Terranova — Restaurant in Oaxaca

In case you're reading this: im only doing this to save your time and money.

We ate there at night. Very loud music was playing from a restaurant next to Terranova. Terranova has its own Singer too who has to sing louder than the neighbour so that you can barely talk to each other.

From the moment you sit till you leave you'll get constantly bothered by people trying to sell you stuff.

The food is typical for a tourist trap. We got cold French fries, fried in old oil and cold vegetables (pretty sure frozen) as a side to our Chicken.

Don't even think about ordering a Filet Mignon. We were not even sure if the Meat was a filet or just a Steak. If you're used to eat a simple nice piece of filet then I'll have to disappoint you. They cover it in bacon and sauce so that you can taste anything but the meat itself. Maybe its the trick to hide the fact that it's not a filet. We should have thought about it when we saw the price.

The best part of our experience: We kindly addressed that our friend doesn't eat pork since its a religious taboo for her and that it wasn't mentioned anywhere in the menu. They offered to change it but in the end they just removed the pork and brought it back. You could taste the pork.

P.S. I'm still...

🚩🚩🚩SPEND YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE🚩🚩🚩!!!!!!!My family and I were looking for a nice place to celebrate my aunts birthday. After walking around the Zocalo we decided to visit Terranova. I was excited to try their “delicious food.” The server seemed like she was in a rush she constantly kept asking what we were going to order. Every time we would order something she kept asking “Is that it?” I was getting irritated but we decided to stick around since the food seemed pretty good. I decided to try the Filet mignon and the fajita de res. I asked the sever what came with the filet mignon? She said only veggies and a baked potato. After she brought our food, I saw that the filet mignon had some type of gravy on top ( lots of it)I don’t like gravy so I was really disappointed and upset since I was not told when I had asked. The filet mignon seemed like it was boiled in water. I tried eating it but I couldn’t. I felt sick after taking a few bites. I couldn’t eat finish it, I took 2 bites.We spend 2,300 pesos, I don’t recommend this restaurant the food is nasty and not worth what you pay for. I highly recommend Asador Basco...

As we walked through the plaza, we saw this place and their hosts welcomed us in.

I got the buffet and my 2 friends ordered individual meals.

Let's talk about the servers: they are amazing, accommodating, and so kind!

Second, the food- it was delicious!

My buffet selection was good because I wanted to stick with the basics. They were kind enough to get me warm food from the kitchen because the buffet was closing.

The drinks are great! We ordered coffee, alcoholic drinks, and non alcoholic. It was all so good!

They were so friendly and warm. The restaurant was full. There were groups of people celebrating graduates. The ambiance was so fun!

I would highly recommend this restaurant and the...
