I loved everything about this restaurant the food the music and the service was great. Simon Parrilla Bar and Grill offers a lively Colombian dining experience that was a hit for me and my friends. Everyone enjoyed the authentic dishes like empanadas, and plantains, along with generous portions and a vibrant nightlife atmosphere featuring music, dancing, and karaoke. read more

Simone Parrilla is one of my favorite spots for Colombian food. Walking in here immediately gives you those country Colombian vibes, and it just feels so welcoming. I've been a few times now, and the portions are generous, enough to feed two people, or if you're really hungry, it's plenty for one. The staff is super friendly, and the place can get busy, especially on weekends when they have music at night. I love that it brings such a fun party vibe, and you don't have to pay extra for the entertainment while you eat like at other places it is also kids friendly. They serve traditional Colombian breakfast all day (or until they run out), and everything I've tried is really tasty. They also have natural juices, which is always a plus. Prices range from $$-$$$, but honestly, it's worth it for the experience. I highly recommend this place, especially if you're feeling adventurous and aren't Colombian, it's a great way to get a real taste of Colombia! read more

We had lunch here for Mother's Day and overall enjoyed the food. However, menu was very limited so there were not many options to choose from. We were also charged $9 for water; our server stated that the water pipes were not working which we thought was unusual. The restaurant could benefit from some upgrades and general maintenance as well. All the tables and chairs were peeling paint and the floors appear very worn out. read more

Simon Parilla has some of the BEST arepas I have tasted aside from my Mother-in-law. They truly bring the Colombian flavor to its patrons. Every bite was delcious and never lacked flavor. The decor outside and inside was gorgeous. The service was outstanding, always attentive and catered to every need. This restaurant doesnt disappoint. Towards the end of the night, this place switches to a nightclub for all the dancers out there. Who doesnt love good food then dancing? read more

Came to have lunch on Mothers Day right when it opened. It looks like outside they were setting up to have a bounce house and they had balloons outside and they were still setting up inside. The inside is a bit run down and old looking, tables and chairs chipped and paint peeling. Looks like it needs a little maintenance. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. Menu was very limited and that's understandable as it tends to be a busy day. Ordered water and was not advised there is a charge for the waters ($3 per bottle). I had the pandeja paisa and it was a good portion but feel it was lacking a little flavor. Also ordered a Simon's picada which is a shareable platter for 4 people. That one was very disappointing. It was mostly potatoes, yucca fries and plantains. Not to mention the meat was burnt, hard, and flavorless,the chicken was dry with no flavor. Not sure if it was old meat and chicken or maybe it had been sitting there (which it shouldn't be since we arrived right when they opened). But it was not enjoyable. read more

What a great find! Located across the street from The Florida Mall, I ended up there because I wanted to eat at a local restaurant and not Mall food. There was some kind of event going on inside the restaurant so I was able to get a table outside on their patio. Luckily the weather was perfect, so sitting outside was a nice treat. The patio and all tables were clean and my server came over to me within a minute or so and helped me a bit with the menu and my decision. I ended up ordering the Bandeja Paisa, which was an AWESOME serving of a platter of deliciousness, An authentic plate from the central colombian area. A generous portion of the dish included: grilled steak, colombian sausage, fried pork rinds, fried eggs, sweet plantains, corn breed. red beans, white rice and avocado. Along with an ice cold Modelo, happiness was upon me!! This place is now on my "list" and I will be back!!! read more

The atmosphere of this place at night is entertaining and lively. They play good music and sometimes they have karaoke. We randomly stopped in on our way home from a trip. My husband was craving a good Parrilla with The picanha, which is just top sirloin cap cut of steak. But its our favorite to order. We ordered the Picada de la casa for two and it came with a lot of food. It had Pork, chicken, chorizo, and Picanha. All the meats were flavorful, but some pieces tasted a little too dry for our liking but over all was a great pick for the price and probably could have served three people. They also have a bigger option for 4 people to share. It also came with a couple different sides. We got little roasted potatoes, arepas, fried yucca, and tostones. Also a great tip make sure to order the Chimichurri sauce for the steak or anything because its so delicious. The sauce is made of fresh herbs, garlic, olive oil, and vinegar. I ordered the house margarita because they were having a certain happy hour. But it was way too citrusy and watered down. So I recommend trying something else because they have many other options on the menu. Overall, cool place to hang out for a chill night out with good music! read more

