- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- For over 75 years, this iconic restaurant has been serving up Tex-Mex cuisine, and today, serves over 1 million customers each year! How? They NEVER close!
On a typical Saturday at Mi Tierra Café Y Pandaría, 120 gallons of salsa are served, 3000 enchiladas are hand rolled and 22,000 plates are washed.
my texas bucket list is so long it may need a second bucket
This place is overhype
Great memories working for Mi Tierra cafe back in 2005. as bus boy that was my first job, i was only 19 yrs old at that time now im 38yrs old .
Been there so many times in my life. Great food and the baked goods are amazing.
You must not know good Mexican food... Cause im mexican and that place suks. Its a tourist trap now. Food comes out cold. I use to work there. I was always embarrassed about running out cold food but i was told to do it anyway.
@@teddywestside4816 Maybe when you worked there it sucked. The times I went I never had a problem.
@@luvvideos07 I'm with you. I've been there many times and never had any complaints.
@@teddywestside4816 yes theres many places that are better but its just the place to go once in awhile. Fajitas and margaritas is why we go.
Been there many times starting back in the 70s.Great food !!
We drove there from Houston for lunch then drive back right afterwards.
Love that place.!
Crazy,I know.
One of my favorites!
My favorite stop when in San Antonio, period!
You need your tastebuds examined. Terrible food
To each their own, I must have caught them on good days.
We got there at 10 pm Friday night, the service was great. A lot of happy faces and excelente fajitas.
our ranger truck broke down in Laredo.
Got my Explorer and went to the rescue.
In our way back to 🏡 home we stop for rest in a hotel.
For pure luck we were a walkin distance from the restaurant, We got clothes all dirty, but they were very nice. Thanks.
Greetings from North Texas.
A favorite for sure...!! Can't wait to visit again....
Shes kinda cute eh?
And you're not kind of, you're straight up fugly!
Not cut. BEAUTIFUL
Que elegante la Sr., y una guapetona, la comida esperamos hasta January @0 ya que mi esposa y yo visitamon a nuestros kids. Hasta nos vemos quidase God Bless des de Filipinas, abrasos fuertes a t8dos.
I've been to the place it's good we go Everytime we go the markets
Tourist. Lol
Back when the Spurs played at Hemisfair Arena you could often find opposing teams eating at Mi Tierra after the game and I guess the Lakers still do since a fan caught a video of LeBron cheering Taco Tuesday after a game against the Spurs a few years ago.
Been there many times , love the food and pan dulce !
It sucks
I love it there i live san antonio to I live
South side by burbank high school I love living in san antonio
I live by Burbank too! They’re renovating the school, idk if u have noticed
Literally my only must eat when in San Antonio
You should get a new tongue with tastebuds
As a born and raised Texan I can tell you this: everyone in this state OVERRATES THE FUCK out of everything.
I've been there and it's actually good. And I am very judgmental and picky.
When we go to San Antonio. I always get the hotel across this restaurant.
Azteca La Quinta?
@@tinsote7176
Yes.
We stayed there when my parents were alive.
Love this spot! Always a go-to on the SA stop!
Loser
Mmmhhhmm I'm all over that place
Food ok, prices though are high.
I want to eat there or Casa Rio.
Casa Rio’s pretty good too, but avoid the nearby The Original Mexican Restaurant at all costs, food is nasty!
@@tinsote7176 thanks for the tip.
Is there a safe Park lot
1 million would mean a revenue of at least 10-30 million usd and 4-15 million per years in profit. I don't believe it one bit lol.
It would also mean per day 2739 ppl should visit, yeah she is not good at math..
OVERPRICED & overrated Tex-Mex food!
Absolutely!!
Great atmosphere, horrible food unfortunately. You will be disappointed when you leave but you will have enjoyed the festive vibe.
Baked goods are nasty tasting.
Tourist Trap
Overrated. I lived in San Antonio for 5 years in the 70’s and it was the best Tex Mex place to go eat but they’ve gone down hill. It’s a tourist trap
I live here now... And yes it suks now. Huge tourist trap. Cold hard chips, $10 for a 3ounce queso... WTF. $50 for fajitas for 2. PASS!!
Went yesterday for stale chips and over priced average.food . Not even top 5 in sanantonio.
It’s good but Way overpriced. You can get equal or better quality at any Taqueria or Jalisco restaurant in the city. This is just for tourists n
I live in SAN ANTONIO and let me tell you, it's overrated
Thanks for showing the Mexican love, but you didn't show the food. This episode sux long and hard!
Lol
It’s because the food sucks lmao
Most over rated restaurant!! Please... it’s just about decorations. Go to Nichas!!!
oh no this isn’t even good texmex food over price for a sorry excuse for texmex.
Nasty food
The restaurant atmosphere is great, but the food is not good. And the pastries are expensive and just ok. It’s for tourists who don’t know what good Tex-Mex food is.
Lol.... I could not agree more!!
Please!!! Mi tierra is a notch above taco bell. That's the last place to eat. This guy was surely compensated for video content.
