Mi Tierra Café y Panadería
Best Mexican Restaurant in San Antonio · TX
Open 24 hours under the tinsel since 1941.
Mi Tierra Café y Panadería has glittered in San Antonio's Market Square since 1941, when Pedro "Pete" and Cruz Cortez opened a three-table café for early-morning market workers. It never closes — 24 hours a day it serves enchiladas and pan dulce beneath thousands of lights and a mural of Mexican-American heroes, while mariachis stroll the aisles.
Run by the Cortez family for three generations, this dazzling landmark is the 2025 Centurion Award winner in San Antonio.
