    The most incredible margarita!
    Sunday B.

    Wow!!! What a gem!! We dined on the patio for lunch on the 4th of July . We got seated right away. Service was prompt. Our server was so patient and answered all of our questions and made some great recommendations. The food was amazing. A delish mix of Peruvian and Mexican options. Everyone in our party was thrilled with the entire experience. I couldn't stop eating! I'm ready to go back.

    Chips and salsa
    Emily B.

    Excellent service! The chips and salsa are so good and so fresh. Perfectly spicy salsa served with crunchy, fresh, chips. My daughter and I shared the Marcos polos and the sauce is amazing. Highly recommend!!

    Empanadas
    Kristina R.

    Stopped in for an appetizer and drink, both of which were delicious. We shared a trio of empanadas and the vanilla mango mojito. The empanadas were light and perfectly fried, served with a large dollop of guacamole. The cocktail was super fresh, not overly sweet, and they gave us the shaker with the extra drink that didn't fit in the glass, essentially creating a second cocktail. Super happy about that! Great service, friendly staff. A little more of a bar vibe with a handful of tables. There was a loud group of young women there at the same time as us and it kinda made the noise-level obnoxious, but that's not the establishment's fault. Happy with our choice to stop in.

    Seafood burrito, very good
    Rolando B.

    Went with 6 others last Monday night and found the outside patio are very busy, so we went inside to dine. Orders were taken quickly and we were give very tasty chips and salsa while we waited for our food, drinks came pretty fast. My very large margarita was really good. I ordered seafood burrito, portions were HUGE and very good. I tried my friends pork stew dish and thought it was also very tasty. Prices were a bit high, but I feel my seafood burrito was worth the experience. Refried beans were REALLY god too.

    Aji de Gallina Plate

    Was in town for some great skiing and wanted to follow up with some good Mexican food. This place did not disappoint and had great Peruvian options. There's actually three locations in town. I went with the Aji de Gallina Plate. Shredded chicken breast and peas in a creamy Peruvian sauce and boiled egg. Served with white rice and bolitas de causa (cold chile lime infused mashed potatoes).

    Red cactus

    Hola has the best margaritas in town hands down. For 1 margarita you really get 2 1/2 because it comes with a shaker full of the extra. You can also get a pitcher too if you have a group. Of all the flavors they offer, red cactus is the best. I'm not sure what exactly it is, but it's perfectly sweet and so easy to drink! There's also free chips and salsa (green is the best) so even if you're just there for the margaritas you get a little snack!

    Salad with fish

    So we came here twice in our trip as my boss is from Peru and they have the dishes he likes. The first time I order a chicken soup and a Peruvian style ceviche and they order the typical Peruvian dishes plus a taco . The soups was really good but nothing special and the Peruvian ceviche was meh... the food overall in my opinion was meh to be honest. I have been in this hunger strike for some time now so I ate everything I ordered but it doesn't mean I was passionate about it. Second time I ordered the Carne Asada, meat was a bit hard but did not expect it to be the softest so l wasn't disappointed. Service both times was good so I do give them a 4 start for effort on that area but overall is a 3. Their bathroom/restrooms are in the building but not in the restaurant and you need a key to open the door so don't forget to ask your waiter for it. I didn't try any of their drinks so I can't tell you about them but on our second time one person on our party had a margarita and they seem to enjoy it. We had the fresh guacamole (not $15 worn it maybe west prices on?) and it was ok. Nothing special or huge (my party got to it before I could take a picture) basic really. My party seemed to enjoy their choices so I'll assume it was at least a 4 for them but they aren't writing the review, so. Ok, come and try. The end.

    I had the chicken chimichanga and chicken enchilada.

    We've eaten at the Hola! in Sunriver multiple times but we've yet to try the one in Bend. We ended up here tonight. Menu was slightly different but we found things we like easy enough. The weather was mild and it was noisy inside so we opted to sit outside. The drinks were great (husband got the Bend Old Fashioned and I got the Vanilla Margarita) and the food was good (husband got three carne asada tacos and I had the chicken chimichanga and chicken enchilada). The waitstaff were very friendly and attentive.

    Fresca margarita (left, strong); Marcos paloma (right, not so strong)