The atmosphere, the kind people, the food... those are just a few reasons why I've raised my kids in Military City! Especially there. They're still growing up in that restaurant and they absolutely love the food!
For tourists ok for real ones much better for locals. None of us drive there to the bakery
Tourists can get better tasting food for less anywhere in town. I think the main attraction is the colorful ceiling, mural and location. The food is over priced and over rated. Sorry
Hi Rachel, we are new to San Antonio and are looking for good Tex-Mex, any recommendations?
For get the bucket, a bath tub list is more like it. Everything is big in Texas
Roy p. Benavides, 🏅 of Honor Recipient......
Yes. Real hero. Didn’t hang out at this dump.
@@rueridge7597 Actually yes he did. He and I had lunch there years ago and he loved the place. Roy liked to eat lol.
He’s related to my SIL.
Went here on a friend’s recommendation. Fantastic place
I love Mi Tierra restaurant. They treat you like a guest. There Hospitality is outstanding. There food is delicious and there bakery the best. I have been going there for a lot of years. Its grown so much. Thank you for serving great food. And always making feel welcome.
Mi Tierra is a legit place . I live in Austin Texas and whenever we visit San Antonio we visit Mi Tierra
Try Pillo del Gallo east of i35 from mi terra
I got to eat here in 2004,it was amazing !
As a native to San Antonio. This would not be my choice. The food is mediocre. But it does have a very nice Mariachi bar. You go for the drinks not the food.
Better places than this tourist food in san antonio
Why didn't he eat and sample their food? Since they are getting free publicity.
Just a couple days ago, Me and my family drove from Dallas to San antonio we went to the Biggest Mexican market possibly in the USA, And we went to the alamo along with the river walk including this restraunt I had the chorizo tacos from there
I’m getting hungry
Gavacho food!! Go to Taco Haven on S. Presa.
Hell yeah!!
I used to like Panchitos, the old one, on Zarzamora, I think. But I don’t even want to know what’s going on in the kitchen.
Mi Tierra is Tex Mex, not Mexican food and they’re pretty explicit about it. They do however have other restaurants that offer more authentic plates to Mexico proper. Try the Fish Filet plate at La Margarita during lunch hour. You’re welcome.
@@tinsote7176 La Margarita is terrible food and the waitstaff are very rude. We never will go back.
Mittmans blows away taco haven! So does little taco factory!
How many times did my friends and I make a "road trip" from UT to Mi Tierra on the weekends!
Aquino terrado chocolate 🍫
Oh please their food is gross. Go to Panchitos on McCullough they're way easy better than Mi Tierra any day!!! It's just for tourist of course it's gonna taste good. That's my opinion.
The mistake most people make coming to San Antonio is this place, it’s in a popular spot but in reality it doesn’t have anything special. The food is texmex nothing new here, the bread is not always fresh the service is average. Its just not worth the money. There are so many other better sports in town for sure.
Videos like this channel and others like Texas Country Reporter has made this local restaurant a freaking tourist trap.
Portions are meager and well over priced. It is less expensive that restaurants on the river walk but still over priced for what you get.
The wait time is incredibly long and there are no reservations.
This restaurant has operated in this location for decades and I recall a time where the wait was less than 5 minutes.
Breakfast is the only time you can actually walk in and be seated as soon as you walk in the door. Otherwise, order Dominoes and have it delivered to your hotel room
I hate Texas but I love all my Mexicans brothers and sisters especially I love Mexican foods and I gotta to check out that awesome restaurant Mi Tierra.
That place is so overrated! 👎🏽👎🏽
Jose Mondragon I’m a local, no it’s not.
Tinsote
Yes it is. It sucks. Margaritas down the street is far better.
@@rueridge7597 Same owner.
This place ‘used to be’ good. It became popular and the quality went through the floor. The place looks like it hasn’t been thoroughly cleaned in years. Same faded paper decorations for years. What it has going g foe it is location and the ignorance of blissful visitors. Don’t expect great or good food. Just know that you’re going to be able to say that you’ve been there.
As a Hispanic male let me say one thing
TACO BELL is better than Mi Terra !!!!!!
An entire video about a dining establishment and nothing about the food.
no one cares.
I’m from California and here in California we have great Mexican restaurant but when I went to San Antonio for a little vacation a lot of people talk about MI Tierra saying it was the greatest Mexican restaurant. So I went to try it out, turns out this place is overhype and overrated the food isn’t all that great is just ok but not worth the wait or the price. This place is mostly a tourist trap for people who don’t know what Mexican food is or how it taste like, the only good thing about this place is that it has some nice decorations but that’s it. Definitely not worth going back.
M Lopez.... Either way it suks. Las Palapas is better and half tbe price.
There are thousands of other restaurants in San Antonio that I think serve better tasting and more authentic Mexican food than Mi Tierra. We locals don’t ever eat there. We leave that to the tourists. I’m sure it’s the same where you I’ve at too.
Pretty plain and tasteless food, the bakery was mediocre, and the candy was pretty nasty 🤢
That’s because it’s not meant to be authentic Mexican food, it’s a Tex Mex cuisine unique to South Texas. If you want Mexican food, La Margarita (which is also owned by them) down the street has more authentic Mexican plates.
