La Parrilla tastes like everything I love most about Mexican food in America: hearty, comforting, flavorful, generous, and meant to be enjoyed around a table with people you love. This is the kind of restaurant that feels made for a Friday night with your family: ordering way too much food, passing plates around the table, eating chips and salsa until you swear you're already full, and then heading home afterward to curl up on the couch together and watch a movie. There's something wonderfully familiar and comforting about the whole experience. And the margaritas! They are very generously sized, refreshing, and exactly what you want alongside a big Mexican dinner. You definitely don't feel shortchanged when one arrives at the table. What really completes the experience, though, is the hospitality. The staff has always felt attentive, kind, and genuinely welcoming. That warmth matters because La Parrilla isn't the kind of place I associate with fussy dining. Sometimes the best restaurants aren't about reinventing food. They're about giving you exactly what you were craving and creating the kind of atmosphere that becomes attached to memories. La Parrilla does that beautifully. read more

La Parrilla on Howell Mill is still a solid spot for Mexican food, but for me, it has become a little overhyped over the years. The food is good and usually consistent. The fajitas come out sizzling and flavorful, the enchiladas are a solid choice, and the chips, salsa, and cheese dip make it easy to settle in and enjoy the meal. Portions are generous, so you definitely won't leave hungry. The atmosphere is lively, colorful, and usually busy. This location can get packed, especially during peak hours, so the experience can feel a little hectic depending on when you go. Service is generally friendly, although when they're slammed things can understandably slow down a bit. Overall, I still enjoy La Parrilla and would come back if I'm in the area. I just don't think the food is quite exceptional enough to match all of the hype surrounding it anymore. Good food, lively atmosphere, and a dependable option on Howell Mill. read more

We stopped by La Parrilla to catch the World Cup match between England and Mexico, and it turned out to be a great spot to watch the game. It wasn't overly crowded, so we had no problem finding a good seat, and the atmosphere was lively without feeling packed. The drinks were definitely strong, which was a plus. Being raised in California, I'm pretty picky about Mexican food, so I kept it simple with a cheese quesadilla. It was satisfying, although nothing that really stood out. The complimentary chips were unfortunately a bit stale, but the salsa made up for it with plenty of fresh flavor and a nice spicy kick. We stayed through the end of the match, and although the staff had started cleaning around us as closing time approached, they never rushed us out. Overall, it's a solid place for drinks, catching a game, and enjoying a relaxed atmosphere. read more

I chose the wrong meal. But the drinks! I will return for no doubt. I cannot tell you what I ordered but I was on the edge (insert giggles) I had a hamburger-it was charcoaled haha Like what happened. I didn't even bother to ask for something else (had to be the drinks). Fries were fresh & hot That salad was hot like a Summer day in AZ---- Next time I'll just get fries and drinks. Because they knew the assignment and answered it Oh and sit outside to people watch. Thank Wilson for your amazing service read more

It took me a while to try this place but I've been there several times now and I would highly recommend checking this place out. The lunch food and drink specials are definitely where it's at but overall the prices are surprisingly reasonable. The food has been great every time, no issues with the portion size and very tasty. Margaritas are excellent and everything well worth the cost. I don't think you will find a better lunchtime margarita special anywhere. The restaurant atmosphere is great, service and waitstaff excellent. I really can't complain about anything. I highly recommend this location and look forward to going back on a regular basis. read more

Father's Day and my friend treated me out. We got our nails and toes done then right next to it this Mexican spot. It was a lot of people there and I enjoyed myself. I got the mango salmon, mash potatoes, grilled asparagus and mango sauce which all of it was so good. Then whatever this drinks my friend order was so good too and frozen. This wasa great vibe. read more

Came here for a light dinner and wasn't disappointed. We were greeted and immediately seated by the host. There is plently of seating and a full bar. The whole place is decorated with catus and other "south of the border" decor. It was casual and the vibe was chill. I ordered the tacos shrimp and steak which were good nothing to write home to momma about. I also tried the Burrito Ranchero which had good flavor and filling. Overall, this is you standard tex-mex and it did what it was suppose to do. I would come back and try other items from the menu. read more

