Sadly, I can't tell you how the food is because after being seated, I was never received any service. I sat there for over 25 minutes as waiter continued to just walk past me. I wanted to see how long it would take...just for kicks! But I was actually hungry. So I went elsewhere. I wasn't going to write anything on Yelp, but after telling my story to someone at another restaurant, they told me they had the same thing happen to them at Hola. read more

Loved this food. I had the fish tacos which were grilled and flavorful. We had the guacamole prepared tableside which was the right amount of salty and spicy. The mojito was chock full of fresh mint. When my toddler got restless, the waiter taught her how to use the marionette he had at the bar and even let her play with it. Even though this is in a strip mall location, it is absolutely worth the visit. By far the best food I've had in Bend, including the cloth napkin, darkly lit restaurants downtown. read more

Went here last night with five other ladies. As I said in my previous review the Strawberry Lemon Mojito is fabulous, that hasn't changed. Last time I was there I didn't eat the food... I wish that I wouldn't have eaten this time because I would have had good things to say about Hola. They food is sick. The service was crappy. My two star rating is 1 star Strawberry Lemon Mojito and 1 star remembering my past experience. read more

We were really disappointed with our lunch dishes, quite small for the price. The side of rice and beans were cold and the chicken chimichanga was bland, just boiled dry shredded chicken, no flavor what so ever. Not the restaurant it was a couple years ago, we were the only ones there, it feels like they've skimped back to much to keep the doors open. read more

very nice people that work there and great drinks and chips and salsa. that green salsa is sooooo good. everything was fresh and tasted good. i cant wait to go back and try more things read more

One word sums up Hola, awesome!!!!!! The atmosphere is a casual, fun experience with great service to suit the needs of all customers. Our meal started out with a nice basket of chips and two excellent salsa choices. The first was a chunky tomato salsa with tasty chunks of onions, bell peppers and cilantro. Perfect for dipping and covering each warm chip. The other choice was a fantastic cilantro salsa, which soon became my one and all favorite. The dinners that we ordered were exquisitely presented and had a wonderful flavor in every bite. My companion had tamales in a red sauce with pork wrapped in a banana leaf and I tried the delicious prawns wrapped in apple wood bacon accompanied by cilantro quinoa. Every bite was delectable with a spiced flavor to warm my palate. The service was friendly, courteous and quick to make our time as special as possible. I would recommend this restaurant to anybody who wanted a nice casual Mexican dinner out before a nightly movie. read more

I haven't had everything on the menu, but I've been through maybe a third of their generous menu and I've loved every menu item. The chips and salsa are unparalleled. Ask for extra green salsa. It's fantastic. read more

Unique spin on the traditional Mexican by adding the Peruvian flavors. Personally love the Tamarind Margarita, as well as the verde sauce. Which you can buy to take home! My husband always gets the Lomo Saltado and it is enough to share if you are wanting a light but filling meal. read more

Roger and Mitch are amazing! Thank you guys for the wonderful service! Food, drinks and everything is great! Best place in town! read more

Hola! - Peruvian Near Me - Bend, Oregon

We've eaten here several times and have always had good experiences with their food and drink, but I recently got the Chile Relleno here and have to say it is the bomb! I love the cocktails here too even though I'm not normally a cocktail guy. It's a little spendier than most, but totally worth it in my book. read more

Food was good except for a hair in the beans, service was way too uninformed and casual for me. To start, a basket of tortilla chips mixed with home made potato chips was dropped off with two salsas, a red and a green. We asked the bus person about the sauces, she said something similar to "the red is a tomato and the green is something else, I think the red is hotter". The chips were great, especially the potato chips. Our hurried, informal, but pleasant server came by for drink orders, we asked about a featured tap beer, he replied "I don't know what it's like I don't drink beer" and stared. We asked for a sample which he brought. Our entrees, Tamales de Puerco, nice pork tamales with red sauce, Costillitas de Puerco con Ají Amarillo (ribs, somewhat tough but nicely presented and flavorful), and Shrimp al Tequila (Prawns with red onions, Portabello mushrooms and fresh bananas), were all quite good except for the hair in the rice. The bus person offered and brought us a second basket of chips. We sat a bit talking, the waiter flew by asking "how's it going" and after we paid "thanks guys" to our party of two women and a guy. At around $15 an entree you'd think Hola! could afford to give their staff a little training on serving customers and the kitchen a few hairnets. read more

The food is okay at best but the real reason for the low rating is the price! Way too high for what you get. Beers are okay at $5. The flavor and portion is lacking. read more

