Still our go-to for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They've ruined us for Chilaquiles - we won't eat them anywhere but here! Chorizo breakfast burritos are a favorite with the kids - lean and full of flavor. My two littlest love the Carne Asada. The Mojarra Frita is very satisfying. Honestly, haven't had anything we didn't like. We've brought many friends to this family-owned hole in the wall, and all give us side-eye ... until their first bites. Then they're converts, too. read more

I always enjoy their soups and tacos! Everytime I've come here it's always been tasty.

Excellent Mexican food! And very reasonable prices too. It's even cheaper if you pay with cash.

Don't sleep on Asi! We used to live around near by and would be in two to three times a week! we now live about 30 min away and still drive over! The best salsa ever! I have never been disappointed by anything on the menu! read more

I grew up on Mexican This place is close to my heart. I even asked the waiter if my Mother or Grandmother were cooking. It was great!!! homemade food from scratch. It brought a tear to my eyes truly. I have gone back 3 more times with my granddaughters and they love it as well. read more

This is probably my favorite Mexican restaurant. Has been opened for years. Family owned and operated. You come in a pick an empty table. They give you chips and salsa. Food is very authentic and made from scratch. I got the cheese enchiladas served with rice and beans. The enchiladas are perfect not too greasy and not over sauced. The environment is very comfortable. read more

Asi Es Mi Tierra - Two cheese enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Best Mexican food in the east valley! Worth the 20 min drive! Can't go wrong with the enchiladas and fajitas!!!!

I like this place a lot. It is really home style authentic food. No frills but very good. Prices are very reasonable and the staff are timely and helpful. Good place. read more

First time here, it won't be my last. So goooood. Had the sweet corn tamale, authentic and delicious. Chicken taco was really good too. Located in a strip mall, don't let that deter you. They have a juke box too!!! read more

They close at 6 pm daily now, this family run business seems to have lost their ambition and are just going through the motions now. This restaurant was once a gem. read more

Good food! Smaller portions, as reflected by the price. But just right to keep from overeating.

We started going here years after my first review. We actually liked it, at first. But then the food changed ( not for the better) and they ran out of chips, etc and we were not treated very well. We were regulars but they acted like they didn't recognize us. So we quit going they need to treat everyone well so they come back- not as a bother. read more

Authentic Mexican food. Good prices, good service. We will be back! The fajitas were sizzling and the beer was cold.

While on a trip to see my grandparents, we went to Asi Es Mi Tierra for a quick bite to eat. The food is typical for a small mexican restaurant, but the quality and taste is top notch for the price. I had a 2 dish plate with a chicken enchilada and a beef tamale. The tamale was delicious, with pretty much a 50:50 ratio of corn exterior to beef filling. The chicken on the enchilada was breast meat, and it came with beans and rice. My grandma had a taco salad, and the shell was fried just right. I didn't taste the fillings, but it looked like it used the same beef as the tamale. Also, they have tamarindo juice, which not a lot of places seem to offer. The meal cost about $13, and I will probably suggest the place to my grandparents the next time I am in town. read more

We have been coming here for more than 10 years and the food is fantastic. Our favorite is the chorizo and eggs it doesn't get better than this! Homemade tortillas, chips and salsa start every meal. The carne asada and the whole fish dinner so good! Great food priced right! read more

How could I not have known this place was down the street??? Asi es my Tierra is located at the east end of Lipovec Plaza, next to Jacob's Carneceria. The hours are horrible, which really is the only bad thing. During the week, they close at 5, so you can't even go in for dinner. Weekends are 8 or 9. This is a small place that is family owned and operated. The menu is small, but includes some seafood and packs lots of different flavors. The pork tamales are decent, as are the beef tacos. The rice and beans are perfect. The pollo en mole was the best! Tortillas accompanying the food were fresh, homemade and free-flowing. The Carne Asada was hot and flavorful. We enjoyed the chips and homemade salsa so much, we ordered a cup of salsa to go! I also thought that the Jamaica beverage was good - not too sugary or overpowering. ..just right. The bill came and was around $25 for dinner with some salsa to go, so very affordable. Take out us also convenient! We will certainly be back! read more

Asi Es Mi Tierra - Chips and salsa. The salsa here is fantastic. - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I would give 5 stars based on food only, but I am also rating decor. A very friendly family owned and operated place. Tables & Chairs are a bit old, but everything is very clean. The Mother, Father or Adult Children are the people serving and preparing your food. It is truly from their family to you and your's. Shrimp cocktail (de cameron) is great! The shrimp octopus cocktail is even better. Taco de Carne Asada ( Steak) or Taco de Lungua with pico de gallo are superb. Caldo de Res ( Beef SOUP) is too die 4. Everything is made to order. If you like heat try the Camarones a La Diabla (Deviled Shrimp). They Serve Beer & Hard Liquor. I have been going to Asi Es My Tierra for many years now, and have never walked out unhappy with my food or service. R. Read read more

