Terraza

We recently decided to try a new restaurant that opened up near us, and after mentioning it to Sharon, I suggested she and Andy meet us for dinner. We love Mexican food, and there's nothing like getting a case of "chip-belly" (you know what it is - it's when you don't know when to say 'no, we don't need another bowl of chips before the meal arrives, thankyou'....) Sometimes short notice plans can be really fun!

Turns out there were a lot of crazy storms that afternoon, which resulted in some nice rainbows while we waited for Sharon and Andy to show up. Upon closer inspection, it was a double rainbow.


Here's a better view of the full picture.


And here's the front of the menu for the new Mexican joint. It's near the "new" Walmart and Lowes in Brimfield - and while all of this is about 15-20 minutes from us, it's actually one of the closest shopping centers worth visiting!


Once Sharon and Andy arrived, it was time to order. While waiting for the food, I figured I'd snap some pictures. Apparently I said something incredibly offensive amusing - I just don't remember what it was.


Here we go - that's more like it!


Finally the food arrived - and it was GOOD! A little higher class than most of the little Mexican joints around us... Andy got a chicken dish that was topped with bits of burnt (?!) sausage. I don't remember what Sharon had now.


There's Brett off to my side!


I got the carnitas - I tell ya, that was some seriously good pork! The rice and beans got a bit dried out on the super hot plate, but the rest of the food was really good!


Brett had a beef dish that was in a VERY rich chili-like sauce... And in the background there you can see the "salad" we each received - it seemed more like it would've been good piled on a taco, or for topping nachos. Their raw tomato salsa was SUPER good - very fresh, and you could taste the lime juice and see little minced bits of raw jalapeno. There was also guacamole, lettuce and sour cream. Again, odd for a salad....but tasty!


Would we go back again? Yeah, I think so!!
