There is something deeply respectable about a kitchen that doesn't play games with portions. Over a dozen visits to Mi Tierrita, and the baseline truth remains undefeated: the food is cooked exceptionally well, and the platters are monstrous designed to easily feed two. TIn regards to the decor, this isn't a place chasing modern trends, and it's all the better for it. The rotisserie chicken has that perfect, deeply seasoned skin that only comes from a kitchen that knows its craft, and the salmon is a exceptional. It's an authentic, unapologetic Colombian staple where you can just head to the bar, grab a cold beer, watch the game, and get exactly what you came for. Food (4/5): Fantastic. The rotisserie chicken is packed with flavor, and the salmon is consistently excellent. The sheer volume of food is staggering. Customer Service (3.75/5): Reliable and down-to-earth. The staff keeps things moving smoothly, whether you're at a table or sitting at the bar. Decor (3.5/5): It isn't modern, but it doesn't need to be. It feels accurate, warm, and entirely right for an authentic neighborhood Colombian spot. Price: Around $25 per person. In an era of shrinking plates and rising prices, the value you get for the sheer amount of quality food here is a total steal. read more

Went to the location in Brentwood, it was highly recommended when I went there. Service was poor food was very bland and I reported that I would like to remove roasted chicken from my meal after taking one bite I noticed the chicken had no flavor I asked my server if that was OK and she agreed and then when I asked for the check, I noticed that it was still on my bill and the server that was given to me was very rude about it still I paid the bill complete and will not be returning back. read more

Worst service ever. My food took forever bc they lost my receipt, my entire order was wrong, and they individually wrapped each container so I left with 4 small bags and they handed me my soda (mind you this was only for me). I've been coming there for years with my family before they expanded this location and it's gotten worse and the food quality isn't the same, not worth it will not be coming back. read more

The service and food was great. Prices are very reasonable and portions are for more than one service. Had the churrasco and chicken platter. Steak was perfectly seasoned and grilled. Pitcher of sangria is not for the faint at heart. read more

I love Spanish food, in particularly Dominican food but this place got all other Spanish restaurants in a chokehold! Their rotisserie chicken, grilled steak and them damn BEANS!!! Can't nobody mess with this restaurant. Customer service is so good read more

Best chicken soup ever!!! My favorite in the world. I dream about it. The green sauce. Thank you Mi Tierrita. I also love their roast chicken with rice and beans. And once had their pork dining in and it was unbelievable. read more

What a delicious find not to far from home. I was in the mood for Colombian food and Yelp led me here. There is a private parking lot behind the restaurant which is a plus. It's a large dining space with a full bar. There is music playing and lots of movement inside. I was seated promptly and my order was taken. It was a hit afternoon and I was in the mood for a drink but wanted something Colombian. I ordered Refajo which is Colombiana soda mixed with Cerveza Aguilar. It was a hit! Cooled me down and tasted so good. The empanadas came out piping hot and burnt my fingers to grab. It was just how I like my food and the flavor matched it's presentation. Full of meat and crispy shell. The Plato típico or the typical player was huge! Mountain of white rice, lake of beans, an entire maduro, huge chicharrón, good sized steak, fried egg and avocado. I saw this plate and my eyes lit up! I began eating and only remember coming up for air or a drink, beyond that I showed this dish no mercy. The flavors were on point steak was full of flavor, the rice and beans complimented each other, the fried egg and avocado alway pair well. The chicharrón was fried up crispy and gave me an audible crunch I enjoyed. The table service was friendly and the food was on point 5/5 stars! read more

Very tasty food, but unfortunately the staff is not very good today I went to eat and the waiters didn't even ask if we need anything at the table read more

They charged me something i did not want and for me to get my money back i needed to bring the food back. I gave them the food they took it behind the counter. so they could have served that to someone else. they could have throw it away but they didn't. read more

