We ate here twice on our trip to the area. I cannot recommend this place enough. The food was incredible, the service was fabulous. The first night there was a dj setting up for karaoke and if we hadn't been so tired we would have stayed. The next time I'm in the area, I will definitely eat here again.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

We ended up at Mar y Tierra after our original meetup spot closed due to flooding, and honestly, it turned out to be a great backup plan! Since we were craving Mexican cuisine, this was the closest available option and it didn’t disappoint. The restaurant is spacious with plenty of private parking, tucked right into the Sam’s Club shopping center. We were seated on the right side in the bar area. Service took a few minutes to get going, and there was a bit of a language barrier during ordering, but everything ultimately went smoothly. I ordered the Combination of carne, pollo y camarón (steak, chicken, shrimp). For $20, I expected a standard entrée but what arrived was a massive plate of food. Truly huge! I even snapped a photo because the serving size, and the plate itself, was so impressive. And the quality matched the quantity. The steak was tender, the chicken juicy, and the shrimp perfectly grilled. Every bite was excellent! We also enjoyed a couple of cocktails, which were both delicious and surprisingly strong. Not always a plus but it wasn’t entirely strong that we couldn’t drink them. Overall, Mar y Tierra was a pleasant surprise and delivered great food, drinks, and lots of value. I would definitely visit again!
