    This is a popular place for my coworkers to meet up after work for drinks and dinner. I wasn't crazy about it on my first visit, but it has really started to grow on me. It's still not my favorite Mexican restaurant in the world, but it's not terrible. The food is okay, standard American-Mexican fare. Their salsa, though, is phenomenal. It's fresh, spicy, and full of cilantro. I've been trying to watch carbs lately, so last time I went I asked for a plate of fajita vegetables as a substitute for the rice and beans that come on the side. I was prepared to spend extra and receive a little plate of peppers -- but they gave me a huge plate of beautifully charred peppers, onions, and tomatoes, which was awesome! And they didn't charge extra, which was doubly awesome.

    Had heard good things via word of mouth so wife and I decided to try it. Was very disappointed. Portion size was decent but food was generally very bland. The salsa had very little flavor, the cheese dip was good. Within minutes of leaving both wife and I had upset stomachs and I felt bad the rest of the day.

    I have a confession: I love stripmall Mexican joints. Now, I know exactly what I'm going to get when I go, which is Americanized, super-basic but delicious taco platters with rice and beans and a nice chips and salsa to start. You do this for me, and you've got mi corazón. Mi Tierra was right on the money with the food. The service ... eh. This restaurant is hard to find. My GPS kept saying it was right next to the Walmart but in fact it is down a road next to the Walmart. If you get to the end of the Walmart plaza and hit the lights, you've gone too far. Inside, it is family-friendly comfortable to the max. Brightly colored murals painted on the walls, soft plush booths with Mi Tierra artfully carved into the backboards, the works. We were sat by our server who brought us menus and chips and salsa. The homemade salsa, which was delicious actually came in a container and he brought a bowl for each of us. No double dipping here. And the chips were warm, win and more win. We figured out what we wanted and then ... waited. Forever. Our server never came and eventually a manager saw us still waiting and took our order. OK. Food came out quickly and was just what I wanted, tacos, warm, flavorful, cheap. Perfect. But when it was time to pay? Again, the waiter dropped off our check and then ... we waited. Forever. And again the manager came over, apologized and took our money. Very strange. Ah well, this place is a win for sure. If you know what you're going to get, and what you're getting into, then it's pretty damn good.

    When it comes to Mexican food, we've all been to about 20 places that seem to be carbon-copies of one another. However, of these "generic" Mexican destinations, I feel that Mi Tierra is a step above. The food is excellent and the severs are friendly. I recommend the Burrito Mi Tierra - a LARGE flower tortilla filled with grilled peppers and onions and your choice of chicken or steak (I recommend asking for both). Mi Tierra is our preferred Mexican destination.

    Hits the spot errry time! Never had a bad meal there. The Shrimp a la Diabla is a favorite. Love the wait staff. And, the margaritas are good, and cheap!

    This place is next to Wal-Mart in Ft. Wright. It's where Noble Roman's was previously. I've heard good things about this place and I guess my expectations were too high. It was okay. The salsa was so bad however, that I thought it was a sick joke. I was waiting for them to bring out the real salsa. I'm guessing it was from a can or jar. Nothing fresh about it at all. I ordered the carnitas and it was easily 60% fat. The wait staff was very friendly and on top of everything. In fact, my pop got topped off after every sip. I was disappointed, but I'm willing to give it another chance.

    The pejorative use of the term "strip mall Mexican restaurant" is ill fitting as some of the best spots in the region happen to be located in them. In fact, the truly authentic ones, for which most non-Mexicans would not really like, happen to be located behind gas stations and in Tiendas. Mi Tierra is a decent Mexican spot but has a few more qualities to note. I ordered the green verde enchilada and my wife the mole enchilada. The good was very fresh, the service crisp, the restaurant bright and clean. We had no trouble with the waiters as some of these other reviewers griped about, they speak English well. In fact, if you can't communicate with someone who speaks a different language using gestures or pointing, you should consider getting out of the house more often.

    Excellent food and prices, very clean. Friendly staff place was packed. If your looking for good Mexican this is it they also have vegetarian options.

    Everything about this place was bright. The decor and the staff but especially the food. My wife and I ordered to two chicken dishes - chicken with chorizo and chicken Cancun. Both tasted bright and fresh as did the chips and salsa. I did not expect this for a place tucked into a strip mal behind a Wal-mart. Nice. The only issue we had was a language problem. The servers English was better than my Spanish which isn't saying much. However, I'm going to take that as a good sign at a Mexican restaurant.

