"For fine Mexican dining or a special occasion, head to La Terraza, which serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. La Terraza is known for its seafood, like tostadas topped with ceviche or shrimp, and its molcajete de mariscos filled with a mix of octopus, shellfish, and cucumber, all in a chile-lime marinade. The West Vernor Highway establishment is also popular for its birria as well as a full bar, and a stage that regularly hosts regional Mexican musical performances." - Serena Maria Daniels
"La Terraza offers a variety of options typical of any other Mexican restaurant: tacos, botana, and hearty caldos. What really shines on the menu, though, is the seafood. Diners can try tostadas topped with ceviche or shrimp, sharable molcajete de mariscos filled with a mix of octopus, shellfish, and cucumber, in a chile-lime marinade, or a variety of cocktails with a choice of shrimp, octopus, or mixed. The West Vernor Highway establishment is also popular for its bar featuring colossal micholadas garnished with shrimp, as well as a stage that regularly hosts regional Mexican musical performances. — Danny Palumbo" - Serena Maria Daniels
"A restaurant supporting the 'Day Without Immigrants' protest." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Seafood lovers and music aficionados know La Terraza for its sturdy tostadas topped with ceviche, shrimp-filled tacos gobernadores, and regional Mexican music performances. The drinks here are impressive as well. Look for options like Jalisco-style vampiros — made with tequila, orange juice, lime, salt, and Squirt — and tomato-based sangritas using frozen mangonadas spiked with tequila and garnished with tamarindo straws. Buckets of Coronitas are on hand here as well." - Serena Maria Daniels
