Mi Tierra Pupusería & Bakery

I haven’t had Salvadorian in a minute and was craving a good pupusa so I pulled up to Mi Tierra Pupuseria & Bakery. As soon as you enter they have a good amount of seating. Plus you can see their selection baked goods. I looked at the menu prior and had a sense of what I wanted. I started with the Pastelito de Pina. First time ever hearing about this. It’s solid. The crust was sugar coated and unique. The pineapple filling was smooth with a sweet texture. I mainly came to get the pupusas and try Salvadorian tamales. I got a bean & cheese pupusa and chicken tamale. When I open up my pupusa, instant cheese pull. And it was pretty good. They provide some kind of slaw on the side. I put the slaw and some hot sauce on top…creating the PERFECT bite. I tried some of my sisters shrimp pupusa

I’ve come to this place about two times. The service was okay. The third time I came, the experience was horrendous. When I first sat down and got my drinks, the service wasn’t bad. I waited 10 minutes for my drinks and ordered my food. I waited almost an HOUR for just my soup, then got my baleada 10 minutes later. I finished it, and when my two pupusas came almost 15 minutes later, I told my waitress I didn’t want them anymore since I had been there for almost an hour and 30 minutes. She gave me a look and turned away, then came back with the bill and said she took off the pupusas, which was obvious since I was there for so long and didn’t even eat them. I did not tip and do feel bad about it, but she NEVER once apologized. And I get they were busy with a lot of takeout orders. I’m also a

Really good service very attentive. I had the pineapple juice for my drink 20oz. I got the pastelitos with 2 chicken and 1 with ground beef. I got the pupusa with chorizo and cheese (corn )and carne asada with cheese (rice). I also got the Salvadoran quesadilla which was really good and has sesame seeds on top. The only thing was the other person I was with said there was no chorizo in her pupusa so I would check it before eating and she ended up getting 2 pupusas of chicken and instead of one of chorizo and the other chicken.

We arrived at 11:30, and the lunch special runs from 11-2 pm. We sat down and ordered drinks. The drinks took over 30 minutes to come out, and when they did we were still missing a couple. The food took a while to come out as well, but it was pretty good. The service of this experience was one of the worst I have had. We were ready to leave by 1:55 waiting for our check. Rather than giving us the check after over 2 hours, our server waited 30 minutes and then rang in our food at 2:25. This way, the lunch special did not apply and our server would not change it. We told her we ordered by 11:45 and she did not fix it and then applied a tip of 18% for service that was worth no tip at all. As a server myself, I would expect to be stiffed if I had given that service. Food was great, but next ti

The pupusas here were delicious. Originally being from New York, and Salvadorian I would highly recommend.
