202606201640 20 minute wait. Busy parking. Friendly service, festive atmosphere, good drinks, good food. Clean restaurant & restrooms. Couple order issues; little to no cheese on nachos & cheese, no guacamole, but guacamole still comes. Outside of that, very good. read more

I've been to La Parrilla in Pooler four times now--three times dining in and most recently ordering takeout. First, the food is damn good. I'm from California and I know good Mexican food, and the kitchen here absolutely delivers. Every meal I've had has been excellent. Honestly, the food is the only reason I've continued coming back. Unfortunately, the service is unbelievably bad, and after four visits I can't call it a bad night anymore. Every time I've eaten inside, we were seated almost immediately and then basically forgotten about. It has taken 20-30 minutes just to get drinks, and one time we waited around 45 minutes before we could even place our food order. The restaurant wasn't slammed either. The strangest part is that nobody seems willing to help unless your table is specifically in their section. I've asked other employees for help and literally been told, "That's not my section." Meanwhile, they'll walk right past empty glasses without helping. Refills are almost nonexistent even after asking multiple times. They have also managed to get my drink wrong every single time. I ordered unsweetened tea and received Pepsi, then sweet tea, and eventually water. It became ridiculous. I thought maybe takeout would solve the service problem. Nope. My order was supposed to be ready at 6:14 PM. I didn't get it until 6:35. Nobody was even working the takeout counter when I arrived. Another customer who was also waiting finally had to go find someone. When an employee eventually came over, I gave them my name. They repeated my name back to me and told me my food wasn't ready. The problem? I could literally see the bag sitting there with my name clearly on it. Four visits. Three dine-in experiences and now a takeout experience. The service has been consistently terrible every single time. The kitchen deserves a ton of credit because the food really is excellent. But whoever is managing the front of the restaurant seriously needs to fix the service. 5 stars for the food. 1 star for the service. 2 stars overall. read more

Classic Mexican with a Cuban feel. The Maduro appetizer is to die for. My partner and i sat at the bar and the ladies were swamped but still managed to give us top tier service. We shared the Cubano bowl and two classic ground beef tacos. I cannot state how delicious this food was. Fresh. Hot. Amazing. Do yourself a favor and stop in. And sit at the bar for the best servers here. Hot. Flavorful. If you're in the area you will NOT be disappointed. read more

We stopped in for dinner around 730pm on a Tuesday evening. The wait was about 15 minutes long so not bad considering the location. The service was very slow and the food was average. The bar looked like fun and I might venture back to sit at the bar, watch a ball game and have a few margaritas. read more

The birria quesadilla was hands down the best I've ever had--crispy tortilla, perfectly melted cheese, and incredibly tender, flavorful birria. The rich consommé took it to the next level. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Our server was friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Amazing food, great service, and absolutely worth a visit. read more

So good!! Stopped in for lunch while my parents were in town and sad that I haven't come here sooner! Service was fast, layout of the restaurant was great and will a million tables that were more than half full, it didn't seem overcrowded. Food was delicious!! I had the pulled chicken bowl and it was huge! Way too much for me for lunch but had I not been heading out after, would have made a great leftover lunch as well. My mom had the veggie quesadilla and it was beyond packed with veggies and she loved it. Dad got the taquitos and loved those! Looking forward to the next visit already! read more

This place was above and beyond the normal Mexican restaurant. While it's in a busy area, we got seated right away and our waitress, Edith was AMAZING. I got a strawberry daiquiri, which was delicious and a combo plate. They don't skimp on food and you actually get your moneys worth. Their sweet tea was perfect, everything was fresh and hot and affordable. The restaurant is nice because it's up to date and not dark inside and red brick everywhere. It's got a cute little porch area too. The ambiance overall is really cool. Easily one of my new favorite Mexican restaurants in the area. read more

