La Terraza is a lively Mexican restaurant in Southwest Detroit that’s known for its authentic food and fun atmosphere. Located on West Vernor Highway in the Mexicantown area, it serves traditional Mexican dishes, seafood, and classic favorites for lunch and dinner.

I ordered tacos and fajitas, and the food was flavorful and very satisfying. The portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh and well seasoned. Their seafood dishes and sizzling fajitas...

Food is authentic and great. Been twice and both times, fantastic. The salsas are really good too. Atmosphere is nice. Quiet and relaxed during lunch. Ramped up a bit with live dj in the evening o weekends. Ill be back again

The service was great, the ambience was great as well but I was just disappointed with the food. The food came out like warm and it lacked so much flavor. The arachera had no seasoning whatsoever. The flautas that came with the pozole Jalisco was cold. You get a can of soda which means no free refills. Maybe I gotta give it another try. Mi Pueblo seems to be the best on my list so far cause their food never disappoints.
