- SSaulDetroit / Eastern Michigan •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoI liked the intro at the beginning you come to the room with Cómales de Barro and introduced to different tortillas and Salsas. We got to a corner and I was not able to see much and salsas were far from where I was and they only brought me 2 of the 4 they offered at the beginning but not a big deal. We tried 3 appetizers and 4 different Moles and all were amazing and unique flavors. I would come back with a friend. Appetizer was delicious Cascara de Nuez.More infoTierra del solPrice: Expensive• Traditional Mexican• Oaxaca•4.5
