4 months agoI have never had higher quality food, or more authentic to its roots. The staff is ALWAYS nice. It may not look like anything special from the outside, but man their food feels like a warm embrace. Its just great.

9 months agoI 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!

a year agoNice 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.

a year agoAmazing 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!!
