Mi Tierra Caliente Restaurante

We’ve officially found our go-to Mexican restaurant! 🌮 From the start, the warm tortillas and fresh salsa were the perfect appetizer—packed with chopped cilantro, onions, and a delicious tomato base. The Maria Skinny Margarita was hands down the best I’ve ever had, made with fresh mandarin juice. My chicken enchiladas were incredible—perfectly seasoned shredded chicken wrapped in fresh corn tortillas, topped with vegetables and a creamy sauce. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel so welcome. The décor was vibrant, colorful, and authentically Mexican, with everything sparkling clean. Conveniently located in the heart of downtown Summerville, parking was also a breeze. To top it all off, we were sent home with a complimentary flan dessert—such a thoughtful touch! What a true Summerville gem. We’ll absolutely be back again and again!

TC ribeye combo and the Texas Fajita. It was too much food for two people. Served hot and seasoned well.

I stopped in here for lunch on a weekday. 2 other tables were occupied, who's left the restaurant rather empty. One gentleman came in and sat at the bar and ordered his lunch. It took an extra minute for the waitress to come to the table with a manial, and then chips and sauce were delivered. Wasn't phone to the salsa; It was very ketchup-y tasting. I ordered the trio, so they also brought queso and guacamole. The case I was room temperature, but it was good and the guacamole was chilled and perfect! I loved the flavor the texture and the seasoning of the guacamole. I ordered a street taco in a flower shell and added fresh cut jalapenos. Delicious! Aside from this, also, the food was great and very authentic. The wait staff was attentive. They had a full service bar, and some outdoor tables. It was a bit small inside, but it didn't look like they hit capacity, so that wasn't a real issue.

Came on a Saturday for the first time. No problem getting a seat outside. The guac was incredibly fresh and the torta was huge! The tostadas were too much for just one person but flavorful. Came back the next day and the food wasn't as good. The burrito and tostadas were full of shredded lettuce and not a ton of meat. The guac was still great. The place definitely lacks veggie options. And they interestingly add carrots and broccoli in their veggie burrito. I liked that they avoid the cliche beans and orange rice with every dish like most Mexican places in Summerville. It's good enough to come back and try again and offers some unique flavors that other places don't have.

ordered food to go. carnitas tacos: requested no onions, see images below, huge chunks of onion and the tortillas were soaked in oil all i could taste was oil. elote/street corn: basically just looked like plain corn LATHERED with just mayo, see pics. chips and queso (cold and super thick) once reheated it was good. rice is good. overall disappointing…
