Took a walk down Moody Street the other day and realized I had never been to Mi Tierra. The man working the counter was very nice and greeted us with a huge smile. I ordered two chicken tacos. They were delicious. I told myself I needed to come back and try more. So the following week I went back. The same person greeted me with the same huge smile. I got the pastor torta with a side of rice and beans. The torta was delicious, great bread, fresh toppings and melty cheese. The beans were awful, don't waste your time. The rice was rice, it was fine. I can't wait to try something else in the menu.

Nice guy, doesn't speak a lot of English. Very fresh and delicious food, at least the burrito is. Excellent balance between the rice and the beans and the veggies. Can't wait to try other stuff. Right next-door to my favorite restaurant of all time, Masao's kitchen!

Friendly dude up front took my order. I ordered to go and it was prepared fresh and fast. Pastor tacos and carnitas burrito. All was delicious.

The crew and I had to try this place for dinner yesterday, they did NOT disappoint. They hooked us up with some delicious burritos and chips at an affordable price. I would eat here everyday for every meal if I could. The great debate of who has the best burrito in Waltham has finally been settled and it is here.

This place is delicious! Awesome Salvadoran food in Waltham. We came in for lunch on Saturday and the restaurant was pretty empty. We ordered, picked a table to sit down at, and within 5 minutes, the food arrived at our table. We got the barbacoa and the carnitas platas. The barbacoa was really flavorful and had a good chew to it. The carnitas were also super juicy. Both plates came with tomato rice, pico de gallo and black beans, and they even gave us free tortillas to eat with our platas. The staff here are so friendly and welcoming. The owner took the time to explain all the different types of things they offered on the menu, and then even gave us his favorite recommendations. Please come give this place a try if you haven't yet. The friendly staff, festive ambiance, and delicious, cheap food are totally worth it!!

First thing I have to say is the staff here are SO NICE! There was a nice kid (someone's daughter?) who welcomed us in. The manager explained each item on the menu to us and told us his favorites. I think they recently updated their menu, which is a little sad because I saw a ton of recommendations for the pupusas. I didn't see pupusas on the new menu. Still, they had a decent selection between tacos, burritos, tortas, and platos. We got the barbacoa and carnitas platos. The meat was really juicy and rich. The sides were pretty good. The chips and salsa were good as well. Super crunchy chips and fresh-tasting salsa all around. The manager also threw in some tortillas for us. They tasted really good - I think they were lightly fried. Surprisingly, the restaurant was totally empty on a Saturday at noon. Not sure why, but I hope they can see some more foot traffic! Prices are very reasonable. $9.50 for a plato and $3.85 for chips+salsa. To be totally honest, the central American food in Chicago beats Boston's on all levels, but for the Boston scene this restaurant is really good! I will definitely come back, especially for the good deals.

Nom nom ! Delicious authentic food with friendly service . This place ought to be packed! Helps a little if you speak basic Spanish , but not required .. you can scan the menu QR code and get a translated menu easily

I have a soft spot for Salvadoran food, but don't often get to eat it. BUT now that I've discovered the nearby Mi Tierra, I'll be back very soon! It was so nice to come across this unassuming restaurant in downtown Waltham. It has a decently sized dining area and bar with spaced out tables, and Youtube music videos that made it feel festive. I immediately jumped at the chance to get pupusas as part of the combo meal. They even have a cheese-free option with just pork. (There's also a just cheese option, and a combination of the two.) My dish was a smorgasbord of deliciousness, with some of the best refried black beans I've ever had, alongside rice (a bit too al dente ), a very lightly dressed slaw, caramelized plantains, and a freshly made guac that went perfectly with the thick homemade corn tortillas. It was so much food that I easily packed half of it to go. The Tall Man's dish (the No. 2, marinated pork and chile relleno) was also delectable. He got queso without chips on the side (actual slices of cheese, not the melted stuff) plus an order of guacamole, which he polished off pretty quickly. He said few words during the meal except for "These are the best beans!" So many gluten and dairy free options! So many more things to try. Yup, we'll be back.
