Mi Tierra Cafe & Bakery
By day, a respectable place for families and power lunches; by night, the last stop after bars and clubs close.

What People Are Saying About Mi Tierra Cafe & Bakery
The Owner
Mi Tierra Cafe & Bakery
Owner
Open 24 hours a day and festooned with Christmas lights year-round, Mi Tierra Cafe is a little loco and a lot of fun. We've got strolling musicians, a huge selection of Tex-Mex dishes and the coldest beer in the Mercado.
Our magnificent carved oak bar is one of a kind. The bar is well known for its beauty and large selection of imported tequilas, beers and our famous margaritas. It's a genteel oasis in a hurried modern world.
Mi Tierra's bakery has been in operation since 1957, providing traditional Mexican panes dulces (sweetbreads) to a loyal following. Our master baker makes bread daily to insure that the big bakery case is stocked with fresh-out-of-the-oven treats in time for the breakfast rush.

The Scene
Mi Tierra carries the festive atmosphere of El Mercado indoors, with strings of colorful holiday lights that hang from the ceiling year-round. This family-run restaurant is a downtown landmark and tourists inevitably turn up here for Mexican breakfasts. Late-night crowds are made up of locals who know that the restaurant never closes.
The Food
The menu reflects the standard San Antonio Tex-Mex fare: cheese, eggs, beans and lots of it. This may not be the best Mexican food in town, but the tortillas are fresh and overall, it's a respectable introduction for the uninitiated. Don't forget that "bakery" is part of the official name for a reason: Stop by for above-average coffee and a pan dulce, like a delicious pumpkin empanada. Get it to go and stroll through El Mercado.

perfect experience! hostess's were fantastic and prompt, the food was wonderful, for those of you who complain about the parking it is becuase the family's grandfather built it and didn't know how popular it would soon be so they didn't make a large parking lot becuase it just started out at a couple of tables, everything was great i highly recomend it, if you are going to visit in the summer i recoment to get there early because the wait doesn become long, they dont save reservations unless you are a HUGE party over 20.. go check it out! i loved it~

I also posted a review on Yahoo Local. I am baffled by all the five stars. Different strokes for different folks, but come on really? Five stars? For those who really truly feel this is the best Mexican food they have ever had I would really like to understand where they are coming from. Average, at best. Authentic salsa? It is a fun place to go, lots of dazzle. But the food is bland, boring, and even the waitress had a hard time trying to think of something worth recommending. Green enchiladas boring and bland. Carnitas were actually good, but everything else was mediocre.

I AM FROM TEXAS AND HAD HEARD SO MUCH ABOUT THIS PLACE. FINALLY WENT DURING MY HURRICANE IKE EVACUATION. THE PLACE IS HARD TO FIND AND PARKING GOOD LUCK. THE INSIDE WAS NICELY DECORATED VERY NICE. THEIR MENUDO IS VERY GOOD AND SERVED WITH THE EXTRAS THAT ARE VITAL FOR GOOD MENUDO. AS FOR THE REST OF THE FOOD VERY TOURIST ORIENTED TACO BELL TASTING. THE QUESADILLA WAS WEIRD. INSTEAD OF A TORTILLA THEY USE A BREAD LIKE PITA BREAD WITH CHEESE. GREEN ENCHILADAS NO FLAVOR. BEANS ARE DRY OVERCOOKED. AND THEN YOU HAVE LIKE 20 MUSCIANS (TRIO'S GUITAR PLAYERS) WALKING AROUND ASKING OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO SING. COME ON GO AWAY LET ME EAT. WAITER WAS SO BUSY IT TOOK HIM FOREVER TO BRING OUR TICKET. I WENT AND SAW AND WILL NOT RETURN. DI D NOT TASTE THE PAN DULCE BUT LOOKED GOOD.
