"A Mexican restaurant from the Veracruz team featured on the Bib Gourmand list." - H. Drew Blackburn
"With a large and colorful dining area and patio, this Bib Gourmand spot offers the perfect setting for a family meal, where guests of all ages can enjoy vibrant visuals from both the decor and the chef's delicious food. The menu spotlights what they’re known for—tacos—then adds in antojitos and a few larger plates, all centered on excellent house-made blue corn tortillas. Those tortillas are especially delicious folded around queso fresco and crispy epazote, or in a cochinita taco filled with tender braised pork, fried plantain, and red onion habanero lime escabeche. For a sweet finish, conchas are a perfect treat, offered in pecan and lime versions as well as the more typical chocolate and vanilla, making this an appealing, colorful, and kid-friendly place to eat." - Michael He
"Mueller’s sit-down version of the beloved Veracruz brand offers one standout sweet: the tres leches cake. Rich, moist, and made from a family recipe by chefs Reyna and Maritza Vazquez, the dessert stands on its own. Don’t count on finding this at Veracruz’s other locations — this locale is the only one serving this sought-after cake. Enjoy your slice in this colorful, lively space that balances casual comfort with thoughtful design." - Darcie Duttweiler
"Austinites are familiar with the exceptional taco skills of sisters Reyna and Maritza Vazquez behind Veracruz All Natural, but it’s through their standalone Mueller Mexican restaurant that they get to showcase the full breadth of their culinary expertise. The table-service spot’s menu is focused on Veracruz, the namesake region of Mexico, where the owners are from, and features dishes like picadas (essentially open-face tacos) and deep-fried whole fish. Takeout orders can be placed online." - Nadia Chaudhury
"New York has pizza and California can have burritos—Austin has breakfast tacos. There’s no better place to get them than at Veracruz. This mini-empire has trailers and restaurants all across town, but we love the all-day location in the Mueller neighborhood, where in addition to breakfast tacos, you can order off a large menu of dishes inspired by the Mexican state it’s named after. Grab a couple of migas originales to start, paired with a Veracruz-style cafe lechero. Show up on a Sunday morning and you’ll be in the perfect position to head to the Mueller farmers market after." - nicolai mccrary
