    I can't speak more highly of this place. The owner was kind enough to explain the entire menu to us, and included the history of how La Sierra came to be. It felt homey inside, which I loved. If that wasn't enough reason to go, the food was AMAZING. I cleaned my plate entirely and I can't wait to go back.

    Been here several times now. Genuine 5 stars every time. Food is delicious, at great prices. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Clean and comfortable.

    One of the best restaurants in Omaha period. Everything on the menu is amazing. It's not greasy at all and everything tastes simple and homemade in the best way.

    I went on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty peaceful. I had the chicharron plate, which was indeed fairly spicy, but had a good texture and flavor. I also had an asada gordita, which were a bit thin for my preference but good nonetheless. You order your food at the counter and they'll bring it out to you, which for me only took about 15 minutes.

    DO NOT eat here unless you want authentic, fresh 'real' mexican food with exceptional service. 1st visit here with my 107yo Mother. We frequented the 'Bohemia' area back in the 60's & 70's, so thought I would revisit the area. My choice for La Sierra was determined by the YELP & Google reviews which are exceptional. Upon entering, I believe Brenda noticed my unfamiliar surroundings, so she graciously came over to the table, brought menus and explained their process. We ordered the 'Potatoes with cheese Gorditas' and of course two beers..... :-) The food temp was just right and tasty. This place will for sure be on my eating out list when I revisit Omaha. Highly recommend.

    Great lunch at La Sierra! It was hard to not order everything (including a hot dog from the restaurants cart across the street!) the service was accommodating and very friendly - we had a lot of Questions! Plus the whole space was nice and clean, can't wait to get back!

    Phenomenal Mexican food!! Five stars! Delightful, family run business (from Durango). It all looked good, so I told him to make me whatever he wanted. Everything he brought out was delicious.

    Just found this place (how?!)...very good! I can't wait to try all the different options, and drinks! Today I went with the Asado Del Puerco quesadilla and a coke. Quesadilla was oozing with cheese and meat, perfect. Lady working the front counter was very kind, attentive, and even turned on College Football on one of the TVs when she saw me watching it on my phone. A+ for service. For $8, I was hoping the quesadilla came with beans/rice, but next time I'll make sure to ask. First time mistake. Definitely will be back!

    Came in with friends and their family. Saw this on yelp and saw the gorditas which I can never find and had to check it out. This place did not disappoint!! From the moment we walked in we were greeted by a blonde woman who was just the sweetest, very knowledgeable about the menu and answered everyone's questions. My friends parents who aren't familiar with authentic Mexican food had alot of questions and she was so patient and kind to them! 5 stars just for her! Papas con carne Gordita 9/10 Picadillo roja Gordita 9/10 Quesadilla y pork 9/10 Deshebrada Gordita 10/10 Honestly everything was fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced with amazing hospitality. I would 10000% recommend this place and wish I could come back again and again. Sadly, I was just visiting but really missing my San Diego/Tijuana Mexican food and this hit the spot!

    Hot Dog Truck
    Nicole O.

    Yesterday we tried out La Sierra's hot dog truck! It's perfectly located right across the street from the full indoor restaurant. The guy working the truck was super nice and the service was quick. We got two hot dogs, wrapped in bacon topped with peppers, ketchup, mayo, onion, tomato, & pico de gallo. When I tell you this hit the spot - IT DID! So refreshing and filling. 11/10 would recommend!

    Authentic and understated with the most delicious food. A must try.

    Absolutely wonderful first time experience. The quality and authenticity of the food is second to none. The service and kindness of the staff stood out. I can't say enough good things about this little place. The space itself is perfect, clean and adorable. I am still thinking of the food. We no longer live in Omaha, but we will be telling friends and family about this absolute gem!

    Picadillo Rojo plate.

    Highly recommend! The flour tortillas are homemade and everything had so much flavor. My husband ordered 5 different gorditas... ate all of them. Ha. Family operated and great service. Would definitely come back.

    platillo chorizo con huevo, and gordita
    _c-record _.

    basic Duranguense style Mexican, very good. I have become brunch regular and usually have a platillo nopales con huevo (cactus & egg) or the chorizo along with a gordita on the side and flour tortillas. Excellent margaritas as well.

It's super cute inside, with so many bright colors, neat Día de los Muertos murals along the walls, colorful pendants strung on top of the dining area, and a very cool bar with a patterned, arched shelves. Even the dishes and cups are fabulous, with earthenware mugs, blue Talavera style dishes and bowls, and even branded El Milagro margarita glasses. Now more importantly, the FOOD is just as good as the decor and the dishware. They use extra high quality ingredients, and everything is always served hot and fresh. We have had the birria, nachos, street tacos, flautas, and so many other things when we branch out and try something new. Their drink options are also great, with strong margaritas, crisp cervesas, and tasty cocktails. The service is always fantastic, and they are always hopping with customers, so you know you found a good spot. Best of all, you get pretty large portions, and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg like some of the newer Mexican restaurants in town. Next time you're thinking about heading to the Texas Roadhouse area, skip the Roadhouse and try El Milagro instead! I guarantee you will not regret your decision.

However, unlike other Mexican restaurants you do have to pay for additional salsa. I went with a house margarita and the benveza beer, and both were good and cold. I went with the steak picaditas. I hadn't had them before but they were similar to a torta, except the base is a very thick corn tortilla. I like the flavor of the steak, tortilla, sour cream and veggies combined. My husband got the birria platter and liked it. It's very similar to Javi's birria. Overall everything was good.

This last visit they had the entire restaurant decorated for Valentine's Day coming up. But, besides the additional decorations the overall vibe is what you would expect for a Mexican restaurant but more. The service has been friendly and fast! The original Margarita is very good and for the price its about 3 servings. The complementary chips & salsa is great and more of a forgotten service nowadays, but great to see that Alegre is still doing it. The homemade tortilla chips are so good so be careful to not fill up on these before the main entrees. Kendra got the Chile Verde which was massive and was enough food for leftovers the next day. And, I had the Ceviche Sampler which is new and definitely worth every penny! It's hard to find restaurants that have ceviche on the menu, but this has been one of my favorites if you love seafood and a repeater for me! If your looking for more of an upscale $$ Mexican restaurant with great food, service and ambiance it's hard to beat El Muchacho Alegre.

The tacos I had were very warm and very filling, I was able to take some home for lunch the next day. The Cantarita was ok, seemed like it wasn't something that is usually made and it seemed more like it came in a bowl than the typical dish ware. The servers were very friendly and was able to help out when we had questions. The place itself was very well decorated and didn't seem cluttered. They have a lot of metallic art so that was pretty cool.
