Reviews for La Terraza Mexican Grill and Bar in Mankato, MN

Great lunch menue good service fairly priced

We visited La Terraza at approximately 1:30 pm on October 1st of 2022 after the lunch rush. We were wonderfully greeted by the... staff and were seated at a large table as we were a group of five. Our server was superb (Gulmira). She not only took ourorders, but took care of our every need and anticipated others from napkins to drinks even recommended dessert options for thegroup to share. We started with the normal chips and salsa. We also added a large cheese queso to the group. It was well worththe $9.99 price point. It was huge, plenty for each person to share and more to individually use on your meal, if you wanted it.I ordered a Trio Mexicano (photo) that had steak, chicken, and shrimp with rice and beans with a twist of orange. Others in mygroup ordered Enchiladas Mole (photo), Tacos Carne Asada (photo) and two Steak Quesadilla Fajitas (not pictured). The Trio wasabsolutely wonderful as it came with warm homemade tortillas. The sauce was devine and all proteins were cooked to the correcttemperature. The grilling provided just the right textures. I would definitely suggest trying it, but beware, you need to behungry to finish it in one sitting (LOL). The Enchiladas Mole was filled with shredded beef. The sauce was dark and rich.Surprisingly, the slight addition of the sesame seeds added a nice texture to the sauce. We like the visual garnishment of thetomato, the green pepper and a purple onion slice vs the standard spoonful of pico. Our youngest member who is a taco enthusiastdecided on the Tacos Carne Asada. The three taco dish was delivered street style with homemade double layers corn tortillasover-filled with steak with sides of fresh tomato pico and beans. I tried a piece of the steak. The flavors were so layered thatI wanted to steal a few more pieces just for the flavor, let alone the tenderness of the steak, itself. Our enthusiast gave it awell deserved thumbs-up! The Steak Quesadillas were well filled with cheese and tender steak. Read more

Was surprisingly good. Had to ask for a hotter salsa. The habanero salsa was awesome. Gotta love the size of the margaritas. Now... you can say you only had one, when it's like 3 ???? Read more
