When plans to visit another Mexican restaurant a few blocks away fell through due to the long wait…read moretimes to get a table, we had to find a new plan for dinner and stumbled across Mi Tierra...and I sure am glad we did. I'm a big fajitas fan and often order a variation of that at any Mexican restaurant we visit, and the Alambre fajitas might have just become my favorite I've EVER had. They were delicious! We also enjoyed the Pollo Hawaiano and a side of Elotes Street Corn. Mi Tierra had a hole-in-the-wall vibe that I loved with great service and even better food. If you're looking for your fix for some delicious Mexican food, look no further than Mi Tierra.

Visiting from Texas and more so, growing up in El Paso, I was not expecting much from any so-called Mexican food joint, especially one located in the north eastern part of Kansas, but I was pleasantly surprised and extremely impressed with the fare. We walked into a brightly lit restaurant with a few booths and tables and several vibrantly painted murals on the walls. Marta was our server and she was quick and efficient. If you look up hustling in the dictionary, I'm sure you'll find a picture of her. She was amazing, friendly and accommodating. I looked over the menu and was surprised to see such items as carne guisada and chile Colorado. I opted for the flautas which stated that they were made with flour tortillas (a Tex-Mex indicator). In my neck of the woods, flautas are made with corn tortillas so I was preparing myself for a little disappointment, but when my meal came out I was happily surprised to find that they were actually made with corn tortillas. They were delicious, perfectly crispy and the shredded chicken was flavorful. We did have to order a side of rice and beans, which seemed odd, typically flautas come on a plate WITH rice and beans in my experience so that did add to our bill. I suggest you make sure you read what is actually included and don't just assume. The rice and beans however, were extremely flavorful and authentic. My son usually eats about 1/2 the rice & bean sides, but he plowed through both leaving me with sadly, but a few bites. My husband ordered some green chile chicken enchiladas and said they spectacular. I hope we see Marta next time we're in town, because she made the entire experience memorable. I'm excited, we found an authentic Mexican restaurant that truly holds up to its name.

They taste very 'casero' or homelike. It's as if your 87 year old grandmother has been slaving in the hot kitchen all day, picking the right beans and stirring those pots. I haven't had tacos these good in a long, long time. Prices are great and they pack everything up with a lot of meat. They prefer cash but now they have a set up where you can pay them using Venmo. They closed Sundays but are opened year round. Meaning, no snow storm or tornado is stopping them. Check them out, you will not be disappointed.

Each meal had four full tacos, consume, two spicy sauces, and a lime. It was definitely worth the cost and very tasty. It was full of flavor and was soft while not being soggy. Outside the food truck they even had a metal overhang you could sit under if it was raining or needed some shade.

In hindsight, we should have suspected the website was outdated, but we know now. The inside of the restaurant left much to be expected, and the bathroom was gross and smelled bad.
