"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
"If the name Veracruz sounds familiar, that’s probably because it’s become synonymous with migas and some of the best breakfast tacos in Austin. That same team has a buzzy all-day spot in Mueller, where you can still get breakfast tacos if you want, or you can order off a large menu of dishes inspired by the Mexican state it’s named after, all set in a large dining room with a beautiful patio. There’s also a full bar here, so you can grab a frozen margarita to really round out the views of Mueller Lake at sunset." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"Described as the place where the team has been "honing in on higher-end regional food," signaling a move toward elevated, regionally specific Mexican cuisine within their program." - Nadia Chaudhury
