The fine folks from Perry’s Steakhouse have presented us a chance to feast on flavors from south of the border. If you are yearning for those rich and robust traditional tastes from our neighbors, then Verdad is the restaurant to try. Every dish and drink on the menu has been mastered to make your mouth water and your mind melt. Travel just up the road to transport your taste buds all the way to Mexico.

Verdad means truth in Spanish and fittingly, they call their cuisine True Modern Mexican. This certainly punctuates the purpose that drives this team; cultivating a deeper understanding of Mexico and its people through sharing good food and the traditions that create it. When you eat here, you aren’t just satisfying your stomach but also enriching your human experience. At Verdad, you have a chance to dive deep into Mexican heritage in an elevated and energetic environment. Let the Verdad chefs escort you on an edible escapade over mountains of meat and through rivers of mole.

Standing out from the menu signatures is the Pork Spare Rib Barbacoa. You get a full rack of slow smoked ribs with a flavor packed four chile rub for $35. This is enough for the table to share and will absolutely ~smoke your expectations. We dare to say these are some of the best pork ribs in town and they will have you returning to dine at Verdad again and again. Save room to savor some of the other menu hits. Make sure not to miss the Mole Tasting as it features three unique and unbelievably succulent versions of traditional mole sauce, served with fresh house made masa chips. Take advantage of the Texas Akaushi Wagyu Hot Rock and sear up some slabs to smother with chimichurri and charred salsa. Try something new and special here like the Cedar Plank Roasted Hamachi with parsley pesto or the Chargrilled Octopus with guajillo glaze. If you have a group that is looking to enjoy some of everything, get the Fiesta Board. This party on a platter comes with steak, chicken, lobster, scallops, pork ribs, shrimp, sides, dips, salsas, mole, and their terrific tortillas. Trust in Verdad that anything you order will be created with care and sure to please the palate.

Accompanying the fabulous food is their equally delicious drink menu. Get the full experience with the tequila and mezcal tastings. There are many flight options featuring high quality pours from only $29-$89 per person. Check out their pairing recommendations on the menu to get a flight that fits your food. Mexican food calls for margaritas and they have 10 different flavors including hibiscus, tamarind ginger, and passion fruit. You’ll also find some creative cocktails here that are must-tries like the Horchata Tea Party and the Avo-Colada. Let the bartenders here make you a beverage that will light up your senses just like the food.

Visit Verdad next time you are in the mood for Mexican cuisine. They are well worth the stop and will take you on a well guided trip through culture and tradition from the moment you walk in the door. Do NOT forget one of their to-die-for desserts like the Verdad Burnt Milk Candy and the Seis Leches Cake. The sweetest way to sum up what is always a superior supper. Es Verdad. 

See y’all there.