I received great service, even with us arriving maybe 50mins. before closing. We sat at the bar. If you've been to one Mexican restaurant/La Parrilla, I personally feel you seen them all...lol. Nice but the usual ambiance. I was not hungry, hungry, but I did get the La Parrilla dip(chicken, shrimp, & steak) with tortilla chips to go. I nibbled on it while drinking. I do have to say my cheese was a little loose for my liking but eatable. read more

Love this place and location. I ordered the Del Mar Enchiladas which is pretty much seafood enchiladas with cheese dip. I also ordered a 20oz margarita and it ended up having a gnat in it at some point and our waitress Valentina was able to get me another. They have tvs on in there so if you want to watch any sports, they have them for many angles. This is my go to spot for lunch or a quick bite. Parking is in a shopping plaza so no need to pay. Love the overall environment of this place and will be back. read more

Terrible experience at La Parilla on May 2, 2026. Our server was Mary. While the food and drinks were on par to what they always are when we visit, she threw my friend's Invisalign away that were on the table. Instead of an apology, she offered a scoff and a smirk. After speaking to the manager on duty, we finally received an apology. They treated us as if we were not going to tip adding gratuity to each bill bc we complained about the service. read more

I've been going to La Parilla for years and their food always hits. On my most recent visit, I got a weeknight dinner with some friends at their Howell Mill location. I came on a Thursday evening and our party of 6 was able to be seated on the covered patio within a few minutes. Although I didn't drink on this occasion, their margs are usually pretty solid. On this visit, I got their tinga tacos but I also love their quesadillas and combos too!! My tacos were delicious and seasoned well and I always love the rice and beans they serve on the side. This location is always a little loud, but the service is quick and it's always a great time! I'll be coming back to La Parilla for years to come! read more

Honestly, the food is usually good but the restaurant is raucously loud and the front is overcrowded. For that reason, we usually get takeout, but there have been some bad experiences with that. Today the issue was gluten. "Wheat allergy" was noted on the online order, but when I got there to pick it up I was told that they only had flour chips left. I still collected the order, but what I didn't expect was that the "no corn chips" issue ALSO applied to the tortilla strips that Should Be in the Monterrey salad. If they can't complete the order as placed, they should REACH OUT and give the customer a chance to cancel, rather than wait till we show up, hungry and hurried, to collect an order that should have been cancelled. read more

I enjoyed the atmosphere of this restaurant and my waiter was very nice and knowledgeable. I wanted to try something different than my go tos when I wat Mexican food and I waa not disappointed. This entree was so good. The food was so flavorful. The shrimp was fresh and I was not disappointed by the chipotle mashed potatoes. The margaritas were great and was on promotion since it was taco Tuesday. Everything was reasonably priced and I cannot wait to return. read more

Table for 2 for Dinner  Approaching the restaurant, I noticed they had a large, shared parking lot. We found a spot quickly, entered the restaurant, and were warmly greeted and seated promptly without a reservation. The security guard on duty even opened the door for us. I've been to this Parilla before, but it's been a while. It was now much brighter and vibrant than I remembered; there must have been some renovations. The huge indoor dining room was festive, with authentic Mexican music playing in the background. Our server quickly brought us complimentary chips and salsa. I liked the chips; they had a good crunch to them, and the salsa had a nice spice level--not too much. Their beer selection was just okay; I ordered a Creature Comfort Tropicallia, while Wifey opted for the Pink Lemonade. We were hungry, so we bundled our drink and food order. Wifey ordered the Shrimp Fajitas meal, and I went for 2 fried chicken tacos with black beans and rice. I noticed the whole place was super clean. In addition to the huge indoor dining area, they had a covered patio for the summertime with sliding garage doors. The food came out quickly and looked and tasted great. The shrimp fajitas were sizzling and steaming, and my chicken tacos were super crunchy and flavorful. This trip to La Parrilla was much better than expected; I'll definitely be coming back. read more

