Restaurant Miriam

Veracruz


Friendly Miriam and her extended family serve up delicious seafood dishes to order, in what is essentially an extension of their living room. Be warned, when she offers you her picantísimo (spiciest) dish, she's not kidding!

It's only a few steps from the beach where you'll find several other simple places for refreshments.
