Sierra Mexican Restaurant

Family owned, newly remodeled, clean, friendly environment for kids as well as adults. Gambling machine room plus a newly remodeled full bar for the adults friendly people great service for the kids. Above all, AMAZING FOOD! Not to mention a little convenience, store owned by the same owners attached to the restaurant.

It doesn't look like much on the outside but take the chance! It looks brand new inside and very clean, smells are amazing! Super friendly staff and great food. Will return!

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!

I took my family, we went there for dinner for the first time. And we all enjoy it. Food, our waitress was really friendly and made sure that we had everything we wanted. And I was very happy with service. Food, and the inside of the place looked very nice. I will definitely be going back.

This restaurant is absolutely the best. Service and food was A1.

Excellent food. Excellent service.
Family owned
Everyone happy and smiling and super friendly.
Will definitely be back.
I had the fajita burrito

The Sierra restaurant has made great changes. There food is great . Everyone is like family.The prices are within my budget. A great place to eat.

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.

Awesome place! Excellent food service was amazing. Would recommend

Ohmygosh...We met our new best friends there in kinda weird way..I'm talking about you..Cindy and Mike...And Marie and Udee and I can't remember the other son and the dads name..Some of the best Mexican food you have ever tasted..These folks are the real deal..You will love them and they're food..

Fantastic family restaurant experience. If heading out HWY 22 East, stop in Gates for lunch or dinner. Thursday through Monday from 11am to 8pm ❤

Always neat and clean with friendly staff and patrons. Fresh food, nicely spiced and lots of variety on menu.

Most excellent authentic Mexican cuisine with some mingling of cultures, and one of a kind recipes....friendly, super clean, bright, happy owners and familia
A excellent example of a well run family business
Great food great service and if that wasn't enough a full bar to boot. Lottery too. Highly recommended

This place knocked our socks off. Food was the bomb, and the establishment has plenty of space.. good atmosphere, family oriented. Enchilada was yummy

I got their rolled tacos all I can say is perfection.
Huge and stuffed with meat, a great serving of sour cream and guacamole.
Their margaritas are off the hook, didn't taste like alcohol.
The salsa is firey and just fantstice.
The service made me feel like I was at a friend's house for dinner, comfortable and relaxed.
This is one restaurant I will definitely be going back to many times to come.

Thank you all for making my first time in your restaurant a great experience. I hope to return soon and enjoy more of that family environment.

Went here for dinner, nice clean place service was great food was delicious 😋

We love this place! As a connoisseur of Mexican cuisine, it is well worth the 35 minute drive from Salem. Our family is all about the Cremadas. Yum yum.

We had a delicious lunch. Great food and service!
