Sierra Grille

Overall great place, but here are a few points. The food is fresh, fast, convenient and good! If you like guacamole, some orders come with a small guacamole included. *Note, the small guacamole that comes with a particular meal is NOT a big size (hence the word "small") as it comes in a small to go ramekin (not a problem at all for my wife and I). I mention this because recently we witnessed a woman arguing with employees that she "expected" a big guacamole with her meal rather than the small one. We witnessed the polite and calm staff (that was working that day) inform the woman multiple times that the small came with her order and that the large is for purchase (which I believe is around 2 dollars). Some staff are a little "stand-offish" and passive which I don't like, but you can overlook this for the simple fact that you're there for a short period of time to eat and leave. Though things like employees attitudes and treatment towards patrons are part of the customer experience, some experiences and first impressions don't go initially unnoticed and are hard to ignore when it's blatant. In any case, simply eat, enjoy your time there with whomever your with or riding solo, ignore them unless you need something specific and leave. Lastly, my wife and I love two facts: 1) that you can pick you own toppings for assorted salsas, jalapeños, onions & cilantro (relish), etc. and 2) that the kitchen/grill/prep area are open so you can see everything going on behind the counter. I've worked in restaurants in the past and just have a different personal perspective about open kitchens that I really like and appreciate. Sour Cream and extra cheese can probably be asked for (possibly for a fee), but we never do that as we're always satisfied with our meals and never had an issues. An okay place to get a Mexican food fix.

We used to come here for quick meals many years ago when we lived in Rowayton. After we moved away, we haven't been back till yesterday. The place looked the same, still clean and food was fresh, price was still reasonable. I got a platter, some rice was not cooked through, the beef was lukewarm towards cold. But I hope it was an one off, will revisit again. The food is tasty, and I think it is healthier than fast food.

Been coming here since I was young, love the Sierra salad with steak and a great price for the quality. Fresh salsa bar and ingredients. Lettuce tomato cheese sour cream black beans steak and guacamole for under 12 bucks in a tortilla bowl and salsa bar. Can't beat it! I guess the decorations could use work but I'm comparing it to Chipotle not a five star resturant it's high quality fast food...
