Mi Tierra Comida Tipica - Newark

I ordered dinner from this restaurant through DoorDash and I must say, it was delicious. The portions were generous and the prices were very reasonable. My order was perfect and the service was very fast. I had the Bistec encebollado with maduros. I am very particular about my food and I highly recommend Mi Tierra!

If you are searching for an authentic Costa Rican meal, this is the spot to go. It feels like being invited into a Costa Rican home and the prices are very fair.

We had such a great experience at this restaurant! It was our favorite traditional casado meal during our two-week trip in Costa Rica. The herbed lemonade was refreshing and tasty, and the vegetarian casado plates were creative and fresh. The homemade mango pepper sauce was delicious. The two women who owned the restaurant were very friendly and accommodating, even allowing us to take their picture. The atmosphere was clean and cute. We highly recommend this place!

Hola! If you enjoy good home cooked dishes that scream of flavor and deliciousness, this is the place for you. Nestled on an unassuming side street, this outdoor seated joint will open your eyes and stomach to a whole new world. Each dish was phenomenal- honestly, can’t go wrong with any dish. Across a span of two days (this was how impressionable the food was), these were the dishes that we tried and loved: Pollo with rice and beans (under the Carribean section): Holy guacamole, this dish was life changing. I would dub this the “do not judge a book by its cover dish”. Initially a demure looking piece of chicken, after one bite, WHOA. A party has officially started. The coconut flavors interlaced each fiber of the chicken. Spices and notes of thyme further enhanced this to another dimension. Coupled with the most flavorful rice and beans I’ve ever tasted and the freshest salad to date- I was in love. So much that I dreamt about this the same night-similar to what I would imagine when I’ve met an impressionable date who has yet to be met. Make sure to get the spicy sauce (which isn’t actually that spicy and adds an extra pow flavor to this already magical dish). I don’t want to lose your attention here so diving into the must orders, but make sure to also get the chifrijo (fried pork skin with rice/beans/pico de gallo), the horchata milk shake, the fresh passion fruit and mango juice, arroz con leche, churro and Costa Rican Classic squash with ginger and honey. Heck- just order everything. To make this place even more likable, the sisters/master chefs/owners were the sweetest most welcoming people ever. I entered as a stranger and left with a feeling of having a Costa Rican family. Thank you D’ mi Tierra for such a memorable dining experience that I will forever cherish. I will be back again!!! Muah muah

Absolutely LOVED this place. Every place we've eaten has been great but this place really topped the charts by a landslide. The food, the friendly owners, the vibe, the cute outdoor seating and everything in between...ahhh I will miss this place once I fly home. I visited two days in a row for the rice beans with chicken. I would've come back for a third day in a row but they are not open on Wednesdays. The rice beans with chicken may look unassuming but trust me, every part of that dish is PACKED with flavor. The chicken is so juicy and cooked to perfection with a slight crisp, blooming with spice and savory goodness. And my gosh the rice and beans??? I didn't know rice and beans could be so flavorful!! This plate of food was life changing. The fruit juices were also so refreshing on a hot day and not too sweet! I had both the mango and passion fruit ones. All the desserts were great as well, you really can't go wrong with any of them. Everything was an awesome portion for a hungry person with reasonable prices, but most of all unbeatable flavor. I wish I had a place like this at home, I would eat here all the time if I could!! Thank you for the wonderful food!!!
