I wish we could rate this place a 100/5 stars! We love Veracruz!! The most authentic Mexican food you’ll find in central IL. Great prices and even better food. We love their tacos and burrito. Chips and salsa are good too!

Nice hole-in-the-wall local Mexican restaurant in Bloomington area. Steady stream of people coming to eat there or pick-up their orders. Pretty good amount of space to eat inside and out. I ordered the large steak burrito. Their steak burrito tasted great. Very enjoyable dining experience while in town on business. Enjoy!
Tip: You have to order and pay for your food first and then sit down if you are dining in. They will then bring it to you.
Note: Not sure if they offered chips and salsa. I saw people eating it, but I was not offered any. You may have to pay to get chips and salsa, but not sure because I was not offered any when I sat down to eat.

Amazing staff that guided my hunger to the promised land. My friend find this gem on our road trip across the country and what a true delight. Coming from Los Angeles we didn’t expect such great standards. It was rather pricey but very with it nonetheless as the quality was superior to our local fares. Prepare to take off!!

TOP NOTCH food and service! Very friendly, quick service, and a the food is absolutely delicious! Generous portions and great prices as well! This was my first time here and I wasn’t super hungry but I got a taco, rice and beans. Also tried the chips, queso and salsa. All delicious. And they have Mexican coke bottles! Not a huge restaurant but still seating and tables for 30~or so people. Can’t wait to come back and try more items on the menu. The Carne Asada is AMAZING.

Dissapointed in MYSELF… That I had never been to Veracruz until today. As a taco lover this is arguably the best spot for tacos I have ever been to. Their chicken Taco with cilantro, lime and onion is so fresh, hot, and flavorful that it doesn’t get much better. They also have quite the selection to build your taco. The chipotle chicken taco explodes with flavor. That said, If you want a staple taco, look no further than the steak taco, which provides top notch flavor and the texture you want from a steak taco. The service, the speed, and the food are as 5 stars as it gets.
