Veracruz Restaurant — Restaurant in Greenacres

Tonight my family and I decided to go for Mexican food , we have been to a few good places in the Wellington area and some not so much. I looked up reviews and for the first time saw Veracruz. It was close to Wellington where I live and going there was a great move. The service was second to none and the owner and Edwardo who is the brother n law to the owner all came to our table with helpful contributions to our dinner. They also have a happy hour from Monday to Thursday from 2pm till 7 pm. The drinks were on point as well as the sangria. The appetizers were delicious and so was the chips and salsa and hot salsa. Everything is homemade in this restaurant . It feels more like someone's house then a restaurant and it is obvious they take great pride in their work . I had the chicken fajitas . From the sauteed chicken to the refried beans everything was fresh and delicious. My son had a seafood dish which came out in a sundae bowl with big shrimp , octopus, and mussels and a sauce he told me was beyond excellent. Try to save some room cause the Flan and Tres Leche cake was also a hit. The prices are more than reasonable and during happy hour the margarita and many other drinks are only $6 dollars and they give you a good drink .Thank you Veracruz we will be back...

Real Mexican and really good. My friend and I went here for lunch. The first impression was of a great ambience: bright, clean, large. Eduardo was our server and could not have been more amiable and patient with all our questions. He brought tortilla chips, ( thin, light crispy) and both a red mild and a green spicier salsa. Both were tasty. I was thrilled to see Pescado Veracruzana on the menu, a much loved dish often difficult to find in the U.S so I passed up the daily lunch specials to have it. I asked to have it filleted. The fish was fresh and perfectly cooked and the sauce was delicious. It came with very fresh tasting refried beans, perfectly cooked rice, a tiny salad and two warm flour tortillas. My friend had the quesadilla with ground beef, refried beans, rice and that tiny salad. She thoroughly enjoyed it. We later spoke with Eduardo's sister who owns the restaurant. Everything is made fresh and to order. This is a really authentic Mexican restaurant. While the red Sangria was made with a tempranillo wine, I suggested it needed more freshly sliced citrus fruits to balance the sweetness and Cory was amenable to the suggestion. My friend and I will both be back, and we'll bring more...

This is a great place! I heard this guy who came from AZ (me too) so I headed over. Oh my God! This place is fantastic, no lie. Let’s start with the kind people who work there, Eduardo (not sure the spelling). What kind considerate person always very helpful. Then the drinks, talk about the best margarita in town! Then the appie, we choose the empanadas, I was thinking I was going to get a doughy covered piece of cold meat, NO WAY! It was the best I’ve ever had, the dough light and thin, the meat took center stage, and it was delicious. Main entrees, a carnitas burrito, again light tortilla fill full of meat, excellent choice (hubby says). I had chicken fajitas, wonderful moist and lots of meat. I can’t say enough great things about the home made the tortillas. I can’t forget about the salsa, the green hot one is fantastic, yes it has heat but it doesn’t burn, it adds flavor.

I’m telling you now, this was a great place. I will be back many times, I will also bring my guests. This is a place you would be proud to take anyone. VERACRUZ DONT FORGET THE...
