El Veracruzano stands out as a vibrant Mexican restaurant nestled in Cardenas, Tabasco. With a reputation for serving exquisite local dishes, it's a must-visit for anyone traveling to or from Villahermosa. Many patrons, like José Emilio Vel Sim, praise it as an excellent dining option, especially before hitting the road.

The standout dish here is undoubtedly the cecina, a sun-dried meat known for its savory flavor. Adrian Nava hails the cecina with enchiladas as the best in the region, making it a culinary experience you shouldn't miss. Diners also rave about the overall taste and quality of the food. However, some have noted that the busy atmosphere can lead to service delays, as mentioned by Gustavo Gil Ordaz.

According to LA Cornejo, this restaurant is a celebrated gem in the area, inviting you to indulge in the rich flavors of Veracruz. All in all, El Veracruzano delivers an authentic taste of Mexican cuisine, making it an essential stop for food enthusiasts.

It's an excellent option for dining before you arrive in Villahermosa or upon your departure.

The place is very nice, the food is very tasty, the detail with the staff is that they don't serve you as you expect, but that is because the place gets very crowded and they can't keep up with it, but they don't leave you there as if you weren't there, from there on out, everything else is great.

Nice restaurant that is famous for his sesina, which it is meat that is put to dry under the sun and it gets salty to cure it. That is the main dish but there other options from seafood to chicken. A must try if you are in the area.

If you are looking for a place to delight your palate with delicious food, you cannot miss this restaurant. With a variety of mouth-watering dishes, you will definitely find something you love. Personally, my favorite is the cured meat, simply irresistible! However, a suggestion would be for the restaurant to consider having someone dedicated exclusively to collecting, since sometimes the waiting time to pay can be a little long, as long as the wait for the dishes. Despite this small inconvenience, the quality of the food makes the wait worth it. In short, if you are looking for a place to enjoy a delicious meal, this restaurant is an excellent option. Just make sure you have a little patience when checking out, but I assure you the food will make up for it!
