Super disappointed iv been coming here for a few years now and I only order 1 dish because it's my favorite and I always get it here. Yesterday I ordered pulpo and before I would always get a whole octopus sometimes with the head and sometimes with out but it's understandable, yeaterday I got a few small pieces that were all cut up and were only the tips of the tentacles that were tough and didn't taste fresh for $30 I was really disappointed the salsa was good...

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.

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!!!!
