Great platos tipicos for meatlovers (see pics), they do a platter up right. Get a side of ground beef for the table or eat it all by yourself, if you prefer. I like the simple and clean atmosphere of this place. Two other locations at Hempstead (http://www.yelp.com/biz/mi-tierrita-restaurant-hempstead) and Brentwood (http://www.yelp.com/biz/mi-tierrita-restrnt-brentwood). Check it out. read more

Mi Tierrita Restaurant - Latin American Near Me - Patchogue, New York

Food is hit or miss. It used to be much better. Downgraded their quality of meat in my opinion. Service is slow and prices are high. We still go sometimes. It's kind of like Russian roulette though. read more

Pretty good. I can't comment on how the service is because I choose to take my plate to go but I think their food is pretty good. I ordered the chicken platter which comes with chicken rice beans French frys salad and chicken soup all of which was pretty tasty. I do want to add I wish the chicken was seasoned a bit more but it taste like any rotisserie chicken you would buy in the store. They give you more than enough food which was great ....it is definitely a bang for your buck! Not the best Spanish food I had but not even close to the worst. I will be back to try more selections :) and I would say its worth the try! read more

I've ordered from Mi Tierrita a handle-full of times, but this was the first time I went in to eat. It has a lot of seating inside. We walked in and the hostess took us to our seat. It has a real Latin vibe inside, I felt like I was on vacation when I was there. They took our order right away and I got the chicken and rice, plus a side of the Ensalada Rusa, because it's my favorite. The food came out quick and was cooked right. My chicken fell right off the bone and the rice, though not my favorite food, is really soft and flavorful. They don't add hot sauce to the food and I like that because I don't really like my food hot. I got champagne soda and they sent it to the table in a glass bottle, Yeah! I had a very good experience there. I plan to go again to try the steak. Next time I will probably sit at the bar, they looked like they were having fun with the staff over there. read more

Mi Tierrita Restaurant - This so nice - Latin American Near Me - Patchogue, New York

So I have been here several times pre-pandemic and I always enjoyed the food and service. Tonight I only enjoyed the waitress as she was very sweet but still waiting 4 a re-fill on those waters. The food was just Eh. read more

This restaurant was ok, nothing special. We ordered the fried steak. The breading was burnt, the steak was ok. We also ordered the shrimp as the sauce. That was flavored well and the shrimp were a nice size. read more

We decided to go with the whole family for dinner. It looked promising because the place was packed with people waiting to be seated and dining area was crowded. Food coming out looked very good. Staff were attending us and food came out fairly quickly. And that's about it. The food was meh. Rotisserie chicken had no flavor, the food came out drenched in grease. The only good thing on the table was the rice and beans. Tried it, ate, never going back. read more

First of all this place is trash Bad service The food was dry The drinks are flat Margarita was nasty Don't waste your time you will regret it read more

Leaving Fire Island, we searched for a place for dinner. The night before we went to an overpriced place not far from the Sayville Ferry. So glad we found this place! The food is delicious! Large portions. We sat outside, with table service though food was brought out in take out containers (which worked well for us because we took so much food home). Staff wears masks the whole time, and even indoors the tables are well spaced apart. This place is makes far better food than many places that serve traditional American fare within 30 min radius of the Sayville Ferry. read more

Food was nasty.very bland and no flavor.Waitress forgot our Margarita and I regret reminding her because it had to be the worst margarita I ever had.Never again!! read more

I was in the area looking for a good Latin food, I Google it and I found this place, I have to said, this food was amazing, I'm from Ecuador so I know about Latin food. I wasn't expecting this tipe of food here. I highly recommend it. read more

ROACHES!! Do not come here, I was so disappointed and grossed out, saw roaches crawling on the walls in the bathroom after eating, can never come here again read more

Rotisserie chicken, grilled pork, steak and rice and beans were really good. Also tried the lulo juice blended with milk, which was pretty good but so sweet I couldn't finish it. Also tried the fried yuca and plantains, but wasn't impressed by those. Overall pretty decent place, and very good prices for the portions you get. read more

This is our go to Spanish restaurant on the Island. The rotisserie chicken, steamed yuca in special sauce, soups, mountain platter, pretty much everything on the menu is delicious! You can't go wrong here. read more

