Tercero Dining Commons is peak UC Davis: overhyped, overpriced, and underwhelming. It looks sleek on the outside, but inside it’s crowded, chaotic, and bland. The food? Repetitive, low-quality, and barely worth what they charge. It’s less about feeding students and more about selling a campus “experience” that doesn’t exist.
Like everything else at Davis, it’s branding over substance. They push flashy campaigns while ignoring real feedback. Honest criticism gets shut down, not addressed. The focus isn’t on improving student life — it’s on maintaining the illusion.
Tercero isn’t a community space — it’s a cafeteria dressed up for a brochure. Another hollow corner of a campus that cares more about image than impact.

Great vegan options. I was very happy with my meals during the conference. It would be great to have more vegan options for sweets, unsweetened plant milks, and vegan butter for toasts.

Tercero Dining Commons is just another overpriced and overrated dining hall at UC Davis. The food is bland and repetitive, and it feels like they’re not even trying to provide a decent meal. Just another cash grab that doesn’t care about students. UC Davis can do better, but they just don’t.

this is more about the tercero market. rude employees. girl was glued to her phone. didn’t ask for student id. i scanned my three items and she rudely said to scan one of them again ( i was charged for one more item than i purchased). i didn’t want to go in and argue with her for $4 but still 😭 super rude. would not go back again.

It's a student cafeteria, so it's cheap, delicious, has a good atmosphere, and has a lot to eat. Great value for money!!! I happily ate dessert!!!
