Mi Tierra Cafe & Bakery

San Antonio


Part restaurant, part bakery, and total explosion of light and colour, decorated for Christmas year-round, this Market Sq behemoth has been dishing out Mexican staples since 1941. Its interlinked dining rooms are busy with scuttling waitstaff and strolling mariachis, and there’s always a long line for take-out pastries and pies. Open 24 hours, it’s ideal for 3am enchilada cravings.
