Garcia and Nanbu said the tlayuda made Tierra del Sol a "standout" over other food carts at Portland Mercado and wrote, "It might seem easy to skip the tetelas stuffed with creamy beans and rich Oaxacan moles, though it's not recommended". Additionally, she and Nick Woo also included Tierra del Sol in a "Guide to Portland's Most Outstanding Food Carts", and Krista Garcia and Seiji Nanbu included the business in a list of "Portland's 17 Standout Mexican Restaurants and Food Carts".