    Hola! - there are three in Bend, one in Redmond, one in Sunriver and one in the western forest in Camp Sherman. The downtown Bend franchise is a relatively small space with five or six inside tables, a ten-seat bar and a few sidewalk tables. We sat at the elevated banquet seating at the west end of the restaurant which affords a good view of the space but is not not recommended for those with lower back problems (required my rolled up jacket as additional lumbar support.) The bar is quite intimate. I noticed quite a few folks coming in for take-out orders. Music set at a moderate, conversation-friendly volume, something I appreciate. The menu is quite a bit shorter than what you find at your average Mexican restaurant - there's no eight page laminated monstrosity to pore over here. That tells me that Hola! concentrates on what they do best. Billed as Nouveau Mexican-Peruvian Cuisine,' Hola! promises something different and to certain extent delivers. - Eclectic list of margaritas. Hola! has won 'Best Margaritas in Town' awards for a number of years. Marcos Paloma: interesting, especially with the Tajin salt rim, but not one I'd order again. Somewhat weak pour. Fresca Margarita: more like the standard version. Also came with a Tajin rim not noted on menu. Strong pour. In fact, I think the two Frescas we ordered were too strong and probably should have come with a warning. Caipirinhas: a Brazilian margarita. A bit like the Marcos but without the Tajin. Good but I'd not order this again either. I think I'm more a tequila-Triple Sec- lime juice kind of margarita drinker, which they do have on the menu here. I just wanted to try something different. As mentioned, I think the alcohol content of the three margarita varieties we tried was wildly inconsistent. - Chips & salsa: Two tasty salsas provided with fresh tortilla chips. The red salsa is picante; the green not so much. - Enchiladas Rancheras: Very good, much like what you'd get at any Mexican/Tex-Mex restaurant. If there was a Peruvian slant to this dish, I missed it, so probably this one is part of the Mexican side of 'Mexican-Peruvian Cuisine.' Very well prepared shredded beef, rice and beans. - Ceviche Traditional: Here we have something that diverges from what Americans would consider the norm, a Peruvian take on the classic dish (although my Googling tells me ceviche originated in South America and maybe even Peru). Quite good - a bit spicy with the amarillo chiles so the heat intolerant should use caution. Very well prepared dish. Our service was exceptional. Prices are maybe a little high but not outrageously so. Food costs are up everywhere these days. Recommended.

After all that hard work, our family always ends up back at El Rodeo. It's our go-to spot and has been for years. The service is always great and the people working there are genuinely friendly and kind. It feels like a real family restaurant where they're happy you showed up. The bar is also a fantastic place to grab a drink or margarita, play a little video poker, and end up talking to half the locals in Bend. Somehow you go in for dinner and leave feeling like you attended a neighborhood reunion. The food is exactly what you want when you're craving Mexican: hot, good, and a lot of it. I have never once left there hungry or disappointed. Plates show up looking like they were designed for a lumberjack who skipped lunch. They recently remodeled the bar, which looks nice... but personally I believe Mexican restaurants should be built once in about 1987 and then left exactly the same forever. It's part of the charm. That said, the remodel won't stop me from going back regularly. Great people, great food, strong margaritas, and the kind of place that makes Bend feel like home. Five stars all day.

We arrived around 230 on a Wednesday and were surprised how many people were coming and going. After our experience, we understand why. We got in the short, quick line and looked over the specials and menu while waiting. I ordered the heirloom salad (but got the macha salsa on the side because I'm wimpy) and the elote corn, both on the " very, very specials" board. Randy ordered the chicken tinga taco and the carnitas taco and an order of chips and salsa. Corina got the beef and broccoli which came with a side of Jasmine rice. Everything was delicious although Randy was missing a couple things: a spicier salsa and thinner chips. I thought they were fine but he is quite particular where chips and salsa are concerned. He enjoyed the tacos, loved that they were street tacos and thought the carnitas were a little more flavorful but both were good. My salad was fresh and flavorful, all the components (minus the spicy macha salsa) made it exactly what I was hoping for. The corn was buttery, creamy, flavorful. The best I've had. It's a whole piece of corn broken in half and slathered with all the goodness with some slaw, cotija and lime on the side. Corina's beef and broccoli was scrumptious. I don't normally enjoy that dish but this one was excellent. The meat was flavorful and not grisly and the broccoli was cooked perfectly, not mushy. It was a huge portion. After eating a piece of the corn, she's got beef broccoli leftovers. Randy also got a raspberry soda which was good, not super sweet, and Corina got the apple mint lemonade which was very good. Everyone was nice and helpful and the music was a good level, plenty of seating. Apparently some outside too. We absolutely are looking forward to going back.

The food was Chinese fusion with Mexican influences and we got mala noodles, 1 shrimp taco, and fried chicken. I'm Chinese and my husband is Mexican, so in theory this place would be right up our alley. However the shrimp taco's tortilla was not made fresh which is is the whole point of the taco (the salsa and the tortilla). The chicken was decent but not spectacular. The mala noodle was good on flavor (kudos for keeping the "ma" part intact) and probably the best part of the meal, but the rice noodle needs to be cooked 1-2 minutes less.

Loved that all the food is homemade including the tortillas. We ordered the carne asada and chipotle tacos along with an order of eloté. We could not have been more pleased. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating and we grabbed a table under a big tree. The menu offers some great selections. I was tempted to try the chilaquiles but tacos always get me. Carmen's Famous Tortilla Soup looked really tasty as well, so it looks like I have a reason to return. Alcohol including tequila is also served along with refreshing aqua frescos. Our food came out fairly quickly and it was hot and ready to eat. Tacos were juicy and the eloté although not the best I have ever had still provided good flavor. Location is easy to find although parking was tight. Perhaps it was the time of day we came and it was a weekend. Service was quick and efficient. Ambiance was perfectly beautiful sitting amongst the trees. I would recommend should you find yourself in Bend stopping here for a little bit of Mexico!
