    We had been curious to visit La Terraza since they opened, so before we went to Rich Farm up the street, we decided to check them out for dinner. The staff was kind, and there was plenty of seating on the main level, upstairs, and outside. One of the first things we were surprised to see was that they had only non-alcoholic options. We asked, and they said they're still trying to get their liquor license and that they're BYOB. I understand, but definitely a little bit of a draw back and unexpected from a Mexican restaurant. The menu had a lot of options, including breakfast which I'll have to keep in mind, and the food came out quickly. The guacamole was prepared table-side, and though nothing was bad, it just didn't beat our favorite in our hometown. I didn't find it to be super authentic tasting, and the rice and beans definitely lacked flavor. Good option to have in Oxford though.

    We were so excited to have a new restaurant open up in the old bakery spot and couldn't picture what a Mexican spot would look like in that space. I always wanted to try birria tacos so ordered those as an appetizer and it was excellent. For dinner my wife and I both got chimichangas, me Al pastor with green sauce, hers steak with red. Fillings in both were good, as were the sauces. But the burrito could have been fried a little longer, even accounting for the sauce they weren't very crispy. The rice and beans could have used some more flavor, maybe some hot sauce or something. Kids both got chicken quesadillas which again good filling, but could have been cooked a little longer. The outside of the tortilla was pretty white still. Overall I'm glad they are in town and hopefully they do well. Will certainly come back at some point.

    I love Mexican food, so I was excited to see this new addition open in Oxford. Casual atmosphere and friendly staff. Complimentary chips and salsa when you are seated. My boyfriend ordered the fajitas, and I was surprised to see they only came with rice and beans. Usually fajitas are served with cheese, and sour cream, guacamole and/or salsa, or other toppings. Sour cream is listed on the menu as a side for $2 and guacamole $5. Guacamole is usually an additional charge at most restaurants, but I was surprised to see sour cream as well. Especially since it is such a commonly ordered item. I got the Birria tacos, which were crispy, cheesy and flavorful. We ended the meal with churros which were delicious. *Of note, no liquor license yet, so only soft drinks and virgin pina coladas/margaritas are served.

    Al Pastor (pork) street tacos

    New place that made it through the 2024 flood (thankfully) and has been open now for a couple of months and we visited for the first time today! The street tacos are amazing - the Terraza version has chopped bacon wrapped shrimp, cheese, caramelized onions, cabbage pico and a delicious chipotle cream - probably the best street tacos I've ever had, and they kindly substituted flour tacos for me! The pork (Al pastor) - marinated in pineapple with salsa verde and a cilantro sauce on the side were a fabulous flavor combination and the enchiladas Suizas were very tasty and unique. The decor is lovely and colorful with flags hanging from the ceiling, a fireplace and a cool looking second floor! The hosts were friendly, welcoming, very much on top of everything in fact the only thing they weren't quick to do was take our money. We weren't sure if we were supposed to pay at the counter. This will definitely be a regular stop on our rotation ... oh and they do breakfast all day too!

    My husband and I decided to go for Mexican this evening and we happen to be in the Oxford area. We decided on this place because the outside looked appealing. When we entered, the decor was really pretty and festive. It definitely gave the vibes I believe it was going for. The music was also great. The service was also great. It got pretty busy however, our waitress was still very attentive. The reason I gave it three stars is because my husband and I agreed that the food was just OK. Most of it lacked flavor. The al pastor taco for example was not the best. It tasted like they just added the pineapples on top and did a quick mix. It wasn't really a combination of the meat and the pineapple an al Paso taco usually gives. I was not a fan of the corn tortillas at all as well. The churro was a bit dry maybe having it with a dipping sauce or ice cream would be a better combo. The rice and beans lacked flavor and this was honestly my least favorite chile relleno I've ever had. My husband enjoyed his torta. I unfortunately would not return here for food.

    Great find in Oxford. Very nice Mexican restaurant. The food was great, and service was excellent. We came in from out of town and stopped by for breakfast. The breakfast was excellent and full coffee espresso bar. Good prices, yummy food. Thank you

Pork dumplings, spicy edamame , spicy corn and chicken dumplings, braised beef ramen, Dan Dan mian , beef cheese cakes, red oil wonton. Oh man- service was on point, food was fire! Can't wait to come back and make another dent at the menu. This area needed some good ramen!

The development there has come a long way over the last few years, making it a great destination for a quick lunch or a sit-down dinner. Plus, having plenty of parking in a modern, well-maintained square is a massive win--no circling the block looking for a spot here. While the name promises "Bao," I haven't ventured into that side of the menu just yet. Why? Because the Ramen is too good to pass up. The Meat Soup (Ramen) is my go-to. The broth is rich, savory, and clearly made with care. It's the kind of "fantastic" comfort food you want on a chilly Connecticut day. The meat is tender and the portions are satisfying. If you're in the Oxford area and looking for authentic flavors in a clean, modern setting, this is the place. It's easy to get to, easy to park, and the soup never misses.

We had the Breakfast burrito (no eggs for me which was no issue and they offered sub tofu if you like!) with Longaniza sausage, homemade beans, avocado, home fries, cheese and more .... Fresh chips and salsa, triple tacos with a different filling in each, birria beef, carnitas and chicken tinga. She had to eat a bunch of meat to pick them up they were so loaded! And the most delicious home fries! I had the agua Fresca which was elderberry and lime and so delicious! They rotate flavors daily apparently! The place looks like nothing from the outside but wow!!!!! What a gem! We picked up take out for my hubby too and the whole check was only $62! The owners/servers were lovely, so welcoming and accommodating, this is definitely going to become a repeat spot for us! And there's a parking lot right next to it so no worries about that!

The place is small and is shaped like an old school diner, located in the corner of an intersection I've passed many times but never noticed the diner. The atmosphere was family friendly, clean, and fun to be in. The staff, which is family, were so sweet and attentive and right there when you needed them. I ordered their churro French toast and chilaquiles. The French toast is everything the hype around it is, and the chilaquiles, my first time trying them ever, were out of this world. The chips were covered in sauce but somehow still crispy, despite how long it took me to get through the dish. I got their freshly squeezed juice of the day which was beet based and I loved it. There is no doubt I'll be going back here, great food and great experience, thank you Agave !
