Horchata! I missed you! If you like iced chai lattés, Tu Tierra makes Horchata, a sweet drink made with homemade rice milk, cinnamon and sugar that our server promised would be refreshing. I got addicted to the stuff back in Cali and was sad when none of the Mexican restaurants here seemed to offer it.
After eating the complimentary chips and salsa, splitting an appetizer with my two ladies and making a sincere attempt at plowing through an enormous plate of Rajas Tacos, rice and beans, I was ready for my food coma. Which was witnessed later on at the movies, har!
My one beef with Tu Tierra is their rice. Or should I say, Uncle Ben's Bistro Express Vegetable Medley. I know you! I ate you for years at my retail job!