That's a restaurant with horrible food, the truth is, the attention of the waitress, an woman who has tattoos on her hands, that woman shouldn't be there, terrible attention, they serve me better at 7 Eleven. And to top it off, the food tasteless meats and ugly soups and in the end with a super expensive total. Do not waste your time and money in this place, look for better restaurants. read more

Both the food and service is disappointing. I have tried this restaurant many times -- I will not go back. I can't keep giving them a chance to redeem themselves, the food is mediocre at best, and the service is down right AWFUL. Don't waste tour time or hard earned money. Try Pollo Rico instead. read more

Great food, great service. Nice and clean and the staff is amazing. All of the ingredients are fresh and the food is amazing. Even though they are busy they always find me a seat! read more

The service was really bad, they confused our food twice and they need more communication skills.

COME HUNGRY ! Colombians know how to eat. It's hearty, heavy, stick to your ribs type of meal. If you can't handle it, go eat a salad. My boyfriend and I were craving some spanish food.. (rice and beans - yum!). Found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try! Really great food and nice place. Very roomy with good service. I learned Colombians love to wear white jeans. It's a Colombian thing? All the servers had them on. Here's what we got for DRINKS: MARACUYA - It's fresh passion fruit made into a delicious refreshing drink. You can decide whether you want it blended with water to make a juice or with milk to make a shake. ($3.25) Colombiana Soda - Very candy sweet... not crazy about it. But at a $1.50 a pop, give it a try. It may be something that toots your horns. FOOD: Arepa Con Queso - corn bread with mozzarella cheese Bandeja Tipica (grilled steak, pork skin, egg, corn cake, sweet plantain, avocado, rice & beans) Sobrebarriga A La Plancha (salad, grilled flank steak, rice & beans) We had the Arepas for an appetizer. Very filling! It's 2 pieces of corn bread with mozarella cheese in the middle. Delicious - but made us kinda full. My boyfriend ordered the Bandeja Typicas. It is the quintessential Colombian dish. I ordered the Sobrebarriga A La Plancha. I wasn't that crazy about the flank steak. Flank is too stringy to be a steak. It's more shredded beef type of meat, not steak. I love the rice and beans and the fried yuca. Fried yuca is soo much heavier than your regular potato french fries. Overall, great food, good price, LOTS of leftovers. I probably ate 1/8 of my dish. Can't wait to have leftovers for lunch! read more

Mary C hits it dead on --- COME HUNGRY, or, be prepared to take food home with you. From the outside, this appears to be an old Pizza Hut. Simple, nondescript, and billing itself as a "rotisserie" place. It couldn't be further from the truth. Inside, it's simple, no-frills, but clean. Service is smiling, helpful and attentive. Fact - they make good rotisserie chicken.. but with all the other AMAZING options, who wants to stop there? Portion sizes are MASSIVE. Empanadas are crispy outside, soft and buttery inside, and the filling is nothing short of wonderful. There are a huge variety of "typical" platters, so that you can try different combinations of things. I also suggest take-out for a-la-carte selections - the portion sizes there are shareable between 3 people at LEAST. Watch out for extra special surprises : "Steamed" casava is more than that - it's buttery, fragrant, and seasoned wonderfully. Whoever cooks up the beans deserves a medal for flavor (watch out for bones!). Plantains are perfectly prepared, whether crispy fried, or sweet and butter soft. "Ground beef" is a deliciously seasoned treat that begs to be blended with rice & beans, or just chowed as-is. Even the RICE has the perfect degree of soft-to-sticky. The pork skin is also a crispy treat. Steak and chicken is lovingly seasoned. Margaritas? Toss in a pitcher of those too, 'cuz they're tasty and well made. What's the finishing touch? The PRICES - no rip off here, in fact, it's actually CHEAP for what they deliver! This place is pure gold - NOT to be missed! read more

This unassuming building doesn't attract attention-- hopefully that changes because people could be missing on some seriously good, home-cooking inside. FOOD The meats aren't killed with seasoning which allowed the true flavors to shine through. Accompaniments like plantains, tamale cornmeal, and soup broth are very light in flavor as well... but that all worked because it allowed the surprising star to spike through-- some green 'salsa' that contained bites of salt and vinegar. That sauce in combination with the original tastes of the main dishes' ingredients created deliciousness. The prices are great... especially because the portions are HUGE! Be prepared to bring home leftovers. SERVICE and APPEARANCE Both didn't attract attention. With the small bar, perhaps I'm wrong and things are really kicking here on weekends (haven't been during that time) The decor was trying... but ended up plain. It looks like Mi Tierrita took over a failed restaurant's old location and tried to make the best of things. read more

