Introduction to Veracruz Cuisine
Veracruz, a coastal region of Mexico, is famous for its vibrant, seafood-rich dishes, Spanish and Indigenous influences, and bold flavors. Unlike other Mexican cuisines, Veracruz-style cooking embraces fresh herbs, tomatoes, olives, and citrus flavors, creating a unique fusion of tastes.
