    Dad's plate
    Joey V.

    A staple in San Antonio that I finally had the chance of trying out. Tonight it was very busy however we got a table for 8 people with a reasonable wait time around 30 minutes. Our waiter Jose was very friendly, professional and efficient. Food came out pretty quick and everything tasted amazing. I had the dad's plate which includes two cheese enchiladas, rice, beans and choice of carne guisada, skirt steak or fajitas. Again, had a great experience and big shout out to Jose for his patience and professionalism.

    Excellent food and service. I dined here during lent on a Friday, and they offered a few plates of non-meat dishes. Normally I get their puffy tacos, but because of fasting, I couldn't. They had fish tacos and cheese enchiladas made with a non-meat sauce. Perfect!

    Cheese enchiladas with charro beans
    Amy G.

    Food, service, & atmosphere were great. The free chips & salsa were light, crispy & flavorful. The cheese enchilada plate was delicious & some of the best charro beans I've had in a long time.

    Chalupa with store bought tostada.

    Eh. It's edible. I would not recommend this for Mexican food in San Antonio. Rice and beans were bland. I had a Mexican plate which was enchiladas, puffy taco, and a chalupa. Chalupa was on a tostada shell like Taco Bell. Puffy taco was just ok. Meat had a decent flavor. Tortilla had some flavor but not the light, crispy texture you want in a puffy taco. This was more like a Gordita. Enchiladas looked good but also lacked flavor. The entire meal was bland. Service was prompt and servers were pleasant but the food was disappointing.

    The tortilla soup was savory and light; the chicken flauta was the perfect snack (wish it had something to dip into), the taco was a solid blend of all things that make a happy taco (including guac). Great service, the food came out quickly, and the ambiance lends itself to conversation with friends! This is a San Antonio staple and I know why!

    Shrimp, vegetables delicious

    Delicious shrimp, rice, vegetables Great service by waitress Kailey Awesome music, happy customers

    Saltillo Plate
    Lindsay S.

    Service was wonderful. Our server was hustling and turning drinks and food between all his tables so quickly. Started with the quesabirrias. I've never had barria before and I'm glad I tried it here first. Had such a warm and wonderful flavor to it. The broth it came with was also good, gave it some extra flavor. I went with the Saltillo plays. One enchilada and one puffy taco. The beans at . One time my mother in law made beans from scratch and I thought those were good, these were so much better. Enchiladas were the star on the show though. Red corn tortillas were wrapped around melted cheese and topped with chile con carne. YUM!!!! The SA local that recommended this place did not steer us wrong

    Tortilla soup, taco, flauta all chicken for the special.
    Melanie K.

    We order from here many times. I love the combo of soup, crispy taco, and chicken flauta which comes with chips for the soup along with a serving of lettuce, tomato and guacamole. For only 13.74 when ordered on (door dash). The sopaipilla were delicious and hot we ordered 3 and found out it comes in the size of pizza boxes so we had a huge serving. Nurses in the nurses station with sweets are happy nurses!!!

    Upon local recommendation, we cruised over to Nicha's. The service was super fast (we were on a time crunch) and the salsa and queso were worth the trek! Homemade tortillas, yes, please!! I shared the street tacos, they serve 5 but once you take all the fat out you have enough for four. I like my meat sautéed this looked a bit boiled (but don't quote me on that). Needless to say, I won't get those again but would come back for the salsa!!

    Beautiful restaurant. Service is very good. Had ceviche, tuna al pastor, and the corn cakes. The…read morescallop ceviche was a bit bland but I like the crunchiness of the green apple. I didn't need extra fat from avocado after the corn cakes since it doesn't add much flavor to the dish. The corn cakes are good and I will order again but not as good as some other cornbread. It came with 2 cakes. One was undercooked and one has a crispy crust. The undercooked one was my favorite. It is more moist with soft in the middle. Tuna Al Pastor has a kick but nothing special. Tres Leches was beautiful. 4/5. I like the fresh fruits to cut down the sweetness. The cake was a bit in the dense side. The icing on top was thick. I wish it was a fluffy whip cream to cut down from all the sweetness. Overall it's still a better tres leches than other places in the area.

It was probably our most favorite place that we ate while in San Antonio. The ambiance was great, beautifully decorated restaurant with great service. The cocktails were delicious so we had a few. The food was flavorful and unique. We had a wonderful dinner with my family at Carriqui.

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...

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.

Our waiter Stephen was really nice, attentive and quick throughout our visit. Thanks for taking good care of our table! We tried the paella and steak fajitas, and everything came out nice and hot. Both were enjoyable, but we also need to talk about those spicy mango and watermelon margaritas because the drinks definitely DELIVERED. Flavor was there, and so was the pour. Overall, we had a good experience. Nice River Walk location, hot and tasty food, great drinks and friendly service. Just turn those lights up enough for me to admire the meal before I eat it.
