"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
