This casual Mexican-style restaurant in Pike Creek has closed after a 12-year run
Where to find a Burger Night special in Delaware
Some restaurants in the state offer “Burger Night” specials.
Tierra Mexi-Cali Grill has closed in the Pike Creek Shopping Center.
The counter-service, casual Mexican restaurant at 4710 Limestone Road operated for 12 years.
Tierra took over a vacant shoe store in January 2012 and planned its menu around build-your-own, Mexican-California-style tacos, burritos, and salads.
Options include warm flour tortilla burritos, three tacos (you could get flour tortillas or light, crunchy corn taco shells), a bowl, or a salad. The price was based on your choice of protein.
It had no liquor license, but bottled and fountain drinks were available.
Tierra was part of a “diner’s row” in the Pike Creek Shopping Center. The remaining restaurants in the row include Kabab & Curry, Soybean Asian Grille, Barcelona Pizza, and Sushi Xtreme.
An “available” sign from the center’s owner Regency Center was in the window on Thursday afternoon and a handwritten sign on the door read “Sorry We Are Closed.”
The restaurant appears to have closed sometime in July. Its Facebook page is no longer operating. A phone call to the restaurant Thursday had a recording that said the call could not be completed. No other information was immediately available. The business no longer appears on the Regency Centers website.

Law enforcement increases security across Delaware Valley after U.S. strikes on Iran
PHILADELPHIA – Law enforcement agencies across the Delaware Valley are boosting security at religious and cultural sites following U.S.-Israeli strikes against Iran, even as officials say there is no credible threat to the area.
The Department of Homeland Security also issued an alert after Operation Epic Fury, warning agencies to remain vigilant for suspicious activity despite assessing that a large-scale attack on U.S. soil is unlikely.
Hours after the strikes, protesters gathered in cities nationwide. In Phoenixville, dozens rallied Saturday afternoon, calling the military action “senseless.”
“Stop the war. People are suffering in this country with food prices, rent, healthcare, money for the people’s needs here,” said Curry Malott, a West Chester University associate professor of educational foundations and policy studies.
President Donald Trump has said the joint operation would eliminate Iran’s nuclear and military programs and change the regime. Some demonstrators criticized the president’s decision.
“Trump has broken his campaign promises with no new wars, and here he is going into another,” said Kyle Horstmann of Phoenixville.
Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick said in a statement that Iran poses a grave threat, adding, “Iran and its proxies are responsible for countless deaths of Americans and our partners. That record is long, deliberate, and undeniable-and it cannot be ignored.” He adds sustained military engagement should be done with consent of Congress.
Democratic leaders, including Senator Andy Kim, argued the president failed to seek congressional approval for the strikes.
“I have zero confidence in this president who has so flagrantly violated our constitution,” Kim said. He called for Congress to immediately reconvene to vote on a war powers resolution.
“I hope there can be unanimity that when it comes to strikes of this magnitude, when American service members lives are at risk, what greater responsibility do we have in Congress than to look out for our service members and the national security of our country?” he said.
The Homeland Security alert also warned of potential low-level cyberattacks targeting U.S. networks, adding another layer of concern for authorities monitoring threats at home.
