About the Place
Cafe Veracruz 1, nestled at 24 W Post Rd in White Plains, NY, is a hidden gem for lovers of authentic Mexican cuisine. This vibrant eatery operates 24 hours a day, making it a reliable spot whether you're craving a late-night meal or an early bite. The moment you step inside, the warm and welcoming staff set a relaxed tone, inviting you to enjoy a genuine taste of Mexico.
The menu at Cafe Veracruz 1 boasts a variety of standout dishes that keep customers coming back. Their green enchiladas and arroz chaufa are fan favorites—delicious enough to be the highlight of celebratory gatherings. The cemitas, also known as tortas, come packed with fresh, high-quality ingredients that burst with flavor. For those seeking a spicy kick, the tortas de pork adobado offer a fiery delight, perfectly balanced with the bread's softness.
I found the tacos de carnitas to be generous in portion and rich in authentic flavor. Paired with a refreshing glass of horchata, the experience becomes even more satisfying. What adds to the charm is the casual atmosphere where you can watch skillful chefs prepare your meal right behind the counter—flames dancing as fajitas are expertly cooked.
The convenience of parking right outside, alongside the friendly ambiance and reasonable prices, makes dining here an easy decision. While the restaurant can get warm inside due to the lack of air conditioning, the quality of the food and the attentive service more than make up for it.
Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or planning a family celebration, Cafe Veracruz 1 delivers bold, authentic Mexican flavors that leave a lasting impression. It's a place where the food speaks loudest and the hospitality makes you feel at home.
“ Good experience, the food is excellent but the restaurant was really hot and no ac, but otherwise is fun to go there. ”
“ We've eaten here a couple times and the food is tasty. Out favorites are the green enchiladas and arroz chaufa. We love it so much we ordered it for our son's 1st birthday celebration to feed over 20 people. As expected the food was a success! Many asked me who made the rice and received high ratings from Peruvian natives. Minus a star because I place the order to pick up at 11:30am and it was just being prepared when I arrived. ”
“ I work a lot in the area and this is by far one of my favorite places to eat. The staff is friendly and the food is awesome. Open literally all the time and has reasonable prices. Highly recommend the tortas. Spicy pork is my favorite. Not a lot of English speaking but I’ve never had a problem ordering exactly what I want ”
“ High quality Mexican Food! This place is open 24 hours a day serving incredible meals! Their Cemitas AKA Tortas come highly recommended, packed with delicious fresh ingredients. ”
“ I highly recommend their tacos de carnitas. Our dish came with 3 tacos and was absolutely delicious (good sized portions). We also ordered horchata and it was yummy. When we initially arrived our waitress served us chips and salsa on the house. Parking here is also great! There is parking in front of the restaurant and to the side. ”
