A pleasant terrace and a very relaxed atmosphere set the scene for a delightful meal. Under a bamboo roof and surrounded by lush plants, you will enjoy a quiet, romantic dinner or a scrumptious breakfast with family.
The breakfast menu is especially popular, featuring eggs prepared in 14 different ways, and omelettes with shrimp, Mexican sausage or chicharon (pork cracklings). Other options include pancakes, or cottage cheese with fresh fruit. Prices vary from $4 to $11 U.S.
The lunch and dinner menu sports some of the most traditional Mexican specialties. The classic Aztec soup loaded with a thatch of matchstick tortilla strips, Oaxaca cheese and avocado, as well as the fresh Capresse salad are good starters.
For the main course try the reasonably priced enchiladas, or mole poblano (chicken in a dark rich sauce). Another highlight––the hearty Mexican Plate–– includes a chile relleno, quesadillas, guacamole, a deep-fried taco, rice and beans. Fish, seafood and steaks are also prepared with a Mexican twist. Coconut shrimp in mango sauce and sea bass fillet in cilantro sauce are among the favorites, while the Arrachera Molcajete (grilled marinated beef served in a mortar stone) is a feast for meat lovers.
Don’t leave without dessert because the cheesecake, chocolate cake and ice cream are not to be missed. Dinner entrees from $11 to $24 U.S. Terranova Restaurant has a full bar and seating capacity for 72, including two air-conditioned dining rooms. The service is very relaxed and so is the pace at this unpretentious restaurant, reflecting on the tranquility of a small Mexican town. Open daily from 7a.m. to 10 p.m. On Degollado between Zaragoza and Doblado. For reservations, call (624) 142-0534.––Anna Urbanik
