Villa Rica brings Veracruz-style seafood to Polanco, part of a small chain with roots along the Gulf Coast. The menu leans into Gulf classics — ceviche, grilled octopus with garlic (pulpo al ajillo), soft-shell crab tacos (tacos de jaiba), and zarandeado-style fish — all emphasizing fresh product over fuss.
The space is casual and accepts dogs both inside and out, making it easy for a long lunch with friends or weekend brunch (Saturday and Sunday). Service tends to be warm and informed, with servers who know the menu and the regional background behind the dishes.
