    Came here for a quick work lunch. It's been a while, but I remember it not being bad. First, I'm very pleasantly surprised by how quick the drive thru went. I mean they could give most fast food places a run for their money. Efficient! Kept it simple with the birria fries, and the carnitas plate. I will say this, for the price and quickness the fries were amazing! I mean it won't hold a candle to Mexican Cowboy, but a cheaper version that doesn't taste too shabby. The birria was tender and flavorful, just wish it was more soaked in the consume. The carnitas were just ok. They were a little dry. Also not a big fan of this style of beans. Other than that it's very affordable and a ten times better place than taco cabana. Have had other plates in the past and the fajitas are also pretty good! Will bring fam here soon. Interested to get their opinion as well!

    Monday through Friday lunch specials 11-3 includes a huge tea. After 3 lunch specials are $1 more. They offer two different lunch specials per day and you can select the meat on the mini tacos and quesadillas. Drive through is fast. They deliver. No dine in. Charro beans are the best. They provide three different salsas. Everyday taco specials are $2 chicken fajita $1.50 carnitas and $1 bean and cheese

    Their 3 taco special. Meat was ok, but I left nothing on the plate :-)

    This is a solid spot for your fajita fix! I used them for a party I had and their fajitas and carnitas were a hit. You will have to set it out to present it nicely but the flavors are great. Love their unsweetened iced tea. I get a large and can get 3 servings out of it. It's bomb with a squirt of crystal light. I always get a side of pico de gallo and enjoy the 1lb mixed fajita that come with tortillas rice beans and salad for my family of 4 Their hard tacos were ok, but I'll be back for my fajitas, carnitas, and fajita salad!

    Birria Fries

    The fries are the only food I get from here! Unless sometimes I order breakfast tacos! Which are good too! The fries have always been fresh they hook you up with a lot of meat and cheese which makes the fries a lil soggy after sitting so must eat as soon as you grab these bad boys! But other than that I always go through the drive thru. The inside is pretty small! Tres leches cake is amazing as well! As far as drive thru goes it could be fast but usually takes a good minute since the food is fresh!

    First time coming here. Decent amount of food. I got the Beef Fajita plate. Enough food for 2 big tacos and then some. The flour tortillas are BIG compared to other places down the road. The boracho beans were flavorful and not super salty. Rice was good as well. If you're in mood for some quick Mexican food I'd recommend here over Las Palapas.

    I usually order breakfast tacos from Fajita Express. This time I ordered the chicken fajita plate. Wow! Delicious the rice, beans and tortillas were on point as well. And it was a lot of food too! I split the one plate up over THREE MEALS

Having grown up in San Antonio, I have literally been to Mi Tierra's 100s of times. When you walk into the restaurant you experience immediate sensory overload (so much to see where it is hard to focus)...papel picado strung everywhere...in different colors...in different textures...metallic and paper...wow wow wow!!! In addition, there are artful configurations clustered with lots of color and spiritual references highlighting the Mexican American culture. Also, there are pinatas strung from the ceiling in metallic colors, which is a bit unusual for pinatas (usually made from paper). The restaurant also has stained glass windows and a mural. On this particular occasion, I was in the restaurant for bakery goods. Mi Tierra specializes in Mexican pastries. It looked like it would be a quick in and out, however, with so many sweets, every customer asked questions and deftly decided on their sweets de jour. Since I waited for a bit, I decided on three...peanut brittle (the hubs said he had not had any since childhood), pecan praline (for me) and a pecan pound cake (split between the hubs and myself). All were incredible delicious. Yep, we ate them all in one day. It is important to note that the prices in the bakery are extremely reasonable. Excellent sweets experience...

    Party of 2 on Monday 1730…read more OVERALL Great service, great food, great ambiance. SERVICE Seated right away. Mario was our kind and happy server. He provided great recommendations. He checked us often and refilled our waters often. CHIPS AND SALSA Complimentary. Tortilla chips are freshly made, oil it was cooked in tasted well, and the salsa was flavorful with roasted ingredients. FLOUR TORTILLA Very fresh, the right amount of salt and moisture, hot, toasted perfectly, just the right thickness, and teared apart very well. CHALUPA COMBO The chalupa was made with a typical crispy tortilla. Placed next to the enchilada so it made it a bit difficult to grab since one half of the chalupa got soggy. EL RANCHO SPECIAL Recommended by Mario. Selected beef tips. The beef was very tender and flavorful, the sauce was flavorful with spice and savory, the rice/beans were well seasoned and flavorful. The guacamole/lettice/cheese was placed into a taco shell. The guacamole was very fresh and had a great texture with varying chunks of avocado. ENCHILADA POBLANO The shredded chicken was juicy and well seasoned. The poblano mole sauce was mildly creamy, tasted of delicious poblanos, seasoned well, and added a refreshing contrast to the savory chicken filling. The pickled onions were a refreshing addition and had a great snap to them. AMBIANCE Feels like we were in a home. The place is decorated vibrantly. The decorations were also very bright and clean. The booth was comfortable and relaxing.

We ordered the half chicken ($11), and I was honestly surprised by how juicy and moist it still was inside. The outside had a wonderful smoky charcoal flavor, and the marinade was flavorful all the way through. It also came with rice, corn tortillas, red and green salsa, grilled jalapeño, lime, and grilled onion, so it was a really filling meal for the price. We also tried the Bean Burger ($9.79), which was a fun combination of a beef patty, refried beans, cheese, chipotle sauce, and pico de gallo. I enjoyed it, although I personally would have loved a thicker layer of beans. The green salsa was SO good that I ended up buying an extra container for about $5 to take home. The restaurant itself is very casual and no-frills, with a big charcoal grill that really adds to the atmosphere--you can see and smell the chicken cooking. It feels much more like a local neighborhood spot than a polished tourist restaurant. Service was also very friendly and attentive. Even though we arrived late, we never felt rushed, and our server checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. I would absolutely come back for the chicken and green salsa.

The true indicator of how good this place is - we were the only gringos in the entire restaurant! We will most definitely be back before long!! Well done!!
