Not every restaurant has a proven track record. With a successful Mi Tierra Mexican Restaurant in Hoisington, and sister store El Potrillo in Lyons, however, the newest restaurant in Larned already has a fan base. Wednesday morning, the Larned Area Chamber of Commerce was at the Larned store, located in the old Wendy's building, to cut ribbon on new Larned branch. Mi Tierra Manager Kim Upright said it has been a busy first week.
"We're quite popular in Hoisington, and there are a lot of people who come from Great Bend, Ellinwood, Russell, and all around to the Hoisington one," she said. "We're quite excited for this one to be open."
Mi Tierra in Larned will offer its many familiar Mexican and American dishes, but the Larned restaurant is breaking into new territory as well.
"We have American breakfasts, your regular pancakes, bacon and eggs, and omelets," Upright said. "Then we have some Mexican-style breakfasts like breakfast burritos, huevos rancheros, chilaquiles, stuff like that."
Mi Tierra in Larned will be open 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday and Monday, and open 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.