I've been to this restaurant many times and we always had a good experience, however, my husband and I went a few months ago and said we wouldn't return. Not because of the food but because of the wait staff. Just recently, our friend came to visit from out of town and she wanted to go here, so we took her. The food was good but once again, the wait staff was not. We had reservations and when we arrived the tables weren't ready. Not a big deal but the waitress seemed almost annoyed that we showed up on time. My husband & I sat down, waiting for our friends to arrive. It took a while for someone to come and ask us if we wanted anything to drink. It was like they forgot about us. After dinner, one of the waitresses (not ours) came into our area pushing chairs around, trying to make it seem as she was straightening up the area but she was making a lot of unnecessary noise. It was as if she was trying to "not so quietly" tell us to leave. Like I've said, the food is good, but some of the wait staff really needs work on taking care of their patrons. We are paying customers who left a really nice tip, however, our experience last night was less than desirable. read more

Disappointed. We are new to LI & still acclimating ourselves to the area, thought we'd try this place based on all the good reviews. Went here after 8pm on a Friday night...this place was hoppin! However the service was not. We tried the empanadas, they were pretty good. Crispy outside, tasty meat filling. I ordered the Grilled Pork Loin - it was crazy dry! I thought it was going to be cut like steak, but it was cut so thin (like 1/4" thin)! This made the meat very dry, & to top it off it wasn't even marinaded or seasoned. My husband ordered the Grilled Flank Steak. his wasn't dry, but wasn't seasoned either. My entree came with sweet plantain - I really enjoyed that! His came with fried casava...boring! Both entrees came with rice & beans which were quite tasty. I really didn't like that they charge full price for refills. LAME! Especially because the Sprite was watered down. We may try it out again...just not in a rush to go back. read more

I must say, the service has really dropped. Waited several long minutes before anybody came to the table. My guest had the sancocho de gallena, Chicken soup, and it had a funny taste. The chicken was quite tough, hard to chew. They didn't even offer not to charge me for it, as It was barely consumed. Have to have second thoughts before I eat there again. read more

To many people below are expecting American Style cooking. This is a completely different cuisine! Foods delicious! The homemade verde salsa they provide the table is just out of this world, honestly its one of the reasons I go! It has a fresh taste with this kick. The waiters/waitress are mostly Spanish as their first language...However they speak English pretty well. Its not like you walk in there and you become entirely lost in translation... I've been going to Mi Tierrita for years now and I've never been disappointed. Make sure you get their early because this place packs out quick during dinner time! read more

Good food, and plenty of it, at a reasonable price. This is part of a small local chain. I've eaten in at the Patchogue location two or three times and had food to go five or six times. The building started life as a Pizza Hut and had been vacant for as long as I can remember. Definitely a big step up from Pizza Hut!!!! read more

Unfortunately very low quality in the service the waitress show: poor presentation dirty uniforms attitude poor not able to help No manners dirty tables dirty floor I forgot a personal item on the table and was not returned The temperature in the room is very uncomfortable I feel the food unhealthy due to the cleaning ... read more

Been eating here for over 12 years. This is in amazing, family owned Colombian spot. The food is bomb & the portions are more than enough to feed at least two people per plate. The staff is really friendly & attentive. Most of the employees speak primarily Spanish, so if you intend of visiting, brush up on your Spanish or have a little patience. I noticed many reviews complaining about their inability to communicate, but come on, it's a Latin restaurant. Either conform, or eat elsewhere. read more

My dear Puerto Rican friend told me about this place. She said that if you want authentic Hispanic food this place is the best. I got take out for my family which included Grilled chicken, rice and beans, salsa verde and chicken soup. They primarily speak Spanish here so it can be a little intimidating but they understood my rudimentary Spanish. And the price, wow, unbelievable how much food you get. Will definitely go again. read more

Noone speaks english in this place. Went there for diner once it was good. But noone speaks english to order takeout. This is America, hire someone that speaks english. You will atleast have a valid citizen on the payroll read more

