The food was perfect fresh and flavorful. I came to try Islas Veracruz with my co-worker and some friends that came after, After finishing up a landscaping job, and it really hit the spot. Highly recommend it. Best greetings to the cook behind that kitchen would be coming back.

Very disappointed in the food quality. Paid $30 plus and I get an old frozen fish. Very expensive and the food quality is horrible. Never will return.

Be careful the waitress already get there gratuity added to the bill and when u get ur change count it right I order a drink the bill was 21.12$ with the tip included I gave her 40$ she came back with 8$ I waited for her to see if she maybe made a mistake but no they thought be y people drink they won’t pay. Attention to there bill girl I know how to count I know 10$ was owed to me and she thought she was gunna keep that like no honey we tipped you enough for the pervious 3 cantinas we order that was 9$ each we paid 27$ of tip that was already included in the bill and for u to think you can get away with 10$ no lady

I ordered takeout and everything we got was so good. The burrito bowl with steak was so flavorful. Make sure to add the green sauce to give it a little kick. The garlic bread tastes like Texas toast, so it's nothing to rave about. The seafood mix soup was amazing. The broth was hot and spicy and full of different seafood. The three carnitas taco dinner was alright. However, the carnitas were kind of dry, so the green sauce was necessary. Overall, I would definitely come back!!!!

I will never go to eat there again... the first and last time the food we ordered was for them to give us tortillas or toast and they just gave us garlic bread and that was a quarter of a half... very expensive and secondly the horchata water tasted egg... And in the second we were 2 adults, a child and. A bb and the waitress automatically charged us a tip as if we were more than 10 people, the tip is put in the account... for those who go to eat there without knowing, look closely at why they charged me almost 20 dollars as a tip... you should to ask their boss to give them a raise so they don't come to that... bad service and I won't go again🤮🤮🤮

My coworker went to get our order and they give us this what kinda business service food like this and then you go to get your money back and the owner won’t even come out for the back to show his face to talk for a refund or do another order the stupid cashier wants to keep talking and talking then say she can’t do nothing for me ok so here’s where you will hear me this is bullshyt worse place ever that the police had to be involved and the owner then wants to tell the girl give her a refund we don’t need police problems no more and they keep deleting my reviews also like next time service the right food and not someone else plate and just throw it in the tray like really that’s nasty and she still didn’t throw the food out she went and took it to the cook and they went and put it in the pot like nasty how can you do that never again

Food was delicious! Service was great. Haven’t had good mariscos in a while. We’re picky Mexicans but we were happily surprised by the quality of the food and service. 10/10.
We were skeptical to come because of some of the reviews but glad we still decided to come. Maybe coming in the early afternoon explains the great service. Either way it was great.

It was the first time we visited this place, and it will certainly be the last. We waited more than half an hour to be served. The food 7/10, the meat of the tacos was so dry that it seemed like it was reheated for the third time. We had terrible service, it is one of the few places that did not deserve a tip, but they will still charge you without prior notice 20% is too much.
Party of 3 adult and 1 kids, they add tip without telling us. I always tip 20+% if you ask for 18% that better for me.
At least be honest with customers when you charge a tip. Let them know you already put tip in the bill. The way they do, they don't tell you, so if you dont check your receive, you will tip on top of the tip they already changed. So greedy!
Also, the servers are not trained well, so slow and unprofessional. This reflex the owner who cares just to make money, not hospitality.
There are so many seafood restaurants that have better food and better services nearby. Not recommended this restaurant, it's not worth the price you pay. 👎👎👎

We have enjoyed this for years but the quality of the food seems to have changed in the last year or so. And they make such obvious mistakes. Very disappointing.
