Mietta's Review
Authentic Mexican food is something to behold; subtle flavours and fresh produce come together to create a taste sensation. Vera Cruz offers great food, Mexican beer and margaritas served in warm, happy surrounds.

Other published opinions

Sydney Eats 2009 "Neon pink crosses? The place is named after a Mexican state and vera cruz means "one true cross", so it all makes sense"

Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2008 Score: 13/20

Sydney Eats 2008 "In a restaurant named after the Mexican town named after the true cross, what else would you expect but neon pink crosses? Though it looks like the set for a futuristic spaghetti western, Vera Cruz is pretty close to the real deal in a cuisine few have got right in Australia"

Sydney Eats 2006 "The name means true cross and this popular local cantina, candlelit for an intimate rosy ambience, is stylish from start to finish. Relax at the bar with a margarita before being seated, or sample the excellent range of Mexican beers and tequilas."

SBS Eating Guide to Sydney 2005 " 'This is gourmet Mexican,' says our musician friend Victor Valdes, who is in fact from the town of Veracruz on Mexico's south-eastern coast. Just as Victor would stress the fact that Mexican cuisine offers incredible variety, Annette Zubani, who owns this designer-stylish all-white eatery, takes great pains to ensure her kitchen replicates authentic Mexican dishes that reflect a number of regional styles."

Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2005 Score 14/20

Sydney Eats 2005 "Soft pink lights and the flicker of candles create an intimate ambience - not your standard Mexican joint. This cantina continues to surprise with an innovative mix of real Mexican flavours"

Sydney Morning Herald GFG 2004,Score 14/20

Gourmet Traveller Restaurant Guide Australia 2004, Good vegatarian options 2004,'a lot of fun, particulary later in the week when boisterous groups settle in over rounds of margaritas and good regional Mexican food...The service is good-humoured and attentive.'
