We had a wonderful visit here. The food is Peruvian so it’s a little unique to order. We had 6 in our party and we ordered 5 different dishes and everyone agreed they would come back again! You can’t offer a stronger compliment than that. The paella is way good. Everything was high quality. Service was spot on and an extensive wine list with a full cocktail bar.

First time visiting this restaurant. We went for lunch and I had a beautiful salad with a piece of salmon that was perfectly cooked. The taste of the salad dressing was wonderful. It came with the soup of the day which was chicken and vegetable soup. This was not an afterthought, the soup was tasty and wonderful. Doug was our waiter and he had a great sense of humor and we had a great time. On top of that the price for a lunch salad with salmon and soup was $21. I can’t go to any restaurant of this caliber for that price. I was very impressed and would like to come back for dinner and sample some more of the menu.

I can't say enough good about this restaurant. From the outside looks small but very deep so it accommodates quite a few people. Friends took me to celebrate my BD and it was an outstanding evening. Our waitress was Devon. She was outstanding. We couldn't have asked for better service. The food was every bit as good as I'd heard. The avocado crabmeat appetizer was over the top. And the calamari was cooked perfectly 👌. My main vmcoutse was the Ribeye cooked in an amazing sauce with vegetables. WOW doesn't even come close to doing it justice. And the double Choc cake was superb. I can't thank Terra Sur Cafe enough for making my BD extra special. Outstanding food and service. I highly recommend this jewel‼️‼️

Excellent food, the apps and mains were great. I ordered the Antichuchos De Carne (12oz Grilled beef skirt skewers) and they were cooked perfectly.

I’ve been coming to Terra Sur for years now. Every time I come; they’re always ‘out’ of multiple menu items. The food is decent, nothing special about it. The only thing that I respect about this restaurant is the interior decoration. It is quite elegant. However, they have strayed away from their Peruvian roots. No Peruvian wine at a Peruvian restaurant; what a shame…

I stopped into Terra Sur Café with a friend, and what a wonderful surprise it turned out to be! I'm already excited to go back next time I'm in the area. We started with the ceviche sampler, which was fresh and delicious. We requested no spice, and they thoughtfully let us know in advance that one of the samplers still had a little kick to it--which it did--but it was still fantastic. We also shared the ribeye with pesto, and wow... absolutely delish on both accounts! The ambiance is great too. The outdoor patio is dog-friendly, which is a huge plus, and the inside dining room has a cute, cozy feel with white tablecloths that make it feel just a little special. For dessert, we tried the bread pudding. It was a different take than the traditional version, but it tasted great--especially with the vanilla ice cream melting over the top. Overall, an unexpected gem. Highly recommend!

Things seem to have changed here and not for the better which is very sad as this has long been a favorite go-to of ours. Handwriting has been on the wall for some time. It is the little things I have noticed specifically including how many if not most of the wine racks are now empty including the beautiful wine room. And there seem to be too many new untrained servers - last night had to show ours how to open a bottle of wine and remind him that I needed a spoon to stir sugar in an espresso. What I paid corkage for, I have no idea and would have purchased something had things been better. Last night was also a major milestone night for us which I noted when we made the reservation. Not brought up on any way other than assigning us a brand new server. As for the food, the paella was OK, smaller than usual and the steak anticuchos de carne (steak on skewers with chimichurris sauce on the side) was not pleasing - actually very tough. I would love to see them regain the magic that brought us back so many times. However for now, this is no longer on our list of favorites to take friends and celebrate special occasions. :(

I came here with a few friends. Everyone loved what they ordered. We shared appetizers: Ceviche Mixto, Ceviche de Mango y Palta (w/mango & avocado) and Tequenos & Yuquitas (deep fried mozzarella cheese in wonton wrapper & yucca stuffed w/ cheese). I had Tallarin Verde (spaghetti w/ pesto sauce) w/ Ribeye, which was incredibly delicious! My husband had Bistec a la Chorrillana, a 16oz grilled ribeye topped with a tomato base sauce, onions, tomatoes and garlic. Service was excellent. Ambience is nice. We will definitely be back. I wish this place was closer to our house!