I have ordered to go twice in the last two weeks during lunch time. Once in person and the next time on the phone in advance. Keep in mind, lunch time from work is typically a time constraint. When ordering in person, i was told it should be ready in 10 to 15 minutes. 30 minutes later, nothing and having to check on it. Next time, today, ordered to go in advance. Was told it would be ready in 5 to 10 minutes on the phone. Arrive 10 to 15 minutes as know it isnt feasible at 5, then proceeded to wait an additonal 30 to 40 minutes. I have eaten at lunch and can get in and out in less time than that while being waited on. The hostess had me sit down and then my food was available at the bar and then it sat longer until i asked about it, then it was why didnt you come to the bar. Like the customer would know to do that after the Hostess already asked and check on the order intiially. Overall- sitting down to eat might be an option but not ordering to go unless you wait 30 minutes plus to arrive to pick it up. read more

A three for me is a solid established. And a place I'd frequent but wouldn't like leave my house and head there specifically. I think the best things going for La Parrilla are location and the bar. The drinks are the star. The food is predictable Americanized Mexican cuisine. Good for large or small groups. Good for families. Something for everyone on the menu. It's eating out vs dining out. And usually the go to spot based on location. I've also used their delivery service and they packaged everything to perfection. If I had my way - and o don't. I'd take out some of the oddly places tables that no one wants to sit at. Consider getting a couple of new - fresh sombreros that are used for the birthday celebrations. And pare down the menu. There is a great IG photo op right outside the front door. Don't miss it. read more

This chain is one of my favorite Mexican chains in the city. We arrived around 7:30 on a weekend for dinner as this place was quite busy! Luckily we were able to be seated in 15min, and our food only took about 10min to arrive after ordering. While waiting, we were able to snack on the chips and salsa which were pretty good. I ordered the ranchero burrito with chicken and almost missed the fact that it came with a slice of avocado on top! The chicken was seasoned well along with the peppers. The melted cheese on top and the salsa was a nice touch. It came with a side of rice and beans which were also really good. Overall, for the price, it was a good amount of food and good taste. The service was great and I look forward to coming back! read more

On a lazy Friday night all I wanted was something tasty covered in cheese- La Parrilla hit the mark! I ordered the Burrito Parrilla- a burrito with steak covered in cheese with rice and beans to be delivered. The steak was cooked perfectly! The whole meal was exactly what I needed and very filling. It also came with a side of chips and salsa, which was spicy for a wimp like me. The chips were crunchy and warm and tasted great! Overall a great choice. read more

Great Mexican food and margaritas on a budget. Location and Parking Located on Howell Mill Rd. in the same shopping center as Ultra, parking is plentiful and free. Venue and Atmosphere La Parrilla features indoor seating with a generously sized patio. The restaurant is noisy, inside and out, so please be prepared. Restrooms are very clean. Service The server took our order smoothly and gave us lots of advice on the menu. Food and Beverages I ordered the guac and chips, as well as the skirt steak quesadilla and a frozen strawberry margarita. The drink and guac were delicious, however the steak was a bit tough. The marinade was tasty but it took awhile to eat due to the texture of the steak. Their chips tasted fresh and homemade. Verdict I'll be back, but I'll stick to the chicken next time. read more

I've been to a few La Parrilla locations.. this one is my favorite! It is the best one in my opinion. Food just tastes better here. The bartender Jonathan is always in a good mood, smiling, funny and just an awesome person to be around. The bar has a nice chill vibe with TVs (we've sat in the restaurant area as well but prefer the bar) Food is consistent and prices are reasonable. I've gotten the chimichanga, tacos, taco salad, queso, burrito.. all tasted great! Only taking one star off due to the high price for alcohol. read more
