Terracotta

Perfectly friendly (without being obtrusive), attentive, professional service. Food was exceptional. Wine selection creative with excellent pairing suggestions from Marcos. Thank you, Marcos, and Terracotta for making my birthday dinner with my mom extra special. Do NOT miss the stuffed squash blossoms appetizer while it's on the menu!

Absolutely fantastic and worth every penny! We were passing through from out of town and looking for a dog friendly patio and this place was perfect. We had squash blossoms to start, I had the tomahawk pork, my husband had lamb, and we finished with a fabulous kiwi sorbet with fresh fruit. The patio was beautiful, the music was relaxing, the staff were friendly, the food was to die for, and they even brought a little water bowl for our dog. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone that will be in the area. It was a perfect date night location. My only complaint is that I don't have this in my home town.

Delicious starters/appetizers - we shared three. What really stood out was the beautiful presentation of the plates. So pretty we were hesitant to dig in and destroy their beauty. So glad we did though because it was the best food we'd had in all of our 10 day trip throughout Northern New Mexico. Service was brilliant and the lovely flower garden from the porch seating was enchanting. We work in the wine industry, so I can also say that the wine list had a lot of options to complement the menu. Had a cozy, relaxed atmosphere. Best go now before the word spreads and you can't get in.

Terracotta was an easy walk from our hotel close to the plaza. We sat on the front porch and the roses were beautiful making for such a pleasant atmosphere. The wine list was great and very reasonable. We ordered the crab cakes to start and they had such good flavors. Our favorite dish was the scallops and lobster tail. We finished with the kiwi desert and it was so unique and delicious. We were blown away with the presentation of the food, it is art. The staff was so friendly and we were very well taken care of.

Review for Terra-Cotta Restaurant Our dining experience at Terra-Cotta Restaurant was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable, making us feel welcomed and well cared for throughout the evening. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, enhanced by soft background music that perfectly complemented the cozy yet elegant setting. I dined with my cousins, and we each tried something different from the menu, which gave us a great opportunity to explore their culinary offerings. The presentation of each dish was outstanding, showcasing an incredible attention to detail—from the meticulous placement of baby carrots to the plates being thoughtfully warmed before serving. My cousin’s Caesar salad stood out with its unique presentation and delightful flavor. I opted for the farm duck breast, which was cooked to absolute perfection—moist, tender, and packed with wonderful flavors. One of my cousins had the ravioli, which she thoroughly enjoyed, and the other had the chicken, which was equally impressive. The wine list was also a highlight, offering an excellent selection of high-end options by the glass, allowing us to indulge without needing to commit to a full bottle. This was truly a lovely dining experience. Kudos to the new owners for creating such a remarkable restaurant. We highly recommend Terra-Cotta Restaurant and will definitely be returning in the future. Excellent, excellent job!

Our meal was perfect. We sat on the front porch surrounded by beautiful roses. The dishes we had were all beautiful and perfectly prepared. We shared the crab cake appetizer, had the scallops and tomahawk pork for entrees, and shared the kiwi sorbet for dessert. All were inventive and delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Excellent food - the squash blossoms and the lamb tagine were stand outs. Also, good wine list with many reasonably priced selections. The restaurant atmosphere is a good balance of cozy and elegant with cottage garden out front, back patio space for outdoor dining and intimate rooms and tables with white linen table clothes throughout.

Drove all the way up from Albuquerque. Amazing food. The duck is to die for. Desserts blew our minds. Coconut ice cream and kiwi sorbet are on another level. Wine bottle prices are very reasonable. I was in St Helena last week. This place goes head to head with those restaurants. Props to Chef Jose. The man is a genius
