Got here a little.too late as we drive into San Antonio and arrived here at 9:30 p.m. they close at 10:00 p.m. on a Sunday night, I wanted my husband to experiwnce even a quick trip to this historic restaurant which I love due to its very lively, Mexican decór , we just wanted a piece of tres leches and some coffee but were told no more coffee and no more tres leches :( I wished they would have at least tried to make a pot of coffee, since there was still enough time for that, but I know they were ready to go home. It was a bit of a let down, as we had asked the staff outside if there was still enough time for coffee and cake and they said Yes, that shoukd be fine, and we got down the baby and all and it was a cold night. Anyhow, the cheesecake piece we got and gelatina cup were okay, we had to take them to go. In Essence, the staff were kind and the panaderia section was on point with Many varieties of pastries, classics and innovative pastries and super Clean! Mi Tierra will always be iconic and I miss that it is no longer 24 hrs and that there were no longer the mariachis that used to linger around ready to play for aany table who wanted to have them serenade for a small fee. All in all, we will go back one day, just arrive earlier!

We enjoyed our experience here and it is an experience with the almost overwhelming decorations and the mariachi music. Our food was good. I had the carne enchilada platter and my wife had the chicken soft taco platter and we would both get those again. Chips and salsa were free and good.

Go with Ratings- The food here is authentic and really delicious. We honestly didn’t expect it, because the place was extremely crowded, so we assumed the taste might not be great. But we were wrong. Everything we tried was fresh and tasty. The live music and the overall vibe were nice, and the service was good too. Also, you should definitely try the Tres Leches milk cake. It’s the most authentic one I’ve found anywhere in Texas.

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.

This was the highlight of our trip to San Antonio when it comes to restaurants. What an experience! This place is a true gem and should be a must for anyone visiting San Antonio who wants authentic Mexican/ Tex Mex. The food was absolutely amazing and packed with flavor. I ate so much but I wanted to keep eating! I had the beef enchiladas and they were the best (by far) I have ever had. My wife and daughter were thoroughly impressed with their meals as well and agreed that this restaurant is IT! The bonus to this restaurant is that they have a bakery with modest pricing so that you can get a desert to go on your way out. We did so and were so happy that we did! The bakery goods are fantastic and if you have a sweet tooth you will most definitely want to get something for later 😊 I can't recommend this place enough and we will certainly be back when visiting the area in the future.

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!

Had a couple of restaurants to pick from and we chose this one. This was a great choice. The food was good and the service was great.. They did have live singers going around to tables playing their instrument and singing.. The vibes were great. They also had a bakery. The bakery had so many choices and everything looked delicious. I did not get anything from the bakery because I was so full from the great food we had in the restaurant. I will be returning here next time. I am in town.

We were in San Antonio for a day after some sightseeing wanted to grab lunch. They looked nice and with added bakery it was go time. We waited around 10 minutes for the table, but didn't mind since we just drooled at all the desserts. The appetizer itself was filling for 2 people and we only got one main course. The Puebla with mole sauce was very good. A little sweet and chicken was tender. Overall the experience was great.

For a classic institution in the El Mercado, it does not sit on its laurels as a well located venue in a tourist trap. The staff are welcoming and the food is awesome with generous portions. Beyond that, however, the ambiance is amazing- a burst of color in every direction, like being at a never ending fiesta. Also, the best Mexican Bakery I have been to outside of (or inside of?) Mexico!

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.