This is one of my favorite go to restaurants I had not been in a while . I was hoping the food was the same. I had questions before ordering on Door Dash I called the restaurant and spoke to Diego. He was so accommodating to all of the questions I had very patient never became annoyed. Just a pleasant person food came exactly as I requested it I had to call the restaurant back to give kudos to the chef food is just absolutely delicious. I had the grilled salmon which was 2 nice sized pieces of salmon along with some green beans baked potato, rice and beans and they accommodated me with a salad. The salmon is cooked perfectly. I did not need a salt or a pepper on any of this food The food is just seasoned very very well I did use the green sauce. It is delicious as well and I can tell it is homemade OMG! Amazing ! I have leftovers! Kudos to the Chef and all those in the kitchen Diego, you are more than accommodating and I greatly appreciate it .Keep up the good work and dedication to your craft of cooking and making people happy you made me happy this day. My Birthday! God bless you all. Wish I knew how to download my pictures just to show the amount you get for $25 and the skillfulness up it all read more

Brenda is so great...some of her coworkers are not as nice...maybe this is why they have 3.5 stars. Brenda was very attentive and with a very nice personality. The food is consistent, but it is the service people that makes it better. Brenda fron the beginning was nice and maintained her niceness throughout. Her coworkers are not as nice. I would only come back if Brenda is there again. Had the fried red snapper, with yuca fries and salad. It came with salad also which was fresh. Brenda stands out. One of the guys at the end, all I asked was for sone of their spicy sauce to go. He ignore me, and when I told Brenda what he did, he got mad. You are not supposed to get mad at paying customers. Maybe he should find another Job instead of serving customers. He had a goatee and like I said, he has no idea its the customers that pay the rent and his check. Only because of Brenda would I consider returning. read more

My second visit here, first time was the best. I know we came in 1 hour before closing but the service from the waitress still should've been better. Service determines tip....low service equals low tip. I ordered a pina piña colada with Hennessy. The piña colada was horrible. It was more like crushed ice with water on it. No pineapple, flavor no coconut flavor no milk flavor. It was horrible. After we received our entrées, the waitress never checked on us again. I really like the place. The food is good and they give you large portions, but the service needs to go up a couple of notches. read more

There's no better taste for authentic Colombian food than Mi Tierrita . Have been coming here for years and the food never disappoints though the service can lack the Colombian service but then again most servers there aren't . The ambiance speaks for the food itself since it's always packed and busy . Highly recommend. read more

I used to be a fan but after customer service issues and what seems to be a change in chicken suppliers or recipe, their roasted chicken no longer appeals to me. read more

The food was great but they need to improve on food timing waited almost 1 hour for it. I asked for how long and they said I should be out in 25 mins. Unbelievable but besides that it was great. read more

Definitely..My go -to spot ... generous potion of food ...for the money. And the service is breakneck .

Ive ordered a couple times from here and the food is good but the phone ordering is a mess, one day we can just call in and pay in store and then yesterday I called to put in my order and when i got to the place they never put in my order because I didn't pay over the phone (which they didn't tell me about either?) They still took my order when I got there but I had to wait extra which was unnecessary. I ordered the Sobrebarriga a la crilloa and it was good a little watery but I enjoyed it. My boyfriend got the empanadas which were not good, they were more oily than normal it was off putting (no pic cause we tossed them.) We also got maduros which were great. read more

Good food,but horrible service. When you look at your bill carefully they tend to overcharge you.

If you have a Chance to checkout Mi Tierrita you must. Everyone speaks English and the food is delicious with large servings. It's the same price for everyone unlike that Blue Dominican place on Front street that charges black people more especially if assume you don't speak Spanish. Lol Mi Tierrita, if legit and you are treated with respect. read more

This place is just absolutely disgusting, We arrived at 1:30pm and after waiting a full hour we finally got a seat and didnt really complain because we thought the food going to make up for it. Oh boy we were completely wrong, in all of our damn plates we found a hair that was so long it was disgusting and that wasnt even the worst part, we had to wait over another hour just for the food to arrive and the drinks, the meat was Raw and so red and so hard to chew, Only thing good was the beans and thats all, the rice was so hard and the fish my neice ordered was Still moving!!! Can you believe that! We left no tip and didnt even get a refund, Never come here! This place is an absolute waste of time and money!!! read more

