    Seafood enchiladas with cheese sauce, rice with sliced avocados, lettuce and tomatoes.

    My husband, grown daughter and myself went to Mi Tierra earlier tonight. The atmosphere was relaxed and the food was great. Everything cooked to perfection. It was delicious. The staff were very courteous and filled our glasses often. A very nice dinner.

    Needed a quick lunch after visiting Walmart and this spot was pretty empty at 12 on a Monday. Service was pretty fast even with a large party. Loved that the salsa comes in carafes with little dishes you can pour individual servings into. Everyone in our group got their food as ordered and we all enjoyed it. I can't wait to come back for margaritas, because the bar looked like it would be great during Happy Hour.

    I came to NKY for a Christmas visit, and my family brought us here, claiming the fajitas were A+. Being accustomed to top notch Mexican food in Colorado, I doubted any place in KY would knock my socks off, but I was wrong! This place is awesome! The Chips and Salsa were house made and delicious! I had to convince myself to stop gobbling them up to leave room for dinner. I ordered the Fajitas Texanas with Shrimp and marinated beef, and they were the best fajitas I've ever had. They came sizzling on a cast iron with veggies. The roasted tomatoes were soooo good. The side dish with all the fajita fixings was plentiful and delicious! My husband's frozen margarita was also delicious. This restaurant is a favorite of my family's! Highly recommend!

    Chips & Salsa, margarita

    The best Mexican food in Northern Ky, authentic salsa, hot chips and great margarita. The enchilada sauce is to die for. Love this place.

    This spot was great! It was clean, tables were spaced out, and staff was friendly. I had a margarita and arroz con pollo. They were both great and inexpensive. I will be back in the future.

    We go here from time to time. The interior is colorful, pretty clean, and roomy. Compared to similar restaurants in the area, the food is a tad pricey. I usually get the mixed fajitas for one. Its good, served hot and what I expect. The chicken nachos are a nice appetizer but it's inconsistent. Sometimes there's a noticeable difference in chicken, other times the entire order seems smaller. Nothing realy bad to say, but nothing great either. It's good, not fantastic.

Great atmosphere. Friendly staff and great food. The place is very clean and well maintained. We started with the Heart and Palm Salad. Perfect portion tossed with homemade honey balsamic dressing, really good!! I had the Chicken Gumbo, meaty and tasty with a perfect amount of spice to light up the tastebuds. The Shrimp PoBoy bruschetta was very flavorful. My lobster dip was nice and creamy and work well on the sliced crostini bread. We all had the Blackened salmon with rice & beans. The salmon was perfectly cooked and very flavorful with just enough blackened seasoning to enhance the flavor. Food presentation was perfect, everything was plated nicely They have a great selection of bourbon. We chose ours after just three selections but they had many more. The owner came by our table and introduced herself, something you rarely see nowadays The cost was reasonable, and we have added this to our list of top restaurant selections in Newport, Kentucky. Thank our server, Sam for the great service and menu advice. Five stars.

We had the filet mignon and 3 cheese Mac and cheese. The filet mignon had a very nice crust on the outside and cooked perfectly inside. We like it more on the rare side! The Mac and cheese was excellent. Had the key lime pie and crème brûlée for dessert. The service was excellent. The setting inside has been changed and some of the cool parts of York street still remains. Overall a very fine establishment in Newport ! They recently opened for lunch so we will have to try that out.

Not to mention the fact that you HAVE TO HAVE A RESERVATION, was mind boggling for the place. Like the server was very nice and all, that is a plus. Though sadly the food, we had the gumbo and etu fay, it was honestly pretty sad. Like it's up there with the top 5 most sad restaurants I've ever eaten at. The food was pretty bland, and lacked any form of spice. Not to mention it was hard to tell what was actually in it, like a lot of the ingredients tasted over cooked. So yeah it's going to be a no for me.

The wicker chairs in the section to the left of the bar as you face the bar were unusually deep and low. Over time I think we all adjusted, but sitting in them definitely felt unusual. There are other chairs throughout the restaurant. I recommend finding a table with different chairs. Our waiter was knowledgeable and very efficient. We hadn't checked on the website, but found out Thursday is oyster day, with $1 oysters and fried oysters and $1.50 for Oyster Bienville. The fried oysters were delicious. The raw oysters were good, though I had one that was gritty. We are going again in two weeks and will try the Oyster Bienville along with other assorted oysters. Two of us had the special Pan Seared Sea Bass. It came highly recommended and did not disappoint. The crisp on the top was delicious and the fish itself was delicate and moist. It did indeed melt in my mouth. The potatoes were very good, though I didn't finish all of them. The greens were good. Mark had a ribeye and is still raving about it today. He ordered the preparation version made with just salt and pepper. He also had a cup of gumbo. He said it had an amazing depth of flavor. We wrapped up with dessert. Three folks had Key Lime Pie. I opted for Karma's Opera Crème Cake. Oh my goodness, it was huge, sweet and delicious. I tried a bit of key lime and it just didn't compare. That said, those who had the Key Lime Pie loved it. Not only would we return, but we have the date already scheduled. I'm looking forward to trying something different.

The food is outstanding across the board--from the steaks to the cheese sticks--but the real star is their bread pudding. It's absolutely worth the trip from anywhere in the tri-state area. Parking is also easy and convenient, with a garage right across the street, as well as their own lot and additional street parking.

Both were friendly & acknowledged the birthday girl in our party. Atmosphere is great. You could comfortably walk in wearing jeans or come dressed up. Neither would be over or under dressed. The menu has juuuust the right amount of options, which is great! Heather was our waitress & while she was kind, her service skills were lacking. Granted we weren't at a Michelin Star Restaurant, but we also weren't at a dive bar. There was an endless amount of awkward reaching through, over & around when refilling drinks. There were a couple of instances where she actually touched our shoulders to nudge us to the side so she could reach through. Totally not okay during service at a restaurant nicer than a dive bar. We ordered the cheese sticks starter which were so yummy! Highly recommend! A couple of us ordered the Cesar side salad & were highly disappointed. The dressing tasted like it was mayonnaise heavy & then watered down by lettuce that wasn't dried after being rinsed. Even adding tons of extra pepper didn't help. The lettuce also tasted like it has been too wet for too long. The lobster mac was ordered in the group & it was tasty but soooo greasy. So, order with caution. We had the Black N Bleu salad in the group & that was good. The Atlantic Salmon was another dinner ordered & the crust seasoning was delicious! Sadly, the salmon was a bit overdone. It does come with a lobster cream sauce, which confused me. It was only so so & I definitely skipped it entirely. The steamed broccoli was done to perfection though. Not soggy & not too crunchy. We also had the 12oz ribeye & that was great! Flavorful, cooked perfectly! I will add though, that the steak knives need an upgrade. I really wanted to love this place, but we won't return on our next trip to Newport/Cincinnati.
