I visited Veronica's for the first time last Wednesday night and now I know what the hype is all…read moreabout! I had been wanting to go for quite some time to try the Birria because I heard it is so amazing, and it really lived up to the Hype! Oh, did I mention they have the viral soft serve margaritas!?!?! I got the strawberry, it was so pretty, excellent presentation and absolutely delicious! I will say it was more like a dessert to me and I would have preferred to have it after my meal instead if before but that's just me. We got there between 6:30 and 7:00 and it was really busy, luckily our friends got there first and grabbed a table. They had already had a round of drinks while waiting on us but it took a while for anyone to come over to greet us or refill their drinks but again it was busy and everyone was helping everyone. We ended up splitting the birria platter and still had plenty of food to take home which we just ate last night as leftovers and were still absolutely fire!! I think the egg roll and quesadillas were my favorite over the tacos bc I love the melty cheese. I also ordered a small side of queso which was surprisingly a little spicy which I really enjoyed. They even surprised us when my BIL ordered a small margarita and it came out in a fish glass (see photo). It was so unexpected but also so cute at the same time ... it's really the little things like this that bring joy, okay? LOL This place was absolutely amazing and I can't wait to try it again.

After my 3rd visit to Veronica's I figured it was time to do my review so here it is... after…read morebecoming a big fan of all things birria it became clear Veronica's was a place I needed to visit. It's nestled in an area known to have a lot of flavor already so just be aware of that. Firstly I will say the folks running this establishment are friendly, kind, humorous and above all attentive. The service has never failed me. The birria is exactly as you'd expect very very well done and consistent. I've had the quesabirria tacos, birria eggrolls and "pizza" also recently the steak quesadilla. All perfectly executed and tasty AF. The environment in the restaurant is vibrant and the decor is elaborate. The prices are maybe a few dollars more than say your average Mexican eatery. $15 for three Quesabirria tacos, quesadilla 18 bucks (too much). In my opinion the birria platter is the best value for first time visitors. Chips and salsa are free and very good. Overall I would definitely recommend Veronica's I've never left feeling like I didn't get my moneys worth or the food wasn't great and this means a lot.

The chips and salsa were good and seemed really fresh. I loved my lunch chimichanga ($13), the best I have had in a while. The vegetarian tacos ($15) were okay, they were definitely messy to eat and needed more salt but the salsa verde helped. The refried beans were good, more flavorful than the normal beans you seem to get everywhere else. Aside from the lunch specials their prices look a little higher than your typical Mexican place but if ingredients are fresh and a step up in quality, I don't mind too much. Street tacos also looked good and things you cant get everywhere (Suadero anyone?) so I will probably be heading back to try those and a margarita flight.

There seems to have been quite a bit of turnover in the last year or so and many of the amazing servers who used to work here are gone. And, the new ones seem to provide the bare minimum of attentiveness. It used to be the case that I came frequently enough that they basically had my order down pat (including my special requests for extra hot sauce). That has been replaced with literally not even getting basic service like a timely water refill. Or, not getting silverware until I asked for it. They tried the buffet for a while (which I never partook in), but around that time the food quality seemed to get worse. They got rid of the buffet, but the food still suffers. On my recent trip, the chips were even gross. The seasoning was bland and the lettuce looked old. ¿Qué te pasó, Mi Casita? Solías ser mi lugar favorito.

I love the aromas when you walk into a Mexican grocery store. Mexican food has such a wonderful palette that I instantly want to buy everything and start cooking for days. Supermercado Puebla isn't huge. In fact, it's on the small side, but what it lacks in square footage it makes up for in fully stocked shelves. There's seldom open shelf space, and while it may seem cramped and the aisles can be a little tight, it makes sense and everything is logically arranged. The meat counter in the back is a constant hub of activity, with 3 or 4 people cutting, packaging, and seasoning meats. The produce area is my favorite of the store, stocking fresh everyday veggies as well as Mexican veggies. And, hand to god, the best jalapeños I can find in town. Seriously THE BEST! Mexican is very much the prominent language here (expectedly), but for the most part the staff will do their best to help you find something or answer any questions. From seasonings to sauces to kitchen utensils to fresh cut meats to amazing produce to Mexican candies to glass-bottle Coke® (THE BEST!) Supermercado Puebla is as great as a neighborhood market.
