Restaurant will stay open through winter

The onset of winter usually means that Hola! restaurant in Camp Sherman buttons up for the season. Not this year.

Manager Fabio Jimenez told The Nugget that Hola!, which specializes in Mexican-Peruvian cuisine, is open this fall from Wednesday through Monday, 3 to 8 p.m. and in winter on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 3 to 8 p.m. — with some new winter fare to weather the season. Sisters and Camp Sherman have supported the restaurant, and an influx of new regulars has made the move viable.

“This year, we’ve seen a lot of people coming from Black Butte Ranch and being regulars,” Jimenez said. “So we’ve got a good base for staying open through the winter.”

Hola! is still working out the menu for the season, but Jimenez said that it will focus on foods that can be served fresh. And, while some of the classic Hola! margaritas will still be available, the full bar will shift to some seasonal offerings.

“We’re definitely, for winter, going to bring some winter drinks to the table,” Jimenez said.

That means patrons can enjoy Spanish coffee, Mexican chocolate — and the staff is working on developing a “hot margarita.”

Hola! is located at 25545 SW Forest Service Rd. #1419, Camp Sherman.
