Outstanding service! Super friendly! Good recommendations! (Their menu is substantial.) Hot, fresh, self-serve tortilla chips, to start. My Carnitas Burrito Bowl was sizable and had all the good stuff and plenty of it. Full meal size, for sure. The carnitas was tasty and moist, and not dried out. Plenty of indoor seating, clean, and plentiful parking in the shopping center lot. I'll be back, for sure! read more

We found this nice Mexican restaurant while passing through Atascadero. The restaurant is quite spacious, staff if super friendly and helpful, and food was delicious! We ordered the La Parrilla carne asada burrito, chips and salsa. The portion was large and very filling. They have a salsa bar, and chips are nice and hot. We will make sure to stop by again when in the area. Happy Now Nom! read more

My friends and I popped in here for a quick bite and initially were overwhelmed because the menu has so many good options. The service was nice and helped narrow it down, I got the barbacoa quesabirria and my friends got a burrito and a chicken quesadilla. Honestly the standout was their quesadilla, it was so yummy. Cute little ambiance inside as well, I'd go back to get a quesadilla! read more

Casual spot for Mexican food with both indoor/outdoor seating and a salsa bar! My friend and I were looking for a quick and filling dinner spot after spending the day nearby at Morro Bay, and La Parrilla was perfect! We came by Friday evening around 7 pm and it wasn't too crowded. They offer all the standard Mexican dishes, from burritos to tacos to tortas, etc. I got a shrimp burrito for $13.95, and my friend got a grilled chicken super burrito for $13.95. While we waited for our burritos, we helped ourselves to the complimentary chips and salsa from the salsa bar. We didn't have to wait long though, since our food came out pretty quickly. My burrito was super solid. I really appreciate that they packed it full of delicious buttery shrimp. My friend's burrito was okay... his grilled chicken was honestly pretty bland. I tried a couple bites and like my shrimp burrito more. Also, the tortillas they use here are MASSIVE. We saw them making them through the kitchen window, and they were some of the largest tortillas I've ever seen. Because of this, there was a lot of extra folded tortilla in my burrito. I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a good Mexican meal in Atascadero! read more

La Parilla is one of our 2 favorite Mexican places in A-Town, with the other being Suprema. La Parilla stands out for its unique menu items / recipes, high quality ingredients, and preparation. The Carne en Su Jugo soup is out of this world delicious! This seems weird to say, but their rice is amazing, with a delicious topping that I've never seen at any other Mexican place. I usually get the fajitas, which is a very generous portion (2 meals including leftovers). Take a look at their Mojarra Frita! The wife had it once and really enjoyed it. We really should try this place more often, and their specialidades. This place always has seating available and futbol on TV. Plus beer! We highly recommend La Parilla read more

We are not from the area at all, and now I know what it means when people from California say there isn't good Mexican food in the US, except in California. Our meal here was fantastic. We were there at lunch, and the place was hopping. I picked it out online because it had a salsa bar. I ordered off the a la carte menu and got two cheese enchiladas with verde sauce. This was not just green salsa, it was their pork verde. It.was.amazing! I am embarrassed at how fast I ate it all. I forgot to take a picture even. Super cheesy, excellent tortillas and the verde; oh that verde.... My partner got the torta regular with al pastor. Also sublime! In addition, we got great chips and salsa, including the avocado/ green salsa that I am going to think about for a really long time. The staff here was especially nice, super helpful and friendly. Service was quick- order at the counter and they bring it to your table. I would not hesitate for one second to return here on my next trip through Atascadero. It could not be an easier stop off 101. What a treasure. And now I am ruined for Mexican food where I live... read more

Their chips and salsa are amazing, especially the green salsa. The chips are self serve and are always warm and crispy. We usually order the Burria tacos which are to die for. Their quesadillas are also absolutely delicious. My husband just recently got the shrimp fajitas and loved them as well.

Honest Mexican food. You order the food at the counter and they will bring it to the table. The young guy at the counter was very personable. Since this is my first time here , he was patient enough to explain me the menu. He also adjusted a few things to accommodate my vegan diet. He also suggested a few things to make it a more gratifying meal. The salsa bar had many options. The freshly made salsas were very distinct in taste and flavorsome. Prices are moderate. I also saw that this place was full of people, which is why we decided to give it a try and we were not disappointed This is exactly the hospitality you would expect in a little beach town.

Last minute decision to stop by for lunch on a roadtrip home. The Yelp reviews did not steer us wrong. Everything was delicious. We also ended up ordering too much, but we took home the excess for lunch the next day. We had a birria "pizza" (turned out it was more like an extra large quesadilla) but it was delicious, lots of tender tasty meat and cheese and consume to dip in. Also got the supreme nachos, so good. This fed 5 of us! So the burrito got packed up for later (and yes it was good the next day)! They had some outdoor tables and plenty of space inside. Clean restrooms, welcoming staff. This location was pretty easy to find right off the freeway as well. read more