Really enjoyed this place. In Bend while on vacation and would recommend this place. The helpings are substantial and the food fresh and tastes good without being over "sauced". I don't like my food covered in sauces and prefer that the meal stands on its own which it does here. Loved the Flan and the Churro's deserts. read more

My wife and two-year-old child went in to order food for our family of six and the cashier was extremely disrespectful and aggressive to them. In the end the food was decent at best- my mother ordered spinach enchiladas and the enchilada filling was still frozen. read more

Went there for the first time tonight. Very clean! Our waiter was AMAZING. He was super funny and kept complimenting me and my friend telling us we're beautiful (even though we're more meh) and he earned his tip! The food was good. I don't really like Mexican food so I was surprised when I liked this. The Mojito was HUGE and made perfectly. Great place! Would like to see more vegetarian options though. read more

Drinks here are a must. The mojitos and margaritas are best on happy hour because otherwise they're a bit spendy. They usually give you that extra metal mixing cup, so you're definitely getting your money's worth. I'm a huge fan of their nachos. Plenty of cheese and the shredded pork is not dry. Love that we get the free red and green salsa with chips, even if you're only having drinks. The staff are friendly and helpful. Though, good luck getting their attention if they're slammed! read more

Good food and pricing; and really kind, quick service. My go-to spot for lunch when close to the old mill district.

Ok so the customer service isn't the best but the food is amazing. Best tamales I've eaten. Cilantro sauce is delicious.

The teens that serve you are inattentive, we were waving them down every time we needed something. We waited at least 30 min for our food Very tight and uncomfortable seating Food has no flavor, no kick The rice is white This is American-Mexican food Unauthentic and expensive read more

We go to Holà every time we come to central Oregon because every time we come it has been amazing food and consistent. I always get the Aji De Gallina which is a Peruvian chicken dish with a creamy delicious sauce and tortillas. We don't eat here one time when we go to central Oregon we go multiple times. We are so hooked on Holà we've been to all the locations, Sunriver, Old mill, Camp Sherman, Downtown Bend, Redmond, and a wedding that was catered by them. Go To Holà no Matter the location because it is amazing! read more

I wanted to leave as soon as I saw the menu. The best thing here was the chips, I got an overpriced salad that didn't taste great. Don't make the mistake of coming here you will regret it unless maybe you are having the drinks which is probably why this place only has any good reviews. read more

I ate here with a large group on the 4th of July because it was the only Mexican restaurant open and had a good meal. Back in Bend, I took my husband and was not disappointed. Super fast service even with a full room. We tried the Peruvian side of the menu and it was great. We are wimps with spicy food and the dish had a kick to it but no too hot. Wonderful new flavors for us, a real treat. I really wanted the guacamole but it would have been too much for only 2 of us. My only negative would be that the music was a bit loud which could be fixed if we sat outside. This is my new must visit restaurant when I'm in Bend. read more

Super yummy. Pitcher or margarita is so good and so fun to share with your friends. Atmosphere is a smaller restaurant with a fun vibe.

This has consistently been one of our favorite lunch and snack spots in Central Oregon for many years, across all of their locations. The table-side guava is utterly amazing. But the Peruvian influenced food is both unusual and wonderful. I cannot say enough great things about the folks that make this so delightful. read more

I had the halibut tacos and my husband had the Baja burrito. My condolences to the "chef".

The worst food I've had in bend. I don't understand how this place has 3.5 stars? Maybe everyone writing reviews were rating the margaritas. The first thing I look for in every Mexican restaurant is fresh chips and decent salsa. Hola offered chips that were at least 1 week old and the salsa was as bland as biting into a watery tomato. Next was my meal of chicken enchiladas where they took dried out chicken and stuffed it into a shell dumped a small amount of sauce on top and called it a day. I've had better flavor from McDonald's. Oh and to top it off the food is extremely overpriced. read more

Had the nachos with pork for an afternoon snack with a basic margarita. Nachos were tasty but I wish the toppings were distributed a little more evenly so you got a variety in each bite. The margarita was delicious and strong, I was a little put off by the price but you get the shaker so it is a good value. You could even share one if you were so inclined. The old mill location is a little small, but at least they do have a patio for the lovely bend summer weather. Service was ok, had to ask for the bill. read more