I have gone here for 13 years. So I'm super shocked to see some negative reviews. People discussing hosts must be going to a different restaurant. The place feels and looks authentic. You seat yourself and the staff is very friendly. It's family owned and they make you feel like part of their family. So much so, that the staff takes interest in my family and I's lives and us in theirs and we're on first name basis as we are regulars every week. The food is great. My dad, a Mexico native, can be very picky about Mexican food. However, he loves their food and he himself says it reminds him of home. Anything I've gotten there has been great. They have great fajitas, enchiladas, tamales, fish, shrimp, anything. There's bottomless chips and salsa. All fresh and homemade. This place and the people are honestly so special to me. I would recommend anyone stop by and try it. While it doesn't look like it, it's the best Mexican food in the area. read more

Wow. What a find. We had dinner here last night and it was fantastic. The food was expertly seasoned and flavorful, the service was spot on, and the prices were (quite frankly) probably too low for the value received. I can't wait to go back as I have already identified several other dishes I need to try. They have everything from breakfast to dinner - and it all looks good. read more

We tried this place because of all the good Yelp reviews. Wow are they wrong! I can think of a dozen better Mexican restaurants in the Valley. The food was bland and not flavorful at all. Their red sause tasted like thin tomato soup. The meat in the Chile Colorado was tough. And they were out of chips! At lunch time on a Saturday! What kind of Mexican restaurant runs out of chips? Poor management. The atmosphere is pretty grungy in a sad, run down strip mall. And that would be OK if the food was any good. The server was friendly enough, which is the only reason I'm giving this 2 stars instead of 1. read more

So disappointing, the salsa literally had no flavor or heat at all, tasted like tomato sauce. Husband had shrimp in what was watered down Catsup. Carne Asada was nothing special at all, enchilada was awful, the cheese smelled bad and again the sauce was tomato sauce. Pretty hard to screw up an enchilada. They must buy tomato sauce in bulk. Not authentic at all. This place does not even deserve 1 star. read more

This is by far the best authentic Mexican experience I have had since living in Arizona. Truly a magnificent find and a must for enthusiasts of this cuisine. If it is great food you are looking for, search no further. An advocate of family run restaurants, this is up there for the food and the warmth of the family. Mom and Dad Maria and Rafael Casillas along with children Rafael, Maria, Jose and Mario dedicate their time and contribute to the success of this place. Most of the recipes have been passed down from Maria's Mom, Abuelita Christina, who hails from Guadalajara. The name of the Restaurant translates to "This is My Land," so named so that this wonderful family could honor and share their culture and traditions. If you ask each family member what their favorite dish is, there is hesitation because they cannot choose just one. I have to agree, it is that good. The biggest sellers are the shrimp dishes. Cocktel de Cameron(Mexican Shrimp Cocktail) is available in two sizes and ridiculously priced at $6.95 and $12.95. Both seem endless. Try the Shrimp and Octopus Cocktail. One of my all time favorite's is the Tostada De Ceviche De Cameron or Shrimp Tostada. If you like shrimp and lime, this is your Appetizer at $1.95! Several shrimp entrees to choose from with many different sauces and all priced at a very modest $8.95. Enjoy a Mojarra Frita(Whole Fried Tilapia) for only $9.95. One of the most popular Soups or Sopa is Siete Marez . It includes fish, octopus. shrimp, clams, crab and more. $11.95 Other Sopas served are Shrimp, Fish and Meatball. Menudo is served on Saturday and Sunday. $4.95 - $8.95. Traditional Mexican Fare and combos such as Enchiladas, Tacos Frito, Flautas, Tamales, Burritos and a variety of Tortas are available but a must try is the Taco Tray, claiming to serve 4 people and priced at $19.95. I guarantee that you will have leftovers. Choose from ground and shredded beef, steak, pork and chicken along with the standard accompaniments and rice and beans, served in a nifty round tray with individual compartments. Other entrees include Carne Asada, Steak Picado, Chile Verde, Carnitas, Barbcoa, Pollo En Mole - just too many to list. The Salsa Verde is the best I have tasted and they will even make it with shrimp or chicken instead of pork, if you so desire. $4.95 - $9.95 in the two aforementioned categories. I could not end this review without a mention of the full bar and many beverages. Asi offers a large selection of tequila's, liqueur's, great and multi-flavored Margarita's, Pina Colada's, Bloody Mary's, Chi- Chi's, Tequila Sunrises, Martinez's and Red Hawaiians. Average price - $3.50! If beer is your thing, there is a large selection of domestic and imported beers, starting at $2.50. Banana, strawberry, chocolate and vanilla shakes are also offered at $2.50. Ask for traditional Mexican drinks like Tamarindo or a Jamaica. Horchata, a Mexican Rice Drink is served on weekends. Breakfast is served from 9 - 11 am Asi is open from 9 am - 8pm except for Wednesday when it closes at 5. read more

