This place is a gem. Must say this is our favorite go to for Mexican food. The service is fantastic. Their enchiladas are great, Can't go wrong with any of their tacos . One of my go to items is their El Pastor. So fresh and delicious. We've also had their churros and delicious homemade Tres Leches cake which were a big hit. Can't forget their refreshing margaritas... many options, including a very tasty "Skinny" version. Whether you are looking for a place to grab lunch, watch the game or just have a great meal. Celebrated a birthday party there and all the guests were very impressed. read more

Food and service were great! Our waitress was really sweet even though she didn't check on the table much. The only complaint is that thwre is no A/C. We visited on a hot Chicago evening and were sweating through dinner read more

Cute and authentic spot with good food, drinks, and friendly service. The salsa and deals stood out, and it wasn't too crowded. Worth a stop if you're nearby, but not a destination I'd go out of my way for. If they had 3.5 stars would put that. Nothing bad but nothing over the top. read more

Service was excellent - we were served at our table by the bartender and she was incredibly attentive and kind! She also made us the best drinks. We had the strawberry & tamarind margarita, and then strawberry mojitos and they were delicious. We also had the elote appetizer and it was phenomenal - would highly recommend! Each of us had the three taco platter and we both loved the chicken tinga tacos, will definitely be coming back for them again! read more

Highly recommend this place for micheladas and margaritas! Came in here on a Friday afternoon, the atmosphere and staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. We shared the order of flautas and it was a perfect appetizer to share amongst three people along with the complementary chips and salsa. We visited from California, and we agreed that this place had the best micheladas that we had on our trip. 10/10 would recommend read more

I had been looking fwd to trying out this place and o really wanted to give it a great rating but It came a bit short. We went mid week, early evening, the place was empty. We ordered drinks, I felt that they were just ok. The food was also nothing to rave about. I would love to give it another go and maybe try out the outdoor seating before it gets really cold. Maybe I just went on a bad day. But I felt that the food / drinks were overly priced for just mediocre. Staff was nice. Service was fast. Parking is off street and can be challenged, quite busy area. read more

Quaint neighborhood place, authentic and great tasting food. Good service and good prices for value

Wonderful music and food if I could give this one hundred stars I would. My cortisol was lowered here by the ambience and lack of people. Wonderful service read more

Yummy brunch location! Stumbled upon it by accident and I'm glad I did. It felt like a comfy neighborhood restaurant you can casually walk in with your family and/or friends. There were plenty of seats when we got there around 12:30pm on a Saturday. Some of the brunch deals we took advantage of were the $25 mimosa kit and complimentary chips/salsa. The chips were thin and tasty, and the salsa was fresh and delicious. For my meal, I ordered the green chilaquiles. One of the best I've had in Chicago so far, and they gave plenty of meat. It was a bit salty. Although I didn't mind too much because it was just so good. I would definitely come back and order it again. read more

Catching up on Yelp reviews in 2024. I visited here back in March with some of my fraternity brothers on a Saturday night. Mi Nueva Tierra had a cozy neighborhood vibe and they had a DJ that was starting late night playing party music. They had a pretty big bar and the feel of the place was vintage. They had a big liquor selection and we were drinking Lime Margheritas, which were amazing! Chips were solid and the salsa was slightly spicy. I ordered some steak and carnitas tacos. The steak was very juicy and tender and the carnitas were very flavorful as well. I loved the corn tortillas, which were fresh and crispy. I wish there was some green and red salsas that were on the side to place over the tacos. The beans were very good, but the rice was ok as it was pretty dry. Overall, I am a fan of Mi Nueva Tierra! It has a good neighborhood vibe, food was good, service was good, and prices are good. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Got some good Mexican drinks and food one evening here. It's pretty fast and has a chill atmosphere with a sports bar feel to it. Mi Nueva Tierra is a great place for getting some good cocktails and tacos. Also has plenty of TVs for watching games. The prices are pretty good and the food was fresh and not canned type of stuff. After looking up a few places around Ashland and Fullerton, we came here. It doesn't look like much from the outside. The inside isn't that big either, but there's enough room for a small gathering or so. Got seats at the bar. We ordered some drinks first, of course margaritas. It's about $8 for the MNT Margarita, the Classic Lime. The food may hav been even better though. Cheap. We got the Veggie Tacos. It's $4 each. These come with cilantro, lettuce, and roasted vegetables. Small but mighty. There's also other classics like burritos and tortas among others. Check it out if you like the idea of Mexican food in a sports bar. It's basically what this place is like. There's good drinks and food at good prices for most things. read more

We came to eat @ Crio on Clybourn Ave just down the street from Mi Nirvana Tierra but they weren't open. Searching Yelp we found Mi Nuevo Tierra about 1/2 mile south of Crio. Since we were already in the neighborhood we decided to give them a try. We all ordered the enchilada mole dinner that came w/what else beans & rice. Decent food but nothing earth shattering that makes me want to come back again. The salsa that came with the chips was very good. Nice restaurant w/ good service, but unfortunately for me it was good but nothing spectacular read more

Easily the best Mexican I've had in or near Lincoln Park. The service was even better. I will be back here. A lot.