Hola! - Pork nachos and a margarita. Yum. - Peruvian Near Me - Bend, Oregon

I usually refrain from negative reviews, but was treated so rudely here today I felt I needed to. My family of 6 added our name to wait list, was told 30 min wait, heard the food was good , so decided to wait. All of us sat at a table within a few feet of the front door, waited 40 mins before checking back, was told they had called us & no one answered (not) others around us were called but not us. They in no way tried to get us a table even at that point, we continued to wait another 10 mins before going back to check again, and was told it would be a 30min wait. Would have left sooner, but our movie time was getting close. There are too many places to eat to be treated like this! I guess they don't need our business & won't get it! read more

Called at 5:30 pm and we're told they were serving unto 10:00 pm. Walked in at 6:00 pm and the couple before us and ourselves were summarily and rudely told to get out that they were doing no more seating. No explanation or even any cursory Customer service. I'm giving them one star just because we at least got out of the cold for the 60 seconds they dealt with us. Bye bye Hola! read more

Terrible food. My husband and I wanted to go to El Sancho for tacos but learned they were closed on Mondays. Having our hearts set on tacos we came here. They were completely flavorless. The chicken was not at all marinated and the cheese and lettuce were Sysco grade. We spent $14 for a margarita with upgraded tequila. This was the worst and most expensive meal we have had in Bend. read more

Friendly staff and interesting menu. The tacos were fine but the Peruvian food was better.

I have been to Hola many times, usually a great experience, but after tonight I won't be returning to the old mill location. Our server was extremely short with us and very rushed, the food and margaritas were smaller portions than they used to be accompanied with higher prices, and our server ended the night not by thanking us, or asking if we would like anything else, but by loudly informing us that he needed us to leave so he could seat a new table. I've hosted at restaurants, and currently waitress and bartend in a similar restaurant, I understand how things work and that people have bad nights, but it is never okay to rush your table out that has barely finished their meal... Nobody likes to pay $150 for decent food and a rude, pushy server. The other locations are so much more worth your money. read more

What a pleasant surprise! Not only is Bend home to some of the best Thai Food I've ever bad, but it's also home to a fabulous zesty place like Hola! I'm from southern Arizona, so we have more Mexican restaurants than we can count, so when when our family (who lives in Bend) picked this spot as our first meal in bend I was initially a little surprised and skeptical. The Peruvian Ceviche and the Tamarindo margarita are right on the money! Seriously. The ceviche was made just like it would be in Peru. And the Tamarind in my marg was tangy yet not overpowering. The Bottomless chips and salsa were hard to turn away! Our server was a delight and the owner made sure to stop by and say hello. Located next to a shopping center, it appears chainy and commercial, but the actual food is quite the opposite. The menu draws from Mexican and Peruvian cuisine, which makes for an interesting mix! I'd eat here again for sure. read more

My wife and I took a client out to his congratulatory dinner at the new Hola on the Westside. I am very pleased to say that it is at least every bit as good as the first location, and now a much closer drive! In fact, I had one of the absolute best pieces of Ahi steak I have had in my whole life, and I eat Ahi quite often. It was beautifully cooked, very rare inside, with a nice layer of fat outside, and a delicious rub outside that. Served artistically with a delicious Peruvian potato side dish that was purple and white, gorgeous and delicious. Very close to being my favorite restaurant in town. read more

I love Mexican food and they had some pretty good burritos and enchiladas. Nice big portions too. The only problem was they are over priced. Two plates and two margaritas for 50 bucks seems a bit much. But the food was good and staff was great. read more

This is one of our favorite restaurants in town. My husband, who is Peruvian, introduced me to the Pisco Sour years ago, and theirs are fabulous! My favorite dish is the seared tuna, and for dessert they'll even light bananas on fire for you! (hehe) such a treat for both children and adults alike... read more

They make guacamole at your table. It's awesome. I've never had Peruvian food before and while all the Mexican dishes sounded really good, I had to go with what I didn't know. I went with the Seco de Pollo and it was very tasty. I also had the hibiscus tea. Very tart. Service was good. read more

Incredibly overpriced food. One of the least authentic Mexican meals I have ever had. From the horrible chips and salsa to the 15 dollar plate of tacos; I will never eat here again and reccomend you don't either. The one good thing I will say about this place is that they do have good magaritas. read more

I've been here many times as I'm a local but tonight I came as a single and they totally sucked. It took them 45 min to sit me at the bar while allowing all the other two or more tops go ahead. Now I understand that larger groups need bigger tables but the multiple two tops was out of control. Also when I sat down at the bar they didn't bring me chips till I said something. They said sorry as they thought I was waiting for a date. This is again after the hostess sat me there. read more

Great place to have a drink before (and after ;^)) the movies - It's right next door!