The food was a great deal. The bandeja is plenty for 4 adults and we had leftovers. The cocktails weren't the best as they were packed full of sugar. There is plenty of seating and the atmosphere was lively. read more

The ambience at this restaurant is really nice--good music and an overall pleasant vibe. The food was also good. I ordered the paisa platter, which came with four items: steak, eggs, white rice, beans, and sausage. Everything was perfectly cooked and the portion could definitely be shared. I also had two drinks: a coconut limeade and a natural mango juice--both were refreshing and flavorful. What stood out (in both good and not-so-great ways) was the service. Our waitress shot out to Sergio!! was clearly doing the job of multiple people, bouncing between waitressing and bartending, while the rest of the staff seemed disengaged. We weren't greeted when we came in, and we didn't even get a "thank you" or "have a good day" on our way out. Overall, great food and atmosphere--but the service and friendliness of the staff could use some improvement. read more

The food was honestly really good, and the music gave the place a nice vibe. But the service just didn't sit right with me. We weren't even greeted when we walked in, and no one said "have a nice day" when we left. It felt like only two people were actually working while the rest just stood around talking to each other, leaning on the walls. I get that it wasn't super busy, but a little acknowledgment goes a long way. It kind of took away from an otherwise good experience. Sergio was great, he was carrying most of the load-- working the bar, and serving us. Shoutout to him! read more

Food was good, Service needs improvement. - This is one of my favorite restaurants when I visit Colombia. Food was just as good but either the restaurant is too big, too wide to handle ( which i ll be surprise bc the ones in Colombia as as that big) or they were under staff. My server and other servers walked by my table and always avoided eye contact with us unless they were coming to deliver a plate. Once that was done, no follow up or checking on us. Even to close us out i had to chase a manager to get the bill delivered and still waited 10 mins and chased a server to close out my tab. They need to work on customer service and train people specially if must of their staff are very young employees. -Other than that, food was super tasty, generous portions and drinks were really good. -Ambiance was super nice, with good background music and beautiful decoration. read more

We went here to celebrate a friend's birthday. They were able to accommodate our large group of 14 adults within an hour's notice. When we arrived, we were promptly seated outdoors. The inside is spacious with lots of seating and they had live music playing inside that day. The outside patio had a dj playing reggaeton music. The drinks were strong and promptly served. As for the food, it was delicious. My Colombian friend approved and she is very selective about Colombian food in the area. The service for food was a bit slow but somewhat expected with the size of our group. 2 of my friends ordered the fried fish. The presentation of the Mojarra Frita was impressive as it was skewered on a stand as if it was swimming above your plate. It was served with rice, plantains and a side salad. Cue the song lyrics, "But First Let Me Take a Selfie!". After the photo worthy pics were done, kissing their fish, they proceeded to devour it, face and all. Another friend ordered the grilled chicken breast. The same sides were served with this dish as well. She ate the chicken and seemed to enjoy it. Personally, I would have ordered it with some sort of creamy garlic sauce, which they do offer. It was served very plain with no sauce. The empanadas only came with beef. They were large and had a generous amount of a beef and potato filling. Perfectly fried and served with 2 sauces. They were delicious. Since I couldn't decide on what I wanted, I went with the Bandeja Paisa. This provides a variety of a few meats, along with the usual sides. It was served with a nicely seasoned tender steak, cooked to your desired temperature. It also came with a Colombian Chorizo sausage and fried pork rinds for the meat. All excellent. For the sides, it came with plantains, rice, beans and an arepita. The rice was some of the best tasting rice I have had in a while. It was perfectly cooked, seasoned with salt and I believe butter. A fried egg was placed on top. I only wish the egg was runny, although some may have preferred it cooked this way. The beans were also very good. I would definitely come back to this place to enjoy the music and great food. read more

