Business Summary what's this?
Mi Tierra in San Antonio is a two star Californian restaurant. Know before you go: this place features outdoor dining. Upon entering the restaurant, you'll find a romantic atmosphere. This restaurant is very affordable. This place features private rooms, breakfast, brunch, and catering. This place is open late and good for groups. Diners found the food very poor quality.
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.
