Real authentic Mexican food. The rice , salsa, beef and fajitas were all really good. We didn't have any service at our table. Not sure many of the staff spoke English. Not sure if that was a factor or not. Delicious tortillas! read more

Excellente!!! I ate too fast to show you! The pastor is bomb!!! Be ready to speak Spanish. I tried a corn taco and Gordita. So good and very filling. I also tried the steak. It's made well but really like the el pastor. I am definitely coming back. They have a buffet with tons of options of fresh made food. They keep bringing pipping hot food out while we were there around 7-9pm. The tortillas and Gordita were homemade and so good. Had the corn ones. The restaurant is older and tattered but the hospitality is supersedes what you see! read more

This is a locals hot spot for authentic Mexican mariscos and their buffet. We stopped in on a Saturday with a packed lunch crowd. Buffet looked yummy with four different fresh soups and lots of options, but we settled on regular menu items. Our server Leo was super friendly and helped with any questions we had. My carnitas torta was heavy with meat, very fresh and tasty. It came with a large pile of addictive crinkle cut fries -- crispy on the outside, soft inside. We also shared a large plate of street tacos. They were heaped with meats, very filling for only $1.59. Flavors here were very good, which surprised us because this place gets zero mentions online. But it makes sense I guess since customers were 100% locals. It's definitely worth a return visit. read more

this is the worst restaurant ive ever been too .i orderd a a fried mojarra and it tasted like old dirty oil . and we sat on a booth and i thought iwas going to sit on a nail it looks ragged and dirt in there . for the food they have is way overpriced read more

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food this is the place to go. The service is excellent, they start you out with chips salsa and also bean dip. The menu is extensive but they do offer to make you something as long as they have the ingredients. And the desserts they have are unbelievably good. The flan is simply outrageous. We drive from Collierville to go there, it's in Mississippi but the 10 minute drive is well worth it. Before arriving there if you're in a hurry or you want something to go they do have a food truck just before the restaurant. The owner and his wife are usually there and will greet you with open arms. I forgot to mention that they have a large vegetarian menu option also. read more

TRUE AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD!!! I've ordered off the menu and I've ate at the buffet they have and both are truly delicious!!! I am very picky with food especially buffets but this one is above the bar... I am visiting from California and I will definitely recommend this to EVERYONE!!! This restaurant is a must try. The customer service they have here is truly incredible, they are all friendly like a family member you haven't seen in a while. The ambiance gives me a great feel. I love me a family owned restaurant and this truly set the standard!!! read more

Nice dining experience last night at Tierra Caliente. The food was really pretty outstanding, the salsas were on point and the prices were good. Apparently they have a pretty good lunch buffet I'd love to come back and try some time. My lady friend had a carne asada burrito and I had an assortment of tacos, all of which were delicious. The adobada was really good, as was the carne asada. Their asada preparation tends to have more crisp, almost like a carnita rather than some places you eat at. It was an interesting variation and provided some really nice texture in your bite. I often judge a place by it's salsa and I was not disappointed here. I'm sure this won't be the last time we venture down to eat here. read more

Tierra Caliente - Tacos from Tierra Caliente were outstanding and only $1.30 each. - Mexican Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

This is my go to place for Mexican food. It's the authentic you can get in OKC. I love the aguas frescas, especially Horchata. The menudo is pretty decent but can sometimes be way too spicy, as well as the Caldo de 7 Mares. read more

Great restaurant in south Oklahoma City! I really love the campechana here, and the ceviche's out of this world. I found the botana de mariscos on the dry side, though, and likely won't order that again. The aguas frescas here are very good, and the lunch buffet's surprisingly fresh and tasty. If the weather's cold, try the Siete Mares (Seven Seas) soup, else the Vuelve a la Vida (Come Back to Life) soup. Oh, and the service couldn't be better than it is at Tierra Caliente. (SUCH friendly staff!) One young man in particular -- the son of the owner -- has really superb English. (Other staff members may have more halting English, but can get by well enough to answer your questions and give you advice.) It's nothing fancy; it's true. (The venue, I mean.) It's definitely in the heart of the barrio, so don't go if you think you're going to have a meal in a posh restaurant in Nichols Hills, people. This is really good, home-cooked food in a wonderful, family-owned restaurant in what may not be the best part of OKC. (But who the hell goes out just for ambience? I don't know about you, but I eat out for the GOOD FOOD part. I also love supporting locally owned businesses that offer high quality goods and top rate customer service.) read more

Authentic lunch buffet, excellent service. Everything I tried was excellent. I went during the lunch buffet. Everything tasted like a premium off the menu entree. Service was great. read more

The service and good are great here. Luis, the owner is a great guy. Even though seafood is the specialty, you can get great tacos here. The seafood is good too. The specialty of the restaurant is the weekend seafood lunch buffet which is delicious. Also, order the salsa de molcajete which is delicious. read more
