I’ve spent about five months (of the past 20) between Orizaba and Boca del Rio, with the two largest problems being inept road construction and flash floods.

The areas outside the port itself have reported problems, Xalapa, the areas closer to the Tamaulipas border, probably. But law enforcement seems to be a problem in the state — I know someone who had a false complaint complete with forged signatures and documents submitted and accepted in Veracruz that were rejected by CdMx authorities as revenge for a relationship breakup.
I’d consult with locals for local and updated knowledge in any case, because these issues are so dynamic.
