Contemporary Veracruz cuisine with blue corn enchiladas & seafood
"Here, one can eat dishes from Veracruz, Mexico. Notable options include the blue corn enchiladas with all the expected fillings (including a vegetarian option) and a Xalapa-style chile relleno stuffed with diner’s choice of shredded chicken or picadillo ground beef, and queso fundido, pecans, and raisins. Of course, the menu is loaded with seafood options, from fish tacos to Sopa de Atlahua, a bouillabaisse with fish, shrimp, scallops, and vegetables. From the cocktail list, try the Horchata Jarocha, which combines horchata with a vanilla cinnamon-infused rum." - Courtney E. Smith
"After catching an old horror film at the Texas Theatre, meander over to Veracruz Cafe just a few blocks away. The menu is a mix of Aztec, Mayan, Mesoamerican, and Huasteco cuisine—both the Xalapa-style chile relleno and the blue corn enchiladas are solid bets, especially when paired with the cactus salad and a spicy piña cocktail. In addition to the Bishop Arts spot, they have locations in Cedar Hill and Midlothian." - lee escobedo, gabe bergado, emily smith

"In the American adaptation of Queen of the South that aired on USA, Bishop Arts’ Veracruz Cafe serves as a meeting spot for some of the kingpins and queen-pins in the trade game. But on any other day, it is a quaint, Mexican eatery offering a fine assortment of Latin cuisine." - Alex Gonzalez
