Great place. Consistently has given great level of service over the years for which I went here long ago versus just recently. My wife really enjoyed the night out with me here, and we tried new pastries from here as well. Excellent service.

I wish they handle reservations, or at least made it easier for smaller (casual) business gatherings to get a table faster. We were told we would had to have at least 30 people to get a table in advance or or even be placed on the queue before everyone arrived. However, the staff all seemed polite enough (except for 1-2 of the managers towards closing time) and the food was excellent. Pricing was extremely fair. Service was great for a party of 10. We'd return and several of the people in our party have been here numerous times.

We went on a friends recommendation. While the enviroment is fun, the food was the worst Mexican food we've ever had. My wife ordered the Guacamole Nachos as her meal. What came were 7 tortilla chips (total), with melted cheese on top, and a small bowl of brownish guacamole (7 chips for over $12!). We had waited a long time for our food, and were very hungry. It ended up making her feel sick for the rest of the evening. I ordered their beef tip special, which tasted like high school cafeteria food. I couldn't it was beef. I've looked up photos of the Guacamole Nachos and what we got didn't look anything like the photos folks have posted. I have no idea why we were served such poor quality (and old) food.

Wow. Such great food and amazing atmosphere! The bakery has so very many goodies to try. The service was wonderful. There isn't much more to say other than this should for sure be a stop. The only other thing to consider is that it is a little on the pricey side. But it was worth it.

This place is always one of my favorite places to come with family friends and coworkers whenever I am in San Antonio. It has a unique Texas Mexican fell to it one of my favorite parts about this restaurant is how festive and decorated it is from its Serling to its walls windows and pillars. It also has good food for everyone not only Mexican. I t is worth the price. Make sure to walk around and see the whole place cause it is large. It has 3 bars one looks like for large groups 2 sections of restaurant and a bakery when you first walk in the door in Historic Market Square and near the River Walk.

Absolutely love this place! The environment, the staff, the food, the drinks...all AMAZING! Mexican food at its finest.If you're looking for a fun place to get an authentic San Antonio experience you should definitely visit this fine establishment. The best part is that they're open 24/7 so you can go any time, day or night!
Dj Acosta
Amazing food! Great service! Food was delicious I ordered breakfast and was not disappointed. The waitress we had was great she was ready with everything we needed and if we asked for anything she was back with it in minutes! I will definitely be coming back

