    Tamales - green netting means spicy pork
    Vedette V.

    My man crush and I were looking for a place to have breakfast after a weekend in San Antonio. We happened to stop here and my man crush ordered some breakfast tacos and I ordered the Migas plate. While we were waiting in line, another customer came and ordered some tamales. They looked legit...wrapped in foil and stored in a big cooler. I asked her how they were and she raved about them. We ordered some to go. (Back to those in a few). The migas I ordered were very flavorful and yummy. The breakfast tacos my man crush ordered were good but he said they needed more flavor...he spooned some of my migas into his taco and said they were perfect. After we ate, we got our tamales. There were different kinds and we decided on a dozen pork and a dozen spicy pork. I also bought 2 dozen pork for my sister and brother. The tamales were amazing! So flavorful and delicious. My sister and brother also reported that they loved them. We should have bought more! I foresee another visit to Olgitas Molino just to get more yummy tamales!

    Another local gem! Just moving here and I love the vibe of some of the places. This place reminds me of a place I would go to with my dad when I was a kid. We ordered tamales and menudo to eat later today. We ate tacos there. We went quite early and a line started to form shortly after we arrived. Love it. This is a must go to for authentic tacos. Tortillas made daily. The service is 5 star. Homemade salsa red one kinda vinegar salsa, the green was the best, and the other we didn't try. Limited parking. They have lots of specials.

    This is my favorite taco spot ever! If you are local to San Antonio go drive there NOW! All jokes aside I have been coming here since I met my husband 8 years ago! He introduced me to this place that has theeeee most amazing tacos. Our favorite is carne con Chile. The tacos are so authentic. They sell amazing tamales. Everything is good! The ladies who work here are the sweetest and overall the vibe is so cute and small. There isn't lots of places to sit but other than that thank me Later

    Amazing food, service and staff is very welcoming! The eating area is so clean! The owners are amazing and thankful for the business'

    Recently moved to SA downtown area and I've been looking for a great barbacoa place near my apartment. Notice I said great.. not good, great. A friend recommended me this place and I decided to give it a shot. First off, I think it's really cool that they follow the social distancing rules and only allow a certain amount of members inside the restaurant while you wait for pick up. This shows their commitment to helping and taking care of our community. I ordered the special with two pounds of barbacoa and then an extra pound on the side, a drink, and a potato and chorizo taco. Total came out to about $51, thought this was a little steep, to be honest. Then again.. I know meat has been going up so won't be too critical of that. The barbacoa had great texture, good meat quality, but not enough flavor for my taste. It just needed more seasoning. Now I understand a lot of places don't season it so that you can add salt to preference.. but some other traditional barbacoa spices would have been nice. Tortillas were alright, flour are traditional SA thick tortillas and the corn were white corn. The salsa was pretty good actually and the packaging was as expected. The taco was a lot better than the barbacoa! I'd definitely come back and try some more of those!

    Dios mio. This is the epitome of what I dream of when I want a breakfast taco. A really old building painted many times over, you walk inside and immediately step into a 1990s shop that may have been converted to a restaurant at some point. There are plenty of windows letting the fresh breeze right in, adding to the ambiance on a cloudy Friday morning. The service was so good. Ana, the front area lady was so accommodating and sweet. We ordered 6 breakfast tacos, some chorizo, bacon, and a potato. THEY WERE UNREAL. And their torillas were so doughy and freshly made. Gosh, Shall I continue? Okay, will do. My beau order the 6.99 Lunch special of the day which contained two homemade enchiladas, refried beans and a HUGE tea. Oh and an additional crunchy taco. Of course I stole a couple bites of what I could before he inhaled the rest. This place is the best authentic Mexican food I think I have had. YOU HAVE TO GO!

    Asada tacos (6.99) and the daily taco special (2.10).

    Yet another wonderful meal from this Texas treasure in the heart of San Antonio. Fairly priced, great portion and a variety of homemade meals. This time I ordered the asada tacos, the daily breakfast special (2 bean tacos) and a dozen of pork with jalapeño tamales. This time, I was wise enough to take pictures before devouring my food. I absolutely love this place and will be back quite often.

Having grown up in San Antonio, I have literally been to Mi Tierra's 100s of times. When you walk into the restaurant you experience immediate sensory overload (so much to see where it is hard to focus)...papel picado strung everywhere...in different colors...in different textures...metallic and paper...wow wow wow!!! In addition, there are artful configurations clustered with lots of color and spiritual references highlighting the Mexican American culture. Also, there are pinatas strung from the ceiling in metallic colors, which is a bit unusual for pinatas (usually made from paper). The restaurant also has stained glass windows and a mural. On this particular occasion, I was in the restaurant for bakery goods. Mi Tierra specializes in Mexican pastries. It looked like it would be a quick in and out, however, with so many sweets, every customer asked questions and deftly decided on their sweets de jour. Since I waited for a bit, I decided on three...peanut brittle (the hubs said he had not had any since childhood), pecan praline (for me) and a pecan pound cake (split between the hubs and myself). All were incredible delicious. Yep, we ate them all in one day. It is important to note that the prices in the bakery are extremely reasonable. Excellent sweets experience...

We ordered the half chicken ($11), and I was honestly surprised by how juicy and moist it still was inside. The outside had a wonderful smoky charcoal flavor, and the marinade was flavorful all the way through. It also came with rice, corn tortillas, red and green salsa, grilled jalapeño, lime, and grilled onion, so it was a really filling meal for the price. We also tried the Bean Burger ($9.79), which was a fun combination of a beef patty, refried beans, cheese, chipotle sauce, and pico de gallo. I enjoyed it, although I personally would have loved a thicker layer of beans. The green salsa was SO good that I ended up buying an extra container for about $5 to take home. The restaurant itself is very casual and no-frills, with a big charcoal grill that really adds to the atmosphere--you can see and smell the chicken cooking. It feels much more like a local neighborhood spot than a polished tourist restaurant. Service was also very friendly and attentive. Even though we arrived late, we never felt rushed, and our server checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. I would absolutely come back for the chicken and green salsa.

The grilled fajitas were exceptional - meat perfectly seasoned and peppers and onions perfectly seasoned and cooked. The beans have a great flavor and even the rice (I'm just not a fan of most Mexican rice because it's bland) had a great flavor. The tortillas are the perfect thickness and are soft and warm. And of course - the green sauce - it's amazing! Our server was very friendly and prompt and the food came out quickly on a Saturday evening during prime dinner time. The true indicator of how good this place is - we were the only gringos in the entire restaurant! We will most definitely be back before long!! Well done!!
