Editorial Review for La Terraza – by Mindy Merrell
In Short
Inside the somewhat depressing strip mall is a colorful atmosphere where roosters peck or a skinny cat slinks around the noisy room. At the next table, an extended Mexican family engages in debate or construction workers slurp oysters next to tony Brentwood couples sharing fajitas for two. A lively mariachi band keep this place humming. Order a margarita and enjoy hot salsa and chips while plowing through the expansive menu. Plates are generous and lavishly garnished with lettuce, pico de gallo and chunky guacamole.

My husband and I have visited La Terraza several times in the past and have not (knowingly) run into any issues, until this past Sunday. I was 2/3 of the way through my chicken chimichanga when I noticed something dark in the bite I was about to have. My first thought was that it was a burnt caramelized onion. I flipped it over and discovered that my 'caramelized onion' had LOTS OF LEGS!!!!!!! A R**CH (your nasty household pest, for some reason Citysearch won't let me say the word r**ch. it is pronounced 'rowch' as in 'row your boat') was dead in my chimichanga. And this was not just a leg, or a wing, a fly or hair. I would have been a little grossed out over a hair, but comon, most people wash their hair, BUT A COMPLETE R**CH? I was completely disgusted and thank goodness I don't have a weak stomach because it was certainly a site to see. After quickly speaking to the waitress she informed me that they had fumagated the night before. Now I know two things: this place has r**ches and they're careless enough with their food and cleanliness to let a r**ch leave the kitchen in a dish. If the r**ch had been on the plate in the kitchen and removed by the cook, then fine, whatever, I didn't see it. But to let that disgusting thing in its entirety leave the kitchen and be served to a paying customer????? Just disgusting and SUPER careless. The manager never came to speak to me since I guess they were completely humiliated, but the waitress did ask if there was anything else they could do. Unfortunately, there was not since I don't ever see myself visiting this establishment again. I know a lot of kitchens have insects, etc, but that's crossing the line when you let those insects catch a ride on a chimichanga. BEWARE, CARELESS COOKS!!!
Cons: insects in your meal

I thought the food was very good, the frozen margaritas were delicious and our customer service was wonderful. The staff was very friendly and did not make us feel rushed at all (we had a late dinner). Will definitely go back again and recommend to a friend!
Pros: price, good service, good food, good margaritas
Cons: small
