Hola Bend Oregon
If you’re stranded way out on the East side of Bend and need some breakfast, where do you go? Starting this weekend Hola will serve breakfast. I’d recommend calling to confirm just in case they are postponing a week or so.
The wife and I were doing a little shopping on the East side of town and thought we’d get ourselves an early beverage. But then we realized we were on the East side. What do you guys do over there? I was lost, parched, confused, and the sun was in my eyes.
So we decided to get a margarita at Hola!. We had enjoyed our first experience there and so we thought we’d check it out again. We were pleased with the drinks as well as with the chips and salsa. I noticed that they do not offer the rolls along with the chips anymore. I asked about it and they said that they were throwing more than 80% of them out cause no one was eating them.
Marcus, one of the owners, told us about the plans for breakfast so hopefully that will be a treat for you guys. Some folks have commented on my other Hola post about the decline in service and the portion sizes. I’d like to hear from others if they are noticing the same thing. We didn’t eat that day, just got our drink on.
Hola!

Sno Cap Drive In
Driving back into town from Portland, the wife was all like “We gots to gets our eat on at da Sno Cap yo!” Yeah she’s pretty ghetto-tastic. Watch what you say, if she don’t like you, she WILL cut you.
I don’t make a habit out of eating in Redmond since I’m never there. We did drive there once to eat at the only place in Central Oregon that serves Pho (written as pho and pronounced “fuh” by English speakers, is a traditional Vietnamese noodle soup dish) but it’s no longer in business as my friend from North of the yuppie line told me.
But I have a not clogged all of my arteries yet so I was game to give this place a try. Located on the right side of 97 as were coming into Redmond it was perfect for me as I don’t like trying to cross traffic in them parts.
As we sat at the table looking over the menu I was looking at the locals in their cowboy boots, hats, HUGE belt buckles and what they were eating. Couples were splitting some of the burgers since the half pounders were that big. I settled for the chili burger. Why not? I like chili. I wasn’t ready for this though:
The wife went for the 1/4 pound burger supreme (I’m guessing cause I can’t exactly remember what it was called) which had bacon and ham. Seriously, I love that woman!
Next time I’m returning from a trip in that direction, I’ll swing by Sno Cap again. I want to try to take on one of those other big boy burgers. The huge list of shakes and malts is also enticing. I’m sure I’m not telling Redmondites anything here but if you’re in that neck of the woods (haha do they have trees in Redmond?) definitely swing by. Oh an they have special sauce that they put right on the table! I LOVE special sauce!
What cracked me up was the “one free refill” on the sodas. The wife and I remember the good ol days of going to some place very similar to Sno Cap with our ghetto ass friends and we’d split a soda and hang out for a while getting our free refills. You gots to get your free refill on if you know wut I’m sayin!
