La Terraza

We were so excited to have Mexican come to Gluckstadt. Have eaten there 10+ times. Average quality. Wait staff slightly above average.
One night we were tired and decided to get takeout. I returned home and opened my dinner. I discovered a roach in my rice. I took it back to the restaurant. They offered me other food but not a refund. I went to chicken wing place that night and won’t go back again.

If you’re hungry, don’t get the Baja fish tacos. The wife’s scallop chimichanga was delicious though. Plenty of food on her plate.

Was so excited for a Mexican restaurant in Gluckstadt! I’ve been twice and was unimpressed both times. No drink menu, no drink specials (have seen since I visited on their sign that they have specials every now and then.) Food is bland and expensive. Chips and salsa are ok. Queso is ok. One entrée and a drink is about $ 15, way higher than other, better tasting Mexican restaurants in the area. Service is mediocre.

Las Terrazas is finally the first Mexican restaurant to open off the Gluckstadt Exit and was much needed.
I had the street style tacos which is basically 3 corn tortillas with a spicy pork that is grilled to order. The restaurant has most items you would find at other mexican restaurants but it does offer a nice selection of items that you will not find anywhere else such as the Mocajete Ranchero which is a large dish served in large hot stone bowl with everything good in life; steak, grilled chicken and sautèed vegetables in a homemade chipotle and mocajete sauce that is served with authentic queso fresco. It’s delicious.
I’ve also had the Chile Colorado here and at other mexican restaurants and this place is not afraid to bring on the spice and it does not taste like it is out of a can. It is actually made. In the restaurant. Everyday.
Also, the queso dip is superb, probably some of the best in the area. I don’t know how to they do it but it’s seriously addictive.
If you have room for dessert, go with flan and you will not be disappointed. It’s also made in house.
All in all, it was a great experience.
Sunday through Thursday is happy hour all day by the way on all Margaritas!

Love this restaurant. Great food, great prices, great service. The taco salad with shredded chicken is my favorite. The fajitas platter is superb and generous. Also like the tamales. I’ve eaten there four times since it’s close to my work. Each time the restaurant was immaculate and the food delicious. I was seated immediately and quickly waited on and served. I’m so happy to have this restaurant so near to my work.

New Mexican restaurant in the old Turnrow location.
Bud light is the only beer on draft. Most Mexican spots have at least Dos Equis on draft. I got a Negra Modella bottle for $ 4.50. This is a good bit higher than most Tex Mex joints in the area. i. e I can usually get a Dos Equis Amber for $ 4 for a 32 oz draft.
Menu was pretty vast but a good $ 2-​$ 5 more per dish than most Tex Mex places around Madison. Cheese dip was average and chips were not fresh. Tasted like they were out of bag instead of freshly made.
My wife got the shrimp tacos which were super hot. I got the Fajita steak quesadilla. The strange thing was no rice, beans, or pico came with either entrée. At $ 9-​$ 12 each, they should have. Did we leave hungry? No, but just not impressed.
I’m glad something is out this way but at these inflated prices and weak beer selection, I’ll drive 3 – 5 miles for something better.