OMG! This place is absolutely awesome! Everything we ordered was simply outstanding and the service was excellent! We had queso with chorizo for an appetizer and then Enchilada Oaxaca and Carne Asada for entrees. Everything was perfectly seasoned and exceeded our expectations. The mole sauce on the Enchilada Oaxaca was the best I can remember. The menu is pleasantly extensive, but our order tonight was so good it'll be hard not to repeat :) The portions were ample and the prices about half what they should probably be. My girlfriend and I eat out quite a bit ..,and we can never remember a meal out in which we both took our first bite and laughed because it was so good. We will certainly be coming back sooner rather than later. My advice is to visit this place as soon as possible ...the experience was exactly the authentic local Mexican place we've been looking for ...this place is food porn. read more

This is not your American Mexican food, this is the real Mexican food! We do not eat out Mexican too often since we are Mexican-American, but two busy nights in a row we were too busy to cook. We tried Asi Es My Tierra after a clear miss with another place that served canned beans and canned enchilada sauce. Asi Es My Tierra, the guacamole, rice, enchilada sauce, everything was topnotch and I would assumed not overly processed canned food. The prices are excellent, and we will return for more on "lazy" nights. read more

Beats anything in AJ. Nice, hidden away. Mexican comfort food. Great food when ya just wanna eat cause your hungry food. Nothing fancy, but yummy good. Started out slow with the three item combo plate for $7.50. How good could it be?? It was delightful. Got the chili relleno, taco and tamale. Just like mama would have made if she was a little Mexican lady. The young man that served us was very polite and our food arrived in a timely manner. Now let's talk margaritas.....these are no wimpy margaritas. These will put hair on your chest. We will be back and we are bringing relatives. Great find. read more

Gave this place a try due to other yelp reviews. I was not dissappointed! What they lack in decor they make up on food. For $24 my husband and I had chips and salsa, 2 big chimichangas, drinks, and I also had a marguerita. read more

Worth a try Thought I didn't absolutely love it, tastes vary and - like most Mexican restaurants - Asi Es My Tierra is worth a try. Their food is good and prices are reasonable. The service was excellent. read more

I called at 6:37pm and they are closed despite all apps stating closing time at 8pm. Luckily I called ahead since I wanted to place a to-go order. This place is so great but I am definitely frustrated just like other reviewers. read more

This place really does have reAlly good authentic food! The prices are amazing. The place feels dirty and the decor is old faded and worn. It's worth the risk if you want real Mexican food! read more

Absolutely delicious every time we are there. The best Mexican food in the Apache Junction area.

Was really hoping to like this place as we are always on the hunt for good food and friendly local establishments......this is not it

The hard shell on the taco was almost painful to eat it was so stale. The beans and enchilada sauce obviously from a can. The tamales from Costco. The rice has been reheated so much it no longer resembles rice. The shredded beef was dry like jerky with no flavor. Where is all the good Mexican food here? read more

If you want a fancy fake Mexican restaurant then don't come here. This place is as mom and pop as they come. The restaurant is decorated very simple, it has a home feeling to it. You feel like you're eating in a Mexican home kitchen. I was impressed that they hand make their Hochata, not many Mexican restaurants make their own. A lot of them use premade. I had the Menudo it had good flavor, it could have used a little more red chili sauce. But that's just me. The prices are very very reasonable. The staff is very friendly. I'll come back here again read more

Excellent little place to grab some amazing Mexican food. From the shrimp cocktail the combos to the barbacoa, the food we had was all excellent. Great menu with lots of choices. Simple decor and its in an older strip mall so don't expect anything fancy but it's totally worth it as the food and prices rock! Will be going back many times. read more

Good food and service Had rellenos shredded Beef tacos and a cheese enchalda. All were great! Remindes us of Rocky point... read more

It's a bit divey, but tortillas are fresh, food is simple, and they have great prices to match. We were able to get chicken fajitas, 3-piece combo, chicken quesadilla, and chips with guacamole for $30. I wish they had more variety for hot sauce, but for value this place was great! read more

This is the most underrated place in the valley. Delicious food, phenomenal molcajete salsa, and amazing prices. I've been coming here for years and will continue to do so. read more

My favorite new Mexican food place!! I'm not one for spicy food, but I love good flavor and this place did not disappoint. Salsa and hot chips were delivered with our menus. I got a chicken chimi. It came with beans, rice, guacamole, lettuce, and sour cream (red or green sauce if you want it). Portions were great. Food was hot and fresh. Service was quick. This places appears to be family owned and the people were friendly. read more

Just a basic mexican food place, nothing special. Food is bland needs more seasoning. Maby they tone it down for the winter visitors.
