  Nostalgia may have my opinion a little slanted.  When I was a kid we used to always go to Moab at least once a year.  Just about every time we would stop at Ben's Cafe on the way there.  Ben's Cafe served Mexican food, and eventually closed down.  La Veracruzana is in the same space, has left some of the old Ben's Cafe signs up, and is a trip down memory lane for anyone that visited Ben's Cafe years ago.
  
  For food I went with a beef taco and beef enchiladas.  It was around $12 and came with a huge serving of delicious rice and beans.  We also got some chips and salsa to split, and I had a horchata.  
  
  Our food came out after around 15-20 minutes, and overall it was pretty good.  My wife wasn't a huge fan of the chicken plate she got, so I'd recommend staying with the beef if you can't decide.  I also wish they had a little more variety in hot sauce than just the Tapatio I saw on our table, or maybe an option to spice up your plate.  
  
  Overall I was happy with the experience, but I recognize that a large part of that was because of my Ben's Cafe nostalgia.  I'd be happy to stop by here and try some other items in the future.
  
  Also, I play a lot of disc golf and there were 3 discs used for decoration here, so that got me excited.

  How is it possible that I ordered two tamales à la carte that cost $ 2.75 each and I did not ask for anything else, no drink or anything. The total of my account was $ 5.50 and with the tax they charged me $ 8.09 ???? Are $ 2.59 of taxes ??? What is almost 50% of taxes? It is a ROBO, the food is good but they are stealing, I asked for my receipt and they only gave me a receipt with the total. It is not the amount of money but the ill-intentioned action. THEY ARE SOME THIEVES AND I DO NOT RECOMMEND EATING THERE..
  
  cómo es posible que pedi dos tamales a la carta que cuestan $2.75 cada uno y no pedi nada más. El total de mi cuenta era $5.50 y con el impuesto me cobraron $8.09 ???? son $2.59 de impuestos??? psea que es casi el 50% de impuestos?? es un ROBO, la comida es buena pero están robando, pedí mi recibo y solo me entregaron un recibo con el total. No es la cantidad de dinero sino la acción mal intencionada. SON UNOS LADRONES Y NO RECOMIENDO COMER AHI.

  La Veracruzana serves traditional Mexican food with no frills. I had a chicken taco salad. The ingredients were fresh. They gave me lime to squeeze on the top in addition to dressing. I would come back.

  This place is a gold mine masquerading as a hole in the wall, portions are insane, and food is really flavorful. Right off the main strip in green river