There's ample parking in the back. Where one orders take out, you see the cooks making rotisserie chicken and grilling steaks, chickens and other cutlets. Seafood dish comes with s tasty creamy tomato based broth. Guess I should get the rotisserie chicken to see why this place is so highly rated. They bring dining customer's plates of food past patrons awaiting take out toward the register/rotisserie kitchen. Seems like they are trying to cook and organize with two separate kitchens. read more

Delicioso!! This restaurant served delicious Columbian food. We went on a Sunday and it did seem crowded but we were seated immediately. The restaurant had a very authentic feel and the waiters were very friendly. There is a parking lot in the back which is convenient. We had beef empanadas. They were pretty good, not anything crazy. Just standard all beef empanadas. I ordered "Mi Tierrita" Special Platter and my family got the Typical Platter. The meal was great. I loved the rice and beans and the steak and pork loin. You also get a lot of food in the portion which means you will most likely have leftovers for later. I would recommend coming her for great Columbian food. There are so many options and you get a lot of great food in your order. read more

Wow! I wish I'd known about this place sooner. I yelped Colombian restaurants because my boyfriend was craving it, and to my surprise, Mi Tierrita Restaurant came up just 10 minutes from my home! This is located right across V&T supermarket which i've been going to for years now. This place is so vibrant. The music, soccer on tv, a huge bar, the little roof tiles as decoration on the ceiling. The placemats had a flag quiz on it so that you can learn flags of the world while waiting for food. We ordered coffee, chicharron con arepa $6.75 (on top of a salad), and a typical platter for $16.45 (sweet plantain, half an avocado, egg, delicious marinated steak, chicharron, arepa, and rice and beans). Don't worry if you don't speak much Spanish, the menu is written in both Spanish and English. You can learn by looking at both sides without worrying you're ordering something you may not want to eat! I do wish that the waitress had looked at me when I was ordering though. I felt like she didn't want to talk to me maybe because of our language barrier or because my boyfriend spoke Spanish to her? I'm worried that my table would be ignored the next time I go if I don't go with my boyfriend. To be honest, I really wanted to love the coffee, but it wasn't good. The rest of the food was delicious and the portions were very generous. I'm already looking forward to my next visit. The steak was perfectly cooked. It was soft and very marinated but there were no grill lines on it giving it a charred flavor. The plantain, avocado and eggs were all perfect in complimenting the rice and bean combo. The rice and beans here are so good. I could eat this endlessly. I was so full by the end of this meal, but the rice and beans were so delicious, I just had to keep eating it. Their green sauce comes in a little container and it's packed with spice! Very delicious. Looking forward to enjoying many more meals here. read more

Ohhh holy sangria!! It was the best sangria I have had, seriously. The portions are phenomenal here and the churrascos was excellent even though they didn't cook it as I wanted. I asked for medium well and they definitely brought out that bad boy "well done" lol. I laughed it off because I know this is how Latin cuisine is usually cooked (if it's not well done its not done ha!).The service was excellent when we first got there but as the place got busier, our waiter, let alone anyone, were almost impossible to flag down. The parking lot needs way more lighting!! read more

The food is great and the inside dining is excellent, very family-oriented. Clean. Service is good, and reasonable prices for food.

The food is delicious and they give u a lot for your money.. I like to do take out on Holiday's ( Mothers Day and Fathers Day) usually pretty crowded but the food is great .. great Family atmosphere ... love the sangria read more

This is a topical Colombian restaurant . The ambiance is very nice they gave a full bar and is very spacious. I gave it 3 stars for my own personal experience and I like to give my feed back . The staff is very pleasant and friendly. It's my first time here and I came for breakfast . I order "mi Tierrita breakfast " the special of the house which come with "calentado " (mixed rice and beans) "carne asada" (steak) scramble eggs and "arepa" (grilled cake ) and Colombian cheese . It took took longer than I anticipated, The food arrive cold. The arepa was way to small, the calentado was very salty and the steak was small and very hard to chew . My hot chocolate was not hot and was almost the size of an expresso. The prize is fine at $11.50 if you are getting quality. There are too many Colombian restaurants in this city and this one is really nice But the good has to improve . read more