Late dinner to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. They were able to get us a table right away without a reservation (whoops). The decor was upscale and we were glad we'd opted to get a sitter for our toddler. There was a loud drunk lady and even worse we were seated right next to one of my least favorite coworkers (what are the chances), but of course these aren't knocks against the restaurant. The lion's mane mushroom empanadas my wife got were excellent. Full of a earthy melted cheese and chunks of savory chewy mushroom, served with both a spicy pepper sauce and chimichurri. I went for another one of the specials, the street cart ceviche. Oh boy was this great. The raw red snapper was fresh, chilled, and brightly flavored with lemon juice and contrasted perfectly with the crispy, salty, hot calamari. I went back and forth between the two until I was stuffed, barely able to handle the creme brule cheesecake we split for dessert. A great meal that I quickly turned around and recommended to my friends. The best part? That coworker never even saw me.

We were serve a table without a reservation which was nice. The wait was not terrible. My wife enjoyed her drink I forgot the name of it. Sorry my old fashion was just ok. The waiter knew the menu very well very knowledgeable. Since it was like a date night situation we just had a few drinks and shared an appetizr empanada which was good it's different than your since most empanadas are either Caribbean. This is from Peru, so different texture different taste. They had a huge wine selection for those who enjoy drinking wine. I seem to cater to an older crowd with a more refined pallet for wine. We had Tostones with chicken. The flavor and seasoning was spot on. I enjoyed it wet. It's a bit soupy however that's exactly how I like to eat this type of dish. It is a bit pricier than intended, but the ambience is very nice very well intimate style.

Executive summary: pricey, but good. This place is in a strip mall. Almost all the good restaurants in Anchorage are in strip malls, so no hate from me! The cocktail menu is fun and splashy. They have lots of great-looking food. The prices are all just really high though, especially for Tampa. I got the Anticuchos de Carne, and it was incredible. Meat was cooked to my liking, the veggies were fresh, and the house made sauces were spicy! I'd recommend ordering from the restaurant next door though (same owners), the prices are much more reasonable.

I wish the Pisco sour quality matched the food. Went with a group and for the price points of everything , you would think they wouldn't take shortcuts and cheat out the customers on drink quality. Most nice peruvian restaraunts carry Barsol which is the best pisco in the world. Why is anauthentic "peruvian" spot not giving consumers the best peru has to offer? I wish they could look into changing this. I wont be back until Barsol is on the menu.

The location is nicely decorated inside and very clean. Food was tasty too! Only complaint was that the server didn't seem very confident or knowledgeable about the menu. When asked for recommendations she didn't really have one.

What a BAD experience- do not go to this place if you have any type of food allergy or restrictions and want to know what is in a dish... just attempted to go for a late lunch with grandparents, self and teenager. I have some extreme allergies but can usually find something that works IF the kitchen can answer easy questions. to make a long story short, the only menu item I could safely eat was sold out, and the server said, "I'll give you more time" and I said, "I have major restrictions though, I have some questions " and she repeated "just take your time, I'll be back" and started to walk away again .... There was only one other active table on the entire restauran, she was not in the weeds but it perhaps just eager to get back to smoking it in the walkin. The other three in our party quickly ordered and the server just started pointing to things, "this is good, here, you can eat this." Ummmm the child didn't even ASK what my allergies are. she talked over me and I finally said, "you know what? Just bring me a piece of bread and I'll eat that while they have lunch." She said, "ok! Sure!" Left the table, and very quickly came back and said, "oh by the way, I need to charge you for bread for your lunch. It's not just going to be free." Well, I don't care if I was charged for it, but the fact that she wouldn't engage and tell me if my allergies could be accommodated and instead had a dismissive attitude was the final straw. I went to the car and the other diners canceled their orders. Maybe the food would have been fantastic. I'll never know. And whoever the 21 year old (she told us her age...?) blonde server was? When I told you today you were really bad at your job - I absolutely meant it.

