I have been to Tu Tierra several times. I have to admit the first time I visited was when FFWD had freshly reviewed this place and gave it positive reviews. I wasn't impressed mainly because the place was SWAMPED and this quaint little place could not handle the volume. They did their best with the service and the food looked rushed.
A year later I decided to try this place again for lunch and it was 10x better, so much that I can stamp this as a "Yay! I'm a fan" on yelp. The service was great and the food tasted significantly better. I have visited this place several times for dinner and lunch since. Their lunch combos are a great deal and since I only have a 40 minute lunch, Tu Tierra is a surprisingly quick visit for a restaurant. $20 is the usual amount I would spend for a lunch meal, while for dinner the prices are a little more higher.
Their enchiladas verdes and mole are my favourite dishes. In my humble opinion this place is one of the 2nd best in the city, the first going to a two way tie between the two Mexican households of my friends. Given the right amount of volume, quiet restaurants like Tu Tierra can really shine as they have the right opportunity to be more attentive and give more time to the preparation of their dishes.
I feel like I should depart with some sort of humorous anecdote...but the enchiladas de mole digesting in my stomach only results in me seeing visions. Visions of...LUCHADORES!!
