Fodor's Review:

In the heart of Market Square lies one of San Antonio's most venerable culinary landmarks. Opened in 1941 as a place for early-rising farmers to get breakfast, Mi Tierra is now 24-hour traditional Mexican restaurant, bakery, and bar. Its hallmark breakfasts are served all day, and the chilaquiles famosas -- eggs scrambled with corn tortilla strips and topped with ranchero (mild tomato-based) sauce and cheese -- are alone worth coming back for again and again. Truly memorable tacos, enchiladas, chalupas, and house specialties, all made from fresh ingredients, are served at lunch and dinner. The giant, carved oak bar serves up aged tequilas, authentic margaritas, draught beer, and mixed drinks. The bakery has an enormous selection of pan dulces (Mexican pastries) and excellent coffee.

Good mariachis, anyway

Not a good place. My goat (a specialty) was almost solid fat. The rest of my group thought it was only OK.Surely a city with a heavy latino population can do better.
