Yes, you can get a great meal at a good price in western Nebraska! Oya Grill has an extensive menu of authentic Mexican dishes and some US favorites like cheeseburgers. All the food is well prepared and delicious, the portions are generous, and the service is fast and friendly.

Food was great. Only complaint is you have to pay for your second round of chips and salsa due to rising corn prices IDK. I do recommend OYO and will eat there again next time I'm in town.

Great food and great prices. The enchiladas rancheras is my absolute favorite but everything is so good, you can't go wrong. And the queso bean dip is a must have!

Good food, excellent and very quick service. Tomatillo salsa is very good and worth paying for, and the vampirito cocktail was good as well. Range of options that are vegan/vegetarian/shrimp-OK/fish-OK, and also plenty of standard fare. Bring cash.

With not a whole lot of great places to eat around the area, we decided to try this restaurant out. Just wow. The food was absolutely amazing and arrived on our table within 10 minutes of ordering. I ordered the "Burrito Grande" with some extra condiments and I was blown away with how good it was. The server was nice and the building was clean. Definitely up there with my favorite Mexican restaurants, highly recommend to anyone looking for an amazing dinner!
