Taste Of The Town

La Sierra Mexican Grill and Lounge has a rich history of connecting with the local community, as Victor Lopez expresses that this is a great neighborhood which truly makes a difference; we love our community, and I believe they love us too. Recently celebrating its 20th anniversary in Dundee, La Sierra welcomes guests with the inviting aromas of delicious food and the promise of fast, friendly service from our attentive staff, as Victor emphasizes our commitment to treating people well. Upon entering the expansive 8000 square foot space, visitors are greeted by a vibrant dining room and lounge featuring a full bar and video poker games, along with a newly enlarged outdoor patio that invites relaxation. At La Sierra, customers experience exceptional hospitality, paired with a remarkable variety of dishes that stand out, such as the La Sierra Burrito Carne Asada, our bestseller, loaded with fresh charbroiled beef, rice, beans, and pico de gallo all wrapped in a warm, house-made flour tortilla. To elevate this mouthwatering creation, we top it off with cheese, burrito sauce, lettuce, sour cream, and guacamole. Victor, who honed his culinary skills after immigrating to the United States in 1993, developed his passion for cooking while observing his brother in the kitchen during his shifts as a dishwasher, leading him to the dream of owning his restaurant and the determination to work for himself. After years of dedication, Victor’s culinary dreams are a reality, allowing customers to indulge in his exquisite creations. With an array of tantalizing menu options, including sizzling fajitas, savory carnitas, and Victor’s signature Carne Asada, which he describes as the flavor and tenderness that sets it apart, diners are left with a sense of excitement. Victor’s secret blend of spices enhances the flavors even more, and the seared top sirloin steak arrives at the table still sizzling, accompanied by aromatic fried onions and peppers, guacamole, pico de gallo, and warm flour tortillas, ensuring that one bite of Victor’s Carne Asada will reveal its unique appeal.

THE FRESHEST OF THE FRESH

Tender and flavorsome, the generous cut size allows you to enjoy until you’re well past full. “My customers deserve what they are paying for,” Victor said. Victor earns high praise for his food, and not only his food. His incredible staff is praiseworthy also. They’re a tight knit group who take pride in their work and the service they provide. Victor said “I listen to them, and they are so important to me. I treat them as my family.” What would a Mexican feast be without thirst-quenching drinks? They carry a myriad of options, including a fantastic selection of beer, wine, liquor and cocktails. The popular margarita is available in such flavors as classic lime, mango, peach, raspberry, blackberry, strawberry, banana, and kiwi. There are many non-alcoholic options, including mocktails, Jarritos, soda, lemonade, juice, hot chocolate, coffee, hot and iced tea. If you’re feeling festive you can always have a virgin margarita! The pandemic has been a hard time for local businesses, especially restaurants, but Victor said there has been a great show of community support during this time. The bond between La Sierra and the local community is definitely part and parcel of the restaurant’s survival, for which Victor is incredibly grateful and proud. He carries that altruism forward by hosting fundraisers for local schools and churches, depending on pandemic restrictions. Last time we chatted with Victor, he was planning to expand and open a new restaurant in McMinnville, Mi Lindo Nayarit. Having eaten there a few times already, it’s an incredible and welcome addition to the city’s food scene, featuring Mexican seafood specialities and other amazing dishes such as ceviche, fresh fish fillets and tacos, and shrimp platters, to name a few. Victor is so thankful for the Newberg and Dundee communities who have helped his dreams become a reality, and he can’t imagine his passion for food in any other place. “La Sierra will stay here forever,” he said. And we’re grateful for his food and love.
