Tierra Santa Mexican Restaurant 5950 Santo Road, San Diego, CA 92124

"We moved to San Diego 2 years ago and were looking for a Tuesday Evening place to go. We found TSMR and loved it for the way our bar tender/waitress welcomed us and made us feel like family. We even had multiple family (30+) dinner events there. Recently the management fired our bar tender because she "was too friendly and talked to all the customer"! How can you be TOO FRIENDLY?? She was never inappropriate, just welcoming and happy. We will not be going back. If they management has taken a "we don't want the customers to feel at home, we just want their money," that's not the kind of place that I want to spend my time in. Veronica, beautiful, we miss you! Joyce & Steve"

"Truly a gem of a restaurant. Staff are incredibly kind, and the food is tasty as can be. The menu size and array of available dishes can be a tad intimidating if you aren't familiar with traditional dishes; that being said, there's just about something for everyone to enjoy. If you're in the area looking for a good meal, this is one restaurant I can highly recommend."

"Came to the restaurant today to use a coupon where you buy one entree (combination 1-16) and 2 drinks and get a second combination free. We both got the Chili Relleno and Taco combination. You can choose between a shredded beef or chicken taco, we both got shredded beef. The food was excellent. For our drinks we ordered small strawberry margaritas. They were plenty big and tasty. The service was great and the people were friendly and we will definitely be back"

"I just got back from the beach off a long run and decided to stop by this place for burrito. little did I know that it's an actual restaurant and not a fast food, you'll see from my pictures that I took at a local park soon thereafter, that this is no ordinary burrito. I would say it's below average size for a burrito from San Diego, but just a little bit below-average you do not need to eat more than that you naughty naughty boy. I took out my huge knife cut the burrito in half to show you that there's a certain kind of sweet bean inside....... beans with a sweet sauce, please do not think that I said that they put beans in the burrito, I do not like burritos from San Pedro and Long Beach because everywhere up there they put beans and rice in your burrito. this burrito is much different than that because there's only a few beans and you can taste each of their textures and there's a sweet sauce with them, it doesn't stop there the carne asada was marinated to perfection and did not taste like fast food, furthermore it had plenty of guacamole that was just perfect. if I bring a friend to San Diego I would not brag about this burrito I would eat this burrito in private with a grin on my face knowing that I'm getting a good deal, but if I wanted to really impress them I would bring them to one of the fast food places like Los panchos Alberto's and the like. unless I was going to sit down and eat and which case I would most likely come here cuz it seems like they really put it all on the plate. dear goodness I can't wait to find a lady with firm forearms and soft hands and brunette hair dripping down her back and bring her here sit her down and have a sweet little date."

"Got the Carne Con Camarones and the El Comal. Both entrees were very tasty. The Carne Con Camarones steak was smaller than expected, but tender. The bacon wrapped shrimp were very good. The El Comal shrimp, chicken, and steak were a little dry. So if we ordered it again, we would request an extra plate to remove everything from the sizzling plate so they don't overcook. The prices are a little high, but the quality is very good. Update: Got the El Comal and the Shrimp Burrito. Both were very tasty. From the El Comal we immediately removed the shrimp, chicken, and steak, which prevented them from overcooking and getting dry. The Shrimp Burrito contained 8 nickel sized shrimp, which was very disappointing for a full sized burrito. My wife even remarked that a fast food Sombrero burrito was better and always contained more meat. For the prices charged, the meal was not a good value."
