We've been to La Terrazza quite a few times now, and it's always been a good experience. The atmosphere is just a little more upscale than other Mexican restaurants in the area. The food and service will not disappoint! We really love the queso fundido and fajitas, but the highlight for me is the Margarita flight! A wonderful date night spot. They do not skimp on the portions--Be prepared to take home leftovers!

The best restaurant in Mankato! This I'd my go-to place eat out. I have never had a bad plate of food, no matter what I order. The service is always top tier and is a very inviting restaurant to be in.

Lovely interior. Plenty of parking. The food was absolutely revolting. Everything was the opposite of expectation. The chips managed to be dry and greasy at the same time. Every component of the meal was bland, starchy flavorless, odd textures, even the coffee was undrinkable. This town is swamped with Mexican restaurants or pizza restaurants. Maybe change their game and level up to really make something in this place.

I visited this restaurant with my family while on family business in this town. Overall, in my opinion, the food does not justify the price. My wife ordered a Juarez plate and I ordered a parrillada tropical. The taco meat in a Taco Bell taco looks more appealing, and better tasting, than the meat in the Juarez plate taco. Honestly, it looked like smashed puppy chow. My wife didn't even finish the plate, and only took the initial bite of the taco before leaving it. The enchilada in the plate was vomitrocious. The plate didn't even include rice, (not that the rice on the other plate was great), considering that most other places do include the rice for that price. The parrillada tropical entree taste was ok, but definitely not worth the price. It came with some cheap, store bought tortillas, again, worse than the soft taco tortillas fromTaco Bell. (No offense to Taco Bell). Beans get 0 stars. Rice gets 1 star. On a positive note, I did try the shrimp cocktail which was good. My 2 teenager kids had a fajita quesadilla, and they both described feeling an unusual slimy texture. The taste was ok for them. The place has a nice look, and I was disappointed that the food was not as good as the look of the place. This was my experience. For perspective, I am hispanic, so my taste buds may be more demanding than someone who might not be used to authentic mexican cooking.

The food was very good. For our table we had beef, pork, and chicken. All of them were tender and full of flavor. The queso was also a highlight. Service was prompt and everyone was friendly.

I asked the wait staff if the restaurant served spinach, artichoke and cheese quesadias. When he looked at me strangely, I should have realized English was not in anyway part of his language. But he said sure, sure. Over 30mi minutes later, I received a cold scoop of what looked like canned spinach folded into a plain tortilla. I looked at it, paid, and left. Worst place ever.

The food was excellent! Was very quiet. We were there 1pm Monday. Nice atmosphere, but the music was a little too loud for conversations.

Great food and service! We tried many different menu items, and all were very tasty. Reasonable prices and free chips and salsa for every table. I didn't have a margarita, but they sure look pretty when they come out! It's worth a stop!Kid-friendliness: They have highchairs and welcome children.

If you come in with a large party they automatically charge the table 15% gratuity regardless if the service is good, bad or non existent. Guess what that means? That means you’ll spend your whole evening flagging them down for drinks, missing tortillas, refills and your bill because they don’t check on your table because they already got their tip. I addressed this with the waiter, he proceeded to tell me he let us reserve a table on their busiest night when they don’t usually reserve tables and then we were there for four hours as if four hours of bad service still warrants 15% gratuity. Oh and BTW, the entire party ordered drinks the whole evening, so it wasn’t like we were just sitting there taking up space on their “busiest night” and not spending a lot of money. As for the food, the chips were hard, the food was underwhelming and they charge extra for using a card instead of cash. I won’t be back. Do yourself a favor and drive to Madelia, MN and eat at the best Mexican restaurant I’ve ever been to, La Plaza Fiesta, you won’t be sorry.
The food here is always amazing and the service absolutely impeccable. I have never been disappointed.

Great food. They were extremely busy at the time, so service could have been better but the quality of the food made up for it. Reasonably priced, too.

My food was very cold but the plate was warm… I barely ate and the service was not good at all from any of the workers. Spent more enjoying the margaritas than I did my own food.

What is with this 3.5% service charge? Raise your prices!!!! Give an incentive if you want customers to pay cash. And, I have been charged for hot sauce , carryout containers & sodas ( when I order Easter only). So, watch your Bill & what you request from rhem. Credit & Debit Cards are a way of the world, la terrasa, it doesn't me you can take advantage of people that don't carry cash! And, to be making a profit on cc charges, when you certainly don't pay the cc company 3.5. My suggestion?.Raise prices, put bottles of hot sauce (complimentary) on each table, restrict cc Charges on purchases of $$$ or more, give people a dang box for leftovers. And, don't keep charging a convenience fee for take out orders. The food? Pretty good, not the best in the area. Portions are very sufficient, too. Wait staff is professional and very nice ... the ones that understand your English language. Went from a once a month (at least) place to dine, to maybe a once a year now??? Do the MATH how do they numbers work for you???. ,

Ordered nachos fajita. Best Mexican food I have ever had. Big servings. We all had to get a take home box. I can't wait to get back to mankato soon. I know where I'll eat at!!
