Sierra Mexican Restaurant

When we arrived one of the staff met us at the curb and assisted me into the building. She seated us at the table and gave us the menu. We were given fresh tortilla chips and salsa while we waited for our food. It was exceptionally good and the portions were large. We had fried cheesecake burritos for the road. We would have ordered more if we had known just how delicious they were. We will definitely stop by the next time we are in the area.

First, let me preface this by saying that my husband and I hadn't been to Sierra Mexican Restaurant in Gates, Oregon since they reopened from the fires. We loved it when we visited before. We returned today and were so happy to see that they were busy! The redesign of the interior looks so nice and the bar area is spacious. Booths were filled and the restaurant was bustling. As always, we were incredibly impressed by the staff. They are friendly and attentive, and service is quick. They know how to make a fine margarita, too! Prices were quite reasonable, and I found that we definitely got our money's worth. I ordered their house special with 3 enchiladas with sour cream sauce. I made sure to get one of each type of meat (ground beef, carne asada, and chicken). The special comes with rice and refried beans, and the portion of food that you get is quite enough to make two or three meals out of it. Everything on my plate was flavorful and exactly what I wanted! The sour cream sauce is creamy, with a decent amount of spices added. They topped the enchiladas with the sauce, lettuce, and sour cream. Each enchilada was packed nicely with a good amount of meat. And *that cheese*! 😍 Perfectly melted and did the perfect stringy stretch with each bite. Definitely a plate I will revisit! If you're ever out this way, I highly recommend stopping in and visiting this little gem in the canyon!
