This place is overhype

The atmosphere, the kind people, the food... those are just a few reasons why I've raised my kids in Military City! Especially there. They're still growing up in that restaurant and they absolutely love the food!

[@connieflores7362]

I love Mi Tierra restaurant. They treat you like a guest. There Hospitality is outstanding. There food is delicious and there bakery the best. I have been going there for a lot of years. Its grown so much. Thank you for serving great food. And always making feel welcome.

Great memories working for Mi Tierra cafe back in 2005. as bus boy that was my first job, i was only 19 yrs old at that time now im 38yrs old .

In our way back to 🏡 home we stop for rest in a hotel. For pure luck we were a walkin distance from the restaurant, We got clothes all dirty, but they were very nice. Thanks.

I love San Antonio. It's always a struggle deciding where to spend more time--The Riverwalk or the Marketplace.

[@teddywestside4816]

Go to the Rim instead.

[@trisky210]

Love them both i hit them both in one day sometimes

[@tinsote7176]

The River Walk has more to offer than Market Square, but Market is still worth a few hours of your time, especially for Mi Tierra.

[@Joetrout]

Pearl has great restaurants. Botika amazing

[@ItsMissMargarita]

I respect her for saying it's not trying to be Mexican food but that It's it's own cuisine.

[@ramencurry6672]

It should be obvious. The reason why I visit San Antonio is for the Tex Mex food. If I want the real version I go to Mexico

I'm not trying to be rude or disrespectful when I say this. My wife and I had the enchilada dinner and it was not good. In their defense that was the only thing we tried . I would say also that the atmosphere was the best ever. I give that an A+. If we are ever able to get down that way again we'll try the fajitas or something. God bless you.

[@tommymartinez2266]

Ordered the fajita plate. And it looked like a combination plate with enchiladas. Small portion of fajitas. I was expecting sizzling. Atmosphere good. Food ,better off going to a whole in the wall

Mi Tierra is Tex Mex, not Mexican food and they’re pretty explicit about it. They do however have other restaurants that offer more authentic plates to Mexico proper. Try the Fish Filet plate at La Margarita during lunch hour. You’re welcome.

I’m from California and here in California we have great Mexican restaurant but when I went to San Antonio for a little vacation a lot of people talk about MI Tierra saying it was the greatest Mexican restaurant. So I went to try it out, turns out this place is overhype and overrated the food isn’t all that great is just ok but not worth the wait or the price. This place is mostly a tourist trap for people who don’t know what Mexican food is or how it taste like, the only good thing about this place is that it has some nice decorations but that’s it. Definitely not worth going back.

[@teddywestside4816]

M Lopez.... Either way it suks. Las Palapas is better and half tbe price.

[@jsant24]

There are thousands of other restaurants in San Antonio that I think serve better tasting and more authentic Mexican food than Mi Tierra. We locals don’t ever eat there. We leave that to the tourists. I’m sure it’s the same where you I’ve at too.

[@irmasimington1988]

Pretty plain and tasteless food, the bakery was mediocre, and the candy was pretty nasty 🤢

[@tinsote7176]

That’s because it’s not meant to be authentic Mexican food, it’s a Tex Mex cuisine unique to South Texas. If you want Mexican food, La Margarita (which is also owned by them) down the street has more authentic Mexican plates.

Videos like this channel and others like Texas Country Reporter has made this local restaurant a freaking tourist trap. Portions are meager and well over priced. It is less expensive that restaurants on the river walk but still over priced for what you get. The wait time is incredibly long and there are no reservations. This restaurant has operated in this location for decades and I recall a time where the wait was less than 5 minutes. Breakfast is the only time you can actually walk in and be seated as soon as you walk in the door. Otherwise, order Dominoes and have it delivered to your hotel room
