening spot late night with dancing and drinks. Anyway, back to dinner. We were seated and brought the standard chips and salsa. Unfortunately the chips were a little bland and cold, maybe a day old. However I did enjoy the salsa! I ordered the Chicken Fajitas while others chose combos, burritos and tacos mainly. After 30 minutes no sign of food, but our waiter politely told us due to a large party the kitchen was a little behind. But, due to the delay he brought complimentary cheese dip. Great customer experience in my mind. However, if I were to return I wouldn't order the cheese dip, very blah. Once our food arrived we were all very happy. The Fajitas were so good, piping hot served on a sizzling platter with peppers, onions, tomatoes and mushrooms. So good! I also very much enjoyed the rice! Others were very happy with their entrees. Overall, the food was good, service was great and I probably would return again if I were in the area. read more

There's no sign from the street, so I almost missed it. I found them on YELP. I moved from CA where the best Mexican food comes from. So far this is the best Mexican food that I've had in Charlotte area. It was really good. I'll be going back. read more

Geez!! It starts with the salsa.. service is always swift but the food is so good! I mean GOODT!! The churi-queso is delicious and the house salsa is something I try to take home every time.

Flew in from Texas just to go to the Elavation Church and was craving mexican food . Food was delicious & the place was charming .

Wifey and I got it to go, food was ready at suggested time and the ground beef in my burrito was perfectly seasoned. My wife loves their salsa and chips too. New to the Pineville-Matthews area and this is our New Mexican spot! Cheers read more

THIS IS A FIRST! I have never eaten at a so-called "authentic" Mexican food restaurant that is completely flavorless and bland. Until El Veracruz. Holy crap. Even MY homemade tacos and guacamole have more flavor than this stuff. SUPER DISAPPOINTING. The ground beef in my tacos have negative flavor. The salsa tastes like cold tomato soup. All of it ... the whole meal tastes like I have COVID and lost my sense of taste! Waste of money. At least I didn't get sick so far. read more
