Terraza — Restaurant in Texas City

PREFER HERE OVER TAQUERIA (jal. & vallata in tc are owned by the SAME family) ANYDAY their customer service is amazing everyone is super sweet! I dont get looked at crazy when i walk in they actually GREET you even if your by YOURSELF..And they give chips and salsa with to go orders ! Don't matter if it's only a 10$ order.. taqueria don't do that. Also if your vegetarian THEY HAVE ALOT OF VEGETARIAN OPTIONS.. taqueria don't. the tortillas are fresh and homemade that's important for me as I'm Mexican myself..the Salsa is on point .. I was so wrapped up in taqueria I never realized how good terazas was . But that's why they are always packed! MAKES SENSE Their not dirty like taqueria that has their meat just sit out already cooked! They make their dishes FRESH! I hate to compare but honestly I just want to enlighten everyone on how good this restaurant is OVERALL with their competitors! I believe it's very important. I've found beard hair multiple times in my food at taqueria trust me I didn't want to bash them but after I've been treated like crap every time I go there (WHEN I BEEN A CUSTOMER FOR YEARS!) and they started giving me expired salsa when I would ask for spicy salsa. It just was horrid. Then I got chicken that tasted like TUNA which is a clear indication that the meat was rotten because I felt sick IMMEDIATELY after.. so I would like to atleast give you this information because that's not fair.. I wouldn't want anyone to get sick! Food is nothing to play with especially CHICKEN. I'm spreading awareness I wouldn't want anyone ending up in the hospital over food poisoning ! I tried to ignore the fact that I was being treated horribly because i did like their food but once they started giving me expired things and me finding beard hair in my food.. yea I just simply won't go there anymore and I'm glad I found a good Mexican restaurant in tc that I can go to now! Want a good margarita?? Or some good Mexican food?? HERE IS THE PLACE!!...

We moved to Texas City from San Antonio so I feel accomplished in the art of Tex-Mex. Terraza serves warm red salsa and cold creamy green salsa. Both are great, although I do prefer a little more body in my red sauce. The drinks were good and decently priced. The queso was tasty and creamy. It did not rely on a lot of veggies to give it flavor and came out perfect. My daughter is sure to like that since she picks through queso and leaves me all the chunks. Our main dish was the brochette combo which had 4 bacon wrapped shrimp and combo fajitas for under $20! Flavorful and filling. The waitress was super sweet and attentive. It is very much like having family check on you as you eat after coming home from being gone for a long time. The only issue, and it really didn’t bother us at all, is that smoking is allowed inside. It was a minor annoyance that can be overlooked because the rest of the experience was great. Unfortunately, we ate the food before I remembered to take a picture so here is what is left of the queso and salsa in the...

Everything started out well, then we were seated. Our table was placed under a vent that dripped on us. We requested another table. We then ordered dtinks, two of the 7 came wrong. Had them replaced and they came wrong again. We moved on. Third set of drinks, one had food in the drink the other had hair. The server saw what was a long straight Hair that our server said could have came from the cook. Manager said no, it is a black hair, which it was not. I will never visit this place again, over a 5 dollar drink, you lost a customer and now have bad word of mouth. Our server paid for the drink and we reimbursed her thru her tip. Check was astound $157 would have been $152. We were charged tip on ticket, but still left more for our server. Yasmin the manager made a bad customer service decision that cost her nothing, but cost the owner a patron. Continue to make these type decisions because your staff are making mistakes and see your doors close. Profit margins for restaurants are...
