Mi Tierra - Deluxe burrito and ultimate margarita To Go - Mexican Near Me - Monroe, Washington

Rock solid place on the bustling thoroughfare that is Highway 2. Easy access as you traverse the span between you and the mountains, whatever your destination might be. Prices are good, service is fast, friendly, and efficient. The menu's pretty thorough, a lot of traditional americanized favorites and quite a few that seem more traditional to actual Mexico...for a change of pace (around here). There's a whole page of those dishes, and that's probably the page for the more adventurous eater. There's a whole fried fish there, which includes the immortal line on an otherwise very straight-laced and matter-of-fact menu: Whole fried fish. Yes, like at the beach." I think they must have had enough skeptical questions about that one that they finally just had to do something, because it's not a menu given over to merry quips. By and large, these larger mexican places can run together a little bit, and they really need to put in the hours and the sweat to stand out from the run of the mill. This place isn't quite unusual enough in its decor or other aspects of its presentation to seem like a complete gem, but the food is pretty exceptional. I'll definitely be back if I am in the area. read more

Not impressed. We usually go to a place down the street but wanted to try something new. I ordered street tacos WITHOUT onion but they had a ton of onions. They were also very bland and needed something to give them some more flavor. I ordered the kids quesadilla on a separate plate from the rice and beans cause you know... kids. Things just can't touch. Well... they were all on the same plate. The server should have noticed this before it came to our table. The tortilla person wasn't there so the sign saying they have fresh homemade tortillas wasn't correct. We won't be trying them again. read more

Good Authentic Mexican (if you order off of the right menu), great service and good prices in a convenient location in the middle of Monroe, right on State Route 2 for those passing through. Here's what you need to know about Mi Tierra: FOOD: Very large menu of Americanized Mexican, with one page of serious hardcore Mexican. Nothing noteworthy on the Americanized menu, just the standard fare you would find at any other Americanized Mexican restaurant (Fajitas, Enchiladas, Burritos, Tacos, various Carne, Pollo, Mariscos dishes). Mostly bleh, although the Dungeness Crab Enchilada was pretty decent. The serious hardcore Mexican page though contains such items as Nopales con Chorizo, Campechana, Pescado Frito, Cazuelada, Birria, Sopitos De Carne Asada, and more (any of these makes for serious drinking food, and the Nopales con Chorizo (Chorizo sausage, pork, eggs, cactus, rice and beans) and Birria (Beef Flap in a tomato based stew) makes for some of the best hangover food, if you're a lush and are hung over already by lunchtime. The Pescado Frito is a whole Tilapia, fried (just like they do at the beach), served with onions, tomato, avocado and rice - and is one of my favorite Mexican dishes. Mi Tierra also gives you a large bowl of Tortilla chips and salsa, like most Mexican restaurants. Their beer is cheap, I had a 24oz mug of Dos Equis XX for $4.95. They also have Horchata, which is awesome. PARKING: Can get tight, especially around mealtime. There are only a few spaces in front of the restaurant, shared with other businesses. You may have to walk for a bit. ORDERING/ SEATING: Host seats you, you order off of the menu, they serve you. There are three seating areas: The main room, the bar, and upstairs. All in total, the restaurant seats 250. Booths line the edge of the main room, with large windows. Tables of two and four in the center of the room. Lead time is relatively fast, about 15 minutes. SERVICE: Everyone speaks English perfectly well. Hosts and servers are all friendly, and will go and take care of things for you even if it's not their assigned service role. My server was almost too much, checking on me too often; which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I wanted to relax with my beer and take my time after a long day at work. Once I got my food, I didn't feel rushed though. The staff will answer questions at length for you, and if they don't know they will find out. ATMOSPHERE: Like a typical Americanized Mexican restaurant, portraying what Americans think Mexico is all about. Live entertainment at times. This place can get pretty loud, but dining early, it's a comfortable volume. Good mix of families and groups. COST/ VALUE: Cost is really what you make it here. You can eat very cheap here, about $7 or so; or you can go all out. It really depends on what you order. Most entrees are between $12 and $15. Decent value, you get what you pay for. VERDICT: 3.5/5 - I'm not quite sure why, because all the elements were right... but I can't find myself scoring Mi Tierra a 4. 3.5, sure. Mexican is difficult for me -- having exposure to really really really good Mexican has ruined my casual experience eating around. If you're from California, you will probably not like Mi Tierra. If you're from anywhere else, you'll probably like it just fine. Unfortunately, I am from the former. Well done though, especially for Monroe. read more

