This casual Mexican-style restaurant in Pike Creek has closed after a 12-year run

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.
