    Shredded Beef enchiladas!

    Food is always Excellent!! Canitas and shredded beef are the bomb!! If you haven't given them a try you definitely should. Tiny hole in the wall place!

    Grilled Chicken Taco Carne Asada Taco & Rice

    Dinner was excellent! I had the carne asada and grilled chicken tacos, my husband had the pork verde burrito (wet) and a birria taco--everything was hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. The food is consistently delicious, and I usually get the chicken flautas but switched it up because I wanted tacos. An ice-cold Corona (now that they have their beer & wine license back) was perfect. On top of the great food, the owners are wonderful people--friendly, personable, and always make you feel welcome. Great food, great portions, and great people!

    La Costa Grill is hands-down the best Mexican food on the Central Coast--bar none--and I say that as a true Mexican food snob.

    Very overpriced for a small carne asada burrito. Could have easily been a $5 dollar burrito as opposed to $13.

    I really like this restaurant-I go there ALL OF THE TIME. Good food, good location, clean, good…read morevalue, excellent service. Also, a great salsa bar with all you can eat free chips. FYI, people need to stop giving 4-star reviews. I read the most of the reviews and wondered why anyone would write it is a good or great restaurant and then give it only 4-Stars, which is uncool... La Parrilla Taqueria clearly deserves a 5-Star rating.

    This is in regards to the catering. I looked up La Parilla, there are several locations in SLO…read morecounty, and I just picked one in AG since i'm closest to that one right now, and it's the same logo as what is on the catering truck with the same name So i'm guessing, it's the same owner/operator as the catering. I waited 45 minutes and paid $6 dollars for this piece of crap (will attach a pic) i got the vegetarian taco, which you would think they could at least add some cheese to it for flavor but nope. Also, for a place called "The gril", you would think that the vegetables WOULD actually be grilled, but no, they were not. The rice was dry, and the beans had no flavor. I literally could not eat it and left half of it there. My server felt so bad she insisted on not taking a tip. So because of this crappy company, my server did not get a tip. I would have insisted, but I didn't have cash, and she would not allow me to add a tip to my card charge because she knew I waited 45 minutes for a fu*king vegetable taco ‍ Honestly, I think they screwed up and forgot, because there's no way it should have taken that long, and she knew that....she kind of flinched and grimaced, and she said "I'm sorry, I think they got backed up" and kind of rolled her eyes as if to say, I think they fu*ked up, she even said quietly to me "I think maybe they forgot". This was for the live music event on Friday, 6/19 at Claiborne & Churchill. The music was great, The servers/ wine stewards were amazing, but the food was horrible. At least my taco was. if I ever see La Parilla serving food again anywhere I am, I will not order anything! BLECH. Oh, also I asked for no onions, and they couldn't even get that right. In one of my pictures, you will see onions that I pulled aside on the plate. I could have pulled aside more, but I was wolfing down what I could after waiting 45 miinutes for a frigging shit*y vegetarian taco that was crap when I got finally got it. NOT worth the wait. No cheese, no sour cream, no guacamole....just dry rice, flavorless beans, and a few pieces of bell pepper, plus onions - which I asked to NOT HAVE. What a pathetic, underflavored, overpriced taco. Ironically, I drove by Hannah's tacos food truck earlier, and I should have just bought some tacos from them. They are, I think $3 per taco, and 10 times better than this crap was

    I had high hopes for this spot, unfortunately it quickly turned into an utter disappointment from…read morebad to worse. While exploring the nearby businesses of the hotel we were staying at, we decided to stop for an early dinner. The place looked quiet, and even though there were very few patrons, we had a short wait before being seated. (This was the first red flag) The restaurant is structured nicely with an open facing entryway to the street, allowing the sun and breeze to flow. The problem, is that it was difficult to admire the interior of the restaurant without ignoring the noticeable spiderwebs and cobwebs in the ceiling and rafters. If I can see them, then I know they can see them. They do however, have very nice indoor and outdoor patio seating, with several tv's throughout. We were served complimentary chips and salsa shortly after we were seated. The chips were light and crispy. The salsa? Awful. Very thin and runny, with absolutely no flavor. We had to have waited a good ten minutes or so before our drink order was taken. Upon taking our drink order, I also placed an order for chips & guacamole. Our waitress was friendly, but curt. After tasting the salsa I chose to play it safe and went with the chile verde enchiladas, and my wife went with the combo plate with a chicken taco and enchilada. By the time we placed our second drink order it was blatantly obvious that our waitress had completely forgotten about our order of chips and guacamole, which was confirmed when our meal arrived. I will say that the margaritas were outstanding, maybe one of the best I've had. To my surprise, the chile verde enchiladas were actually really good. Nice texture, good flavor. The rice was bland and flavorless, and I'm convinced that the black beans were straight from a can. Lacking both flavor and/or seasoning (They weren't even hot) and equally plain. My wife's meal wasn't any better. The chicken was super dry served on a sad and raw tortilla. The beans...disgusting slop. If I had any doubts about whether MY beans were canned, I had absolutely no doubt about hers. These beans were so undoubtedly canned I'm surprised they didn't still have the impression of the tin can on them. No seasoning, no flavor, and lukewarm at best. Enough is enough. I couldn't wait to pay my tab and make a swift exit.

    When we first got there no one was there and there was one server. We got seated and had no…read moresilverware or napkins. The waiter gave us the chips and salsa which were good. Our server didn't ask us what we wanted to drink so we never got a drink only water. The shrimp tacos were bland and not the greatest, the quesadilla especial was good, and the cantina burrito was also pretty good. The decor was nice you it's spacious and has outdoor seating. Overall the service was not great; no silverware, no drinks only water, and only one server. The food though was great.

A small place near beautiful pismo beach. Decided to first order a shrimp taco for myself, in my opinion it was overloaded with tomatoes, i should've asked to taken it off, but the shrimp was alright. Then i decided to get some chips and salsa as O wanted a good crunch, the salsa was yummy and flavorful, good choice. but nachos were so plain, the crunch was great but such a. lack of flavor I could not force myself to finish my $6 plain chips , even with all that salt i added cause of it's lack of flavor. I just saved it to make chilaquiles at home lol also the salsa bar was poorly maintained :( pretty sad lookin my boyfriend got the 3 plate tacos of birria and he rates it a 2.7/5, he was expecting to get the soup alongside it, because he's gotten it from other places, which i think is #valid but this taco of asada...was SO FRIKEN GOOD I HAD TO SIT IN SILENCE EATING IT AND JUST ENJOY ALL THE FLAVORS, I WILL BE BACK FOR THIS TACO DE ASADA overall $30
