Mi Tierra Tacos Y Platillos — Restaurant in Foley

It has been a long time since eating here. None of the people greeted me. None were cheerful None talked to me. They spoke Spanish amongst themselves. There were 3 booths filled when I entered about 6 pm. I never saw any more customers come in to dine. Because I am pre-diabetic I drink only water. The waitress brought a pitcher of water and put it on the table with a straw besides the pitcher. I asked for a glass. They said they have no glasses. That everyone drinks from the pitcher. I said, "That is uncouth!!" "Where is the glass?" They said they have none. I asked for a cup. She brings a styerfoam cup the size of a giant mug and pours all the water from the pitcher into the giant cup. Then she finds a lid and places the lid on the cup. I insert my straw and drink water from this giant cup. They bring out my steak burrito which is supposed to have beans, rice, and avocado. Guess what!!? The beans, rice, and avocado is not on the plate but inside the steak burrito!! A huge burrito that made!! While eating a fly lands on my other half of the burrito. I pinch off the part the fly landed on and was disgusted at the thought of eating where the fly landed with its dirty feet!! I managed to eat both halves of the huge burrito. There were 4 hot sauces to select from and all were "muy cielente". That is "very hot". When I was obviously finished and ready to leave no one brought the bill to the table, so, I said, "I guess I pay up there?" I proceeded to the counter with cash and the waitress handed the bill to the cashier who never greeted me, was talking with some man, said $13.19 to me, took my money, returned the change, and I do not recall her saying, "Thank you" or anything!! Even after I said. "Hope it does not rain." She said NOTHING!! The man repeated what I said, "Hope it does not rain." Not one of the waitresses spoke to me, greeted me, said thanks for coming, or have a nice night, come again!! This is the worse place ever!!! How can these people be in business? They must feed family and friends only!! They must want only Spanish speaking people to come to them. No...

I am always on the hunt for a good authentic Mexican restaurant...however i almost always finding that I am doomed to be let down. UNTIL NOW. Don't let appearances fool you, it is not what is outside but what is inside that counts! The food. The chips were maybe a bit overdone but the salsa was house made and super fresh. 3 of us dined in. It will help if you speak a small amount of Spanish. We ordered tacos de Carne asada, enchiladas (half pollo and half carnitas) and a carnitas burrito....we were NOT let down. Dont expect style in their plating....just focus on the food. The tacos were authentic served with country onions and radishes....and they did not skimp. 3 tacos will fill you up!!!! The enchiladas come as 5 small enchiladas and may have been the best of group. The burrito was enormous and tasty fill with Spanish rice frsh avocado slices pico and a hefty portion of meat. We left full, happy and satisfied knowing I've finally found a good spot. Too bad there is not one like this in Pensacola. Sorry I didn't take pictures, was too busy...

We read that this place was authentic, but weren't prepared for how authentic. My husband and I had some trouble ordering. They don't have your typical 10 types of enchiladas, smothered burritos etc. After conversation with the waitress, I ordered a steak burrito and my husband ordered a pork sopa. There is no liquor here. I had an orange soda. The salsa served with the chips was fresh and delicious. My burrito came out and I gasped at the size of it. Some Mexican Americans at the next table laughed. It was HUGE. But so so so good. We did take some leftovers home. The sopa was also very good, but not what we are used to. The lunch, including tip,...