If you read my review of the Woodinville location, it's pretty much the same for the Monroe location. To summarize: this is the best Mexican food in all of WA. It's delicious and the only reason I'm not giving five stars is that the prices are a bit too high to justify even with the quality. the service is not always great either. I'd eat here weekly if the prices were more reasonable. read more

Mi Tierra - Delicious! - Mexican Near Me - Monroe, Washington

Hands down the best seafood enchiladas I've ever had. Their service is always great, food always delicious, and the drinks are some of the best in town. Try the mango margarita on the rocks! As well as the pork milanese. read more

How I would describe good Mexican food is rich and very flavorful. Unfortunately, at Mi Tierra I did not experience those particular taste sensations. Instead, they were flat and boring. I ordered the lunch menu Chili Verde with a glass of water and lime wedge. Tortilla chips and salsa came to the table. The chips were crunchy and fresh with a nice hint of salt, however... the salsa was watery and tasted strongly of chili powder. What? Chili powder? As a person who loves to cook Mexican food I can tell you with some certainty that chili powder is not a normal ingredient in salsa. I set it aside and left the chips as well. Seriously, chips without decent salsa are pretty pointless. On to the Chili Verde. It was okay, it wasn't terrible, I'd give it a C+, but there was nothing mouthwatering about it either. There was a little pile of wilted lettuce in the middle of the plate. Hmmm. It remained untouched. I ordered flour tortillas. I was served corn tortillas, however, they were homemade and delicious, so I didn't mind. The rice a beans were bland, uninspiring, and tasted like they were right out of the can and a grocery store rice box. My work takes me to different offices around the county and sometimes I find myself in Monroe. One place in Monroe that I won't find myself again, is at Mi Tierra. read more

So my son in law has been telling us about this place for awhile now, so we decided to pop in for dinner. The place is very clean inside and the upstairs setting is pretty cool. Let's start with the chips and salsa. Chips are light and not greasy like some places. The salsa is delicious with the perfect amount of spice. My wife gets the mild salsa and my older boys couldn't get enough of it. The complimentary pico was delicious. The beers on tap are very limited which was kinda disappointing. I was hoping for more than 3 beers. Tecati, Bud light, and don't remember the 3rd one. Like to see Negro Modelo on tap. For the food. As some of you know, I judge all Mexican places based off of how their Chile Verde is prepared. The flavor was amazing. The only down fall was the pork was a little tough and no flavor to the meat itself. I tried my wife's quesadilla and this was pretty darn good. My son had the monster burger. Wow! Great option for those that don't care for Mexican food. This burger had ham, bacon, cheese, avocado, lettuce and tomato. This was truly a monster burger. We will be back, but will more than likely try something other than the chili verde. read more

Ordered the huevos chorizo and taquitos to start. Got a full plate including rice and beans. They carry Mexican Coke, too, which I appreciated. Everything was very delicious and filling! Would come again. read more

Surprisingly good. And not pricey at all. I ordered off the special menu. We tried the Jack cheese with steak. It is definitely cheese with steak...Cheesy dish that is best scooped into a tortilla and rolled with the steak. The poblano peppers in it add a nice flavor boost. I ordered Sopitas. These are round disks that are thicker than a tostada but with toppings similiar. It has a layer of bean, meat, then veggies. It was tasty and filling. read more

Very clean restaurant. Attentive waitstaff and a wide variety of menu choices. My food was delicious and fresh. Filled with flavor and a huge portion. The drink was potent and delicious. Minus a star because it was a bit on the pricey side. But I am willing to pay for quality food. read more

