El Erradero — Restaurant in Baker City

My family was traveling through Baker City after a vacation. We were sick of fast food and had the idea to order takeout here. Great decision. It is just a couple minutes off the interstate, and the to-go order was done in fifteen minutes or so. I asked for additional to-go boxes so that I could divide the entrees among our kids. It took just a couple minutes to portion the food out so they could eat en route. The server who was helping with our to-go order was extremely friendly and accommodating.

And the food was fantastic. Their salsa is in the top five of restaurant salsas I've eaten. It's full of tomatoes and onions and has just the right amount of heat to please the masses who like it on the mild side while still giving a shout out to those that like hot salsa.

To sum up, if you're traveling through town, HIGHLY consider skipping the fast food on the strip and trying...

I've eaten here several times over the past few years when passing through baker city. The food is good. The service is ok. A few days ago we stopped in for a late lunch while passing through town. Another diner in the restaurant actually came over to our table to express his disgust with the shirt my husband had on supporting a political candidate.

We have now decided to no longer spend any of our money in this little town and will instead plan our trip...

The food was delicious, large portions, but best of all was the wonderful customer service. When my family first sat down, the waitress said that there was a mistake in the kitchen and they had 2 plates of food with no one to give them to. She asked if my family wanted free food. We said yes, of course. She brought us the free food, and we also ordered a few more plates of food for our children. When she brought our children's food out, we realized there had been a mistake. My son had ordered eggs, but was brought taquitos. I alerted the waitress to the mistake, as my son really wanted his eggs. The waitress then said she was sorry for the mistake and we could keep the taquitos for no charge, and she shortly brought my son his eggs. So that's the story of how we received 3 free plates of food, and were very impressed with the wonderful...