Food was great.,Service was great. Ambiance was ok. Price was too high. BUT THE DRINK WAS WATERED DOWN BY MORE THAN HALF!!!!!!!!!!!! Amaretto......prob an ounce on the rocks with 5 ounces of water and ice added. I was hugely disappointed. But I didn't speak to establishment, It's not a one-off. It's a pattern. And covering MY drink for me won't impact a pattern. So, BUYER BEWARE. read more

Stopped by for lunch during the week. The restaurant is huge, with lots of seating and very modern. We were sat quickly and within minutes chips and salsa arrived. They have a lunch menu with lots of options. I got the mango chicken with rice and plantains. It was yummy, I'd have it again. My friend got the beef nachos and really enjoyed them! Their prices are slightly higher than some of the other Mexican restaurants in the area. read more

10 open tables waiting time 20-25 mins. This place obviously can't function properly. Must be poorl staffed.

A group of 4 went Saturday night. This was my first time going here and it won't be the last. We sat at the bar and watched the NFL games. Got there around 5. Service was great and friendly. I had the Cubano bowl (Shredded brisket (seasoned with Pico de Gallo ans Salsa Ranchera), plantains, black beans, white rice, pico de gallo, guacamole, chipotle mayonnaise, cilantro and diced onions.). Absolutely perfect in every way! Super delicious, hot, fresh, and perfect portion size! read more

La Parrilla has officially packed up from its longtime home in the Oglethorpe Mall and set up shop at the Tanger Outlets in Pooler. It's definitely an upgrade in terms of space--more room, more seating, and a fresher vibe overall. That said, I'll admit I do miss the old location... although, with everything that's been going down at Oglethorpe lately (including a recent shootout, yikes), maybe the move was a blessing in disguise. Let's talk food. I ordered the Taquitos Tradicionales, which are basically crispy flautas bathed in salsa verde, topped with queso and a bright pico de gallo. It's a messy, cheesy, satisfying kind of dish. My kids got a chicken quesadilla and the classic chicken tenders with fries--because let's be honest, no one does chicken tenders better than a Mexican restaurant, and this place proves that rule once again. Of course, we had to start with the queso. As a Texan, I'm legally required to judge all queso against the gold standard back home. It's not elite Tex-Mex queso, but it's solid, creamy, and does the job when you're scooping it up with chips and a side of nostalgia. Is it the best Mexican food I've ever had? No. But it is consistently good, well-priced, and backed by genuinely friendly, efficient service. And these days, that's more than enough to keep me coming back. Yes, it's now a 20-minute drive for me--but I'll happily make the trip. Reliable, family-friendly, and just enough flavor to hit the spot. ¡Nos vemos pronto, La Parrilla! read more

I'm back and Medina was our server this afternoon, she rocks! The ambiance was great on this beautiful Saturday afternoon. Our food was delivered hot and delicious, there wasn't a wait, and the drinks were delicious. I had taquitos today, they flavorful, crisp and I'll be ordering them again. read more

When we arrived, we waited over 20 minutes for someone -- anyone -- to come to our table. No water, no drinks, no chips, no service. Not to mention, it was 8:30 pm on a Wednesday night, and the restaurant wasn't busy. As a result, we got up and went to Jalapeños across the street. Best decision ever! read more

Went with my wife and the music was very loud, like being in a night club. We had to yell at one another to talk, not very pleasant. Food was meh, much better options available. Service was ok, but between the loud music and not so great food I won't be returning. read more