    I considered it a bad sign that the daily special on the whiteboard when you first walk in was misspelled Carne "Azada", but the carafe of fresh, delicious salsa on the table quelled any doubts about the authenticity of the place. However, the chips weren't warm at all and the waiter brought me a giant mug of Dos Equis Amber after I ordered the Lager (think that was a language misunderstanding, not just bad service though). I ordered Enchiladas Verdes with Chicken and since they only came with rice, added a side of refried beans. I would have been full without them, so unless you have to have them, the side of Mexican rice is plenty. The chicken was high quality and the Verde sauce was flavorful without too much heat. Nothing wow about any of it, but nothing disappointing either. They were pretty busy when we were there on a Friday evening, so service was a bit scattered, but still fairly efficient.

    I was in. I was annoyed by misbehaved children. I ate ok food. I can't say there was anything special enough to bring me back. There are better strip mall Mexican restaurants.

    This was my second visit to Mi Tierra. The food both times was good. It is a wholesome family atmosphere - lots of kids, and a kid-friendly menu. Service is OK - a little slow but if you're there with a group, it is less of an issue. I like that your salsa comes in a carafe - poor as much or little as you like. Chips are OK - not as tasty as say Don Pablo - but not dripping with oil like Don Pablo. It was very clean and all workers were friendly. It appears to be family-run and everyone working there appears to be Hispanic. I like this aspect, the American dream, etc., etc. and sincerely hope that they are successful! A negative is there is only a single 1-seater bathroom. If the place is full, and there are a lot of kids, this could be a problem. We will go back.

    This place was a big disappointment. I read all the hype here, and decided I wanted to try it out. My food wasn't worth the money. Portion sizes were smaller than most places I've been, and the prices were higher. I got the fajita quesadilla and it was just bland, and tasted like it lacked seasoning. Service was horrible, we never were offered a refill.. and that is unacceptable. It was slow, so the guys were all goofing off on their phones by the bathrooms. I'll never go back, sorry Mi Tierra but you are Mi Terrible.

    I'm from California and lived in San Diego to boot so maybe I'm a little picky about Mexican food. I would still not rate this place on par with a lot of the common taquerias I have had but for the greater Cincinnati area it is one of the best I've had. Their salsa actually tastes like it's made there and doesn't have the odd 'sweetness' that makes me suspect sugar has been added. The nachos could REALLY be improved by adding some of the common toppings you find on nachos like pico de gallo, beans, lettuce, sour cream. If you order carne asada nachos, you will get: tortilla chips, carne asada, and cheese - that's it. The platters are a much better deal and I would suggest getting a burrito. Everything comes with a cheese sauce though (which is OK if you're into that) and I would suggest telling them to put it on the side. It's the same stuff you get on your nachos so . . . you know, you could dip your chips in there and bam, you got nachos. Otherwise, a good deal, pretty good food. I rate a lot of Mexican places on their beans and rice and both are pretty tasty at this place.

    This place is amazing. I've been there twice, and it's by far the fastest restaurant I've ever been to. Both times I went, I had my food within five minutes of ordering. The service was incredible. One of the things I love most, is that the salsa is brought out in a large jar, that way you can pour it yourself without having to ask for more. Genius! The food is really good, and reasonably priced. Also, they now have a punch card which makes it an even better deal. You go there eight times, and get the ninth meal free. I've been to a ton of mexican restaurants and it couldn't get any better. I highly recommend this place.

    Well, I had heard good things about this place, and since I live nearby decided to try it. Meh. The cheese dip was a bit runny, the tortilla chips tasted a little stale, unlike other Mexican restaurants where they are served warm and crispy. My friend had the Carnitas which were very tender, but the sides (rice and beans) were very bland and not unique. I had a combo platter (Quesadilla, Chili Relano, and Burrito) and none of them were very seasoned or spicy. Since it was all smothered in the same red sauce, everything tasted the same. The wait staff was quick and attentive, although my friend received his entree a good 5 minutes before me. So it was strange to just sit there and watch him eat, and while the plates were hot, my burrito was close to cold. All in all, pretty average and when you consider there are a lot of better Mexican restaurants now in the area (Acapulco, Three Amigos, Montoya's) I don't think I will be returning anytime soon.

    My parents and I went here before a Reds game and really enjoyed the place. It is very close to the Fort Wright Walmart. The decor is bright and fresh. The salsa was just ok. It could have used more flavor and maybe a spicy option. Since we were eating an early dinner we decided to split two meals and a tamale. I am glad we only had two full meals because the portions were huge! The beef Chimichanga Monterrey was very good and came with beans and rice. My father had the Quesadilla Hawaiana which was good but a little two sweet for a dinner option. I would recommend getting something else - but I don't blame this on the place it was just a weird combo with chicken, onions and pineapple with cheese on top. The tamale was amazing! My father loved it and said it was the best he had ever had. I thought it was super tasty and would totally order more next time! At the end of dinner we had eaten everything on our plates. It was so tasty and filling! Make sure you bring your appetite. I would highly recommend this place!

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
