Customer Reviews
I went for lunch with a friend and wish I took more pictures. Then came back for breakfast with my kids and the service both times was excellent. The food tasted great and I would prefer LA Terraza over many of the Mexican grill places in our area. The guacamole made table side is a great touch. They listen to any mods and love how diverse the menu is. The breakfast is great for all families. The funky monkey was a bit too oily for us but still had great flavor. The cannoli waffle could use more topping. Otherwise, great food and great service. It is a must try for lunch/dinner and breakfast!
I enjoyed my homemade salsa and chips, then enchiladas suizas. The shredded chicken tinga stuffing my corn tortillas was gently spiced with chilies in adobo and Mexican cinnamon, and topped with homemade salsa verde (tomatillos) and a generous griddled queso blanco. Refried beans were very good. Another guy's review who claimed that the food 'shouldn't taste like cinnamon' has clearly never been to Mexico, as cinnamon/ canela is a spice that adds depth and gentle warmth to moles and braised meat dishes- like the filling in my enchiladas. I'm very grumpy because we got home and I realized that I left my leftovers takeaway box on the table, too far to drive back before closing. 😭 Husband ate his entire burrito. Now we will have to come back sooner. Service by the young staff was fast and fri
We had been curious to visit La Terraza since they opened, so before we went to Rich Farm up the street, we decided to check them out for dinner. The staff was kind, and there was plenty of seating on the main level, upstairs, and outside. One of the first things we were surprised to see was that they had only non-alcoholic options. We asked, and they said they’re still trying to get their liquor license and that they’re BYOB. I understand, but definitely a little bit of a draw back and unexpected from a Mexican restaurant. The menu had a lot of options, including breakfast which I’ll have to keep in mind, and the food came out quickly. The guacamole was prepared table-side, and though nothing was bad, it just didn’t beat our favorite in our hometown. I didn’t find it to be super authentic
My husband and I decided to go for Mexican this evening and we happen to be in the Oxford area. We decided on this place because the outside looked appealing. When we entered, the decor was really pretty and festive. It definitely gave the vibes I believe it was going for. The music was also great. The service was also great. It got pretty busy however, our waitress was still very attentive. The reason I gave it three stars is because my husband and I agreed that the food was just OK. Most of it lacked flavor. The al pastor taco for example was not the best. It tasted like they just added the pineapples on top and did a quick mix. It wasn't really a combination of the meat and the pineapple an al Paso taco usually gives. I was not a fan of the corn tortillas at all as well. The churro was
👏🏼 The tacos, wings & dessert we ordered there to go was delicious, we’ll be back to dine in soon! 🙏🏼
