Disgusting food weak drink's terrible wait staff dirty plates and silverware dirty glasses go at your own health risk

Always nice experience while eating in. The drinks are great, food is wonderful and the service is quick.

Everything is good. We have never received anything that didn't taste good. If I had one complaint it's they put white cheese on almost everything. Wit staff is nice. It's a bit on the speedy side for Mexican food but it's still a good value. We always have a good time. read more

I've come to this location/ establishment more times than plenty . Being an individual from Southern California, my expectations on Mexican food is a little high . Although Veracruz wasn't what I expected , but I'm also hard to please. let me first say they did not disappoint me either. The location it's self is always a little tight/crowded. I've gone on both a weekday as well as a weekend and business is always flowing and consistent. They move fast and the food is good too .. not a huge deal breaker , but there are a few of the workers whom don't understand or speak very much English. It can be a little frustrating trying to communicate with your sever about what you want and he/she doesn't comprehend. Nevertheless, our food came out correct for the most part and we enjoyed our food and drinks. They play decent music surprisingly! I Heard a mixture of R&B, some old school and a little of hip hop. I'm assuming that they're trying to cater to the majority of their clientele and I say that without being bias. It's a really nice spot . With the way their business is booming I suggest a bigger location so that people aren't eating elbows to elbows and breathing on the next persons neck. read more

Veracruz Cafe - Mexican Near Me - Cedar Hill, Texas

This is my go to spot. The fish tacos are amazing. The service is always excellent. This is a hidden gem.

I have never been to a restaurant with more attentive wait staff than here! Everyone was so kind, helpful, and ATTENTIVE. I think the reason I'm so impressed is because they were actually pretty busy, and they were on top of things as if we were the only ones there. The food was great - enchilada trio, peace pipe, and nachos. The chicken on the nachos was a bit dry, but overall good. The rice was perfectly fluffy, just not well-seasoned. I would go back just for the 5-star customer service. Definitely recommend. read more

Good food, service and atmosphere. The house margaritas are potent and the table serenades created an atmosphere of fun and laughter.

Vera Cruz on Cedar Hill has drifted downward in food quality over the last six months. Not sure where they purchase their chicken but it must have been produced in my childhood.., I am 71 Rubbery And the fajitas are not fajitas The beef looks like it came off a Greek rotisserie. SO Sad read more

Love this place!! Excellent food- excellent margaritas- and great service - We discovered this place after having to walk out of another restaurant (Joes Crab Shack) after sitting for over 25min with no service - and it wasn't even very busy - Vera Cruz cafe saved the day and never disappoints! read more

Depending on what Chef is on duty, the food can be excellent. Coming from Texas, I think I am a good judge of good Mexican and Tex Mex. There is clearly more than one Chef at this restaurant. I've been 6 times and of the 6, 3 times have been AMAZING. The other 3.... Meh Their table side quac is consistently good (how can you screw up guacamole?) - Their drinks are inconsistent as well which is a bummer because I love a good cocktail! Overall, not bad. read more

Drinks are good. 2 was the limit! Food is good as always. I wish they had a bigger building!

Food is subpar!!! Service is very slow! Waiters ate very rude when restaurant is busy'

The service is always great. The food is wonderful. The atmosphere is inviting. This is a great place for a meal.

The service here is true Mexican hospitality they are so nice and treat you like family . The food was so good and I will definitely go back to get more ! The music they were playing was so on trend and it made the dining experience that much better ! Definitely recommend read more

This place is so average. Mezcal margarita was good. 3 teaspoons of guacamole for $12.00. The enchiladas were bland. I'm not likely to return~ Even charged for tortillas.. read more

Veracruz Bishop art location food is better than that of Cedar Hill. You cannot go wrong with the margaritas at either, and they can be ordered to go. read more

The service was amazing and the food was absolutely delicious. It was a little pricey but it seems like anywhere that has decent food is. The restaurant is small and feels tucked off and low key which was nice being that it's right off the highway. read more

Great tasting food. Really good service. Good food temperature. Good good good goood food

The meltdown is famous for a reason. Don't let the size of the drink fool you! You will be pleasantly sleep in no time. All the food is good with excellent portions. This Is my go-to when work has been tough. Shrimp and brisket quesadillas are LEGEND! Service is quick but never rude. read more

Great food. Great service. Took my great niece for dinner. She was thrilled to be able to have French fries with her enchiladas.

My favorite restaurant! Have been visiting since 2005 when I turned 21! They have the best margaritas and Sergio is wonderful! He always takes care of you and makes sure no matter how busy they are, that you have a great experience! Thank you!! read more

We went here for a girls day dinner. The workers were so nice to us and made us feel very welcomed. The food was so good and big portions. We enjoyed ourselves so much. The only thing we had any kind of problem with was we each paid for ourselves and the waitress charged us gratuity 20% on every one of our tickets. Which we planned on tipping her of course, but she shouldn't take it upon herself to charge us it. read more

Veracruz Cafe - We had so much fun. They gave us our own spot. - Mexican Near Me - Cedar Hill, Texas

The food is more Aztec/Mexican than traditional Mexican so it's a little different variety than some are used to seeing... But so worth it! Presentation & taste of food was excellent. With generous portions.... Wonderful authentic flavours, fresh salsa and chips, pretty attentive service.... Service was prompt and courteous, prices reasonable, the decor festive.  The Jarochitas (Mexican egg rolls - with chicken, cheeses and spinach) were delicious and the sauce with them (Crema Hausteca) was so good that I asked if they bottled and sold it (they don't).  The chips were crispy and tasty and the salsa was delicious and not too spicy. Margaritas are always on point....However the meltdown cocktail is my favorite and have me feeling just right when I leave. :) So I'm very glad I have this close to my home. Although I have been to the one on the Bishop Arts District.... It's a really good treat to have both of them in the Southwest area.... Love this place!!! read more

Love the service and food! The drinks are amazing! And often times they play good music!

They were bring out chips and salsa before we even got to our table. Server appeared with water immediately after we sat down. Food was tremendous and the service was beyond expectations. This is how customer service should be done. We have been here three times in the last 2 months and it's always the same...beyond exceptional. read more

The food is great! Our favorite server is Sergio! Friendly atmosphere always packed! Great meet up place for friends

Yum yum YUM! If you're looking for some authentic Mayan food with a hint of Tex Mex this place is for you. I ordered the dark chicken wrapped in a banana leaf and to be honest I've never had such a tender, moist piece of chicken in my life. I recommend trying the spicy salsa they give you with the complementary chips it has such amazing flavors. Unfortunately I couldn't find the exact name for this dish on the menu they have on their website but it was amazing. The staff were so kind and helpful, and you could tell they were also taking Covid seriously. Unlike a lot of restaurants unfortunately. If you're looking for somewhere with unique delicious food and kind people you definitely need to visit this place! read more