We have been coming to Mi Tierra for almost 15 years and for good reason. The food is always great and the staff is always friendly. I've traveled to Mexico, Costa Rica, and Belize so II know good food, and they have it! They were also great at enforcing COVID rules, so you can feel safer eating. Family owned is the way to go. read more

Last Friday we order two carne asada and one order of rice. We've been to coming here for the 20 years off and on. For some reason, the rice was too greasy. What happen? Too much Manteca. read more

I love the appetizers, the service and most of all the Pico De Gallo Service has always been prompt and friendly, even when they are packed. Not sure why this place doesn't have more stars because on Saturday night it stuffed with people. read more

Being extremely picky trying to find our "go-to" Mexican food place, Mi Tierra hits the spot! With the beef fajitas having a TON of flavor, the cheese enchiladas tasting excellent and the chicken quesadillas which our youngest son gives both thumbs up, this is our place! You don't know excellent food until you come here! read more

A great spot to visit after a hike at Wallace Falls. Great food, nice staff, and a comfortable clean dining room.

Wow... Delicious food. The BEST margs! Amazing service! If you're wondering what your "go-to" Mexican restaurant should be, look no further. Try the Spicy Margaritas!! read more

Horrible food. The tripe soup was terrible, they knew to charge for a soup that was good for garbage. I won't go there ever again. It was the first time to go to this restaurant, I tried. read more

I can't say enough good things about this restaurant! The food is absolutely delicious and the service is top notch.

We had a great time here! The staff was nice and interacted wonderfully with our kids. The service was quick and our food was wonderful. There were many smiling faces around the restaurant. read more

I really like their food - I like the variety and haven't seen their offerings at other restaurants. The service is generally good overall.

I ordered Camarones A La Diabla Extra Spicy since I love spicy food and the spice was exactly how I like it, it was a nice sized portion for takeout and they even included some chips and salsa that by the way were good not a lot of places have good salsa for there chips but this one was good. This has actually been the first restaurant in Monroe that I've liked them done at. I will definitely be going back to try other dishes, they had friendly customer service and made my order quick. read more

We've been going here for the past 2 years and the food and service has always been great however we dinned here last week and the food was not even close to what it has been. The chips were stale, the chicken was overcooked. Not sure if it has changed management/chefs, but we will not be returning. read more

Started with delicious crispy chips and spicy salsa! Chicken fajitas were delicious, flavorful, but not spicy. Arroz con pollo was also amazing. This was a fun restaurant with a casual, family feel. The menu was large and varied. Something for everyone here. Can't wait to go back. read more

I had just flown in from San Diego, I was starving and still had to drive over the pass to go see the parents. The flight sucked, my sister forgot to pick me up, I had a headache, and there was snow on the pass. I just wanted a drink and a full belly. We decided to get out of Seattle and find something in Monroe before we hit Stevens. Hands down one of the most decent Mexican food joints I've had in California, Washington, Chicago or Oregon. Who'd thunk I'd find it out in the sticks, World Capital of 'Shrooms and cow pies, Monroe. I've tried the place across the street before and it was Americanized of course. Mi Tierra looks like a fancy Aspen lodge and the bar is small, but very colonial Mexican. They have some knock-out mexican waitresses. They're married... = ( It's a family business and the cooks are ladies. No wonder the food has such a homemade flavor. Great atmosphere. Stiff drinks. Beautiful bartender. Hot waitress. Oh, and the food is pretty good. read more

Went here on vacation and it was terrible. Maybe being from California, where good Mexican food is easy to find at a reasonable price has jaded my view on good Mexican food. Believe me, if your on vacation this place is not what your used to.....like no carnitas??? The main reason I'm reviewing this place is that I found a piece of stainless steel scrubbie in my mouth. Thank God I did not swallow it!!! When I told the waiter what had happened , he took it and walked a few tables away and threw it on the ground and then brought us our bill....didn't even apologize!!! There is a Thai place next door that is phenomenal...go there:) read more

