Mi Tierra

This is a strip mall Mexican restaurant but the food is better than your average Mexican restaurant. The menu is massive and consists of the normal items you see at these places. The service is usually good in my experience. One menu item I love is the quesadilla hawaiiana which is a cheese sauce, chicken and pineapple. I end up going to this Mexican restaurant more than others in the area because unlike many of it’s competitors everything here always seems freshly made.

The food was decent, but we didn’t have very good service. It seemed like the waiter kept forgetting about our group.

Awesome food and great drinks, I had the peach margarita on the rocks and it was delicious! The kids drinks are not included in the meal and come in large glasses so I would recommend getting one and splitting it.

I ate at Mi Tierras tonight and was very pleased with the experience. My wife and I stopped in at about 5:30pm and we were seated immediately.
I ordered enchiladas rancheras and my wife ordered a burrito combo dinner. The food arrived at our table within minutes, the portions were very generous and it was very hot.
Both meals were tasty and the service was prompt and friendly. The atmosphere in the restaurant was casual, they had two large TV’s in the dining room featuring the latest sports news from ESPN. They offer the usual range of Mexican and domestic beers and also had a bar area available. I will return to Mi Tierras in the near future and recommend this restaurant to fans of Mexican cuisine in the area.

I have a nack for strip mall Mexican but this was a great find for northern Kentucky.
Service was mediocre while the food was above average. for just $ 11 my boyfriend and I split a pollo mariachi (chicken, peppers, onions, mushrooms covered in queso) which was served with rice beans and tortillas.
Their queso appetizer was bland, but with a touch of hot sauce it was addictively delicious.

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.

Great food and reasonably priced.
I wish they had gift cards. I know lots of people who would love to receive a gift card for Mi Tierra.

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 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.

the drinks are good and cheap. the service was good… however the food not so good, I was surprised they couldn’t. get fajitas right, mostly peppers an very sparse on the meat.

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.

Pretty tasty for cheap… I have had better but this is close to home.

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.

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.

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.

Everything about this place was bright. The décor 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 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.

My land is your land.
From here in Mexitucky,
You’ll go home happy.

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.

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.