Great food, service, and decor. Highlights include papas de huancaino and talea. Best Peruvian I've had in the area. It is tucked away on the side but worth the visit.

We enjoyed a lovely birthday dinner for my partner at Terra Sur. While service felt a bit rushed, despite us being seated during a quiet hour, our server was able to answer most questions and made some nice recommendations. Out of all the dishes, we especially enjoyed the beef heart skewers with a trio of dipping sauces. Most of the food was under salted, although still bursting with flavor. Can't wait to try more items the next visit!

Everything put on the table was worth ordering again...and again! We started with cocktails and wine, the mushroom empanada special, ceviche sampler, and the Tequeños y Yuquitas. That first course was enough for a meal for 3 people, but we were celebrating so we then ordered the parihuela (seafood bouillabaisse), Risotto de Camarones, and Terra Sur salad to share. Another round of drinks...I was a fan of their house old fashioned but my friends enjoyed the selection of South American wines on hand. We ended our evening sharing the Bread Pudding bites with ice cream and a nice cup of coffee. Our only complaint was how close we were seated to others, but some strategic shifts would make the dining experience feel less community table and more comfortable. The wine room looked lovely and a private tasting was starting when we were wrapping up our evening. We will be back- we have more dishes to try- especially the paella and tostones con carne!

Nice dining room. Menu included all the core Peruvian items, including a ceviche sampler for the indecisive. Impressive assortment of liquors. Lomo Saltado was delicious, but calamari was a bit rubbery and ceviche was a bit bland. Most entre items were in the $30-40 range, which is a bit more pricey than most Peruvian nearby. Lunch menu offers many of the same times but much much cheaper.

I haven't been to this place in a year. Had to look it up since I recommended it to a friend. The food was good. I went during a slow time so there wasn't a lot of people there. I didn't have to wait long for the food and they were very attentive. Very cute spot and had an outdoor area to sit if you choose to do that

A place I used to frequent years ago, at least 20 years, has developed into a real gem. This review is limited to my most recent visit since it has changed so much. Located on the quiet side of a an old strip center on Erlich that once housed a Post Office, the center is seeing new growth and revitalization. Terra Sur is now double the size it was nearly 20 years ago. The decor is beautiful, cozy and romantic. The staff is friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. The meal was well presented and flavorful. An excellent Tempranillo paired perfectly and the Peruvian lager was tasty and refreshing. There is also outdoor seating and bar seating available which should attract a wide variety of patrons. I would be remiss if I did not mention the wonderful wine selection and the amazing collection of art on the walls. I actually have one of their paintings on my wall at home from a barter I made long ago. The Pulpo appetizer was very tasty, it had a generous portion and two side dipping sauces. One made from Kalamata olive, a brilliant idea and their house Chimichuri. The 4 star rating is due to the beef. My ribeye, while a nice size, was not quality beef, no marbling whatsoever. It was tough to cut and dry inside. The wonderful broth/sauce it was covered with was the saving grace. Made it mostly edible. I ate the outside cap which is fatty and tender but the rest is in my fridge and seems destined for the trash unless I slice it and add it to a jus, stir fry or gravy. They also use flap meat for their Churrasco, which to me is a wrong and shows bad form. Churrasco (skirt) is available in 2 cuts, inside and outside skirt. I find it bothersome when merchants call flap meat churrasco. It's a cheaper cut that should not be confused with skirt. However, when made properly, it can be extremely delicious. Just call it what it is. I definitely recommend this place, it is a delightful setting with many culinary treasures to be discovered. Just be aware of how beef is "featured" here and order accordingly. Come get ya' some.

