Reviews Summary

La Parrilla offers a lively Mexican dining experience with many patrons praising the vibrant atmosphere, live music, and potent margaritas. While some dishes like the guacamole and seafood platters receive high marks, others have found the food to be unappetizing or overpriced. A recurring concern is the unexpected addition of a service charge to the bill, which has led to frustration for some diners.

"This was one of the best meals I have ever had! The food was cooked perfectly, the staff were incredible, attentive and worked together so well. The food came quickly and we opted for Mayan coffee at the end which was a very fun show! We enjoyed the vibrancy on the streets below, and the mariachi band that came up and played in the restaurant during our meal. I had the mariachi tacos and each one was better than the last. I can’t wait to return here time and time again! Oh and do not overlook the lobster tacos- your life will never be the same."

"We had soup and steak and cheese tacos. Soup was similar to a can of Campbells and tacos were pretty unappetizing. Friendly staff and maybe a more fun spot to drink at night, but I don’t recommend eating a meal here."

Adelaide Walker

"BEWARE of this restaurant!
We had a late lunch here. The place is huge and occupies the second floor of the building. It is also located on the corner of 2 major streets and of Quinta Allegria mall. Hard not to miss!

First off, the food was good. We had the Mayan fish dish and grilled fish, lime soup and calamari. Not perfect in presentation but tasted well and freshly cooked. We had fun with the new flavors in our taste buds! The servers were friendly and smiling.

I could have given them 4 stars easily, but they padded 18% propino on top of our bill without asking. Without seeing the bill yet my spouse told the waiter to add 20% tip for him, until i grabbed his arm when i notice the details of the bill. That's highway robbery! Had we been drinking anybody could have miss it what they did and overcharge just like that.
BEWARE of this establishment!"

- For authentic Mexican cuisine and Mariachi music, sit on the upper level of La Parilla, which overlooks the vibrant 5th Avenue and adds to the magic of your dining experience. The friendly staff serves dishes like chicken enchiladas in a mole sauce, arrachera steaks (thin, tender, grilled cuts of beef), shrimp tacos and traditional fajitas. By the time you come to the bottom of your fishbowl cocktail, you will be belting out songs right along with the mariachi!
