Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

Come here every few weeks to meet with my dad and Erica A is always wonderful. She remembers our order and is polite and attentive. Her service as well as the food and art keep us coming back here regularly for years! Salsa is also really good!

Everything is solid. Food good especially the carnitas taco with pineapple...the fried chicken taco was a bit tough and stringy, meat wise. Got the two taco combo with rice and beans, the beans were whole black beans and the rice was fluffy, but it seemed like half portions as they were served in a smallish container and yet the price was $17.00...tacos were $6 per...that's two for $12, meaning the beans and rice were $5?? It was visually underwhelming even though I was satisfied and full after polishing off all the food on my plate. Still it would have been nicer to have more rice and beans, just sayin'....the cafelike atmosphere is nice and artfully decorated...the place has an open spacious lowkey vibe, clean and midern... one area to the left is open to the parking lot and has an outdoors al fresco vibe but on a windy nite, we gravitated to the main dining area...nice bar area with lots of seating around the curving bar ....ive passed by many times on the way to the nearby Theatre of Note and wanted to try this place...now not likely to return since my curiosity is sated... If I lived closer, I would stop in again.

It was my first time visiting Terjos. I had seen the restaurant featured many times on social media, so I went in with very high expectations. Unfortunately, the experience fell short in several ways. The food arrived cold and lacked any real flavor, which made the dishes far less enjoyable than I had hoped. The meat, in particular, was extremely dry, and that was especially disappointing given how highly the place is promoted online. Overall, it was not the experience I was expecting, and I left feeling quite let down. I might go again , not for the good but to get a Tshirt