Amazing food and they are always willing to accommodate large groups with reservations. Have had to make a couple large reservations here relatively last minute (within 1-2 days before) and they're always so kind with allowing this. Service also great and owner very affable. Love me some of their margs and their chicken mole enchiladas! read more

This place rocks -- family owned small business with the best enchiladas I've ever had, great music and tv , great margs and chips & salsa. Service 10/10. Will be back read more

The best authentic mexican food I've had in the area! Great neighborhood spot with a nice outdoor patio. Everyone was very friendly. Looking forward to going back! read more

We came on a whim for a quick lunch- we got recommended to go here. The food was average. Nothing was bad, but we were left wanting better. Of the 3 tacos, the Al pastor had the most flavor, but the meat was burnt/hard. The chicken and carnitas tacos lacked seasoning and were dry, so you could hardly notice a difference between which was chicken vs carnitas. Overall, decent if you're in the area! If not food, you can certainly get drinks! read more

Great little corner bar and restaurant. I had the flautas with chicken tinga and it was yummy!! Well seasoned and not over fried. The horchata was also super good and made in house!! No ready mix thank god!! Recommend read more

We were visiting in the area and wanted to get Mexican food before heading back. We ordered a drink each and they did not disappoint. The chips were freshly fried and warm and the salsa was really good - we got seconds! Ordered nachos and enchiladas to share and they were excellent. The guy who waited on us was very nice and attentive and even had us try the amazing family recipe mole at the end. Will definitely come back and recommend to others! read more

This place has amazing food, amazing service, and amazing margaritas. Would give it more than five stars if I could.

We came here for Mother's Day brunch at 11:30 on a Sunday. The place was empty and it's still took about 30 minutes for our Server to take our food order. 20 minutes after we ordered our food she came to tell us that there were no more rice and beans. The place had opened at 10:30 AM..... The food was OK but the service was bad. read more

I had a chance to check out the chicken bowl and taco plate yesterday at Mi Nueva Tierra. I popped in as soon as they opened. The staff was really pleasant and the food was amazing! Cocktails were scrumptious too. They have happy hour and brunch specials this is definitely a nice spot for dates or hanging out with friend. There is an outdoor patio too friends :) read more

If you haven't been here yet, add it to your list. The food and drinks are absolutely delicious and Adriana and Luiz's attention to freshness, making things from scratch, and overall hospitality would be something to miss. Any of their margaritas (especially the watermelon) are absolutely delicious and their carnitas is some of the best I have had. read more

This is specifically for the margaritas! We didn't have a chance to grab food as we stopped in for the drinks. Sat at the bar and received attentive service right away. The hands down standout is the fresh ingredients in the margaritas! They make them fresh and based on drink preferences the bartender, who I think is the owner, suggested watermelon. I like watermelon itself and not usually flavored things because of the artificial taste. This was fantastic! It was a very light watermelon flavor that was incredibly refreshing! My husband got the tamarind, which was good but more of a stronger taste. I love the classic lime and tried the pineapple. Everything was delicious. None of the flavors had the super syrupy taste which is what I always look for. I will definitely be back to try the sangria! read more

We stopped by because we were driving through the area. The food was just okay, but the service was disappointing. Our waiter spent most of the time on her phone and gave us an attitude when we asked how much longer our food would take. She never checked on us, even though we were the only customers there. For something as simple as tacos, the wait shouldn't have been more than 45 minutes. Personally, I wouldn't come here again. read more

I went on "Taco Tuesday " they had no real specials, and the food was only OK. We order tacos, fries, chips, and guacamole. The best part were the fries and the green spicy salsa they had. I did have 2 draft beers. The first one was flat and the second pour was good. Service was fine as we were the only ones in the restaurant, which made me a little hesitant to enter... just wondering why it was empty. As far as the place itself ....it kind of smelled like old thrift shop when i walked in, and everything seemed dated... nothing really modern or new but was as clean as possible. You can tell the napkins and glasses have been used a million times and not replaced. So, all in all, would I ever go back? Nope it's a pass for me, but hey, I try almost every place once . ~foodfan read more

My coworkers flew into town for a work event and I picked this location because we had chosen Mexican food for post-work team dinner. I and everyone agreed that all the food they served were delicious. The salsa they initially served was so flavorful, but be warned it has quite a spicy initial kick. I had ordered the pork, steak, and shrimp tacos. The pork and steak were delicious but the shrimp taco was the star. So flavorful and juicy! I would def recommend. read more

This is my go to spot! The menu is always evolving with new specials. The ingredients and food is always fresh and beyond satisfying. They have a full bar and make delicious drinks including margaritas which are not done without syrups or in large batches! The vibe is always welcoming with love sporting events and classic catchy tunes! Do yourself a favor and stop in to this quaint family owned establishment. You will feel like family guaranteed! read more

The food here was incredible, perfect portions. I had a carnitas burrito bowl and like sometimes carnitas are greasy but these were not at all they were so flavorful and yummy. My husband had steak fajitas and did not look up from his plate once until he was finished, said it was the best fajitas he'd ever had. And the margarita deal on Thursday happy hour was super nice also. We'll be back! read more

I don't see it. Maybe it was an off day, but the food was not spectacular. The skirt steak- tampiqueña was dry, and greasy. It tasted like it was heated on day old grease/oil. The beans were ok, rice was a tad burned, and the guacamole was fine. Their Margaritas were fine. Nothing to wow about. If there were other options nearby, I'd probably have this as a second choice read more
