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.

2. Amber G.

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.

Excellent enchilada dinner. I ordered the shredded beef with red sauce and two eggs and it was as great on a cool evening! Enjoyed the friendly staff and very prompt service!

+Excellent salsa. Strong for vegetarian options and my veggie chimichanga was delicious. Friendly and attentive wait staff. Fun, bright interior. Comfortable air conditioning, which is key here in AZ summers. Seems like a favorite of the locals. Clean bathroom. I'd stop here again! -Audio ambiance: the kitchen opens up to the front third of the restaurant, which makes it a little loud, and I'd like a little music. The former can be remedied by requesting a seat further back in the restaurant. I'd also like to see more south of the border nonalcoholic drink options like Jarritos and horchata, but maybe those aren't big with Payson locals.

Great service, great prices, and very tasty food! I also love the fact that they have quite a few gluten-free options.
