We went to Terramar yesterday (3/14/25), and while the food was pretty good, the overall experience…read morewasn't decent. We got seated within 5 minutes since the place wasn't full yet. Our server took about 10 minutes to come over, but he brought our drinks out fast. We both ordered the Ceviche Campechano, which was good -- I've had other ceviches that packed more lemon and cilantro flavor, but this one still hit the spot. It came with saladita crackers, which felt weird at first, but ended up working really well. The service went downhill from there, though. It took forever for our server to check on us after the food came. Eventually, I noticed he was also bartending, which explained a lot. The place got packed while we were there, and drink orders were nonstop. He didn't come back, and I had to flag someone else down to ask for him, but he still never came. We decided to share dessert and got the churros with vanilla ice cream. The portion was good for sharing, but the churros were hard as a rock and impossible to eat. The ice cream was okay, nothing special. We asked for the check as soon as the dessert came because, at that point, we knew it'd take another 20 minutes to get it, and we were right. The whole thing ended up taking about 3.5 hours, which was way too long for what it was. It was hard to hear each other as the pace kept getting packed and the music was getting louder. Parking is decent. Street parking is free after 6 pm (Monday-Saturday), and I think they have a small lot behind the restaurant, but I've never used it. Honestly, the food was good, but the slow service and crazy wait times really ruined the night. I get that they were busy and understaffed, but it still shouldn't have taken that long. Not sure if I'd go back anytime soon.

I stopped in for a Friday lunch recently at Taqueria Del Pueblo. I ordered a burrito bowl with…read moresteak and chicken. The place was empty and quiet. My order was up in abt 5 minutes and everthing tasted fresh and very good. A little over salted however. The meal came to over $20 which I thought was pricey. I did see from my receipt that I was over charged for the bowl for a few dollors that was listed on the menu and the added meat was also a $4 charge. I would return but will keep an eye on the prices.

Needed a vegetarian meal near where we were staying. Found this place on Yelp and gave it a try…read more You order at the counter and it was really quick; we were on line for just a few minutes and had time to look at the menu board above and behind. They offer burritos, bowls, quesadillas, taco - barbacoa, pork, chicken, I think a couple of other meats, or veggie. We both had the veggie burritos. There's a loooong list of what can be included; for example, yellow or white rice, bean choices, salsa, queso, lettuce, cheese...and a couple of dollars extra if you add guacamole. We instead chose a side of guacamole and chips for about 4.50. I added veggies, Spanish rice, black beans, jalapeños, cilantro, lettuce, cheese, corn, salsa, queso, maybe another thing or two - this was one very stuffed burrito! Hubby skipped the jalapeño, the cheese. We shared the guac/chips. They do have beer and a fridge with sodas, water, maybe juices? You tell the cashier here or to go and get a basket or a brown paper bag. When we'd devoured the burritos we still had some time, so we shared a pretty decent flan! Very good for a fast, very casual, but tasty supper. Pay card or cash and there's a tip jar. Take some napkins, and forks or spoons if you need. Hit the spot for us this evening!

The Ambiance is great, the people are nice! But the recent visits, the food and drinks, and…read moreespecially their chips & salsa aren't the same anymore. We used to love going here, especially for their chips & salsa and their big portion of good food. But recent visits have been disappointing. One or two years ago, they drastically reduced their soup sizes and increased the price. There was a time when a cup of soup was a good light lunch. But lately it's not even the quantity of an appetizer. A small cup of soup for $12 is too much for a family restaurant. And the worst part recently is that they started serving store-bought chips and a replacement for their yummy habanero salsa. The new green salsa is nothing close to the old favorite. I think restaurants are forgetting in the cost-cutting game that they're losing their identity. I used to tell my friends you should try these restaurants, they have the best salsa. And if I want to eat store-bought chips, why bother coming to restaurants? I can just buy them from Costco and have food at home. I wish they could bring back the good quantity of soups, chips, and salsa. I miss the old Casablanca.

Disclaimer, We didnt get the Fajitas…read more Its not mexican food. Its closer to tex mex. Is it better than most chain tex mex places like margaritas? Yes. Is it also twice the price?

Maybe we just didnt order correctly but i wasnt blown away by anything but the bill. But we arent huge fans of tex mex.

I've been to BuenoMalo twice. The first time wasn't bad but I wasn't impressed. However since it…read morewas a while ago so I wanted to give it another try. My second visit was a lot better. It can feel a little cramped when it's crowded but the ambiance is nice with the soft lighting and vibrant decor. Service from the bartenders was great. Despite tacos and burritos being the only sections for main courses, some of the individual items can be meals on their own. I had the Surf and Turf quesadilla which was very filling. The tortilla has nice and crispy and there was a good balance of the different fillings (shrimp, steak, cheese, guacamole, and pico de gallo). The chipotle sour cream (I assume that's what it was, the menu didn't say) was a nice addition. The cocktails are as tasty as they are cheekily named. My favorite among the ones I've tried is Smoked Mangos, which comes with a slice or torched mango. The prices for both food and drink are a little steep and the food menu is rather limited, which is the reason I give this place stars instead of 5. If you come in expecting free chips and salsa and huge portions like your typical (American) Mexican restaurant, you'll be disappointed. If you want somewhere fun to have some drinks and some smaller plates, you'll be satisfied.

The carne a la tampiqueña con shrimp had tender meat and perfectly seasoned with a little kick. And the tostones were fried to perfection!

Today the place seemed a bit slow so maybe they didn't have the need to have a fresh batch constantly being made. Regardless they were acceptable and the salsa was good. I ordered the Pescado Azteca. Came out quickly and nice and hot! Kudos for not making the dish swimming in cheese sauce! Just enough to mix with the shrimp and veggies with a little bit to flavor the already seasoned white fish. Fish was a little bit dry, but the fresh veggies and shrimp livened it up. Mexican rice was good, could use a little more seasoning in my opinion but overall a well made rice. Overall a good experience and happy that I was not auto-tipped on the bill. Though that practice has not stopped and I witnessed the table next door deal with that situation. I'm happy to get my fix for Mexican food here and hoping the service remains top notch!
