Terraza Sunset
Yanirett R.

First let's start with how quaint & welcoming this cute restaurant is. Our waitress Tabby greeted us wonderfully. All her recommendations were on point. My favorite drink was Terraza Sunset which Giro made so refreshing and summery. My dish of Camarones Criollo was simply superb. Fresh, tasty and well seasoned with crispy yet soft tostones hit just the spot. The Flan de Vanilla y Coco was average but doable. Overall, I really enjoyed my dinner & would definitely come again.

Churrasco

Tabi was a delight. She was very warming and welcoming. Her recommendations were spot on and we loved all our dishes. She is very knowledgeable and sweet. 100% recommend stopping in if you are coming to Puerto Rico. Beautiful ambience and lovely rooftop. Whole experience makes us want to come back whenever we are back on the island.

Fish Strips with arroz mamposteado
Esther S.

Our first time visiting Dorado and we wanted to have dinner nearby so we decided to try this spot. I was not disappointed! I ordered a cocktail called Mula de Oro which was insanely delicious. For my main course I ordered the grouper appetizer (fish strips) with a side order of arroz mamposteado. It was the perfect meal! The grouper was lightly breaded and fried. It wasn't oily at all and very flavorful. The rice was also very delicious. It had the perfect amount of "sabor". The portions are generous but I did order dessert just to try the flan de queso. Zero regrets, it was delicious and unlike any other dessert I've ever had. Just imagine cheesecake merging with flan drizzled with caramel... The service was great, both Spanish & English are spoken here so don't be intimidated if you're not a native. The ambiance is casual with outdoor and semi indoor seating and parking is available.

Churasco with rice
Gene B.

Took about 1.5hrs to get the food for 4 people. We ordered churasco and all 3 of them were barely warm. Setting was good, though there were several cars passing by with really loud music or engines. Food was good with a nice presentation. Service was OK. (I wonder if they were short on staff due to the Easter Sunday)

It was on my list and loved it! Food was traditional and good. The people were so friendly and welcoming made my visit great! I highly recommend this place if you're in that area

Fish tacos with masonary rice
Scott D.

The food here was delicious, the staff is friendly and attentive. Richelle got the fish tacos, fried grouper, with Masonry Rice (Arroz Mamposteado). Wonderful fried grouper and a good tater sauce. The masonry rice was a first and it is fantastic. I got the empanado en plantano, grouper breaded with plantain and served with rum and coconut sauce. The grouper by itself is delicious. So if you get this order the sauce on the side, it's cake frosting sweet, you only need a little layer, then this dish is amazing. You can eat the rest of the sauce like a dessert. We order a Terraza Sunrise to share, good thing case there is a stiff pour of rum and liquor, good to share or pour into a sprite!? Only issue is the Diet Coke was mixed wrong so we switched to sprite. It's an open air dining space that is covered, music from the bar/club next door is in the background. I order rice and beans for my side, very yummy and different from the masonary rice, they look nearly identical but they taste different.

tostones and shrimp
Ashley B.

la terraza is an amazing place to dine in puerto rico :) i had the fried calamari, which was amazing for taste. i also had tostones with shrimp, which also tasted excellent! the service was amazing and food came really fast! the atmosphere was quiet since we were the only ones there, but it was very peaceful and nice !! i would recommend la terraza to anyone who wants a nice lunch

Entrance to lower level of La Terraza. Love the atmosphere
heather t.

This place is 10/10. Great service and best food we have had in Dorado. Everything was fresh! Definitely order the calamari with spicy sauce. I wanted shrimp for main entree but did not want pesto sauce so the server recommended the spicy sauce. It was great!!! (Warning, it is really spicy) my fiancée had the red snapper filet and he raves about that. Overall it was a great experience and wonderful atmosphere. Our local resort recommended and we will definitely be back!

Wonderful. We started with a cocktail (Terraza Sunset). Oh baby, it was very good. Our dinners (sunrise chicken breast and red snapper fillet) were both excellent. We'll be back. Our server was attentive and very interactive.

Food was horrible. We ordered two mofongos, both were tasteless and dry, not typical at all. Do not recommend.

Mediocre food, lousy service. Locals who arrived after us were served first. Risotto was dry and mofongo was not good. Do not recommend!

This hidden gem was a 10 minute ride from the resort I stood at while in PR, I only regret not…read morehaving come across it sooner. My boys and I decided to walk the shore with the intentions on trying one of the restaurants alongside the beach for lunch and settled on this spot after seeing their ratings. They have both indoor and outdoor seating which was a huge relief given we were in much need of AC. The place wasn't crowded but it had its share of people- deff looked like a popular spot for the locals. Staff were welcoming and seated us promptly. The menu is extensive with so many options to choose from it made it hard to pick. I decided to leave it in the waitresses hand to suggest an app and entree for myself. She recommended the mini acapurrias that came paired with a guava sauce and the shrimp mofongo made from a mixture of sweet plantains and tosotones-it was mouth watering good. I'll have her to blame for the longing I'll have to endure of such an incredible dish. I have personally never finished any mofongo but this one I damn bear licked the plate. The shrimp was juicy, fresh, the garlic not overbearing. The amount of caldo was just portioned so as kiss the amount of mofongo served. My kiddos loved the mini alcapurrias. They were crisp, hot and paired deliciously with the guava sauce. My eldest had the churrasco which he described as being juicy and tender and my little guy had the chicken tenders and fresh cut fries which were a treat. I would absolutely - more like religiously- would return to this spot.

The service couldn't be friendlier. We had returned again and again. This last time I had the…read moregrouper filet with onions and my husband had the veal chop. The prices are reasonable and the food is great. I highly recommend!!

Although we were trying to hunt down an authentic Puerto Rican meal, everyone was too hot and hungry to be picky. This was actually a surprisingly cute restaurant, considering the name. There is a heavy Country Western theme, and most of the food is stuff you'd find in any American restaurant. I could have done without the nonstop country music, personally. I ordered the Mamposteao because it was the only traditional item on the menu. It was very delicious and the flavors were true to the island. The rest of my family ordered burgers and appetizers. No one was thrilled about their meal. The best part of the restaurant was probably the waitress. Despite her thick accent, she was wearing a cowboy hat and cowboy boots and trying desperately hard to fit the theme of the place. She definitely has some work to do, but she was hilarious and very nice!