If I could give them more stars I would! This place is a hidden gem! I've been living in citrus park for around 3 years and this was the first time a tried this restaurant, and everything was beyond wonderful, starting with the place, everything looks so clean and beautiful, that you really feel that they put an amazing effort to make this place look like this, it's beautiful! So I went with my boyfriend on a date here, and we were gladly surprised by Terra Sur Cafe, I started with an Espresso Martini that honestly took me back to life! It was so good that I had to take two! As an appetizer we took the Pulpo Al Olivo and the Causa Limeña with Chicken, both of them were so good! The Pulpo has an olive sauce on the side that was unbelievable! After that, we ordered our entrees, I pick the Lomo Saltado and my boyfriend took the Bisteck a Lo Pobre, their rice, their way to seasoned everything was incredible, I felt like I was in Peru for a minute! It was a top notch experience! Our waiter, David, was so nice, and very attentive! We are definitely coming back for sure!

I've been here a couple times. I will say it's good, but there's a price inflation when you think about this being typical Peruvian food. The flavor is there, the presentation is amazing, and their sangrias hot every time. Took my family there and huge fans of the lomo empanadas and the sangria. I'll definitely come back on a special occasion. Service was swift and attentive.

Definitely a date night favorite! Make sure to make reservations even though we've been lucky to find seats at the bar whenever we don't have one. They have a nice big bar and the service and staff is just as wonderful. I tried the blood orange margarita tonight and it was yummy!! The Paloma was a very tart. The lomito Al jugo is hands down the best thing in the menu.

Yelp
Not Worth the Hype Do not show up to this restaurant without a reservation--they will turn you away, no matter the day, even if the place looks half empty. It's honestly one of the most unnecessarily complicated dining experiences we've encountered. The service? Mediocre at best. The food? Just okay. For the price you pay, it's definitely not worth it. Not recommended.

I've had this bookmarked for a while, and so glad we finally went while friends were in town visiting. The restaurant itself is nice, welcoming, and even romantic. There is a small private wine room that I suppose parties could reserve. We were a party of 6 and got a booth, and I wish I could remember our server's name but he was great! Now the food. It was all amazing. Everything. Seriously, it was all so good, that this is easily one of those rare places where I need to try most--if not all--dishes they offer rather than stick to one "tried and true". The ceviche, amazing. Steak, amazing. Passion fruit pisco sour, yup...amazing. I can't wait to go back! This place won't disappoint.

I am a bit torn about Terra Sur. I've been several times. They do so many things good and several things less good, in my opinion. We initially went before their remodel. The decor was bold and vibrant, and it felt like we were in Peru. The walls were painted red with colorful art all over the place. I felt like I was on vacation. Since they've remodeled, it is much more sedate. The colors are browns and creams. The art is more modern and sophisticated, for sure. But somehow, it feels less like a trip to Peru and more like a trip to a Peruvian-inspired restaurant. It's not bad. It's just not as fun. We went for dinner again last night, which confirmed my opinion. They do a fantastic job with appetizers, cocktails, and desserts. Phenomenal! Their ceviche is perfectly balanced and cravable. And I do crave it, which is how we keep going back. We had the Crab Causa, very nice, and the grilled octopus, which was delicious! Our drinks were also excellent: delicious, creative, and well-mixed. Dessert was mango-passionfruit cheesecake and bread pudding, as recommended by our server. She was 100% right btw. The bread pudding was unbelievable: creamy, crunchie, and flavorful. Highly recommend! Get it if you have it on the menu when you go. Now for the less good: our mains. Whoever makes their apps and desserts is not the same person who makes the mains. The mains were heavy, oily, overly salted, and disappointing after the perfection of the starters and ceviche. Our server, Maria, was so sweet. She made countless recommendations to us and was right each time. Thank you for your insight, Maria! When next we go, and we will go again, I will choose a couple of starters and desserts and leave the mains alone.

Upscale experience in a non-upscale location! .........but worry not, the flavors and choices are unique and deliciously prepared. I especially like the ceviches which are available as spicy or mild as you prefer. On several visits service was timely, friendly and helpful. The wine list provides for good pairing with your dinner selections. We always go back---highly recommend! (reservations!)

