    Shrimp fajitas
    Demetris C.

    On a road trip was in need of food that wasn't fast food. This place Mexican food is great. I'm from so cal and you would think the Mexican food would be better. But this place taste better than Mexican food I have had in Los Angeles and San Diego. If your in green river don't waster time looking for other places just come here. Very friendly staff and come on support local family owned restaurants with good food. Look at my photo I cleaned that plate.

    Decent lunch option if you are in a pinch. They didn't have several things on the menu available, and it seemed to be one person running the whole restaurant. On the other hand the restaurant was clean and the food was not bad. A bit pricey, a bit greasy. The waitress was nice though and it wasn't a bad experience. Probably the best part was the sign that said "people who order food must pay for it". Seems like a threat!! lol

    We came here on our way from Goblin Valley States Park to Moab. We wanted some Mexican food. The service was good but the food was mediocre. The chicken was a real yellow color and had a little bit of an odd taste to it. They also charge extra for chips so make sure to ask what they charge for and don't charge for. The food isn't terrible but I think it could have better taste.

    The best food in town, hands down! We were staying at a local AirBNB and this place came highly recommended. The staff was super friendly and made us feel right at home. I had the beef steak ranchero, and it was a perfect sized portion. The steak was juicy and the sauce had a nice kick to it. I definitely recommend this place whenever you're in the area!

    Nostalgia may have my opinion a little slanted. When I was a kid we used to always go to Moab at least once a year. Just about every time we would stop at Ben's Cafe on the way there. Ben's Cafe served Mexican food, and eventually closed down. La Veracruzana is in the same space, has left some of the old Ben's Cafe signs up, and is a trip down memory lane for anyone that visited Ben's Cafe years ago. For food I went with a beef taco and beef enchiladas. It was around $12 and came with a huge serving of delicious rice and beans. We also got some chips and salsa to split, and I had a horchata. Our food came out after around 15-20 minutes, and overall it was pretty good. My wife wasn't a huge fan of the chicken plate she got, so I'd recommend staying with the beef if you can't decide. I also wish they had a little more variety in hot sauce than just the Tapatio I saw on our table, or maybe an option to spice up your plate. Overall I was happy with the experience, but I recognize that a large part of that was because of my Ben's Cafe nostalgia. I'd be happy to stop by here and try some other items in the future. Also, I play a lot of disc golf and there were 3 discs used for decoration here, so that got me excited.

    Wow! I was was so surprised when I got my food! This was the best food on my whole vacation. It was flavorful, rich and authentic. I'm sure that this place couldn't make a bad meal.

    Molcajete for two.

    The service is wonderful. Food is fresh to order and basically farm to table. The atmosphere is like going home to Mom's. Delightful staff and the chef is out of this world. Wish we could import this restaurant to our hometown in Canada.

    How is it possible that I ordered two tamales à la carte that cost $ 2.75 each and I did not ask for anything else, no drink or anything. The total of my account was $ 5.50 and with the tax they charged me $ 8.09 ???? Are $ 2.59 of taxes ??? What is almost 50% of taxes? It is a ROBO, the food is good but they are stealing, I asked for my receipt and they only gave me a receipt with the total. It is not the amount of money but the ill-intentioned action. THEY ARE SOME THIEVES AND I DO NOT RECOMMEND EATING THERE.. cómo es posible que pedi dos tamales a la carta que cuestan $2.75 cada uno y no pedi nada más. El total de mi cuenta era $5.50 y con el impuesto me cobraron $8.09 ???? son $2.59 de impuestos??? psea que es casi el 50% de impuestos?? es un ROBO, la comida es buena pero están robando, pedí mi recibo y solo me entregaron un recibo con el total. No es la cantidad de dinero sino la acción mal intencionada. SON UNOS LADRONES Y NO RECOMIENDO COMER AHI.

    We stopped in for lunch off the interstate and had a solid meal. We would stop again. No margaritas though.

    The food only tasted like salt and the rice was burned. Only one bathroom that was disgusting!
