| - My family and I absolutely love Mi Tierra. Last night my son and I arrived early in the evening to a bustling restaurant and were quickly greeted after claiming a booth. Our first server saw that we did not speak Spanish, and sent over a terrific replacement who told us that she only spoke a little English. Even so, we were never misunderstood, and felt very welcomed.
We ordered first juices: my son the mango & water, and I the passion fruit & milk. These are frothy concoctions made with ice, and are so very delicious. After our meal, my son ordered a second one to go that was blackberry & milk.
My son had the Bandeja Paisana, which our server told us was "very Colombian". My son is not necessarily a picky eater, but is not always culinarily curious. He proceeded to inhale his plate of food because everything tasted so good. I thought that he might not like the pork skin, but ate most of everything on the plate. He especially love the smoked sausage.
I had the Bistec A Caballo, which, too, was absolutely delicious. The almost sweet tomato based sauce over the steak paired perfectly with the savory grilled skirt steak and fried eggs. The potato and yuca on the plate gave a nice starchy balance.
I only regret that we were so full from our dinner that we couldn't try anything from the bakery. We will absolutely have to try something on our next trip because we are definitely going back again soon.
