Visiting from Texas and more so, growing up in El Paso, I was not expecting much from any so-called Mexican food joint, especially one located in the north eastern part of Kansas, but I was pleasantly surprised and extremely impressed with the fare. We walked into a brightly lit restaurant with a few booths and tables and several vibrantly painted murals on the walls. Marta was our server and she was quick and efficient. If you look up hustling in the dictionary, I'm sure you'll find a picture of her. She was amazing, friendly and accommodating. I looked over the menu and was surprised to see such items as carne guisada and chile Colorado. I opted for the flautas which stated that they were made with flour tortillas (a Tex-Mex indicator). In my neck of the woods, flautas are made with corn tortillas so I was preparing myself for a little disappointment, but when my meal came out I was happily surprised to find that they were actually made with corn tortillas. They were delicious, perfectly crispy and the shredded chicken was flavorful. We did have to order a side of rice and beans, which seemed odd, typically flautas come on a plate WITH rice and beans in my experience so that did add to our bill. I suggest you make sure you read what is actually included and don't just assume. The rice and beans however, were extremely flavorful and authentic. My son usually eats about 1/2 the rice & bean sides, but he plowed through both leaving me with sadly, but a few bites. My husband ordered some green chile chicken enchiladas and said they spectacular. I hope we see Marta next time we're in town, because she made the entire experience memorable. I'm excited, we found an authentic Mexican restaurant that truly holds up to its name.

I'm a big fajitas fan and often order a variation of that at any Mexican restaurant we visit, and the Alambre fajitas might have just become my favorite I've EVER had. They were delicious! We also enjoyed the Pollo Hawaiano and a side of Elotes Street Corn. Mi Tierra had a hole-in-the-wall vibe that I loved with great service and even better food. If you're looking for your fix for some delicious Mexican food, look no further than Mi Tierra.

On their website it had a Margarita special which is actually what we came for but when we ordered, they said they don't do that anymore. We felt like we were already seated so we got a Margarita and some food anyways. The food was ok, not really great but not bad. The Margarita was very strong and didn't do much to counter the tequila flavor like a lot of places do. Our server seemed to avoid us for a while when we were hoping to get the check. I talked to some other people who had gone and said it wasn't very good either. I think there's a lot of potential here but I'll need to wait before coming back too soon.