We ordered the churrasco steak. It came with beans in a small bowl, rice, plantains, and a small pot of chimichuri and one of a spicy salsa. The steak was a good size, plenty for one, and was excellent... very tender and juicy. The beans had a different flavor than mexican dishes and were also good. We really enjoyed our meal and great service. read more

Omg omg how do I even start...this is my second time here. And I only came here because a friend of mine was having a birthday celebration. First the waitress that we had looked very annoyed with us, which I didn't like. We'll talk about that later...Anyways my friend he ordered two trays of Simon's Picada and 2 buckets of corona beer and 1 glass sangria. His friend ordered 1 more bucket of beers after the two buckets were done. All together we had 3 buckets of beer. I ordered one can of soda which I paid separate. The Picada was ok the meat was bit tough and the sausages was over cooked. The chicken was good though. But the food actually got cold very fast. I don't know why. ( but when the waitress brought it, it wasn't very hot either.) we sat outside and they were playing soccer game on the big screen tv . While that was being played the DJ was playing music so so loud we couldn't even have a conversation with person next to you. So we are ready to leave and I'm paying for my soda which was $3.75 for 1 can of soda....then the waitress told my husband that he had to pay for 1 bucket of beer that he never even ordered. Everybody on our table, which was 10 of us. All said we had three buckets of beers not four..she insisted on saying that we ordered four buckets of beer.. first she didn't come to our table to ask if we needed anything. She didn't ask if we wanted water. She was walking around and I had to ask several of other waitresses to get us things. It just was a hot mess! I was very disappointed in that place and I don't think I'll be coming there again. I would definitely NOT recommend this place. It was entirely too many people cramped inside. There was not enough servers there and they were just literally running around. Over all the place was too dark.( when you first you walk in) The music was way too loud, and the service was subpar. And the food was mediocre. The fact that they try to charge us for something we didn't purchase it so unacceptable and classless. Please please check you bill before leaving make sure you are not charge twice . This is just my opinion and my review of the establishment. read more

The food was excellent, the music was good, the alcoholic drinks were good but the service wasn't good. I had to get up and look for our server 4 times (including the time we wanted to pay) she literally only came to take the order and never checked on us ever again. We spend $163 and would had left a good tip had the service been good but she wasn't good at all. We have come here other times and had never had bad service until today. read more

Went yesterday, I was happy with my dish (typical bandeja). The part that was not great was that my aunt ordered a chicken salad, and it didn't come until I was almost done with my bandeja. We asked why did it take so long when everyone else's food came out already and the reply was because chicken takes longer to cook then the meat on the bandeja. My mom said that can't be and the waitress replied well then send the chicken salad back to the kitchen. That rudeness was so disrespectful.lol after my aunt was waiting for so long and had to watch us eat our meals now she's going to be like yea take my dish away. read more

My husband is Colombian so we're always trying to find some great places to try in our area. We came here for a birthday dinner and I was surprised at how empty it was, even for a Monday.

Also our server charged us for our extra order of tostones that we never received. Overall was a great experience and we will definitely be back read more

I gave one start to make this review. The worse event ever! They announce a live event charged a lot of money for it and 4 hours later of the event have not bring the musician. Para los que no saben inglés. Este mensaje es para que no asistan a los eventos aquí. Cobran muchísimo dinero de entrada y las bebidas y los músicos 3 horas después no han venido a tocar ni uno de los que prometieron. El peor lugar! Jamás vuelco. Es una vergüenza...... read more

It was a huge place, unfortunately because of COVID it was empty, one table was being served. The place is huge and at night or certain nights they do live band and there was plenty of seating. The menu was shrunk due to COVID and you would think the food would come out perfect but unfortunately it had no seasoning or taste, but everything was cooked on point just no taste . You'd think being slow and only the second table there the food come out perfect. The chairs were so uncomfortable I felt like I was sitting on springs and white folks cooked my food . The only thing good was the sweet plantains. read more
