Yup. I'm definitely a fan. Note: I think this is a new location. Not sure if they moved or this is a 2nd restaurant. I'm only here in Eagle Pass for two weeks and I wasn't really impressed with the food here so far, until my visit to La Parrilla. The other day, I asked a local girl at the front desk of my hotel what was the best taco shop in Eagle Pass. She was a little hesitant. Seeing that I wasn't a local nor was I Mexican, she named a couple of spots probably thinking, "Hmm. What places do non-Mexicans like here in town, since they're used to Taco Bell and Chipotle?" I then pressed her a little by first letting her know that I have a fairly vast experience with Mexican food and I must find the best tacos in town. I asked her where would she go if it was her last day in Eagle Pass and she could never get tacos here again. She quickly answered, "La Parrilla". Stepping out of my truck into the parking lot, I knew right away that I was going to be happy. The pleasant aroma of grilled meats could not be contained within the restaurant walls. I'm not sure how it is at night but during lunchtime, I believe we had to seat ourselves. No servers were around to greet us but a couple were hanging around the bar in the back waiting for someone to sit down at a table. It appears that they have a lot of orders to go, as they front desk was filled with multiple bags of food. My coworker and I sat ourselves. Being in uniform, I assumed that was why an English speaking waitress came to our table to take our drink orders. Super-cute with glasses and braces, our waitress was crazy nice. She was more than happy to explain everything on the menu for me. I was impressed with her helpful spirit and I couldn't thank her enough. After noticing, I had to ask and she confirmed; only beef and chicken were on the menu here at La Parrilla. They do not serve pork, which was fine because there were ample choices on the menu to satisfy anyone. IMO, I think it is better to be really good at a few things than mediocre at everything. I was down for tacos so I asked what were the most popular? This wasn't an easy question to be answered so I went with two beef choices, of course. Wait, not chicken? Heck no. Who bases their reviews off chicken tacos? Sorry. This ain't California. This is Texas. And in Texas... we eat beef! I ordered the arrachera and the costilla. Being Asian, I had no idea what these were but they were part of the popular choices. My waitress told me that arrachera was skirt steak and costilla was rib meat. Heck yeah, I was good with that. When they arrived, I was good and ready to trying them both. Though they looked very similar, I could easily tell which was which by the consistence of the meat cut. They were both really good. It wasn't easy to determine which one I liked more but if I had to choose one, it would be the costilla. Needless to say, I destroyed them all. I ordered 5 tacos and though it was more than filling, I was wanting more. I could have easily killed 7-10 because I was that happy with the flavors. I was also served limes, pico de gallo and two salsas; red and green. In Texas, I find that in most places the green salsa in hotter but here was just like CA: the red was the spicier hot one. And it was damn good. If you can't handle spicy, I'd recommend sticking with the green but if you're feeling a little adventurous, go for the red salsa. After reading this long review, I have to thank you for sticking with me this far and I hope you take my recommendation to try La Parrilla. It was well worth it and I plan to visit a few more times before I leave Eagle Pass. Thank you to friendly staff at La Parrilla for helping me leave Eagle Pass with an enjoyable experience. read more

Visited some friends in Eagle Pass. And they took us to this restaurant. Exterior looks a little rough and cobbled together. Inside has an eclectic, rustic, haphazard aesthetic. Food: ordered the arrachera plate which essentially consisted of unflavored fajita meat, beans, and Spanish rice. It was pretty good! The corn tortillas were the smallest corn tortillas I've ever seen, but they were good. Service: decent service and friendly. Overall cleanliness: below average Bathroom, cleanliness: bad read more

Ordered a quesadilla with meat, got back a plain quesadilla that was already close to being cold. That along a can of coke was 18 whole dollars. read more

I had the Mixto plate with charro beans and rice. The charro beans were delicious. The rice was very bland. The Mixto had sliced sausage pieces, chicken fajitas and beef fajitas, those were okay but nothing to brag about. The chips and salsa had to different salsas, one was very spicy which I liked a lot. The other salsa was an avocado type and not so spicy but still good. The waiter was very attentive even though the place was full, it was noisy. The electricity kept turning off about every 8-12 minutes during the time we were there. It would turn back on immediately. Not sure if the circuits were being overloaded....which now makes me wonder if that's a safety concern? read more

Oh my, oh my, oh my!!!! I have eaten here about 5 times now and I can't choose any other places in town. The food is the real deal. I love authentic Mexican. All the meat is grilled on charcoal and has that amazing outdoor flavor. I have tried multiple items on the menu and every time it is great. Brush up on your Spanish, sit down and enjoy beautiful Eagle Pass. The people are the nicest folks. read more

Walked in and gave the place a chance simply because it was the closet thing to the funeral home. The initial waitress if that's what she was greeted and took our drink order after we finished our drinks it's took us 10 minutes get acknowledged. There wasn't a courtesy "how's everything", "would you like a refill" not once did anyone come to check on our table. Food was on tasteful and hot which was great and all but the level of customer service was poor. We came as a group of 4 adults and 5 kids which should have not been anywhere close to difficult. read more

The food is authentic and delicious, there may be a language barrier for non-Spanish speakers but your service will still be outstanding. You could actually asked to be surprised by any one thing in the menu and you would never be disappointed. read more

Tacos are pretty good and the service was great! However multiple people in the group paid $11-13 for burgers with process meat patties that weren't even seasoned. Just be careful on what you order I guess. read more