Came here today for a work lunch meeting. We tried the calamari, ceviche sampler and Tequeños y Yuquitas as appetizers for the table. Calamari was nothing spectacular, ceviches two were really tasty unfortunetly don't know what type of fish or sauces it was and the I only tried the deep fried mozzarella in wonton skin it was different but good. For my entree, I ordered the lunch Beef saltados (same as lomo saltados and that was really tasty! Whatever the green and orange spicy sauce on the side was, I used to dip my meat in it and those were so favorable with a nice kick to it. I've never had Peruvian food before but I really enjoyed it and would go back to try some other menu items!

We have been here a handful of times and never once have had an experience short of excellent! The food is always so flavorful and great portion size. The service is always personable and friendly and we love the ambiance too. You can tell there are a lot of regulars as every time we are there we see servers and patrons hugging and catching up. Some of my favorite menu items are the tallarin verde with ribeye or the skewers with peppers and rice (I forget the Peruvian name!).

Girls night. Mushroom empanadas (2 in an order) were very tasty, better than expected. I make them at home, I loved them here. Peruvian traditional drink Pisco Sour was not as I expected, it was a lot smaller & next time I'll add a flavor. I am a vegetarian, there were not many options, salad,sides & empanadas. All in all, It was a lovely time. Parking was not generous & this was a Thursday evening after 6:30, plan accordingly.

Terra Sur Cafe - Peruvian cousin restaurant, is a great place for lunch, dinner, or celebrating something special. Very nice atmosphere. Mixed of casual and elegant. Very good service. All employees are dressed very professionally and neat. I love that. !!! Sitting area (specially after remodeling ) is elegant, so even any special event it can be organized here, for personal or business matters. Full bar, big selection of drinks. For wine lovers- so many to choose from!!! If you prefer beer- you find One too. Food menu is great for meat lovers or seafood lovers. Delicious desserts, if you have sweet tooth!!! Just make your next lunch stop or dinner plans at Terra Sur Cafe and check it by yourself.

Wonderful place with a very large selection of different Peruvian dishes. They also have a very nice wine menu. We had some grilled octopus, ceviche tasting platter, salad, potatoes, and paella. We finished with tiramisu. Place was super nice and super delicious. We absolutely loved it. Unfortunately they didn't have Peruvian lagers anymore when we were dining. Price was decent as well. The reason I am giving 4 stars and not 5 it's because of service. Our waiter wasn't really professional, after coming to ask what we want to drink? We said that we need a minute and he came back 30-40 min later. When he brought a beer, he spilled it and said "it's not that bad" instead of apologizing. We thought he was new, but he said he worked there for 4 years. We understand that things happen, he was busy, and errors happen, but his attitude wasn't nice at all. We were with a family and we're extremely happy to be at the place. When we asked for a check and he brought it it took very long for him to come pick it up, so we had to bring it ourselves. Agin, no apologies. At that time Restaurant was basically empty. Again, everything is 5 stars except the service.

Came here for dinner to enjoy some lomo saltado. Reason why we choose this restaurant over happy fish and drove the extra miles. Was because they use filet mignon in their lomo saltado. Husband doesn't like meat to be chewy and I find sirloin can be a bit dry and chewy but filet is buttery and soft no matter how it's cooked. They offer a nice happy hour with discounted wines/ beers. Service was quick and enjoyable. All of us choose to eat the lomo saltado and it was excellent. It was plenty for my kids to share a plate. We had a wonderful time during this visit and would love to come again soon.

This place has ambiance in spades! There are all sorts of vibrant art work on the walls and the decor is divine. Our food was delicioso. We started off with the papas rellenas and then each of us tried something different. We had: Saltados, Arroz con pollo, fried rice with chicken, and estafado de carne. The lunch also comes with soup or salad. The portions are generous so you'll definitely be walking away with a to-go bag. Our waitress brought my friend a lobster bisque which she did not order. Then she forgot to bring her the salad. So we asked for the salad to go. The dessert menu looks fantastic but we were all full.

