Both my partners parents called this place "the best restaurant they had in Veracruz"…read more Our favorite dish here, the one I highly recommend, is the "Camarones estancia" which had shrimp, cheese and peppers/onions in a creamy green sauce (pictured below). That dish, which was 240 pesos, is a solid 5 stars. We also ordered their signature dish, the "molcajete del Rey" which was an octopus, shrimp and garlic soup served in the restaurants traditional stone wear bowl made from volcanic rock for 378 pesos. It was good, but I definitely preferred the "camarones estancia" more. We also tried some tacos de pulpo, which were a little too spicy for me but my partner and his parents really enjoyed and I ordered the "ensalada berros" for 100 pesos which had peppery watercress greens, pine nuts, goat cheese with walnuts, little crunchy bits and cherry tomatoes. It was good but I had wished that it would have come with a salad dressing. I especially enjoyed the goat cheese balls in it and used some of the sauce from the "camarones estancia" to dress it since I really liked that sauce and it was not too spicy. The "liquado de papaya" was also good but it appeared to be mixed either with a thick yogurt drink or sweetened condensed milk which made it very rich and likely high in sugar and lactose so it is not for everyone. One thing I will say is that if you pay using a card make sure they are not overtipping you since they kept calculating a 50% tip on our bill and we kept having to repeatedly correct them for it - so just make sure you don't get scammed, particularly because the prices here are more expensive than many of the other restaurants in the area.

All I can say is that this was some of the best cuts of steak I have ever had!!! I started with a meat empanada that was just delicious. Then an amazing salad with apple, nuts, and house vinaigrette that was also super fresh and delicious. Then came the different cuts of meat that my nephew ordered for the table. Simply some of the best steak ever. Juicy, full of flavor and cooked to perfection. Jaime, the owner was there and gave us some great info about the different dishes. Definitely on my list to go to again the next time I'm there. Go and try it out. You won't regret it. Gracias Jaime!!!

The prices are good for the area but I can't really say the quality is all that good ... a bit…read morebelow average The agua fresca just tasted like sugar water with a hint of pineapple flavor Some of the noodles were also burnt in the pasta soup which was average quality for the area but tasted good when the lime juice was added The entree was alright, not the best, but still good considering it was only 65 pesos for octopus - about the third of the price as you would usually get for an octopus dish - loved the touch of the spices including the olives they added to it- the octopus was of the small variety which is probably how they got the price for the dish so low - also a good amount of vegetables to freshen it up The restaurant was very clean and had a nice smell - but the location wasn't great as there were a few large buses in front honking loudly Overall it was not the best food in Veracruz but still a decent restaurant with a really good price so we would consider going to this place again ... it is kind of hidden in the corner so you really have to look for it

We drove by at noon and the place was packed, so we returned two hpurs later and it was still busy…read more Bybthe time we were seated it was close to 3pm, and we were starving. We all ordered different things from the menu, and all of us shared a hige platter of carne pastor. It was enough pastor for six people and we made our own tacos with the tortillas. In fact, I think it was more than 1 kilo. Another friend ordered camarones with coconut and it was remarkable! It made me want to order the same even though I am not a hige fan of seafood. The ambiance was nice and everyone looked to be very busy. This restaurant came highly recommended and i would give it high marks as well.
