Mi Tierra Restaurante

I've been looking for Colombian empanadas for a very long time, but the area I'm in is saturated with Mexican restaurants and they sale Mexican empanadas. Mexican and Colombian empanadas ARE NOT THE SAME. I like the Colombian empanadas best, they are filled with beef, potatoes and I have no idea what else but the flavors are excellent. A quick Google search and this place was at the top of the list as near me. I visited on a Sunday, greeted as I walked in and ordered 6 empanadas. The young lady that took my order told me what ingredients were used and I knew I found the right place. I had a lady that used to make these for me, but she went back home to Colombia. The flavor of the meat, spice, potatoes blended well with the aji salsa (green salsa) and I was left full and satisfied. I took my order to go, but they are doing dine in and it was only 2 couples in at the time, but they were seated in two different sections for social distancing purposes. I will return,maybe try other dishes, but for now empanadas it is for me.

My wife and I went with our daughter and son-in-law in March. We had various plates and everyone loved their food (I irresponsibly threw our receipt out before getting around to this review so can't adequately describe). I was having difficulty eating at that time (medical condition) so couldn't get anything spicy or more adventurous, but I do recall my plate (see picture) had a fried egg, small steak, fried pork, plantains, beans, avocado and of course rice. I didn't see oxtail but love it, heard they had it and would like to go back for it (or one of their exotic dishes like the whole fish I saw).The prices were fair. The only drawback was 'part' of the service - we expected them to check on us a little more than they did so we ended up waiting for certain items, and it was pretty hard to find someone who could give us change for a tip (mostly due to not having adequate English speakers).

I came here with my columbian friend to pick up food, I forgot what she ordered but it was an oxtail soup, sausage, rice, fried egg, plantains, and red beans. All of the food was full of flavor and unique. We had a margarita which was huge and also really good. All of the food was delicious so we will for sure be back. The service was really good, quick and prompt. I like how the place is decorated, it's tropical themed and feels like you're not in Memphis anymore lol.

We just left Mi Tierra. We intended to have a late dinner, then stay for some dancing. Yes, we have white skin, but my husband is from Peru, speaks Spanish as his first language, and is an excellent Latin dancer. The service was absolutely abysmal! I had to go the bar to get a glass of water, then was looked at in disdain when I asked for my husband's also to be refilled. The woman delivered our drinks and other than coming to our table with the water (because the bartender told her to), she never approached our table again until it was time to present the check. The drink menu says to ask for pricing before ordering alcohol. I did, and she wasn't sure of the price. We really intended to stay to dance, but she just brought us the check after we finished eating, never asked how everything was, did we want another drink, nothing. It's a good thing gratuity was automatically added to our (rather expensive) check ( this is an absolute pet peeve of mine) or she would not have gotten a dime. I would never, ever return to this place, where I believe we were treated with racial discrimination.

Pedí 3 tacos de Carne Asada para llevar. mi plato estaba lleno y la asada era genial. Mis camareras me mantuvieron entretenido e informado mientras esperaba mi comida. Doy un 4 estrellas SOLAMENTE porque daré un 5 estrellas cuando haya pedido una comida completa y coma en el restaurante. Con todo, vale la pena su tiempo y esfuerzo. ¡Parar en! I ordered 3 Carne Asada tacos to go. my plate was full and the asada was great. My waitresses kept me entertained and informed while I waited for my food. I am giving a 4 star ONLY because I will give a 5 star when I have ordered a full meal and eat at the restaurant. All in all, it is worth your time and effort. Stop in

The food and drinks are good. I love their pina coladas. On my first visit, my sister and I sat at a small table with 4 chairs and we were told we couldn't sit there because it was a four person table but as we looked around, there were no tables with just two chairs. Other parties of two were at 4 person tables but we were told they were waiting on people (who actually never arrived). We asked our waitress to just find us another seat but she got lost somewhere and never came back so we ended up at the bar. The bartender was really sweet and attentive so I'll probably just stick to sitting at the bar when I go.

The grub is good. The atmosphere is nice. The waitresses are fun. We had a nice evening.

If i could put zero stars i would. I along with 3 of my friends came tonight and a security stopped pointed at me and said the owner looked at the camera TONIGHT at 1:18 am and said i looked tipsy and wouldn't let me in. TERRIBLE SERVICE!

I ordered to go food this evening and the food all tasted old as if it was all the leftovers from earlier. It's very unfortunate as this is one of my number one spots to go to. It doesn't matter if you order to go or to eat in the restaurant the food should always be the same. Literally the food I got should have not been sold and thrown on the trash. Food at this restaurant is not cheap. Shame on them because I won't be back. One person can tell millions. This place has gone down hill. So sad it's not about quality any more it's just out to make the money. They certainly forgot the customers!

Excellent food and service. Festive feel to restaurant. Have gone there multiple times with family and we were all happy. Kid friendly