Wow, what a local gem! I'm from the West Hempstead area so when I found out how good this place was, I couldn't help but come back for more. I must confess, I've only had one specific thing and I have always taken it out. I've been to Mi Tierrita about 5 times and the grilled salmon dinner is my go to..every time! The flavor is amazing and the fish is grilled to perfection with all the right seasonings for that authentic Columbian taste. The service is friendly and prompt. They offer a relaxed and casual atmosphere where you can stop by alone after work or come with a group of friends. They have a large open bar in one of the dining areas. Try this spot. I'm sure you'll love it! read more

On a Friday night, I was in the mood for Filipino food. Unfortunately , I found out Manila Hut was permanently closed. Disheartened, I looked for the closest restaurant I can find in the area. So I came across Mi Tierrita. It had ample parking at the back. This is not a fancy place but looked like a go to Latin restaurant in the area . Busy inside but they managed and you can flag any servers to get the attention of your server. I only want sanconcho and they served it with rice and beans. What I loved with this place is you can switch the rice for salad and their beans with Maduros. Darwin, my server is excellent. Speaks English well and prompt to my request. The serving is gigantic and delicious. Price is incredibly affordable. I am giving 5 star in its class. read more

I was shopping in the area and this spot came up on yelp. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. Since it was just me I sat at the bar. I got a Margarita, chicken soup and Arroz con Pollo and plantains. The Margarita was right on point. I was very happy about that. It was just one of those days after running around and all you want is a perfect drink. That certainly hit the spot. The soup was good. It needed a little more seasoning. There were tiny bones but that didn't really bother me too much. Honestly, I didn't care too much for the Plantains. I enjoyed the Arroz con Pollo which came with chorizo. I wish it had more heat/spice to it though. The portion size was pretty big. I couldn't finish it all but at least I had lunch for the next day. Definitely coming back here with some friends to try out a few more things. read more

No distancing, just got out of there without finishing my meal. My son didn't get to barely touch his food. We had to get outta there asap! Everyone sits right next to eachother, the server said they distanced so we sat, they had us sit in a booth, mid-meal they sat a stranger back to back with us! Patrons walk around maskless. Packed up, paid and left. Food was ok, arroz con pollo is just old white rice BATHED in sazon packs...chicken platter was good. But finished it in the car. Take out and avoid dining in cus they have no idea what they're doing in respects to that. Edit to add from reply: The customers in booth behind us were seated by a staff member. Food was so heavily bathed in "sazon" packs it really did fall bad on our stomachs, and yes I am half Colombian and half Puertorican so we can take on spices and even more so can tell when something is poorly executed. read more

I've been coming to this restaurant for years! My father started bringing us when we were younger. Use to have to go into the city to find this kind of flavor. I'm so glad we have it closer to home now. I'm sorry it took so long to write a review. The food will warm your soul!! The rice, beans, meat, salad... all of it outstanding. Also, if you like onions... ask for extra. Delicious . The decor is so quaint and the staff is so friendly. Definitely a personal favorite. If I could eat here daily, I would. read more

This place is pretty good with their food. I always order the salmon because I don't eat meat and I'm never disappointed. They are a little pricey but other than that their food is always excellent.

I'm pretty sure my avocado they gave me was rotten, yet I read on yelp that Mi Tierrita is looking into this type of stuff. If they were so on top of things i'm sure as hell it wouldn't happen ever again. i've been going here since I was a kid and I can honestly say their service along with their workers are becoming so trash. The food is okay but I definitely wouldn't recommend buying take out from there cause i'm pretty sure if was to dine in, they wouldn't do this crap. Terrible!! I was so looking forward to my grilled salmon. Do better because i'm so ready to report this - $35 so wasn't worth it. read more
