    In town for a training, and this place was highly recommended by my instructor. This is a small Mexican grocery, which also sells a large variety of authentic, freshly made, reasonably priced Mexican food. I was told typically take out orders are relatively fast. We came with a larger group of eight and dined in, so it took a little bit of time before we got our food. I had empanadas, guacamole with freshly made tortilla chips, and al pastor tacos and everything was delicious. They also have Mexican drinks and paletas, as well as a variety of grocery items. Will definitely be back. Very friendly service. a small parking lot in front of the store. I only wish they also delivered but definitely 5/5 and the best meal in town.

    This food is fantastic and if it was located where I live I would go here once or twice a month. It's better than any Mexican food I've had in Northern Virginia or DC by a longshot. I ate at another Mexican restaurant in downtown Blackstone, and there was no comparison to this. They get busy during weekdays around dinner time, so the wait can be long, but it's worth it. If you get a 4 taco plate, they will let you get two different types of tacos (2 each), but you can't have four or three different taco types. I assume their salsas are made in-house. I particularly liked the hot green salsa. The guacamole is also fantastic and the chips served warm, also likely made in-house. My dining companions were all really happy with their orders. There isn't much ambiance. There are a few tables in the back of the grocery store, and people may need to share tables during busy times, but you can also order to go. I stopped for guacamole to take home on my way out of town.

    Excellent! We had tacos, chips, and guac, and all were great! Would definitely return.

    Absolutely a hidden gem in Blackstone, Virginia! It offers the finest and most authentic Mexican cuisine I've ever experienced.

    Delicious! Quick! Friendly and helpful service! We will definitely return! I'm in town on business and now that I've found this place, I hope to eat here every night, it's that good!

    Guac and chips!

    Had an awesome meal at Las Veracruzanas!!! The fresh guac was delish and the tacos (barbacoa and carnitas) were outstanding!!

Ask for something special in that regard and you won't be disappointed. The salsa flight for appetizer was excellent! They make their own salsas here and the salsa verde is the best I've had outside of Mexico or Southern California. They also got a sweet & spicy peanut salsa that I've never experienced. It was delicious! I tried the burr-ita (burrito/fajitas) for the entree and that was excellent, as well. We had a really nice time talking with Bill. Would recommend this place to anyone!

Having said that, I was pleased with my options here, and was hungry enough to devour both some tortilla chips with chopotle salsa and some indulgent mushroom tacos (albeit not hungry enough to ponder what I suspect would have been a quality dessert). Their vegetarian options are based around mushrooms, but I also got a lot of beans in on the side, and appreciated the freshly cooked peppers on the side. The mushrooms themselves were a little rubbery and I didn't like them as much as I'd hoped, but mixed in with the other ingredients the total result was good, and I was happy to find a place that suited my dietary needs and offered a variety of fresh tastes.

    I showed up at high noon on a Monday. It was just me so I skipped the wait and bellied up to the…read morebar. It was a nice wide bar with a row of TV's lining the wall. The bartender greeted me and asked if I wanted the regular menu or was the lunch menu sufficient. I perused the lunch menu, which had several different options. Surprisingly, everything on that menu was half price! What a deal! I ordered the most expensive item, the catfish sandwich, which was only $10. Even though they were very busy, I got my sandwich within ten minutes. They call it a sandwich but there ain't no way I could eat it like a sandwich, even with my big mouth. The catfish came with onion, lettuce, tomato, and some kind of sauce on a toasted sub roll. It came with a knife. I cut off the first bite. It was .......... GREAT! Wow! I have always gotten BBQ or fish tacos before. Fantastic blending of flavors. It came with a choice of a side and I chose fries. The fries were barely alive. Good flavor but partially limp. That was the only negative. I wish I lived closer to Farmville. I would make them regular visits during the week. They keep teasing us about expanding to Madison Heights but no action yet.

I had the fried catfish which was nice and crispy yet light breading. Nice portions of baked beans and mac & cheese. Baked beans were very good, with a sweet bacon flavor but I'm a mac & cheese guy and theirs is incredible. Smoked flavor that just is throughout the cheese. Highly recommend stopping in. I will be going back and trying some other items.

    Because it was the best part of the experience, I'll start with the service. This place is…read morewell-staffed (arguably overstaffed) and so service was quick and attentive. The entire staff was friendly, professional, and customer forward. The ambiance was great - lighthearted but professional. The dining area was very clean and the room was warm and well lit with natural light which made the space feel even cleaner and more inviting. The staff all had matching shirts (it was cinco de mayo so it's possible it was celebratory rather than the norm but it carried well either way) Now to the food. The food was enjoyable. It didn't wow me, but I definitely enjoyed my meal. The chips and salsa were on point. The flavor of the rice and beans were better than many others. The beef taco and enchilada were flavorful enough but had it not been for the salsa from the chips that I ended up adding, it would have been mediocre at best. But here's the thing... the value was not there. The food is overpriced. What you see in the photo was a $20 meal before tip - and his was the cheapest offering on their lunch menu. (The plate was $13 and the side of beans, $5) I had a water otherwise, I would've been closer to $25 for sure. So overall, a good experience. Good food, very good service, very clean and welcoming but the value was the biggest dent in the experience. I'm willing to go back and try other items onto the menu but I'm prepared now. Bring a little extra dinero.