Y'all know what it is: this is the same ole La Parillia you know and love from the Oglethorpe Mall transplanted and revived to new life in Pooler at the Tanger outlets. The old location was very popular and always served good food, why they didn't just open a second location is beyond me. It was nice to give the new location a try tonight though. Ambiance: This place was looking really good and is being kept well cleaned. The layout and decor give it a modern feel and a cool vibe. There is a sizable bar area, plenty of seating, lots of flat screen t.v.'s, and a fireplace. Everyone in my party remarked about how much they liked the new look. Service: The servers seemed stretched thin to be honest. We waited quite a while to be greeted and even longer for the chips-which came out right before our food. Even giving that there were no missteps by the waitstaff and we were satisfied with the accuracy of our orders. Food: I was in the mood for some seafood and decided to depart from the usual chicken milinase and sprung for the smothered shrimp. I've got to be honest the shrimp didn't taste very good there was no sear or grill to them like they were simply steamed or heated up. My brother said the same about his shrimp tacos. The non seafood items were really good and my other guest loved the Enchiladas and steak fajita rice. As always the aquas Fresca's were a must get and turned out great! Overall: A good addition to the Pooler food scene with a nice trendy new interior and plenty of screens to watch your favorite game. The Aqua Frescas (fruit smoothies) are great and so is the food (minus the seafood). I'll be back soon! read more

We saw La Padilla open for business and paid a visit! We chose to not wait for a table and ate at the bar. Location looks terrific. A few kinks still need to be worked out (several bar patrons had to ask for silverware and the check a few times), but I'm certain that will happen with ongoing training. Four was very good, and we enjoyed it. read more

We came to this location to try it out since the other location in Savannah we used to go to closed. We came on a Saturday and there was a small waiting but luckily we didn't have to wait longer. We ordered the "Guava Margarita on the rocks" which was really refreshing and delicious. For an appetizer we ordered the "La Parrila Dip"that was as usual delicious and full of flavors. I ordered the "Burrito Cubano" which was delicious however it didn't have the small pieces of maduros that I've had with the Burrito in the several other La Parrilla locations we've visited. I must say that was surprising and a little disappointing to me. My partner ordered the "Burrito con Todo" and he was pleased with its flavors. The restaurant was busy but people were being taken to their tables quite fast I must say. The music was not too loud & it was pleasant. Whenever we are back in Pooler we will come back & hopefully then the maduros will be included in the Burrito Cubano accordingly. read more

The new location is cute and lively! The waiter Erick that I had was really friendly and made me feel welcomed. The food was okay, not too flavorful, and the strawberry margarita was just meh. I didn't feel like the food or drinks were really authentic or my cup of tea compared to other places in the area. read more

The food was excellent. I got the chicken salad and it was delicious and packed full of chicken, toppings. The tableside guacamole was fresh and delicious. I really enjoyed that. I will definitely be back to try the other items on the menu. read more

Pretty disappointed. I was excited when La Parrilla opened and thought it would have been at least decent. The decor was great, the place was clean, and service was ok. However, the food was beyond subpar. Nothing has flavor or spice at all. Everything is so bland. Steak is chewy and flavorless. Queso was fine. Guac was good. Overall 2 or 1 star visit. I was astonished when we got the bill as well for the quality of food. Tastes like nothing is made in house! Update: plastic found in my daughter's leftovers she brought home. Reduced to 1 star. read more

First of all this was amazing service from Micheal who suggested Tinga tacos and the Cubano bowl. They were enjoyable with complex flavors easy on the palate. The chips free always hot when they hit your table. We had Guacamole and queso small samples. The guacamole was hearty and fresh. The queso warm and creamy. I also had Agua Fresca mango that was so thick and it lasted the entirety of my meal. Most of all the staff had great energy and warm smiles matching the perfect ambiance. For date night with my girl! read more

My wife and I went here for dinner. I ordered the Texas Fajita, steak, chicken, shrimp combo. Wife ordered the Tilapia and Shrimp. Order arrived and that was the very last time we saw our waitress. Never came back to ask if everything was satisfactory. No refills on our water, no nothing! Back to the food....Fajita was not only over cooked but it had no flavor. Tilapia served hot, side of "Mexican" mashed potatoes were cold and tasteless. Nothing worth the $55.00 without drinks or appetizers. Seen us for the last time. Save your money and patronize an authentic Mexican restaurant. read more
