Mi Tierra Cafe y Panaderia

Most renown Mexican restaurant as it has been around for 8 decades, since 1941. Capturing San Antonio history with its iconic artist wall paintings of famous community members of San Antonio to include famous stars who have made their way here. This is definitely a go to tourist place, a must add to your bucket list when visiting San Antonio or celebrating a special occasion. I have grown up coming here for years as I live in Seguin and it is an easy location to get to as it is right off the highway. You will be paying more for the Mexican Nostalgia, the atmosphere as it is FUN and colorful. The Mariachis are wonderful, the wait staff all dressed accordingly...you feel like your are in a Mexican kitchen with family all around. The menu is priced decently but expect it little pricey but that us due to location and its famous reputation. My plate was $13.99 so not too bad and it included the guacamole. The refried beans were good, red enchiladas very soft and the tortillas actually AWESOME! Felt like home. As you look everyone there laughing and really enjoying themselves. We were there to celebrate a graduation. My brother was able to go an hour before everyone got there to accommodate our huge group. Right outside as you step out the doors is the Mercado where you can purchase Mexican mercantile and agua frescas, etc and enjoy Mexican bands. Feels like you are in Laredo. As you are leaving, the bakery is available. For me, I was in line, but as I stood there and looked options, I got out, I felt like there were too many of these "fancy, coconutty, pastries. I just didn't feel it. I loved the old style with empanadas, galletas, conchas along with a few fancy to include a nice praline etc. But this bakery did have options like from your trips to Mexico for the different dulces. I must warn you PARKING IS HORRIBLE. Lots of construction around. Currently I definitely will not be bringing my parents any time soon especially my dad and wheelchair. Just not much room left to maneuver. I suggest pay the $10 for parking and let the parking guy guide you across street. Watch your steps. If you choose free parking at the restaurant it us TIGHT! They do have valets that help parking but know you will be blocked. But all in all, it was GREAT FUN!
