The food was filling, but there's no flavor! I had to drown my tacos in Valentina for some flavor! The service was pretty good, we were checked up on multiple times to make sure we were doing good! The dining area is connected to a little store, which I was happy about because they had Inca Cola( A Lemon Verbena soda), which is my favorite because it taste like bananas to me! read more

Mi Tierrita - Mexican Near Me - Mooresville, North Carolina

Great little Hispanic market with all you would expect to find. The good: - Excellent selection of traditional meats (the chorizo is my favorite) - Fresh corn tortillas made to order - Fresh salsas free with purchase - FANTASTIC authentic Tijuana street tacos from there small dining area - Very friendly folks The not so good: - dirty floors and walls - very tight confines - many customers not wearing masks - difficult finding parking I will go back for meats and tacos but would not dine there or shop the narrow isles. If you like fresh carnitas, chorizo, carne asada and other traditional Hispanic meats then it is worth going. read more

Mi Tierrita - Good meat selection including marinated carne adada - Mexican Near Me - Mooresville, North Carolina

In reality, if you're not familiar with this place, upon entry can be a little daunting. Once you get passed your unfamiliarity, HANDS DOWN the best tacos in Mooresville. I get the steak tacos and soup of the day and they do not miss, ever! The wife & I do takeout from here at least twice a month. Just walk up to the butcher and ask to place an order, simple. He'll take it and put it in. read more

Worst food ever!!!! Los peores tacos que he probado en mi vida!!!!! Los tacos de 'asada' son de carne molida y esa carne huele feo!!!!! read more

Food was just ok I felt weirdly unwelcome in there. Weird menu selection Cheap priced read more

I DON'T EVEN LIKE SPANISH CUISINE BUT.... I almost don't want to review this place because when you try it once, you will definitely tell everybody you know about it! I can see this place getting so busy that I will have to stand in a line to eat here. My brother's friend told him about this gem, then came here with my husband, then they brought me. (I ended up making him bring me 2 days in a row) They were so surprised I actually finished everything I ordered! read more

Mi Tierrita - chicken, steak, and shrimp fajita. - Mexican Near Me - Mooresville, North Carolina

This is a sit down style, not an order at the counter place - the small stack of folded-menus instead of a menu board helped with that. The menu is pretty straight forward: on a carte on the left, on a plate on the right. Bistek de Mexicano is generally my reference and they do it well here. Lightly seasoned thin sliced beefs with onions, tomatoes, and bell pepper accompanied by warm tortillas, excellent flavorful rice, well adjusted beans, and 'the salad'. Salsa come in two flavours: verde and rojo, your choice... One of the odd things about being stateside is that the water is safe but the the soft drinks will kill you. If you must drink soda then have a MexiCoke, it is less bad for you and tastes better too. read more

What day is it? Had some of the best carne asada & barbacoa tacos in the area. I knew immediately walking in, I had stepped into the confinement's of a true authentic taco joint. Located in a mini meat market grocery store, this was a super hole in the wall. Being the only non-Hispanic in the establishment, I received countless stares and out of place looks. My presence definitely shook their normalities on this Taco Tuesday. As with any taqueria that I'm scouting for my first time I ordered my usual carne asada tacos. Heard the barbacoa was it here, so I got two of those as well. Man, these tacos were smacking good. The meat here is the big show. Very good portions in each taco and I really enjoyed the seasoned lamb meat in the barbacoa tacos. There was so much flavor packed in these, I did not have to sauce anything up. Just a light touch squeeze of the limes over the top and you're good to go. The homemade tortillas were great and weren't too thin, nor too thick. Tortillas are key in a taco and they came out just right with a good medium balance of flour, warmed and lightly grilled. Now, to really take this meal to another dimension, a must order beverage is the Horchata. Could be up for debate on top Horchatas I've ever encountered. I helplessly downed my first cup before the tacos were ready and required a refill. Vet move: Always ask for no ice so it doesn't water the taste down and you'll also gain more volume since the cubes of ice aren't filling the capacity of the cup. This drink from the heavens is made in house using water, milk, rice, cinnamon, sugar, and this secret powder stuff. Possible it's what was used in MJ's secret stuff water bottle in Space Jam? read more

Mi Tierrita - Carne Asada & Barbacoa. - Mexican Near Me - Mooresville, North Carolina

Finally found the good (read: authentic) stuff in Mooresville. There are lots of places you can get Americanized Mexican food, or TexMex, around here. Some are even pretty dang good. But this is the real deal. There's a place like this on pretty much every block in most towns in south Texas, but up this way, not so much. The place is a combination grocery/butcher shop/restaurant, and there's definitely nothing fancy about it. That's what gives these places their character. If you're looking for the cliché Mexican place-- chips n salsa, crunchy taco shells, beans n rice with every plate-- this is not that place, so be prepared. I recommend ordering 3 or 4 tacos, depending how hungry you are. I went with asada, pollo, and carnitas, but there are several other choices. All of mine were excellent, and my son raved about his chorizo tacos. Prices are very reasonable. Service was friendly and food came out timely. You would definitely have an advantage if you spoke Spanish here, but they do speak English pretty well (we didn't have any issues communicating). I wholeheartedly recommend you try this place out next time you want some real tacos. read more