Michael J. Valadez
So good. Amazing atmosphere. Music is wonderful. Food is delicious and flavors are incredibly authentic. I'd come here again and again if I were a local.
Patricia Garcia Duarte
This place is always been a favorite in our family for many many years fir the food, ambiance margaritas Mexican beer and the panderia, a tradition here in San Antonio. Great service. If there ever is an issue with a food or drink it's always taken care of. It's cool to see the little vendors (not a lot but gives you that authentic Mexican feel) walking around trying to sell Mexican gifts (a touristy thing), a photographer, or the Mariachis trying to serenade a song for you. Those are always special for birthdays and parties. They even have this beautiful bar with an extra room behind it! I've never eaten there in that room!
Larry
Great decor but food is bland. Just a place they grab tourist I suppose.
Fernando Arellano
If you are visiting San Antonio and look for something to do go visit this outdoor indoor market. It represents the Spanish culture really well. It's definitely a shop and eat place. The bread at this store is exactly what my family gets when they go to Mexico. Very festive, long lines on Saturday and Sunday for a table to dine.
Roberto Garcia
A standing go to place when we are in San Antonio. The food is always fresh, hot and delicious. The Mercado nearby is always nice to visit. Lots of authentic Mexican goods and crafts.
James Keck
Amazing! I was with a group of at least 10 people. We all ordered different entrees and everyone enjoyed the food. I ordered a carnitas plate and it was delicious! The atmosphere is amazing too! Of note, you can wreck your appetite while waiting for your table if you visit the bakery counter... But definitely stock up on goodies before you leave!!!
Keerti
Fun, up beat and inviting. Mi Tierra is always open with friendly staff. I never feel rushed and the food is always fresh and very filling. I can see the first timers walking through with their eyes wondering all over the restaurant looking at the festive decor. Beautiful fun place with food that does not disappoint. A must try anytime you are in San Antonio, TX.
Brandon Glenn
Very good food. The prices are high but proper for the quality. The ambience is very festive. Walking El Mercado while waiting for your table is enjoyable. Enjoy!
John Shirts
Fantastico! We had the Ricardo and the cream cheese empanada. Great food and a cultural experience all in one!
Jesus Limon
I went to Mi Tierra after some forty years. It is awesome and it is great place to eat. They still have a bakery which sales sweet bread that I loved to eat after the meal. I took my daughter for her birthday.
Maria Gonzalez
The best panaderia with amazing people! My boyfriend and I just moved into town and went there during this epidemic, and they were very caring and shopped for us and got everything we needed! A gentleman stood outside with me and the groceries I had until my boyfriend brought the car around. We will definitely be going back once it is fully opened and we can’t wait!! Thank y'all so much!
Shirley Mann
The atmosphere is very festive. The restaurant is very popular and likely to be a wait during popul6times. Be sure to register to get a pager. They also have people who walk around playing guitar and singing. We had a party of 10 and food came out in a decent time. Our chicken fajitas were good. Someone had green sauce on their dish, but it wasn't green...so not sure what happened. Other plates looked really good.
Gail Mathews
I have eaten here many times and each time the food and service was outstanding. Some people need to understand that this is one of the most popular restaurants in the United States. If you are going to complain about waiting then go to a drive through burger shop. The experience of Mi Tierra is unmatched in Texas. We love your food! Excellent Service!
Bridgett White
The area was great, it's located in a Market Place. Very Touristy. The restaurant is huge, the bakery must be amazing if you believe the line, we didn't attempt it. The wait was over 30 minutes. Service is professional and spot on. But I thought the food was just good, not great. I don't think I'd go back and wait again.
Jacob Hornsby
Love this place! Took my wife on a date, we had a great time. Drinks were good, food was great and the atmosphere was festive and colorful! I will be returning and I highly recommend. I tried the goat and believe it or not it was delicious!
Javier Razo
Atmosphere is awesome and restaurant is kept very clean. It very much targeted towards tourist for the experience. Food is nothing special if you’ve had authentic Mexican food before but is definitely not bad. Average food with great environment and great servers
Anastassia Batsoula
Mexican restaurant with cool decor. Didn’t find anything amazing in the food, but was a good experience. The service was very nice :)We came when it wasn’t busy and the wait time was average. The bakery items looked good but we didn’t have any room due to large plate size.
Jared Logg
This is a great “hidden-gem†in downtown San Antonio. Perfect for birthdays, celebrations, dates, anything you can think of! Perfect authentic made-from-scratch Mexican dishes. The surrounding Mercado is beautiful when they have lights and streamers hung up, especially at night. Well worth the quick drive and the little parking fee (City of San Antonio Parking Authority). Perfect for all!
Randy Gonzales
Food great as always. Service very good when we come but 02292020. Maria Aguilar was excellent on service. This lady is truly an asset to this place. She made our experience better than the normal 100 percent we get. Thank you Maria
James J
This place is great! We loved the decorations. The breakfast was delicious & the staff super nice. Lots of history here, don’t miss out
Ana Cisneros
The food is ok, overpriced if you ask me. If you want authentic Mexican food this is not the place. I think it’s hyped because of the decorations but I have had better fajitas and Mexican food. The hype about is is how colorful it is it’s a very pretty colorful place. But I have had better Mexican food!
Jerry Martini
The experience is WOW.... the food can be basic but it’s not bad. This place is most definitely a tourist attraction and they do a fantastic job at catering to the tourist. We often visit the restaurant when we have visitors in town and they want the SA experience. Mi Tierra has the experience needed to wow wow any new visitor to SA.
Frank Gonzales
Excellent food for the price you pay. Unique and colorful decor. Live music adds to your experience. If you need to be cheered up it's a great place. Great for birthdays, wedding proposals and other special occasions.
Teresa Robinson
We visited this place twice while in San Antonio. Went for breakfast and it was so delicious, we had to return for lunch. This is the best Mexican food I have ever had! You have to see this place to believe it! The atmosphere is wonderful, the servers have beautiful uniforms, there are mariachis that will come sing to you. An all around great experience!
Samantha Hicks
Great place for an early breakfast meeting. They are always open. Cultural atmosphere at its best. From the margaritas to the enchilada to the mariachis, you will enjoy this place. The food is consistently good and affordable. The bakery is true to the Mexican roots and the selection is huge. You will enjoy this place in the old market for souvenir shopping.
Claudia L
We only went to the bakery. I was in line for about five minutes on a busy Sunday. I went hoping to get some hot tea because I saw it on online menu so I was disappointed when they told me they didn't have any. I did try some items and they were good. The lady that attended me was very sweet.
Dalamar Slider
Food, drinks, server (Sai), atmosphere were all amazing. I can't find anything negative to say even about the restroom. My family and I will definitely go back when we come back to visit.

