It was surprisingly very good. We had to get something quickly in that shopping area. I ordered a plate that came with a few things, two Flautas, one chicken one steak, nachos, pork tamales, rice. And it was delicious. My husband had enchiladas verdes with rice and beans. Everything was delicious. I would come back here again. The portions were huge. The waiter was very nice, and the restaurant was clean. read more

This is rapidly becoming the family's go to TexMex in Williamsburg. We love hitting up the lunch menu. Fast, tasty, filling, great service, TV's showing real football (aka, soccer) with periodic "GOOOOAAAALLL" screaming announcers. Definitely puts you in the mood to have fun and enjoy yourself. Started out with the standard app: chips & salsa. It just warms my heart whenever some place serves white salsa. Or whatever they call it. I know I'm in heaven then. One day I'll figure out what's in it and likely stop. But until then - bliss. I am a sucker for any TexMex with a "Speedy Gonzalez" lunch item. In fact, I don't recall if I've ever NOT seen that lunch option. In this case, it gets you a taco & enchilada that is probably the standard for a Speedy. Unfortunately only one side? Not sure if I hate it, but definitely a cost cutting move. All the items were great. Finally, the servers were FANTASTIC. Well done with a place that has great peeps. read more

Traditional Mexican flavors, everything was delicious ! Great environment, & lots of fun with 80s bingo night!

Went on a Tuesday and enjoyed their $1.50 taco special of either a chicken or ground beef hard shell. The shells seemed that they were just fried and were so good. I only tried the shredded chicken and they were delicious. Chips, salsa and white sauce were all good. The Coke was also really good. Our waitress was super attentive and checked on us often. Not overly large restaurant but plenty of seats, including booths and tables. read more

I hate this place, too over stimulating, service is horrible, and overall the food was mediocre. I would save your money and go to a family owned restaurant here in williamsburg rather than this chain restaurant that was spawned in the old uno. read more

Upon entering the resistant around 4:00 pm on a Monday, due to there no being a hostess, I waited for approximately 3 minutes before a waitress noticed me. She gave the impression of being annoyed that she now had this duty by her body language and facial expression. She marked me down on the seating chart and quickly escorted me to a table across from the bar. A few minutes later she gave me chips, salsa and a ranch- like dressing. Thereafter, I was completely ignore by the entries staff. Nobody came to take my drink order. As I waited, and waited, I played three games of solitaire on my cellphone. After 13 minutes of being ignored, I got up from the table and walked out. So, I cannot comment on the food order drinks because I never had one; yet, the service is terrible! read more

Mexican Food Done Well. We ordered the Luch Special 2 and 4. Both were delicious! My burrito and taco were filled with ground beef that had obviously been slow cooked with a little cumin, onions, and other spices that gave it the authentic flavor we expected. The red sauce was an authentic burria sauce. The taco was a grilled flour tortilla with the same meat, lettuce, creme fresh, amd Mexican style cheese. Our service was quick and efficient. The ambiance was meh... not because of the decor but because we were the only people there. 2:30 on Saturday afternoon during tourist season. read more

Ten stars for the tortilla chips alternative of sliced cucumber + lime juice + tajin with guacamole. Really love their entire healthy menu. The steak in the burrito bowl was a little tough (not great quality) and the cauliflower rice was more like cauliflower mash (the frozen green giant stuff microwaved is better) but again, TEN STARS for the tortilla chips alternative. I will 100% be eating cucumber at home this way from now on. read more

I'm always on the search for something scrumptious and what I found here was definitely that right there! So I went with one of the combos with an enchilada, chilli relleno, and a burrito all of it was delicious and definitely hit the spot! Their red sauce was yummy it had a good flavor to it making each item just that much more enjoyable than the next! The enchiladas were awesome they were packed with cheese which had a really yummy gooey flavor to it just the way it should be! The real star was my chilli relleno as that was legit and delicious definitely one of the better ones I've had on the east coast as the pepper was perfectly stuffed with cheese it had a nice fry on it and just totally the best part of this yummy dish! The burrito was also good but the real star was the chilli relleno so definitely seek that out here as it's just that yummy! They also give you chips and salsa which both were yummy too as I love a good spot where both of those are good too! Overall cool place that's not to far from Busch if your in the area definitely check it out as it's yummy! read more

The food was great. It as the slowest service I have ever encountered. There was plenty of staff and only four or five tables.

We had come here from nh with family from nc to go to bush gardens and had chosen this place to eat back in April the food was great then tried to do a review but got lost in my travels the staff were nice and polite as well as efficient and quick so we decided to try this place again today This place once again did not disappoint We had the steak quesadillas they were fresh as were the rice and beans the wraps were warm there was also enough steak for leftovers to take home for am breakfast burritos The flavor was good the service again was on point their understanding of English is a little broken but be patient The restaurant was clean Plenty of seating Will return will recommend read more

We went in for a quick appetizer and a drink, and we were not disappointed. fabulous margaritas and awesome nacho options. Shout out to our server, too, who made the fajita nachos a vegetarian option for us! read more

This is always our go to place when visiting Williamsburg. Extensive menu and great prices. Margaritas are awesome. We will be back!