Mi Tierrita - Tacos! - Mexican Near Me - Mooresville, North Carolina

This place is a bit of a hole in the wall and parking is always difficult. But this is probably one of the more authentic taco places I've found in the Lake Norman area. It's a bit harder to order due to the limited English, but what good taco place doesn't have that issue. The tacos, rice, and beans were all tasty and the value can't be beat! read more

This place is awful! We are California transplants and hoped this place would live up to the good reviews and it did not. My carnitas were made of boiled pork with tons of cartilage and fat and no flavor. We waited a long time for our food and it was not good. Will never come back. The market is not that great either. read more

We are native Californians that transplanted here in NC about a week ago and it has been our goal to find authentic Mexican food! Finally found a great place that has the small tacos reminiscent of our favorite taco places in California. I order a Dos XX michilada with 3 al pastor tacos con todo(with everything). My husband ordered an Dos XX with 3 tacos 1 carnitas, 1 carne asada and 1 chorizo con todo as well. The al pastor meat was tender a spiced perfection. The carnitas was so so tender and delicious. The chorizo was good but my hubby said that he wished he would have ordered another carnitas taco instead. If your missing "Real Mexican" this is the place to go. The lil restaurant inside this Mexican store is small and fills up quickly at 12pm. So if you don't arrive by 11:45pm. You might have to take your food to go. I enjoyed this place and will definitely be back. read more

Okay, we found this gem halfway through a 12 hour drive and we now go out of our way to make sure we can stop there during business hours. It is the absolute best. Very authentic. We can feed our family of eight, including three teen boys for under $50. That includes horchata for all. I LOVE the enchiladas verdes. Hubby always gets three or four tacos. Boys get burritos, littler ones get tacos, beans, and rice. I love the decor and they it is hidden inside of a market. One piece of advice for my lady friends- stop to use the restroom at one of the large gas stations before arriving. Avoid the ones here. read more

Not very often I find mom and pop Hispanic stores. This was small and the food I felt was a bit overrated. It was a bit over priced for meh taste. The tacos were just bland. They were good for what I could find but they could be better. read more

5 star for the authentic tacos. Chorizo taco was super delectable. Great people full of entertainment. 5 stop tours. Real Mexican stop here. #beerTricks #CropTopForTheWin #glcbeepbeep #nomascoronaporforvor #wheresmolly #CheertoFreeBeers #RookieonBoard read more

Most authentic tacos I've ever had so amazing and a good source for other items. For instance coco de aqua

I am a sucker for authentic Mexican street tacos. I got a little tip from some Latino co-workers of mine that this was the place to go to. Well you can't just order one so I ordered Asada Tacos, Carnitas Tacos, Pollo Tacos and some Chorizo tacos for dessert. All of these tacos were absolutely amazing but if I have to rate in order, then I would say, Carnitas, Asada, Chorizo, and Pollo. Absolutely amazing tacos and you should try them all. While you're waiting for your tacos to be prepared you should tour the grocery section and purchase a bunch of stuff in the meantime. Good looking meat at the meat market, good looking groceries in the grocery section, and damn good food in the restaurant section. I highly recommend this place but it is a little bit confusing when walking in. You will figure it out... Enjoy! read more

Very authentic Mexican. Stopped here on a road trip down to New Orleans and it was the perfect place to stop. Very friendly staff and reasonably quick service. The pork tacos were a bit dry, but they were the only thing holding back the last star. The chicken and chorizo tacos were excellent and the rice and beans were also delicious. I definitely recommend stopping here! read more

They said they were selling Barbacoa by the pound, and we were excited! However, when we got it home, it was chuck roast. So disappointed in being lied to. Beef cheek and chuck roast are NOTHING alike. The carnitas and green salsa were good. read more

Really good food for really cheap! Little authentic joint inside the meat market. I would definitely come here again! Their quesadilla with rice and beans was inexpensive and filling. read more

First time eating authentic Mexican. A little unnerving, but the waitress speaks excellent English and was super nice so I didn't feel entirely like a fish out of water. My mixed fajitas were amazing. Friend got the enchiladas and asked for beef instead of chicken, but got chicken anyway, so that's the only reason I didn't do 5 stars. Otherwise amazing. Would recommend. read more

Starving for tacos, I saw this somewhat hidden place out of the corner of my eye. Walked in and immediately knew it was the right place. Great tacos and burritos for a god price. read more

Had the Pozole today! I love Pozole, had it everywhere. Now every time will be compared to this place! Mooresville has a hidden gem for true Mexican food! If you're willing to venture out of the usual comfort zone Mexican restaurant scene and have a taste of what real Mexican food is and are in the area, by all means come check this place out. Small seating area but HUGE flavor! read more

This place is a small bodega/ restaurant/ Butcher shop all in one . It's quite tiny and over packed , but the food is pretty tasty I ordered a chicken fajita with yellow rice and beans . the chicken had great flavor and really enjoyed it . This place needs its own restaurant apart . This place needs AC and i also didn't enjoy listening to the very loud tv and music from the other shops all in one . The waitress was friendly and the service was nice . read more

Authentic Real Deal Holyfield Mexican food, extremely inexpensive, and great service.

After living in California I have been searching for some "real" Mexican food. This is the best place I have found in Mooresville. I had a tamale, carne asada taco and barbacoa tostada they were all great. Plan on going back here soon. Also great market if you like to cook your own Hispanic recipes you will be able to find your ingredients that are not available at the regular grocery. read more