Love to go and enjoy the well maintained atmosphere of downtown San Antonio. Music while u enjoy some old fashioned Mexican food is always soothing. Not to mention afterwards the different selection of Mexican bread and other cultural food items. Love it love it..
Sonia González
AMAZING SERVICE. Kimberly was amazing and the bands that played for us were also increÃble! So happy to have been able to come here with my brother after his Air Force Graduation, great food and service. Will definitely go again.
Brenda M.
The restaurant is very spacious has great food, and margaritas. Service was great we our waiter was so friendly and attentive. You will have a great time as you will enjoy live music and great appetizers. One thing that I did not like was that we were standing inside with many others and we were the only ones asked to go outside and wait. Just taught that was odd.
M Smith
Delicious food! Ms Gladys was very efficient and professional. Very busy place but well worth the wait! I look forward to visiting again!
G. E.
Visit this restaurant everytime we go to San Antonio. Great atmosphere and mariachi musicians for hire to play at your table if you like that. Mexican Christmas decorations throughout the restaurant and nicely themed bar separate from eating area.Food is very good, and they also have a Mexican bread bakery. Most of the time it's a long wait but worth it.
TC Parker
The atmosphere is amazing and the food is terrific! The stuffed Poblano is this savory, spicy (but not too spicy) blend of flavors that leaves you delighted. Please let's talk about the 50 foot Bakery Case! Filled with every sweet Mexican delight this side of the border💋
Robert Velarde
Every time we’ve been coming to San Antonio to visit, this has been the place we always come to. When we come with family that visits, we invite them here to try out the amazing food and drinks. This is a great place to be with the family and even though it’s very full, the wait time is not that long and there is an area where you can order just drinks while you wait. Great food, great service, and a great time!
Debbie Rumfield
Wonderful food and atmosphere with friendly staff and quick service. Their bakery is incredible and all the pictures and festive decor makes for a pleasant meal or even a celebration. Top notch for family and friends at reasonable prices for yummy Mexican dishes and so close to the market and historic sites make it a must stop while in San Antonio.
amayala
I love the fact that such an amazing place is open 24 hours. You kinda forget that you're there at a time where other places are closed. The tortillas are just like my Grandma's. Perfection!! Some places are just fun to go to for the experience and atmosphere but not Mi Tierra their food is incredible and authentic.
Jaime Alvarez
YOUTH HERE! ✌ðŸ»âœŒðŸ»Not sure if it is the pinatas that are hanging or the crazy decorations but it makes you feel like fiesta never left! Love this place to bring family that has never been to an actual Mexican restaurant! Sometimes it can be messy and super loud that's the only down side! Other than that is amazing!
Riaan M Odendaal
This place is a "must visit". Very colorful. Was there for breakfast with friends from Nevada. They were told there that they should visit when in San Antonio. I am glad they did. We enjoyed it.
Rico Suave
Good food and service. They have a bakery, a bar and a restaurant. Kind of touristy. The food is good. The bar only had appetizers and not the full menu so that was disappointing. I went to the bar after dinner but cant comment on the drinks since I was never waited on after waiting 12 minutes. They did get three stars for being open 24 hours.
Deborah M
I had authentic excellent tasting pork tamales with gravy, rice and beans. Mr Cortez, the business owner, took me on a tour of this 1941 family authentic Mexican restaurant and bakery. Photos on the walls and murals now being completed by an artist named Robert m, who I met. The collection of art depicting history of the family and staff, local and U.S. politicians and celebrities. I recommend this as a must great restaurant, must have bakery items, and market area in San Antonio.
Kristie Johnson
Such delicious Mexican food! Everything fresh, like made from home. The chorizo with egg was just like my Mom's 😋 Decorations, murals and especially the singers add a wonderful feeling to your time here. Many seats, staff was so nice and hospitable, service time was not long at all. Made me want to stay longer and absorb the atmosphere more. The Mariachi Bar was a hallway across(also festive looking, owned by same establishment, so I'm sure it's awesome), I didn't get a chance to experience that part but I seen a few people around me ordering drinks before their lunch. And they're open 24 hours!
Kim Parks-Griswold
Must Go it is worth the wait. The atmosphere is hopping and the food is yummy. There is something there for everyone in the family.
