Description: La Terracita has two restaurants. One is located on Adelita's street and the other one is located in front of the beach. For breakfast we offer the same menu, but for dinner each restaurant has their own menu, both are a great option to enjoy a wonderful night with a delicious food and great prices. The Restaurant on Adelita's street close on Mondays and the one on the beach close on Thursday. Come and enjoy our restaurants!

After three different trips, where we walked past this place over and over again, we finally decided to give it a try on our last night. I'd assumed it was probably very much like all the other restaurants on Adelita - they're all okay, some great, but most have very similar menus and "Specials". Wow, were we pleasantly surprised.

We sat out on the street, and enjoyed some live musicians playing to the crowd. We'd already had an appy at another spot, so we just ordered mains, but the server brought us a sample appy to try (I can't recall what it was called but it was delicious). For our main courses, I had the seafood penne. The portion was a bit small, I thought, and the flavours could have been a bit more intense, but overall it was a lovely natural tomato flavour, with lots of sauce and a small variety of perfectly cooked seafood. I'd tried similar and a couple of other restaurants (was craving pasta for some reason), and this was by far and away the best. Hubby had shrimp tacos, which he orders fairly often - and he reported they were the best he's ever had. They had more of a modern look if you will - like something you'd get at an upscale restaurant at home. We had a nice red wine by the glass, and finished with the coconut creme brulee, which was out of this world good! The service was top-notch and we vowed to return promptly next time we're in the area.

Met some friends for dinner at La Terracita. Called ahead to get a reservation for 6 upstairs. You don't want to eat downstairs as it is right on the street. Good service, delicious food. attractively served. Reasonable value. Highly recommend

A quaint place right on the street with small balcony seating space upstairs .A popular spot with both locals and tourists. Breakfast is outstanding. The enfrijoladas are the best in Zihua. And try the special juice drinks. My personal favorite is the Vampiro (beet ,carrot, celery, and orange). Dinner requires a reservation. The menu offers an updated take on the freshest available foods. Service is always friendly and prompt. For a change of scene, try their newly opened Terracita Beach which boasts the same delicious food with gorgeous views of the bay along with the sound of the surf. Can't better than that!!!

We ate there this evening with our family of 7.. The food was off the charts and it's not our first rodeo. The chef is trained professionally and the servers without peers. Our table ate everything from squid to rib steak and ate everything with appreciation for the care in preparation. Music resonated from the stree and we were amazed. The cost was very reasonable and we left wishing we could stay longer in Z just to eat here again. We wanted to lick the plates. Do yourself a favour and eat here. Best kept secret in Ixtapa/ Zihuatanejo but definatety not for long. Get a reservation and you will be rewarded. We have visited Z for 10 years but never have had a better dinner.
