Terraza Waterfront Cafe coming to Riverstone

Authentic Latin American cuisine will be featured at the Terraza Waterfront Cafe under construction at 1950 Bellerive Lane (just west of Le Peep Cafe) in Riverstone.

The exhibition kitchen will boast Southern Mexico and Central American dishes with fresh fruits and vegetables, fish and grilled meats. Beverages will include signature cocktails, locally brewed beers and wines from South America, Spain and the Pacific Northwest.

"Terraza" means "terrace" as the place will feature a large deck above the Spokane River and inside tables that will combine to sit 110 customers.

Owner Doug Johnson and General Manager Frank Cruz-Aedo plan to open the place this spring for lunch and dinner daily and brunch on weekends. Check www.terrazacda.com.
