This is the second time at La Sierra. It does not disappoint. We had a flight of margaritas and I was able to take several different flavors and all were delicious. Wound up with one and a half margaritas which is more than I typically would drink an entire year, but it was delicious and worth every sip. I went for the senior menu with a burrito and beans and rice with shredded beef and it was absolutely the bomb. Fresh made chips and salsa You could just sit there and eat that. Angelo head some type of a dish in a large what appeared to be a lava rock bowl and on the outside was chicken, beef, octopus and bacon wrapped shrimp, draped over the edge with a dipping sauce and rice and beans. He said it was absolutely delicious. Deb had one of their tacos, which was equally as filling. The service was fantastic and the staff persons were on point. The place is always busy and if you're ever in Payson, be sure and stop It is very well decorated in traditional Mexican flare.

Appears to be locally owned and I think the owner was there. Service is good. They were very busy, with food coming out of the kitchen in a good flow. We had chicken enchiladas combo (#23) and they were great. They will add an egg if you ask. Great local place, family owned.

Food was great! Service fantastic & beautiful Mexican decor. Loved it and would go again next in Payson or driving through the area

This a nice, cozy restaurant we like to visit in Payson. The dining room is colorful and comfortable and the food is good. The serving sizes are on the small side, but good enough. The service is on the relaxed side, but also good enough.

This was gooooood! Wine is delish. Salsa was really good. The chili Relleno was one of the best I've had. No complaints. The staff is really patient and friendly. Very happy with our meals. We will be back.

If you judge "favorite restaurant" as the restaurant to which you want to AND do go the most often, then La Sierra is far and away my favorite restaurant in Payson. The space is nice, if a bit kitchy and dated, and the service is usually good, although you sometimes have to stand up for yourself like you're at an authentic Chinese restaurant. All of the staff there are really nice and kind, though. The bottomless chips and salsa are good, although the salsa is a bit plain. Order it piquante (spicy) and I swear they just throw some hot sauce into it. One disappointment is the lack of agua frescas (Jamaica, horchata), but the selection of alcoholic beverages is sufficient. I'm a HUGE fan of green chili, and you can get it several different ways; Green Chili Bowl, Green Chili Plate, Chili Verde Chimichanga, Huevos Rancheros. I typically get the Huevos Rancheros with my huevos over easy. I'm also a big fan of the Campechana, which is a cold cocktail of shrimp and octopus with onions, tomatoes and cilantro. It's very refreshing on a hot day. If you enjoy picking crispy chunks off of a scored, deep fried fish, the Pescado La Sierra is fun and tasty. Finally, don't pass up the appetizer of Hongos Al Ajo (mushrooms with garlic) but you MUST Add Octopus. Trust me. Now that I've gotten myself all worked up, I guess I'll be heading over to La Sierra for dinner.
