La Sierra Restaurant

What?! How did I not know about this place sooner? This isn’t your typical Mexican restaurant — their menu is very regional to the state of Durango 🦂. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile. I believe he was the owner because he took great pride in explaining the menu and how to order. You can choose from four options — a gordita, burrito, quesadilla, or platter — and everything listed above the drinks can be selected as your filling or entrée for the platter. When the food came out, the owner brought my husband a complimentary gordita to try (the ground beef and potato one), and he immediately wished he had ordered more. I ordered the machaca (beef and eggs) platter with corn tortillas for my 5-year-old, and he ate the whole thing! I also tried three different gorditas — my favorite was the machaca-filled. They brought out both their green and red salsas, and the flavors were excellent. The red was a bit spicier, which I loved. This is a great little hole-in-the-wall restaurant that I will definitely be coming back to so I can try the rest of their menu!

This place is an absolute gem. The food here is unquestionably delicious, savory, and great quality. The Mexican hot dog is a must try and one of the popular menu items. Everything we ordered was amazing. My wife said her margarita was great. The homemade tortillas and homemade salsas go perfectly with everything. This place would work well for any group, date, family, or larger party.

Delightful, delicious, and authentic Durango Mexican fare! Everything is made fresh in-house daily. The homemade salsas are masterful—combining flavor and the perfect level of heat! The welcoming owner took care to explain the plethora of menu options, educated us on the Durango-style of food, and offered helpful suggestions. We are vegetarian. The menu has multiple vegetarian items with options to customize: gordita, burrito, quesadillas, or platter. The options are very accommodating depending on how hungry you are. We loved *everything* and left craving more! Also—the homemade flour tortillas are the BEST TORTILLAS we’ve ever eaten. Eat here!

I was up in Omaha today and stopped here for lunch! It was my first time here, but definitely not my last. The people were just so friendly, and the food was beyond amazing. 😊 Also, if you like Micheladas, they made one of the best I have ever had 😃

My wife and I stopped here for some dinner one evening. The menu was a bit confusing but the lady working there made it super easy to order. We tried three different things and they were all great. The people were really nice and the place is absolutely perfectly clean. The food was hot and fresh and it only took a few minutes to get served. This place is worth a trip to 10th St. for a try.
