Best Mexican in Mt Pleasant - no contest! Eat here regularly and it’s consistently delicious. This is NOT one of the basic sloppy Mexican restaurants that are found all over - this is freshly prepared ingredients. I counted 15 ingredients in my chop salad & all were fresh.Even the salsa has a subtle smoky flavor and is super interesting home made delight. Wait staff is always nice & the vibe is high end but casual neighborhood hang out . It’s not cheap but I’ve paid more at others restaurants & been disappointed. I recommend Tierra al Mar to everyone

The star of Tierra Al Mar is the food, so we'll start there. Carne asada tacos were so delicious we wished we ordered 3 more. The fried shrimp tacos were tasty. The Romaine chopped salad was a symphony of flavors, and with grilled shrimp added, was really, really good. The corn bowl with cabbage and avocado was, well, we just kept eating and eating! And a MUST try is their homemade Red No.1 hot sauce - remarkably good. The only disappointment was the guacamole. Too much lime and salt totally overpowered the avocado.
However, the desserts, oh the desserts! Mayan chocolate pudding with mezcal whipped cream was rich, with perfectly balanced flavors, and the churros were some of the best we've ever had. They were served with a cream that we wished was in a bottomless glass. This chef really understands how to balance flavors.
Drinks were good- the mezcal old fashioned was smooth, and a nice twist on the classic. The pisco sour was OK, but not quite authentic. Ambiance is lacking because it's tiny and packed, and seats near the front door are very cold with the door constantly swinging open. Service is excellent. Parking is plentiful.
Update: Their margaritas are fantastic!

This place is amazing. Brian our bartender was so friendly and fun to talk to and made great drinks.
Came here for their happy hour while I was working remotely. The tacos were perfect! I also loved all their hot sauces. I had the battered fish taco, taco of the day, and pastor taco. I will definitely be back if I'm in the area!

Food was tasty, our server was attentative but not overbearing. Inside is small and cozy. The only thing is, the food is overpriced for what it is but besides that, it's nice.

Those who serve there are racist, and the food is expensive and not at all Mexican, I think they have to take a course in Mexican gastronomy.
