Well it wasn’t amazing, indeed original but not real. Maybe for the unknown taste of Asians and most Europeans the restaurant could be seen as a Cosmopolitan venue to taste a set of dishes that in Latin America are very well known from south Mexico to Argentina.
I order a octopus Ceviche, not that I cheer for Germany on the world cup final, It was funny to taste on every bite the boiled water use to cook it instead of the proper combination of Lemon juice and spices but its ok I can do it at home, I do have the time and space to leave it overnight in the fridge to acquire the proper taste... lets leave it there.
Next I got Chicken Empanadas, which look felt and taste more like a cheddar samusas than a proper oven made Empanada, which I grant you, take time to make but come on...! I can’t see the word empanada and not remember my grandmother coming home and putting everybody to help her cook them, for those who know how to make Santeñas you know what I am talking about... again lets leave it there.
And even when I did had a main dish some meat with tomatoes and a kind of soy sauce base, with the two previous dishes I got my picture about what Terra was all about, its sad cause it does not represent the Latin taste and care to prepare food.
Don’t get me wrong the food is eatable but it does not stand to the expectation of someone that does not get lost in translation. Knowing what you need to do to prepare this dishes I can tell you none of them are meant for fine dinning but at the same time I think they should not be advertised if they are not going to be made properly.
Good service, a little bit pricy but ok and nice environment.
