“We love this place.”

We love this place! Always great service and the food is amazing. Our favorites are the Al pastor and steak. Gave the margarita flight a try this time and it did not disappoint! Extra bonus that the patio is dog friendly. Highly recommend!

Love love love this place. Great tacos. Best Chicken tinga I've had. Super juicy and packed with flavor. Al pastor and Baja shrimp were also really good. Solid margarita and happy hour until 7:00pm!

Support local. This is a perfect spot for great drinks and amazing food. I have been coming here for years. Today I sat at the bar with Nayeli who was so very attentive. The menu has enough options to keep you coming back regularly. Don’t miss the Queso Fundido. Definitely a neighborhood gem. The owners are amazing, kind people who just want you to have a good experience. New patio has just opened so looking forward to visiting this summer!

“Yo, if you’re lookin’ for legit Mexican eats in Lincoln Park, Mi Nueva Tierra Cantina/Cocina is the spot.”

Yo, if you’re lookin’ for legit Mexican eats in Lincoln Park, Mi Nueva Tierra Cantina/Cocina is the spot. I rolled up there last weekend and grabbed the carne asada tacos—three for $18.24 after tax—and they were straight fire. The steak was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. I also got the enchiladas de mole, and that rich, smoky sauce had me hooked from the first bite. The vibe is chill, with TVs for the game and a dog-friendly patio that’s perfect for day drinking. Margaritas? On point. I spent about $35, and it was worth every penny. Plus, the staff was mad friendly, making it a solid spot for a solo meal or a group hang. Highly recommend.

“The margaritas are out-of-this-world amazing.”

The margaritas are out-of-this-world amazing. My favorite is the tamarind. We also had the queso fundido, vegetarian tacos and a burrito. The service was excellent and the food was very good.