This was a thank-you dinner of 5 with some past clients and my wife. Two of them had not eaten at Terra Sur before. Lee was our server who has been at the restaurant for 8 years he told us even before their expansion. I couldn't help but rate it 5 stars as everything in the meal was excellent: Food, service, and atmosphere. We started with a couple of ceviches and the calamari. Entrees consisted of Bistec a la Chorrillana (Ribeye steak), Parihuela (Peruvian Bouillabaisse), Jalea Mixta (Fried seafood platter), Aji de Gallina (shredded chicken stew with cheese), and my usual Anticuchos de Carne (Chimichurri skirt steak). All were excellent and well-proportioned. Several of us took food home with us. The crème de la crème was Lee our server who certainly had been to the rodeo before. Very attentive, professional and cordial throughout the meal. I'll try to ask for him when I return again.

Apparently there are quite a few Peruvians in Tampa, and many of them seem to congregate at Terra Sur, based on the conversations I overhead in the restaurant. My companion, who is married to a Peruvian, says she claims the food is authentic. Honestly, having no experience with this nation's food before, I can't say. But I was not overwhelmed, let me put it that way. First, bread. Maybe in Lima bread is not a thing. But this bread was cut from an indifferent, tasteless, shallow loaf. For me bread is always the first indicator of whether a restaurant is good, great or bad. Do they really care? If not the bread will be eminently forgettable. This was. My companion ordered two appetizers: a ceviche and chicken on skewers. The ceviche was bland, large chunks of firm white fish offering little or nothing of distinction. Bland, bland, bland. The side components...eh. Nothing memorable. Or even close. For lunch I ordered the Churrasco, even though my companion warned me it had been bland on his last visit. Actually the chimichurri was bland. It consisted, apparently, of nothing more than olive oil and finely chopped parsley. Huh? Where's the garlic? Where the...umpf! I've had ten times better at an American restaurant (a small chain, actually) not five miles distant. My flank steak featured two pieces stacked on top of one another (!), while to the right was an overly generous amount of thick French fries. Odd. A little weird. The fries were OK, however. Are fries a big thing in Lima? Verdict: Terra Sur offers overly BLAND food in a rather pleasing, if dark-walled restaurant. My rating would be a 2.5 if that was available...

Enjoyed our monthly book club outing at this restaurant. The food was good well seasoned and the service was impeccable. Our server was very helpful and it provided great suggestions when asked. The seating options were plentiful. You were able to sit outside or inside. Our group sat outside where we were able to enjoy the music and enjoy the nice breeze. Overall a great experience and I will definitely be back in the future

The food is delicious. I don't often have Peruvian food, so this place is a treat. I love it. The ceviche was especially delicious. I also strongly recommend you save room for dessert. We had Mango cheesecake and a nice slice of Tres Leches. Unbelievable! We'll definitely be back. My only sadness was that the redesigned restaurant isn't as visually exciting and energetic as it was before. Previously it was a riot of color and interesting art. The new decor is neutral and understated. Do not get me wrong. It is lovely. It feels as if we're out for a nice meal at a pretty restaurant. But I felt as if I'd taken a mini vacation in Peru with the previous design. I miss that.

This is an amazing little neighborhood Peruvian restaurant that I go to in Tampa ever since my Dad first brought me. Now every time I'm here to visit my parents we eat here. This is my Dads favorite spot in Tampa and now it's mine as well. We have eaten here twice in the past week and both times everything from the staff to the food was perfect. The steak we both got cooked medium, was cooked to absolutely perfection in such a way when I tried to pull it off the skewer it fell apart. This is marinated in some sauce I think that's made in heaven. Seriously I have no idea how they do this. If your in Tampa in the Carrol Wood area you have got to eat at this place. Amazing fish ceviche as well! The picture here shows the shrimp because I was to hungry to wait and the fish ceviche was just that good. Didn't have time to wait. Ok so see y'all there!! Cheers !
