Mi Tierra Cafe y Panaderia

The service was fast, friendly, and helpful when we asked questions. The restaurant has a lot of decorations, it was fun to walk and look around. There's also option live music, they walk around and will ask if we want music. The food was good. The beef was tasty and juicy, but the pork was dry and a bit lacking in flavor. The tortillas were fresh and delicious. Make sure to visit the bakery. We only tried the pineapple empanadas, it was amazing. The other options also looked delicious.

Mi Tierra’s is a very large, extravagant Mexican restaurant. The restaurant is enormous and every square inch is decorated with special artwork and lights. This place is extremely popular, as there was a 30 minute wait for an early dinner on a Monday night. For the menu, they have a pretty large selection, and I ordered the Mexican dinner, which consisted of a cheese enchilada, crispy beef taco, tamal Spanish rice, and refried beans. I also ordered nachos for an appetizer. Everything tasted amazing. The waitress was also very friendly and the service was great. The overall ambiance is incredible with all the decorations and mariachi singers going table to table to perform. Beyond the restaurant itself, there is a very popular bakery attached, though I did not try it myself. I really enjoyed my dinner experience and highly recommend Mi Tierra’s Cafe.

When we walked in the atmosphere was fabolous! The decor was maximalist & we loved it! There was a 50 minute wait. Thankfully the markets made the 50 minute wait enjoyable! Once we were seated it took a while for the waitress to come to our table but it was busy! We ordered a small cheese dip & when the chips finally arrived it was one small salsa for four people which were not use to. During the whole visit we only got one more thing of chips which we had to ask for & only one refill of drinks which she returned with no straws. The food was really good. Our only complaint is the whole chips & salsa thing which is a big deal to us when eating at a Mexican restaurant and is the reason for 4 stars. For four people it was $101.21 then we also spend money buying sweet treats on our way out. We enjoyed it. The atmosphere is the best!

I recently revisited Mi Tierra after about five years, and unfortunately, it’s not the gem it used to be. I was really looking forward to their beef fajitas, but when my plate arrived, it had maybe four ounces of fajitas total, barely enough for one taco. For a $26 plate, that’s just not acceptable. My husband ordered quesadillas and asked if they could be made with corn tortillas. At first, the server said yes, but then came back saying the cooks refused to do it. For a Mexican restaurant, that’s a bit surprising. On a positive note, my son had the fish and chips, and those were actually pretty tasty. The portion sizes overall, though, just weren’t worth the price. My husband’s pork ribs were tasty but not grilled as advertised, they were baked. Mi Tierra has unfortunately gone downhill. It used to be a favorite, but now it feels more like a tourist trap that doesn’t live up to its past reputation. For the price we paid (about $100 for three people) the portions and the service just weren’t worth it. It’s a shame, but we probably won’t be returning anytime soon.

My family and I stopped by for dinner after visiting St. Therese the Little Flower Basilica to have our children experience the food and amazing atmosphere at Mi Tierra as part of our adventure for All Saint’s Day. Upon entering you could hear the tableside mariachi musicians in the background serenading patrons. The front section was beautifully decorated for Dia de los Muertos as we entered and we were greeted by friendly staff. Our wait was 20 minutes and were notified via text both soon before our table was ready in case we left the premises to explore (we went to the plaza to check out the live music and people dancing) and right when it was ready. We were swiftly brought to our seats. Chips and salsa were served immediately. The chips were warm, thin and crispy and the salsa had a wonderful kick. Our server gave us no pressure to place our drink, appetizer and meal orders quickly but did check on us frequently in case we needed her. The queso flameado was a cheese pull dish topped with chorizo and served with a side of fresh homemade flour tortillas. My son ordered the kids’ enchiladas, I ordered the Tacos del Mercado, and my husband got the Poblano Dinner. Portions were decent and with the chips and salsa and appetizer, we ended up taking half our meals home for the next day. We stopped at the bakery counter on the way out to get some dessert/next day’s breakfast and got an assortment of breads and jello. Everything was great quality and tasted fresh. You could taste the spices used to make the pan dulce, it wasn’t just filled with sugar. We highly recommend Mi Tierra to anyone wanting a festive and vibrant experience for your tastes and sights!
