La Terraza Restaurant Santa Paula Reviews
Came to El Terraza today in Santa Paula (right on the corner of 10th St. and Main St.) and had an awesome meal. I ordered the taquitos and a bean tostada — the tostada was super crispy and absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh and the Mexican food here is just plain good. The restaurant is clean, well taken care of, and you can tell it’s been a solid local spot for a long time. I sat out on the patio and it was a great vibe — especially with the historical building right across the street.
Great pozole definitely recommend, wife had the enchiladas and Saud they were really good I tried them as well and I agree. Price was pretty fair it a window you order from but they bring your food to the table.
We have been to this restaurant multiple times as we are locals. This is my husband's favorite restaurant for Carne Asada Tacos. I had one tostada de ceviche de pescado and a tostada de camaron. They were both delicious, but I liked the tostada de camaron the most. They give you chips and salsa while you wait for your food. Ask for their spicy salsa, it's "chile de arbol salsa" its really good! Enjoy! 👍
Quick and tasty. Fyi: they're hiring a waitress.
Service great, food chefs kiss, atmosphere fresh good view from the outside. Love the antioqueño buildings in that area.
My absolute favorite place to eat from enchiladas to trilpa tacos to there most famous ground beef or chicken crunchy tacos.

Great food video Taco combo plate meat flavors awesome anything on the menu will not disappoint
My daughter and I had lunch here yesterday. We enjoyed our lunch, and it was delicious. I had a chicken burrito, and my daughter had the enchiladas. The chips, salsa, and guacamole were really good as well as well as the service.
If you're looking for authentic Mexican food at a great price, this place is a hidden gem. The food is delicious and truly authentic, making it well worth the visit. The atmosphere might not be the best, as it’s more of a casual spot where you order at a window and wait for your food, but that’s part of its charm. I’d recommend opting for takeout if you’re looking for comfort, but the quality and price of the food make it a fantastic choice for a genuine Mexican meal.
Today was my first visit, the best hardshell taco ,rice beans ,taco was dressed, SOOOOO 😊

Back after 19 years. Was surprised to see inside eating area. I liked it. The meal I ordered was delicious. 1 Chile relleno with a cheese enchilada.
First time at La Terraza, enjoyed the pozole rojo, great taste good mix of pork and homeny, can get busy, worth a visit if in the area.
They serve menudo on weekdays & that's the best thing I can say

Walked into this downtown restaurant, I ordered the caldo de Res. They brought it out to my table, what a pleasant surprise. The soup came with a variety of fresh vegetables and very soft beef. The soup was delicious and hot. The staff was very friendly and helpful, I recommend highly. I will be back soon thank you!
I had some nachos they were ok the meat was tuff only ate half of the nachos on the other hand the girl on the register was very nice and friendly
Nice, authentic, Mexican Restaurant. Good food. Simple atmosphere. Bathrooms were kept locked so one point off for customer inconvenience. Would definitely go back again, though.

My family and I show up 45 minutes to closing, but the service was still on point, even though the employees had started the clean-up process. We ordered a carne asada torta, tacos, and taquitos. The food was oh.k. meat may have been heated and reheated throughout the day, so it was a bit dry. I've been there before, so it may be best to enjoy it before closing.

I tried my husband's pastor sope and it was really good. My chicken mole was saltier than I liked. I felt like I couldn't taste the chocolate or chili! I alsolike the horchata and the chips and salsa. The restaurant decor and the murals were really nice.
Place was not so clean and bathroom smelled horrible. People were nice, food was ok. I would definitely not come eat here.
