乐天的静Although this is more of a fast food type outlet, the food was tasty, the portions were large, the service was quick and competent, and it was great value for money. They also have big screen TVs which was welcome during the World Cup. Great for hungry people!

乐天的静Great restaurant! Very good meat and very professional service - we return every time we are in Montevideo and have never been disappointed. A very good wine too. Last time we took our 90 year old mother to visit and she enjoyed being looked after and cared for. Thank you!

乐天的静It's in the food court of a shopping mall but the meat is as good as any restaurant. I found the service in the restaurant to be attentive and more casual. If you decide to go for lunch specifically, sit in the food area, the food looks rushed and not that fresh. You get what you get when you sit there. I recommend sitting inside unless you are in a hurry.

乐天的静It was Sunday and most restaurants were closed so we were happy to see this gorgeous restaurant around the corner from where we were staying. We have been living in Uruguay for a few weeks and have kind of moved on to the meat-eating life. So we were happy to find fish and my wife went for the fresh handmade pancetta with green sauce which was delicious. My fish was grilled with the skin on and served on the grill iron. Juicy and just cooked through. Was great with a simple salad. Service was good and the wine was good. Can't go wrong. 10/10

乐天的静We had friends and family over to Terra Cota for lunch and everyone had a blast. Everyone wants to do it again. The staff was nice and the cooking was very attentive and accommodating to the needs of some friends. We would have liked to have stayed an extra hour and had some coffee, tea and dry biscuits... hopefully we can stay an extra hour next time.

乐天的静We came here for lunch after a long trip and we got what we wanted - good food, good variety, fast service and cool atmosphere. All crepes are $290 each. The portion may not fill hunger though. The walnut burrito is delicious. Highly recommended.

乐天的静We ordered grilled shrimp, salmon and paella. The food was amazing, the best salmon I have ever had in my life. Very flavorful and not dry. The shrimp were also very good and not greasy and my wife loved the paella. I think this place is not well known to tourists as I have only seen locals. We paid $50 for the quality of food which was not expensive, very fresh and well cooked.
