"I made an appointment for 8:15pm but when we got to the restaurant, they were closed. Luckily I live close by, but my boyfriend and I were extremely disappointed as this was the second time in one week we tried to go here for dinner."

"Was visiting the New Brunswick area and wanted to dine at an independent restaurant and wanted a Latin flair. Casa la terrassa was perfect! The food was excellent, the portions generous and the price was reasonable. The service was also very good. I highly recommend this restaurant."

"Three of us shared a dinner of tapas and appetizers, and all the dishes were quite good. The avocado bruschetta and tuna seviche were outstanding. Quite inexpensive and BYOB. Not very busy for a Saturday night, but the location outside the downtown eatery area may be the reason."

"The outside of the restaurant is nothing to speak of... I don't believe they even have a sign. The service, however, is EXCELLENT. We left thinking that our waiter owned the place! The food was very good too. There were only two other patrons at the restaurant, and my guess is that they would fair much better if they had proper signage. Would definitely go there again."

"We decided to go there in a group and try it out because we like latin food and an added plus was that is it BYOB. We had a great experience, the food was great and the owners very hands on. came over to talk to us and very accomodating to anything we needed. Definitely will go back."

"All of the dishes that we tried were very good. Especially the Calamari, the short ribs and the pork tapas. The empanada and the guacomole brushetta were very good but we would not order those dishes again. We had one main dish the skirt steak. It was very tasty. The staff is very friendly and accomidating. Our waiter Sal was constantly refilling our water glasses. If you bring wine, he will make a very good sangria for you. The kitchen was a little slow. So I would not go and expect to get a quick meal and rush out. We will definitely return and try some of the other dishes."
