Veracruz Mexican Grill - Mexican restaurant in Tuscaloosa - 501 15th St E, USA

Have been here a couple of times, and I can attest to the fact that this is the second best Mexican place in town. Although it doesn't give the vibe of an "authentic Mexican place", the food is nevertheless close to what the cuisine actually is. Almost always, I have the Chicken Fajitas and Chicken Fajita Quesadilla, which are incredible. The tacos are decent. Their salsa is pretty good. Haven't tried a lot of non-Chicken dishes; but what I can guarnatee is that their any Chicken dish is delicious and filled with flavor. You cannot miss this place if you want to have Mexican.

Great little place! I Googled “best Mexican food near me” and here I am! Easily accessible from either direction (turn lanes). Great authentic Mexican vibe! The only reason I treated the food down was presentation. I ordered the B1 burrito and it looked like a big hoop on the plate. Tastes great but I’ve seen much better and colorful presentation.

Casual no frills joint. Servers were friendly but a bit slow to get back around to me after I needed a few more minutes to look at the menu. The refried beans side and meat in the burrito could have been sasaltier and had more spices. I added table salt and they ended up being fine. The hot sauces on the table were better than anywhere else I've been and helped buff up the flavor. The main contention with the food was the rice had hard clumps in it. I understand prepping rice at the beginning of the day or reserving leftovers from a large batch but heat it in a steamer or something to prevent this. Flavor was OK though. I will give this place another chance. They have a huge menu to be explored.

Beautiful atmosphere, great customer service. The food and drinks will not disappoint you. I would give VMG 10 stars if it was available. Make sure you try them out. You will thank me later.

Food was amazing! The portion is a lot and the price was cheap! I only got one problem with them and that’s I never get my cheese dip whenever I ordered To go but overall it’s a good place

The host was efficient and checked on us. The food was decent and well priced. The queso is delicious.

The veggie quesadilla was very good and came with generous servings of rice and refried beans. The combo quesadilla plate also was delicious and had hearty servings. Overall, the price was very reasonable. My only complaint was that it took a while to get our servers attention when we wanted the check.

We came here Sunday afternoon. They immediately sat us and handed us our chips and salsa. The chips were warm but they were hard and not enjoyable. Salsa is good, however. We ordered drinks and when mine came, it had a fly in it so I had to ask for another. We ordered chicken fajitas for one and it was more than enough to split for 2 people. They came out fast and sizzling, still with smoke. Good portion of chicken and veggies, with side of lettuce, pico, beans, and rice. The pico was a bit overdressed with lime. The chicken itself is marinated in something that is super dark and at the bottom of the plate is just a pool of this dark liquid which I didn't like. I'd prefer something more fresh. Was very pricey- Sunday's they don't do lunch specials and they are currently charging .95 extra for grilled meats because of a shortage.. you’ll probably be spending around $20 a person if you get any side dips/drinks We've had better experiences here but today has made me wonder if I should be searching for a better Mexican restaurant
