Restaurants near Castle of San Juan De Ulua

First time at Madison Grill. Food and drinks were fantastic - 5 star! Waiters went out of their way to get my Old Fashion from adjoining bar! Well done. Steaks, peppers, sides, salsas - fantastic! So loud! Crowd noise plus music turned up too loud makes for a very unpleasant experience when you can’t hear the person right next to you. Price/value was great. We needed to get a taxi back to hotel and hostesses were unwilling to call a taxi for us. Despite the items that prevented me from marking at overall 5, I would return on a slower night and sit away from the speakers!!

This is an absolutely lovely restaurant with innovative food and charming, friendly service. The soft shelled crab tostada with ancho chili mayo and tamarind was a standout. Highly recommend!

Our experience at Mardel was outstanding! The food was fresh and very high level! The drinks were very good as well. They carry a large wine selection and artesian local beers that were great! The service was great as well. Ulysses was very attentive and provided detailed information on the entire experience. I was very impressed with the sourcing and process of the fish. They also have a ranch where they source their land meats (pork, lamb, beef, etc). I highly recommend Mardel! It made our Veracruz experience very memorable!! Thank you Mardel team!

Cesar, our waitress did an splendid work. I can’t remember any other moment where the waitress was well trained, knowledgeable of the dishes and recommended in such an excellent way.