I had a great meal at La Parrilla in Arroyo Grande so when I noticed that another location is Atascadero I detoured to go for lunch. I was disappointed in the Atascadero location. I order the samething, mullita de barbacoa and it wasn't as good. The meat didn't taste fresh and the inside of the tortillas was soupy wet. The broth that came with the meal was the best thing I had. It had a nice flavor with fresh cilantro. As far as chips and salsa. There were just a few chips in the self serve (they needed to restock this and some other items in the salsa bar that were basically empty). I got medium red salsa. One bite and I threw out the salsa and chips. There was something wrong with the salsa. Had a terrible taste. I wish I noticed it also smelled off before tasting it. I have never had salsa that tasted so bad. The dining area was a bit dingy. I had planned to come here a few times over the next few days but after trying it I will not return to this location. read more

I cancelled my wedding rehearsal dinner and called up La Parrilla day of to see if they would cater something similar (build your own taco kind of trays) they said ABSOLUTELY. We were able to pick up our trays for a fraction of the price chipotle was going to charge and 100% better quality and love. Thank you so so much for accommodating our party last minute.

Ambiance. Not good. Feels like no one cares here. It's hot. No AC. Actually hot air was blowing into restaurant. Counter service, which I'm not a fan of. Waiting for food took too long There's a women's room but no men's. ? Beans and rice were bland. I ordered a fish and shrimp taco. Why are they using the mini taco shells. 3 tiny tacos. This wasn't disclosed. We also ordered a chicken taco plate with beans and rice, a carne asada wet burrito that my son liked, and a chicken burrito to go that was bland. Salsa bar. Why 3 mild and one hit that didn't look appetizing. The mild were good but all tasted the same and need a medium option. I will not be back. Not a good experience and on a 109 degree day we don't want to dine in a hot stuffy room. read more

Food and service is pretty darn good. I had the carne asada plate with the ceviche. The price was excellent, and the carne asada met expectations. The ceviche was excellent. It was covered in chamoya sauce, which apparently I've never had. It looks like it would be way overwhelmingly flavorful, but it was actually the perfect combination of shrimp and sauce. They came around with some samples ofi flan, and I was immediately sold. It was darn tasty. There's convenient parking and the seating inside the restaurant is well spaced. This is one of those places that I would definitely come back to. read more

So in all fairness, I can't review this place too much. They had a very extensive menu with burritos, taquitos, tacos, etc. I wasn't very hungry, so I ordered two soft tacos with Carnitas. The service was fine. They took my order right away and it was ready pretty quick as I took it to go. I guess I should've gotten some of their salsa which they had plenty to choose from. I definitely will go back and review it probably a little differently if I eat there. The place was well lit, and had lots of tables, although I love booths. read more

We were given a buzzer and were told to come to the pick up area once our buzzer goes off. We sat in the bar area since it was the quietest since we were with our 4 month old, Restaurant is super cute with western themed items throughout the place. The steakhouse burger was very good! Decent size burger and very buttery (in a good way) and the pig iron was delicious! Pulled pork was nice and tender with just the right amount of bbq sauce on there. The onion rings were nice and crispy as well and a huge serving for their full size. I'd definitely give this place a try if I'm in the area again!

The original Pig Iron was out of our price range. Their new service plan fits our budget perfectly…read more The pulled pork is so incredibly flavorful it doesn't need bbq sauce. That stated, the pulled pork sandwich is my favorite. If pork is your go-to, Pig Iron or Jeffry's in Paso are your best choices.

Tip is to go next door to Pig Iron for your drinks if the bar is too crowded at Club Car Bar. Sound system is very advanced. Nice folks working and patronizing. Order food before 8:00 (comes from Pig Iron). Plenty of street parking. A cute local spot in the former AJ Spurs (still has the safe - cool!) as well as a former post office and saddlery. Love the space, love the vibes. Cocktails were $13 - not too bad for top shelf.

Cooked just right, not dry. Nicely seasoned and just enough tasty tartar sauce. The arugula and tomato topped it off nicely. (Sorry, no photos because I devoured it.) Service was pleasant and attentive. Several TVs for sports viewing, if you can get the right angle. What is a 2.99% (not quite 3.00%) "Operations Fee" tacked on to the bill? Is it because of this: "This business has a 2.99% Cash Adjustment Discount built into all pricing." Tell me this upfront or build it into the food and beverage prices. Sorry, this is a deal breaker for me. Others will tell me to get over it. Street parking only. No private lot.

Excellent attentive considerate service. Willing to make requested changes to cocktail I ordered…read more Good ambiance. (Outdoor and indoor seating) Great tasting cocktail. Really good tasting Asian chicken wrap and sweet potato fries. Only complaint was the wrap was super messy, dripping sauce all over the place, and started to fall apart as I got toward the end of the wrap. Expensive, but I thought it was worth it. Big portion sizes. (I would actually prefer if they were smaller and cheaper.) I was too full for desert, but next time, I definitely want to try one of their delicious sounding deserts.

Cozy interior with a nice covered patio + extended outdoor patio facing Chalk Mountain Golf Course + Rocky Canyon. My wife really enjoyed her bacon and goat cheese sandwich with the seasoned tomatoes on side. I loved my California Benedict. Only knock was the service was a little slow with only one server for most the covered patio. Well executed establishment that's equal parts classy, cozy, and still casual. The elevated tavern-style menu was intriguing and fun. We'll be going back now that we're local for other items
