Gran Café de la Parroquia 200 Años — Restaurant in Veracruz

Pretty Nice Place! A bit hectic due to the amount of people that's usually at this place due to it's popularity, but it definitely shows why once you're there! The costumer service is good. On top of that, they have a pretty nice display of pouring the milk if you order a Lechero Coffee! The food is tasty, it can be a hit or miss with how long it'll take for it to come out. The waiters are very attentive when anything is needed for the most part. Price wise, it's not expensive, but not cheap either so I'd say it's about right in the middle.

One of the must visit places in veracruz, Gran Cafe de la Parroquia, is a a tradition among locals here. This cafe opened its doors in 1808 and they still serve dishes from two centuries ago. I like to have the “bomba con frijoles” but the tamales, enfrijoladas and empanadas as excellent as well.

They also have a machine in one of the corners of the restaurant where they show you how they roast the coffee beans! Don’t miss it. It’s so interesting and cool to see...

When in the hometown visiting? A must stop. Every time. Period. The menu continues to be the same, for which I am grateful. The quality and execution remains! From the bombas con mantequilla, medianoche sándwich, or the torta parroquia, a must if you like a classic Cuban style sandwich, where the chorizo reigns!
