    We loved Terra Cotta. The service was great and the menu had so many great selections that we had a hard time deciding what to order. We were not disappointed. I cannot remember the name of the dish I had but it was shrimp with pineapple, mushrooms, green peppers and onions with melted cheese and rice and it was delicious. My husband had a beef dish with tortillas and enjoyed it as well. We would definitely come back to this restaurant and would recommend making a reservation.

    One of the very few places I give 5 stars to, not because it was a super luxurious place but because everything was good. Good food, nice place, friendly service and all at really good price. It's definitely, definitely a great place to have a good meal with some kind people.

    Terra Cotta is a lovely spot in Huatulco with a welcoming atmosphere and a menu that has something for everyone. The location is convenient, and the ambiance makes it a nice place to linger over a meal. We really enjoyed our lunch here — the food was fresh and flavorful, and the frozen margaritas were the best we’ve had in Huatulco. Also passion fruit teas leches cake was so good!!!! The atmosphere is very pleasant and relaxing. Breakfast, however, didn’t impress us as much compared to lunch. Overall, still a great spot worth visiting, especially for a midday meal and drinks.

    Wonderful food, service and ambiance. We're sad that we only ate here for dinner on our last night before going home as we would come back many more times if we could. Highly recommend! Great margaritas and everything we ate was extremely delicious and great value. The quality, service, presentation and everything else was far beyond any other place we ate at in Huatulco.