@@jsant24 You’d be surprised how many westsiders eat there.
I just there it was very expensive and the food not that great taste more like fast food I was very disappointed
Not even that good overrated I don't know why they would put this on any kind of list I stay in San Antonio and I don't even go there
Mi Tierra is overrated and is a tourist spot. I just went yesterday for breakfast and it was mediocre at best. Tortilla chips in the chilequilles were stale and the potatoes lacked flavor.
I will say that the baked goods are amazing, always fresh.
Wow thanks I'll be eating the basket foods only this Sunday
You want Mi Tierra with less tourists? Go to Mi Familia at the Rim.
It's okay overrated, sweets were good but hey if they can stay in business this long good for them .
Any local would say eh to this Mexican food. Try a taqueria.
Just don't get their barbacoa there; it's the worst, the greasiest ever in town.
I'm not trying to be rude or disrespectful when I say this. My wife and I had the enchilada dinner and it was not good. In their defense that was the only thing we tried . I would say also that the atmosphere was the best ever. I give that an A+. If we are ever able to get down that way again we'll try the fajitas or something. God bless you.
Ordered the fajita plate. And it looked like a combination plate with enchiladas. Small portion of fajitas. I was expecting sizzling. Atmosphere good. Food ,better off going to a whole in the wall
@@tommymartinez2266 exactly u ordered the fajita plate. If you looked at the menu its says comes with enchildas rice an beans. You have to order just the fajitas for 1 or 2. Those are the skillets.
Mi Tierra is reallt good but ecpensive...
Not a one of my favorite place to eat no idea why the huge line
I love San Antonio. It's always a struggle deciding where to spend more time--The Riverwalk or the Marketplace.
Go to the Rim instead.
Love them both i hit them both in one day sometimes
The River Walk has more to offer than Market Square, but Market is still worth a few hours of your time, especially for Mi Tierra.
Pearl has great restaurants. Botika amazing
Born and raised San Antonian and I've NEVER heard of this place. Wtf
I live in Salt Lake city Utah, the one I miss the most is the tex mex food.
I respect her for saying it's not trying to be Mexican food but that It's it's own cuisine.
It should be obvious. The reason why I visit San Antonio is for the Tex Mex food. If I want the real version I go to Mexico
It's kind of overrated imo.
This place is not what it use to be. Its a tourist trap. The staff is rude as fuk. 2 hour wait on wkds "pre pandemic of course". Food sits on counter cause servers are sooo lazy to help run food. Managers are stuck running food. By the time you get food its cold. Toxic work environment. Btw... I know this cause i use to work there. Hi employee turn over. Go to Lupe Tortilla instead.... Hell, even Chuy's is better.
My wife and I went to San Antonio right before we got married. We now have been married 30 years. Have been to San Antonio at least 20 times. We live in Dallas/Ft Worth. Every time we go this is always on the list. Love it!
I'm from Arizona. Just something about San Antonio. The food. Man the women.. I lived there for a very short period. First time I ever had big red and barbacoa..good memories..
This is a nasty tourist trap deluxe. Awful strip mined food. Like Joe Ts in FTW. Go down the street to Margaritas for some GOOD food and service.
La Margarita IS owned by the same mi tierra owners!
Same owners and they even serve a few of the exact same plates.
The food is not that great and very bland. Went there twice, both times not good. Service is bad as well. But the surroundings are pretty and historic.
I might check it out
✌🤠🤙
If I'm ever visiting or passing through SA I always stop here and run straight to the bread.
Well at least they're not hiding the fact that they're Tex Mex. The question is: Are there any good Mexican restaurants in San Antonio?
Buckets!!
That place is wayyy overrated. Average at best.
One of my favorite places in Texas
We’ve been there. It is an experience not to be misses.
Is like taco bell no bueno can food
Is this on the riverwalk???
No but it isn’t to far from it. It is a great place to eat.
@@dorrisbeseril1636 ,Thank You
Bucket list, for sure.
Been going there since I was a boy. Some think it's just a tourist trap but the food is good, the price is right and the portions are big.
It's just a tourist trap. There are other text mex restaurants in SA that are better!
You probably had a bad experience, this place’s food is as San Anto as it gets. You’d be surprised how much of the clientele are locals, especially from the westside.
Went to SA to eat at this “24 hour restaurant” we get there to eat at 8.45 and the lady sitting people is rude as hell replies “we aren’t taking any more orders”. Very rude. So much for 24 hour. They’re not. And they are rude as hell.
Covid
@@ratherbfishing455 covid caused people to be rude ?
Im very picky about my Mexican food and this was more TexMex.
Took the family for my birthday and it was a disaster.
I might be biased because I had 1 shit experience but, I dont feel inclined to return.
Its hard to like texmex food when you like real mexican food 😂i speak for myself
That’s why us locals stay away from there. Love the breakfast plates there but for dinner, no
You uncontrolled farting the next day
Spain
Love her accent
R M I don’t get it. It’s just a standard American accent.
What accent ???
