    Chilaquiles Divorciados
    Matt R.

    This place is a San Antonio GEM!!! From our server Tommy, the out of this world chilaquiles, and the amazing restaurant vibe, this place is top tier. My wife got the Verde and Rojo Chilaquiles and I got the Verde and mole Chilaquiles and they were done within 5-7 minutes and to perfection. The had a lot of sauce and the crunch was still there when you took your first mouth watering bite. The beans had a classic Mexican recipe flavor to them. Not salty or paste-like that other places serve. The salsa they bring out with the chips while you're waiting is AMAZING! Perfect balance of seasoning and super fresh tasting. Our server, Tommy was so attentive and a great personality. If the restaurant knows anything people like him are what helps makes the experience flawless at their establishment. I wish him well. The wife and I know top tier restaurants due to living in Chicago. Thank you Sabor!!! We will be back Everytime we are back in SATX. Gracias!!!

    We went with my father last night who has some mobility issues. The staff at the front and our server Alexander were super helpful.. Drinks very good. I had a tequila drink made with fruit and a clay pot that was great.

    Great spot for brunch with a beautiful inside and patio seating. They have lots of options for breakfast including pancakes and waffles. There's more typical Mexican options like breakfast plates with huevos rancheros and chilaquiles. The chilaquiles divorciados lets you pick any two of the flavors and it was a big portion. The service was very quick and friendly.

    My bf and I went to San Antonio for vacation we had Carlos as our server he was so nice and had our wonderful time with him. The breakfast was amazing and we love the salsa and the restaurant was so cute !!! The patio just a vibe. The only thing we where disappointment was yall don't have soft serve Margarita and agua fresca sadly that why I don't give 5 stars because we had to leave early because we want those two things but it was our first time going here I will recommend this place we will happily go back to see Carlos

    This spot was beautiful inside and out! The server who helped us was amazing. He took time to give us recommendations of where to visit in our short time in San Antonio. The food was incredible, their taco suave was amazing, the chiquiles with the eggs is a must!!

    Chicken green enchiladas were bomb!

    Authentic! I'm Mexican and I was pleased that Texas has a place that was legit. I'm coming back tomorrow for breakfast! Great service and ambiance! Muy bien!

    Service was great. This restaurant was our pick for our book club gathering this month. We appreciated not feeling rushed to eat and leave. We were able to enjoy our discussion and drinks.

    Enchiladas de Mole
    Roberto D.

    The restaurant building itself is just beautiful! The plants and flowers just add to its beauty. The service right when you walk in is so welcoming and they take care of you like your family. Our waiter Paul was one of the best waiters we have had in a while. He was friendly to my 2 daughters (2 and 4 year old) and was making jokes with them to keep them laughing. The food was delicious authentic Mexican food. It's not Texmex which we wanted. The mole was a little sweeter than usual but my wife and dad both still loved it. The poblano enchiladas were perfect according to my mom. She wanted it spicy but not too spicy and they definitely met her needs. The fajitas were pretty good. Steak was pretty tough, so I wish they could have cooked it for less time and the chicken was flavorful with the onions and peppers it came with. The best was the cucumber vodkarita. The flavor of cucumber was so strong and you could barely taste the vodka but it gave us a pretty good buzz. Overall a great restaurant and well for sure be regulars.

    Came here for brunch for the first time after coming here. One of my fav places in San Antonio for Mexican food! Great service, amazing chips and salsa and lots of flavor

    Chicken Quesadillas
    Shelene L.

    This first time experience was outstanding. Five stars for taste and service. I highly recommend the piña colada as it was a great blend of pineapple and coconut. And it's topped off with whipped cream and a cherry. The happy hour menu items are delicious as well. During this visit, I sampled chicken quesadillas, chicken, flautas, and bean and cheese nachos. All three hit the spot.

    guacamole
    Paul M.

    We had a great meal here, the service was fast and friendly and the food was delicious! We also got a standard and virgin margarita which was delicious. I really liked their guacamole and chips and the restaurant itself is very pretty.

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.