I ordered the typical platter which was steak, egg, corn cake, plantains, rice, beans and a trip of pork belly. It was a hearty, hefty meal. I ate it (to my demise) and was full all day! It's probably better suited for two! That being said, the food and drinks (I had a white sangria) was amazing, and I was really impressed with the quality. The reason why this place only gets a 4 instead of a five is because the service was somewhat sub-par and it took them the better part of an hour to get our food out to us. I still recommend it if you want to try some really well priced colombian food. read more

If you like overly salty food and burnt arepas this is the place to go!! Waste of my money, when the food came it looked nice . The plate was full of food, nice size my typical platter which consisted of ground beef,rice & beans , egg, avacado, pork skin, and a corn cake. Nice I thought.but when I tasted the salty beef it really threw me off. Thank goodness you cant go wrong with an avacado and an egg. My corn cake was burnt when I flipped it over. My arepa con queso looked as if it was cooked to perfection, as I took the second bite I got a mouthful of burnt sludge. Couldnt eat it, it was burnt under the cheese nicely hidden from site. I told the waitress this which she relayed to the manager. And his response was you ate some so you have to pay for it. Not a problem but what ever happened to my apologies can I get you another one not burnt or can I remove this off your bill?? No professionalism at all. Maybe the manager needs to go to business school and learn how to treat customers . I didnt complain about the salty beef . I do not recommend anyone to eat there. If you want to spend your money go somewhere decent and more classy. There is plenty of Colombian fare on long island,why settle for less? I wont, lesson learned. read more

Enjoy this restaurant very much, we usually order chicken soup which is delicious because it's made with a hen. The rice and salad that comes with it is also very good. We also ordered the tamal, which is a meal in itself. The "special meal" was very tasty and have ordered a couple of times. I do recommend this restaurant but I do have a problem they do not give you an itemized receipt so even if you order the same items the total is different so be sure to ask for the check with the correct amount. read more

The staff is typically on point and the food is spot on. This time around we felt as if we were bothering the waitress when telling her what we wanted to order after waiting about 20 minutes before she finally came to our table. She seemed distracted, rolling her eyes and looking over her shoulders as if she didn't want to be there. After another 20-30 minutes we finally got our appetizer (3 empanadas) which were as good as I remembered it. The magical green salsa unfortunately was a lot saltier than we remember it being. One of us got our dinner and about 10-15 minutes later the waitresses came by asking if we wanted a box to wrap up the leftovers because she saw us not eating before realizing that only one of us had gotten served. She ran off and brought my plate and apologized in a manner that seemed like she had to run off somewhere. As far as the dinner is concerned. The beans were fine but the rice had a chalky and crunchy bite as if it was still kind of raw. The grilled steak that came with my dinner was probably smaller than what the kids meal would get if they have one and had the pieces to it that were burnt. I understand their steak isn't going to be served medium but it was beyond well done. The chicharon was also well done and burnt but cold like the rest of my dinner. The inside of my sweet plantain was still hard. Unfortunately the waitress was nowhere to be found and another waitress brought our bill and offered boxes to take leftovers home. We left cash and were on our way out when we realized the original waitress was sitting down and eating food with a hoodie on. Word of advice, maybe introduce the replacement if you're going to switch staff mid way so we know who we can ask if we needed something. read more

I love this gem, friendly courteous staff. The food is delicious. The sangria is fresh delicious and strong. Wow! Tried the ribs sausage and chicken combo today... wow finger licking good read more

Probably the worst service in the Island good food but boy who is running this place I don't know how they stay in business crazy I will do to go only read more

Cater a stuffed pig your next event. They did a wonderful job, make sure you include empanadas and a side of beans. Skip the rice and tamales, it's all in the pig. Order extra empanadas they go fast. read more

I come from Las Vegas, NV and my family took us here our first night. It was so yummy! We have never had Columbian food so we really don't have much to compare but it was delicious. The portions are big so you can share or if you're really hungry you can clear the plate yourself. We had the mango drink with milk and it wasn't as sweet as I thought it would be but it was still good. The waitress was super sweet and kind. She recommended dishes and they were yummy. read more

The food was ok and very expensive. Their water had a nasty taste to it . I definitely wouldn't go there again .
