Mi Tierra Mexican Restaurant

I had the carnitas torta, I highly recommend this. I didn't know it came with fries and I'm not a fry person so I didn't try them. My mom had the Iowa tacos, no jalapenos or sour cream. The beef was tough for her (has had throat cancer so may be fine for others) but she enjoyed the rice and beans. I tried her refried beans and they have a great flavor.

Eva's Mexican Restaurant 835 Seventh Ave Marion, IA 52302 United States •Restaurant Layout/Vibe Rating - 5 Stars• Many times people judge a book by its cover. Heck, I know I have many a time. Evas may not look the most pleasant on the outside, but most gems I find don't. Once you enter the location, you find it has ample seating with a lighter solid wood table to dine upon. It has a nice sized bar and the drink, well, ill talk about them below. •Customer Service Rating - 5 Stars• We have been to this location, I think 5 times now. I try to make it a point to visit most locations multiple times before reviewing for many reasons, but I think that's just fair. Evas has blown me away every time. Many years ago, I had the opportunity to live in Mexica for a while. About 2.5 days journey in from the Texas Border. I love Evas because it does offer little gems that are so close to the village life I experienced. It's always amazing. The owners are fantastic. Thanks to our SUPER AWESOME waiter this time, Maria. Always had a smile on her face; she was so patient with our children and just a joy. •Food Rating - 5 Stars• For me, it's always been fresh and exemplary. The kid's chicken meal (shown in pictures) is large enough for me to have at least 2 meals, maybe 3! During this last visit, I just had I decided to get the whole fried Tilapia. I was so excited to take my first bite and see it was lightly seasoned to perfection! (Those who know, know). I put some lemon, lime, and salsa on it and dug in. DELICIOUS! I'm pretty sure my own would never turn out this way. I also like to ask for the spicier, darker sauce they have in the back. For our children, we like to mix that with the regular salsa in with it, and man is it good! Drinks - 5 Stars If your gonna get a Marg on the rocks, hold onto your seat! (My wife is chilling in bed after slamming hers ;P). They are amazing and potent. •To sum this all up• I have eaten at most Mexican locations in CR and Marion. Evas has made me so very happy they opened and, as of now, is my go-to location for an experience that, may I say, at times, can bring a tear to my eye. Barria is so awesome, and they offer the stew-like version that I had grown so fond of. Grab that, sprinkle some Lemon and the other sides they give in, take that tortilla, and let the good times roll. Delivery - If you want your food delivered, they also offer door dash, but you have to forgo the Margarita in that case 🙂! Better to stop in! Thanks, Evas! #mexicanfood #birriatacos #birria #tilapia #supportlocal #restaurant

The food was fantastic. The employees were very kind and helpful. The owner is the one that does all of the cooking for the restaurant, I found out. The restaurant was named after her. I was fortunate enough to get to her, she is very nice, thank you for meeting me Eva. And thank you for the great food.