Mi Tierra - This was in my food!! - Mexican Near Me - Monroe, Washington

My boyfriend and I had just hiked Lake Serene and we were STARVING! Mexican sounded yummy. The food at Mi Terra was just meh, The food is very Amercanized, catering to the people in the area of course. I would have given this place 2 stars, however the service was great and the staff members were supppperrrr friendly. BTW. They give you salsa with the chips, but ask for pico de gallo ---- its pretty tasty. read more

Food was bland. Not as good as other Mexican joints in the area. Walk across the street for a better meal. Simply not worth the cost. Slow staff. Waiter was picking his nose. Blah! Table location felt like being stuffed in a closet. Run away! Run away!!! read more

Gotta go with Sara on this one, Mi Tierra rocks. Their chicken mole plate is delicious. The chips and salsa are yummy. The service is good. It's a great way to unwind after a day of skiing, and let the traffic clear out. Update: There is a new Mi Tierra in Woodinville, which used to be an Azteca I think, and it's not nearly as good. read more

My family loves this place. Not sure what is better, the food or the friendly service! Whether we go for a date night, family dinner, or a group event the service and food quality is always awesome. read more

So we were driving aimlessly around Monroe a few weeks ago and were hungry. It was a little later than lunch but happy hour at many places. I pulled out my phone, asked where I could go for a good happy hour sorted by reviews. This place came up at the top of the list. Went in, sat in the bar. There was another table seated and they were watching the 5th Element on the TV... Ok. After 10-15 minutes one of the guys sitting at the other table went behind the bar and brought us menus and waters... A little annoying since he saw us sitting there and this dropped it from 5 star review. Food was excellent, drinks were good and prices were insanely reasonable. Most drinks on the menu were under $7. And this wasn't happy hour prices. We had $4 margaritas and they were delicious. I don't make it to Monroe often but I would definitely come here again just for this happy hour. read more

Absolutely terrible! Daughters juice was all ice gone in 3 drinks and no free refills. Took 15 mins to get drinks after we ordered them and they weren't even correct and no refills were ever even offered. My eggs in my huevos rancheros were way over cooked and hard, the sauce was all dry. My boyfriends tostada was half the size of a normal tortilla and his burrito was gone in 4 bites. The service was horrible and the food was horrible first and last time I will ever come here. read more

Sight seeing in this area so we stop here to get some food, our waiter gave a weird vibe and once we got our food we realized we should've saved our money, my Mexican stir fry was more chicken than anything else including commodity like veggies and half cup of rice, desert wasn't anything I'd go out of my way to get again. Overall I should've saved my 56 dollars for me and my sister and niece. Please. Go to a taco truck it would've been way better. read more

Pregnant woman here... was craving chicken tortilla soup at 830pm and sent my husband to pick it up. He came back with a huge container of the soup with a little baggie on the side. I asked what it was and he said he never checked... I opened it up and it was chips and dip!! What other place gives you the free appetizer that they generally only give sit down customers?! Awesome awesome awesome service! And soup was so good, so FRESH (veggies were still crunch-tender vs the "soggy-reheated-throughout-the-day), just what I wanted! (Sans sour cream, just as I asked too.) Thank you so much, Mi Tierra! Just made my night tonight :) read more

Save your money for the taco trucks in Monroe. The food here is quite over priced, and has definitely gone down hill in terms of quality over the years. On our last visit we got the steak fajitas and the camarones al mojo. Although the menu says large prawns, the shrimp were quite shrimpy in size....and the steak fajita was like chewing rubber. read more

Fan freaking tastic. Super Platter w carne and pollo asado. Pollo con crema camarones al mojo, pollo fried with garlic and breadcrumbs. Super nachos and quesadilla. Platter served all 5 of us w leftovers. Everything was well above average. Completely blew my expectations away. Didn't think a Mexican place in Monroe of all places to do that. read more

Always love Mi Tierra! They have the BEST pollo asado around and our favorite salsa. Always willing to accommodate a request or special order. read more
