Visitors can enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine at Mi Tierra Cafe Y Panaderia, a San Antonio institution. The Cortez family has owned the quaint little bakery since 1941. The food is authentic Mexican cuisine, served at a huge cafe that spans a city block. There's also a bakery counter and live entertainment, and a mural of famous people.
