Mi Tierra Mexican Kitchen — Restaurant in Tulsa

I had tried the Mi Tierra Cocina Mexicana in Glenpool in 2023. It was not impressive. Same name and owner, but not always the same results…… I have found that with these local chain restaurants, different locations with different managers and different cooks can mean vastly different dining experiences. With that said I’m trying the newest location on Yale.

Greeted and seated promptly. Good chips, fair salsas quickly arrived at the table. Ask for the hot stuff. You also get the restaurant’s signature nasty white dipping sauce. Or salad dressing or whatever it is? Disgusting. Trying something very different for me, El Guapo. (no, not me, the meal is called El Guapo) El Guapo is two thin chicken breasts seasoned, then lightly fried to form a delicate crisp finish on the edges. Fresh spinach decorated the chicken and all that covered with queso. The menu offers a choice of charro or black beans, but the waiter did not offer either. The meal was delivered with refried beans and rice. An excellent meal this was. Simple, flavorful, a five-star plate of food. I found it, a meal that would bring me back to Mi Tierra Mexican Kitchen. My wife had the Fiesta Bowl with the chicken. A large bowl of fresh lettuce, black beans, pico, avocado slices and healthy a drizzle of crema. The chicken was a substantial serving of the same grilled chicken as my meal, only chopped. A tasty lunch special. Nicely decorated inside, modern décor, booths and tables available. The service was very good. It was midafternoon. Lunch time for a group of Mexican electricians that rolled up in their white vans. A working man’s approved restaurant. I can go 5 stars…..excluding the white sauce.

Mi Tierra was great! All of the servers and staff were polite and welcoming. I saw at least four members of the staff during my visit; all of them checking in to make sure I was taken care of. I was a single table, but treated very important. I love the layout of the restaurant as the he space is smaller, but they have done a good job of maximizing it all.

I ordered the street tacos and they were delicious. You get 4 tacos with rice and beans with the meal. You have four options of meat, chorizo, carnitas, chicken, and pork. I ordered one of each to try them and all of them were excellent, with the pork option being one of the best pork street tacos I’ve ever had.

All in all, this was a good experience and I came away happy and full. Would highly recommend Mi Tierra if you are...

This is the worst "carne asada" I have ever had in my life.

The menu claims it is a ribeye. This is a fraudulent lie. It is flank steak.

Unmarinated. Unseasoned. Overcooked, flank steak. Bland. Tough. Horrible.

For what it is, this was ridiculously overpriced. The server was great but the management was unwilling to address this serious issue.

I will take this steak home and feed...