Average - a little salty but not terrible overall. Salsa is decent and service isn't bad either

I won't lie we just picked a place off of apple maps while driving up 95N. When we pulled up I didn't expect a whole lot but let me tell you I was greatly surprised. Prices were great especially for the lunch specials. I think pre-tip it was $12ish for lunch with a water. The food was amazing I had the Carne Asada Burrito with rice and beans ***** stars and no one at the table with me had any complaints about their food either. The service was good and staff made sure our waters were always filled and we had all the chips and salsa we wanted. If I lived in the area that would definitely be a goto restaurant. read more

Convenient location. Near resorts and Jamestown. Portion is big, service is good and the special margarita is very good.

Discovered this restaurant while leaving Busch gardens and lucked out because there weren't many food options open late in the area still serving food. Parking was easy as it is located in a strip mall. The inside of the restaurant is either very new and not decorated or it is just bare bones decorated with no general theme. I had my doubts upon entering the restaurant as it seemed understaffed and crowded. We waited maybe 5-10 minutes for a table for 6 that had to be cleaned prior to being seated. Upon being seating we had 3 different servers ask for our drink order, this was a bit disorganized and frustrating. We had a different server bring drinks, a different server take our order, and a different server who brought out our meals. Once seated we were given a never ending flow of fresh warm chips and salsa. They were warm and fresh out of the fryer and the salsa has a wonderful flavor to it. All of our entrees were huge portions and we were able to bring home leftovers. I opted for the quesadilla rellenos with chicken which was delicious and two quesadillas. I was given rice I assume as a default side which was okay and very well flavored. The fajitas were fantastic and a perfect sized portion to split between two. The burrito was good just had to be customized. The larger burrito came drowned in a delicious queso that it was barely half eaten and had to be taken home. The food was fantastic even though the restaurant was a bit confusing. read more

After a long but good day at Busch Gardens we stopped here on the way back to our campground for dinner. Somehow, Mexican cuisine is always a draw for us. We were on the late side for dinner at 8:30pm explaining our hunger, especially the grandchildren. For me, the atmosphere was a little far from Mexican, especially the lighting, being way too bright. But, we were seated immediately and our server, NErys C., welcomed us and took our drink order. I ordered Miller Lite, my wife ordered a margarita, and the kids had water. Soon NErys was back with drinks and we were ready to order dinner. My wife split a three item Make Your Own, our grandson ordered a deconstructed Shrimp and rice with the vegetables and cheese on the side, and our granddaughter ordered two cheese quesadillas. The food came out quickly and it was good. I still say that the ambiance took something away from the experience. If we were ever traveling through this area again we would search out a different Mexican restaurant for that reason. For those who do not care about ambiance, go for it, the food makes it worth your while. Ciao. read more

A girl wiped her armpit with my tortilla, I still ate it though interesting taste will definitely go again...

We love to visit Williamsburg for a quick get away. We decided to visit La Terraza b/c we had never eaten there before and when I say this will not be the last time! The food was absolutely delicious! Our compliments to the chef! And the customer service was great! read more

Amazingly delicious Mexican food. Visited when we first moved here and was pleasantly surprised at the authenticity. Staff very nice and accommodating. Can be a little loud in the main dining, but request a booth by the bar and super nice. Horchatas was delicious and refreshing. read more

La Terraza Mexican Grill - Pork with green sauce. Chile Verde. - Mexican Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

We wanted to like this restaurant- it's close by, clean, and the service is friendly. The food however is not good. The first time we visited we got a chimichanga and chiles relleno, both of which were unspiced except for salt- so much salt. I got agua de Jamaica to drink, and was disappointed that it tasted like it came from a mix. When something is as easy to make as Jamaica, there's no excuse for it to be bad. Second visit I got enchiladas verdes, which again were completely unspiced. The filling was a sweet, salty, barbecued pork. The mushy rice on the side had so much knorr/maggi/goya powder that it was a salt lick. I asked for spicy salsa, and was told that their spiciest was on the table. It was completely flavorless, and the servers couldn't tell me what chilies were in it. It looked like they used dried chilies, and maybe tomatillos, but they went out of their way to make it bland. I get that restaurants in this area have to cater to the overwhelmingly bland palates of the residents, but I don't understand why they can't have proper salsas for people who want them. Maria Bonita on Mooretown Road seems to be the only Mexican restaurant that does that. La terraza is just disappointing. read more

Friendly service and family recipe tasting Mexican food. The restaurant was clean and comfortable for dining with the family.

