What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
La Parrilla offers a charming atmosphere and notably friendly waitstaff, with many guests praising the fresh guacamole and generous seafood portions. However, some diners have found the prices high for the quality and experienced inconsistent service, with appetizers sometimes arriving late or staff appearing inattentive.
"Nice atmosphere, very well priced, lovely staff. Got the medium vege pizza and beef fajitas, both tasted good and were large portions. Don't expect wood fired pizza. The food takes time, but relax, you are on vacation. Recommended."
Toby Spendiff
"I had the caldo de mariscos dish and it was from another world of how tasty, fresh and well cooked. Even though, it's not cheap, it's very accessible. Service from our waitress was great but there are other workers who seem distracted or just doing nothing."
