I stumbled upon this place when my parents wanted to try out Mexican food. Knowing that there's a…read morelot of options, I wanted to try out something that I've never had before. Knowing that this place isn't too far, and it's on BuHi, we came to visit. There was plenty of seating when we came here and we were welcomed. As usual, we were given chips with salsa. For appetizers we also ordered guacamole. The guac wasn't your usual salty, they used the cheese to bring out the salt content. Every dish we ordered was seasoned very well. Overall, I thought Amealco was great. I would definitely recommend anyone to come here and eat. The Al pastor was great and it was flavored super well. The service was great as well.

Very happy with this amazing find! We LOVE the aguachille shrimp- amazing flavor, very complex…read more Allspice? Soooo good! The guac adds queso for body- yum. Love love love the Mescalita de Jamaica! This time I tried the alahmbras pastor - so good!

So this gives an initial impression of a Mexican restaurant but I found it more colombian. The…read morerestaurant is not super big, tables are bench style, which is not my favorite but it's cute and bright. Parking is a also little awkward. The food itself is a small buffet but has great options which I find they change every so often. They also have a Brazilian steakhouse vibe with the sliced meat off skewers but you have to go up to the meat bar and choose there. For drinks, same concept, it is unlimited but you have to go up to the the lady at the fountain. The food is delicious and the price is fantastic. Definitely worth a visit!

JA thought this place was incredible and JO rates it a 3.5/5. Someone who likes a lot of meat would love it. The beef was flavorful & it was nice to go and get it rather than wait for a server to come around. The young lady coming around to clear the plates was a little slow and we had to go to the register to ask for more water, but it's a cute place with plenty of seating.

Chips and salsa came and the salsa spicy and good. The bartenders name was Maria Gabriela and she was friendly and personable. I got a strawberry margarita and my husband a Pacifico on tap. The margarita was delicious and refreshing made to order. (Didn't come out a pre mixed machine). I ordered the enchiladas verdes it came with rice and beans. My husband ordered the chorizo sopas. The food came out fast very fast! I was nervous how fast it came thinking it was pre cooked. It was not. The food was phenomenal tradition Mexican. The spices and sauces used were amazing. We had enough to take home and have it for a second dinner while we were in town. Seating inside and outside. On the back deck people were enjoying food and it was dog friendly. We would 100% recommend.

It was a CROWDED Friday night at The Forum and LaParilla was BUSY. Nonetheless, we were promptly seated. We ordered an assortment of items across the five of us, Guac, wings, chimichanga, shrimp tacos, veggie fajitas, seasoned fries, plantain and a quesadilla. I only tried the guac, fries, veggie fajitas, one margarita and plantain. My food was just okay. But everyone else seemed as to enjoy their meal. Perhaps, better suited for meat-lover options. Contrary to the name, the fries weren't seasoned at all. The plantain were PERFECT. The veggie fajitas were bland and I'm not sure why tomatoes were added. BUT the rice and black beans were delicious. Again, this place is probably best suited for drinks, and meat-based meals. If you're into a crowded spot with a range of Mexican inspired options, this is your place.

Traveled here to see my friends, we met in the middle, this was my 1st time at this location. Ive…read morebeen to another location and the franchises is pretty consistent. Food was just perfect. We started off with table guacamole, queso dip. I ordered my usual Mexican pizza with one side beef taco and for the first time I got to see their bowls that look delicious. I definitely will try that the next time our server was Diego and he was amazing. The atmosphere is pretty loud, but it is a great place to meet for drinks or for food or both. They do have a nice size bar at this location.

Probably the worst Mexican I have ever had! We walked in at…read more5:30 and were the only ones in the place. We thought maybe it was just too early. At 7:30 when we left the door never opened. We had to order chips and salsa, only to find out you pay for them. And for each basket of chips. My Co worker ordered queso for himself but when they split the check, without asking she split the question between the 3 of us. I ordered street tacos. It comes with 4 plus beans and rice. Normally this is meat with almost no juice, corn tortillas with cilantro and onions. When i picked up the first one water/ juice poured out of it, the second had so much it fell apart at the fold when I picked it up. The beans and rice were little more than a tablespoon each. When I asked for my drink to be refilled she made no apology about having just poured it out. I mean we were the only ones there, keep up. There appear to be a lot of Mexican places around. Try something else.

I can't speak on service or ambiance since a fellow coworker picked it up for us, but the food was great! I got the enchiladas (corn tortillas rolled with shredded chicken and covered with a chili pepper sauce and topped with cream and queso fresco). It had very authentic flavors shining through. Loved it! I also enjoyed chips with a few different salsa/hot sauce options. One of my favorites was the salsa de chile de árbol. Delicious!
