We drove by several times and saw how crowded it was and always said we would stop. We finally made our way this past Thursday and had and exceptional experience. The food was reasonably price and tasted delicious. We had family in town and they raved about the food as well. Kids ate their meals and enjoyed. The wait staff was prompt and helpful. We order guacamole live and it did not disappoint. It was a great price and a large serving for 3 adults and two kids. The guacamole was also made fresh at our table and delightful. All portions were fairly priced and tasted great. If I was not pregnant, I would have loved to try their margaritas. It was rainy so a lot of guests want to sit inside and inside seating is limited but the patio is covered and beautiful too.

Authentic food, great salsa, and big drinks.Don't let the looks deceive you; the food here is incredibly tasty and authentic. The salsa is very fresh, and the chips are thin and crispy. The verde enchiladas wrap juicy chicken in corn tortillas and delicious salsa, making them simply superior. The dining atmosphere is "rustic," but the covered outside patio is pretty nice when the weather is good. Highly recommend this place!

I have had dinner at La Terrazita Two times and both of them were phenomenal dinners I would have to say of all the Mexican restaurants I’ve eaten in my life. It’s in the top 5% of the best food when it comes to freshness.Their menu is very extensive and the service is impeccable. It’s not a large restaurant, but they do have a lot of outside seating which is very nice.

La Terrazita is our go-to place for the best Mexican food around. Although we've been making our way through the menu, you can't go wrong with the burritos and enchiladas. Start off with the fresh guacamole service, made at your table (only during certain hours of dinner) and then make sure you pair it with any number of fresh drinks. They usually have a daily special or you can get a variety of great margaritas and fresh fruit-based drinks. The chips and salsa are always great - they have a hot salsa available too which has a bit of a kick.The service is great - every single employee we've interacted with is super friendly and the managers always come over to check on things and to see how we are doing.Outdoor seating is available in the courtyard out front, or you can sit inside at booths or tables. There's also a bar and televisions if you need to watch TV while you eat. Music selection is fun and upbeat.Great place - we're there all the time now!

Went here for the first time. Food was delicious and came out quickly. Waiters were friendly . The only suggestion I have is to turn down the music that plays in the sitting area outside. I had thesteak fajita quesadilla .

The food is so good I had to stop and write a review! One of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve had in NC! I ordered the burrito Azteca and it was loaded with seasoned chicken shrimp and steak and my partner ordered the chipotle chicken burrito which was amazing. Everything was extremely flavorful including the rice and beans. The sangria was homemade and had the perfect amount of sweetness but was still strong enough to get you right. The staff was very attentive and friendly, I will definitely be back!

We never think about this place even though it’s less than 10 minutes from us. We stopped in for dinner on Friday, it was pretty busy when we arrived but we got a table right away. The service was good, ordered a couple drinks and our food. The michelada was so good! The sangria was also pretty good, not too sweet. the carnitas were good as well. Overall it was a nice place for dinner and we will go back. The service was great, they were very attentive.,
