"It was a cold evening and I fancied a spicy, hot meal ... and Mezcal caught my eye, just across the street. Staff were welcoming and I was able to sit anywhere as the place wasn't very busy. The food and drinks menu is fairly typical of a Mexican restaurant. As soon as I ordered, two young children at a nearby table started to play up, shouting and jumping on chairs. The parents were hopeless, presumably thinking their children have a right to spoil everyone else's dining experience. The children then began running around the tables, shouting and screaming. The older child pushed a younger child over deliberately, but still nothing said by the parents. While this is not a fault of the restaurant, they lost at least two people who came in, but then thought better of it when they saw these out of control children creating havoc. My food arrived, it was barely warm and not particularly tasty. A glass of white wine was also served warm. Service was pleasant, but really slow, so goodness knows what it would be like if the place was busy. But maybe it never will be, I certainly won't be going back."

Great atmosphere where you get to forget for a night that you are in London! We loved the cocktails made by Elisabeth who is the lovely owner of this little and cozy mexican bar and restaurant! We will definitely come back to try the rest of the delicious looking cocktail, food menu and mezcal of course! :

This is the worst takeaway I 've ever had. If anyone thinks that 12.70 is an appropriate amount to pay for 3 tiny corn tortillas and a tupperware of sloppy roast veg (this apparently is a 'fajita ')then this is your place. Not only that, but after a complaint and a reorder, the exact same bland and incomplete order arrived. Appalling. Genuinely the worst takeaway i have ever had in my entire life.

This was hands down the worst Mexican food i’ve ever had. My order came wrong twice and the food we did receive was soggy, bland and drastically overpriced. Even the guacamole was terrible- it wasn’t even mashed!? Also there was a whole huge red chilli in the burrito. The ingredients were of such poor quality. Our orders never came correctly. The restaurant didn’t respond when I tried to call them and I really resent paying anything for it.

No wonder there are so many different reviews it's such a varied place. Loud lively music, and clearly Latin families having a lot of fun! Excellent cocktails and bottled beers (short South American list and Mexican spirits.But... had to wait ages to be served. I mean really ages. I mean if i wasn't being plied with exceptional booze and lively music, I probably would have left, ages!Then when the food came it was pretty meh to be honest. Okay, but not as good as the surroundings (there's a nice atmosphere there or aforementioned drinks.But I've still given the 4 out of 5 because I had such a nice time there. If only it was a family friendly bar with snacks, rather than a (misfiring restaura...

I've never written a one star review before, but I am really disappointed/angry with my experience here. Visited with a friend as we thought it looked quirky and fairly busy. It took ten minutes for our order to be taken. Ten minutes later the waiter came back as he'd forgotten the order and our wine wasn't available. We were annoyed but these things happen. We ordered two large starters to share, nachos and tacos, which took 50 minutes to arrive. Both average. The toilets had no where to dry your hands and the handwash was watered down. This is OK for a household but it makes me question the cleanliness of a business serving food. Upon receiving the bill I requested the service charge to be...

"There could not have been a much better way to get my 2022 Michelin Star year up and running than with an absolutely fabulous lunch at Da Terra. The food with some new dishes and redesigned old ones was amazing , the wine pairings from sommelier Maria were perfect and the service was impeccable as always. We’ve had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant from the beginning three years ago through to the two michelin stars they have now but I would have to say that this visit just about tops them all. On saturday we arrived at Bethnal Green station and took the short walk to the town hall where you will find Da Terra. A warm welcome awaited from Jasmin before she escorted us to our now customary Table 10. Once seated over came manager Charlie for a nice chat and to offer us a complimentary glass of bubbles to welcome us back. Now to the menu where there is a choice of three tasting menu’s to which we opted for the long ten course. We started things of with the fabulous and refreshing amuse bouche called the Caipirinha based on the brazilian cocktail. This led us to a selection of snacks that were simply delicious. A Cod Croquette , Beef Tacos , Taleggio Doughnut and a fabulous New Scallop Cup. Before we moved onto our first course it was time to select some wine to pair with the menu and I have to say that sommelier Maria came up with an absolute beauty. The Robert Sinskey 2016 Pinot Noir from the Napa Valley in California was light and fruity and just a sublime pairing. So now to start the menu of we enjoyed a stunning Arctic Char with houghton springs , courgette tucupi. This was followed by the Custard with mussel , sake kasu , trout roe , seaweed and accompanied with sea lettuce crackers that was easily one of the best dishes I’ve eaten at Da Terra. Next to arrive was the famous Chicken which had been revamped and personally I thought it was the best version to date. It came with wings , liver , feet , egg yolk onion. Now it was time for the Bread course featuring sourdough along with bone marrow and three types of butter. This led us to the Moqueca a fantastic brazilian fish stew with wild turbot , palm heart farofa and accompanied with chillies to just add a little heat to the dish. We now moved to the meat dishes which started with the fabulous Raviolo of duck , whey , watercress and smoked duck charcuterie. Then it was time for the Hereford Short Rib with crosnes , cassava , chimichurri and heavenly veal sweetbread salad. These were just another two superlative dishes to add to what we’d enjoyed throughout our lunch. Next to arrive was the cheese course called Romeo and Juliette with a goat’s cheese topped with a guava gel and a fennel cracker. This led us to the Baba with cahaca , pistachio and kaluga before finishing with the dessert of Yorkshire Forced Rhubarb with coconut and twenty five year old balsamic. I have to say the addition of coconut really enhanced this dessert to the next level. We finished with coffee , petit fours and a digestive from their drinks trolley to bring to end another outstanding visit to Da Terra. The food under the inspiration of Rafael , Mark and all the team with the combination of new and revamped dishes was simply stunning. The wine pairings from sommelier Maria were a absolute delight and the service led by manager Charlie was first class. A visit to this restaurant really is a must especially with it’s brazilian influence that your unlikely to experience anywhere else. I really can’t wait to plan my next visit. Thank You Rafael , Charlie , Mark , Maria and all the team for a truly fabulous dining experience and look forward to seeing you all again soon."