This late-closing restaurant was a pleasant experience after the long lines for food at Busch Garden (which is nearby). All of the food was good to excellent, which was impressive considering the extensive menu. The service was friendly and prompt. The only hiccups we encountered were the extra breading in the kids' fried shrimp (order something else), and the cheese on the beans (we would have preferred the menu say that cheese would be on the beans). Overall a very pleasant experience! read more

I've stopped giving reviews on here because I have been disappointed when I do and then when I go back to the same place...it's not good. So...I've made a rule to only do a review after 5 or 6 visits. And I found one I'm very happy to do a review for! LTM is new and for Tex Mex ... it's pretty tasty! I've tried a variety of items and the food has not disappointed. Portion size is more than filling. Service is friendly and attentive. Ambiance is not overly done but appropriate. Music can be on the loud side at times but not overbearing. And it's clean. Looks it, smells it, and feels it. So I would say go! It's worth the money which by the way, is not over priced. Highly recommend! read more

Good food. More American influence than Texas. Very loud environment. Margarita was weak. Service was good and friendly.

Great for quick authentic Mexican food, and drinks were just as good. Staff was friendly and courteous. Decor is authentic to Spanish culture, but we sat outside which was refreshing even if it was in the parking lot. Def a must try read more

Ok. Convenient location to Kingsmill's but the restaurant is very noisy. The bar area is better if noise is an issue fyi. Food is typical mid range Tex mex nothing special. Better options abound like 4Mares or La Tolecata read more

So we've been to the La Terraza at Monticello and we are so happy to have a La Terraza that is closer to the house. McClaws Circle location is so easy to get in and out of and the staff is very attentive to customers needs. The table side guacamole service is the way to go, made fresh at your table, To your liking. Many margarita choices, which the wife loves and I normally have one of many beer choices. The wife and I typically get the fajitas and share, the rice is so good. The service is impeccable, we typically go once a week! Thank You read more

Food was so so. Chips were nice and crispy. Lettuce and vegetables looked very fresh. Waiter must've been new. Hardly talked loud enough to be heard. Forgot my appetizer. Wasn't bad wasn't good. read more

Spouse brought me here because he knows I love Mexican food. I always order tacos- Always. I had a beef, chorizo, and chicken/chorizo taco. Best tacos that I've ever had anywhere! We have traveled all over the world and these are the best IMO! Unfortunately, I didn't take a "before" photo and instead only captured the "after" damage (after almost licking the plate clean- literally.) We will be back! read more

I was a little concerned walking into an empty restaurant at dinner time, but that concern started to fade away when we were instantly greeted by the friendly staff. The restaurant looked very clean and modern and our group of 8 was seated and had drinks in under 5 minutes. There were 3 different specials to choose from that all looked delicious for under $17.I didn't personally eat any of the specials but they looked and smelled amazing. I went for the shrimp ceviche ($25) and was very impressed! It was massive! I recommend you order it to share as a group. The cucumber, avocados, tomatoes and onion tasted very fresh and clean and the shrimp was awesome! The plate was a huge pile of extremely fresh deliciousness. If I was in town longer I would head back to sample more. I don't know what other Mexican restaurants are in Wilmington but I can't imagine them having better taste or quality. Check them out! read more

What a declious hidden little gem! This restaurant was one of the highlights of our trip! The food was absolutely delicious! We loved the creamy ranch dipping sauce they gave us with the chips and salsa. Service and ambiance were great too! I highly recommend giving them a try! read more

Food was good! Portions were generous BUT the service was not good. Ordering and getting the food was fine but , whether it was outside seating or not, we waited a long while before the check came. Using a discount coupon must have confused the server and others..... finally after considerable time, our server put the ticket on the table and left quickly . read more

I don't know how this place has such a high rating. The menus were dirty: they had pieces of chips and salsa splashed on them. Although I'm not sure why since there were multiple people standing around at the hostess stand that could've wiped them down. The interior is super depressing like another reviewer said. It is one large room that is trying to look modern but is dark and grey. There was trash all over the floor. My food was burnt/overcooked. The rice was dry. My chile rellenos were burnt. My partners taco salad was soup. Never again. read more

This is my third or fourth visit to this restaurant. They are on point every single time. Just excellent food excellent flavor top quality service. This is by far the best Mexican restaurant in Williamsburg. read more

We just had the worst experience with this place. First it was a take out my daughter ordered. When she got there they had double one of the orders so i paid for it anyway. When we got the food home there was raw chicken in my chimichanga! So I called to complain and the person kept asking me the same question over and over like he didn't understand but he was speaking ok english. I told him just to forget it because i paid in cash and wasn't going all the way back. So at least there are other Mexican Restaurants in the area. They will never have my business again. read more

After eating at the bar at the resort Thursday a few weeks ago and a chain Italian restaurant the following nite,this place was refreshing. We sat at the bar and got our drinks taken care of in less than 3 minutes. The waitress gave us menus, and we were on our way. Drinks were brought and asked if we needed more time with our food. Ordered and within less than 7 minutes we we're eating. And the food was excellent!!!! We asked for the manager and told him this place was great after the service we had the last two nites. If your looking for a great Mexican restaurant, THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO. read more
