La Terraza

Been here a few times now and the food quality and flavor has been consistenly amazing. Highly recommended!

Very good Mexican food. I loved the tortilla soup.

Just moved to the area and wanted to try diff mexican restaurants, we are stuck on this great place! In the past, we used to drive to go to playa bonita restaurant (next door) but now we wont go back, this beautiful little restaurant beats it by far!!!!! The food tastes great and their service is great too! Ive tried their torta ahogada YUM, tacos de barbacoa, barbacoa, enchiladas, tacos, bacon wrapped shrimp and i have yet to be disappointed. We are working our way thru the menu altho i keep ordering the torta ahogada, its amazing. When you go, try their Jamaica and champurrado too

Excellent service. The most kind and considerate waitress I've ever had. The food was amazing. I would highly recommend to anyone!

Throuout time many have searched for the fabled mexican restaurant that is said to exist as as a hole in the wall. Well Washingtonions, look no further for it is La Terraza. Pulling up to this place can be a little underwhelming, but I assure you it is just humble fassad. Upon entering this quaint place, you are greeted by Latin music, smiling waitresses, and happy guests enjoying their meals. At least that was my experience. After finding a table, Yari the waitress came over and was a delight to talk too and she brought us chips and salsa. She recommended their special which consisted of a clay pot filled with steak, chicken, shrimp, cactus, avocado, beans, fresh cheese, and covered with a savory cooked red salsa. It also came with Mexican rice, salad, and warm tortillas. She made it sound so good that we ordered two plates and a bowl of Posole, because in order to judge a Mexican restaurant, you can't just base it on their tacos, but on their more complicated dishes. Yari brought our table their three homemade salsas, and they were all fantastic. They ranged from tangy and mild, to holy moly my mouth is on fire, at least according to my wife. When our food came out, the plates were hot and well portioned. We easily felt like we were getting our money's worth, but it wasn't until we tried our food that we knew we had scored. Though the daily special truly tasted fantastic, tasting the Posole took me back to my teen years when I spent a month traveling through Mexico. The food tasted not only well seasoned, but it felt like it was cooked with love. I had once said that Washington didn't have any good Mexican restaurants, but I can now happily retract that statement. If you are in the area, this place is definitely a place you should visit.
