Excellent Spanish style food restaurant! Visited much more by knowledgeable locals than by tourists! All dishes well prepared with generous portions. The Tuero Molina restaurant (original) has better cuisine than Puerto Akelare (branch). Recommended fish soup, garlic soup, chistorra, breaded shrimp, beef stew, fish fillet and loin in all its presentations, fabada, etc., all delicious! The waiters are all very friendly! It does not have parking Your plus? The bus is free! Congratulations!!!

Delicious!!! One of the best restaurants in Veracruz! The Galician-style octopus, the Veracruz-style tongue or with onion sauce are delicious!!! One of my favorites is garlic soup and Galician-style octopus. They never lose their seasoning, they are EXCELLENT, without a doubt one of my 10 favorite restaurants. The best paella I have ever eaten.

The grilled sea bass is a delight; I highly recommend it, as is the clericot. The presentation of the dishes is superb, the vegetables exquisite, and the prices are worth it. We even ordered two ;). It's the best cooked sea bass in the region.

Excellent option to enjoy true dishes of Spanish cuisine, prepared with top quality ingredients and under original recipes, without any pretension. I have eaten here for 25 years when I am in the beautiful port. This time I tasted a stew soup...one of the BEST soups I have ever eaten in my life! The tenderloin in green sauce...unmissable, a delight that should be eaten with a spoon! I recommend turning up the air conditioning, it's hot!!!

The best Spanish food in Veracruz, I mainly recommend the Galician-style octopus, the enchipotlada meatballs, the paella, chistorra, black rice and the flan, everything is truly delicious. The atmosphere is very for gentlemen and they allow smoking. The prices are high but it is well worth it because the food is delicious!!

They have the best paella in Veracruz, it only takes 40 minutes to serve them, so it is better to reserve so that they have it ready for when you arrive

The Galician-style octopus is very delicious, a restaurant with a history of more than 57 years, you can go to enjoy a Spanish league match on Saturday. Highly recommended
