La Parrilla Mexican Restaurant

La Parilla is my favorite restaurant in town! I’m not the biggest piña colada fan but theirs is amazing! That and the taco loco are great!

May 11, here @1130am for discount beer Wednesday!
Of course, no Miller light again. This is a sign from God !

Short pouring drinks… I ordered a Patron margarita and watched it made. The BT gave it a 2 second pour of Patron… ½oz of Tequila in a $ 9 drink… A std pour is 5 – 6 seconds and 1.25 to 1.5 ounces. I asked the bartender how much patron was in my drink. She said a full shot… i asked how do you get a full shot from a 2 second pour? and she just smiled and walked off. SMH, the last mixed drink i ever order here…

Great chips and salsa… excellent red sangria! Our large group of 8 waited only 25 mins on a Saturday night! Excellent pork carnitas!

Ever walk into a place and just know that you’re going to enjoy yourself? Well, I did today.
I was extremely excited for the outdoor seating, maybe that’s just because I am from Chicago and can’t enjoy things like this? Who knows. All I know is that it was glorious.
Our waiter, hands down the best waiter ever. Jeff is quick, funny and so very awesome at what he does. I’m pretty upset that the manager asked the table next to us how their visit was and not us because he needed to hear that he’s got a great person working there.
The food was also awesome, the guac was mixed right in front of us which made me so happy since I knew exactly what went into it. Fajitas were also great!
I have high standards for food and even higher standards for service. Even if I didn’t think the food was that great, I would come back because of the competency of the staff.
Thanks La Parilla! I’m coming back for margs next time.

This location used to be my favorite, but the last couple of times I’ve been underwhelmed. I like booths and when it’s just two of us, should be simple if the place isn’t busy. But no, the reservation desk lady usually tries to sit us at a table right behind large groups with crying children. The food is normally very good, but this time no. The Monterey chicken salad was not good. No cheese and overall, not even close to the quality they normally serve. At $ 9.99, I expect better.

One of the worst, save your money and get your appetite filled somewhere else. Plenty of Mexican joints around and the taco trucks kick butt compared to this place.
I had a Drink spilled on Me (sticky Margarita) Moved us to another table and i washed up, I had a good attitude and accepted the apology, but then my order was wrong all together. look bad days come and i still sucked it up, figured i can grab a bite later but when my fiancé tasted her correct meal after mine went back, She ate the lettuce and that’s it. They asked her if she wanted a to go box and she commented no thank you.
They Gave me the bill and comped me for the spilled drink (Duh) then the bill was wrong charging me for 2 entrees of the same plus the one of mine that was wrong.
Forget about this place…

Slow service. Ordered queso, when it came out we didn’t have chips and salsa, 10 mins later we got the chips and salsa, I sent the case so back for one that wasn’t cold. Food took a long time to come out. When our order finally came, the Tacos de Asada was cold, and the tortillas were soggy. If this was a one time thing I would let it go, but our last experience here was similar. We will not be back.

I was starting to think they thought I wrote restaurant reviews. The service was great. If our waitress wasn’t available, the Manager stepped in. Even got free desert. Will definitely visit again.

The food is ok but not the typical La Parilla However the service is so terrible I won’t ever go back to this one. I’ll drive to Townlake. The Canton location is the worst I’ve ever been too. The wait was long & there was at least 6+ tables open. The manager was too busy singing with the band to even notice any issues.

I’ve been to this location twice in the last week. The first time with a friend for a late lunch. The second time, I met my husband for lunch just after noon. The food was ok, but the service is terrible. Both times it wasn’t busy, but it took a long time for anyone to even come by to take a drink order. The staff clearly has no respect for the management. They stand looking at their phones between rare visits to the table. During the first visit, someone sitting at an adjacent table was obviously a friend of some of the staff. They were sitting at the table and talking instead of taking care of their customers. I won’t go back to this locations. Others have much better service.

We came here for dinner with a party of eight. We waiter was nice and infirmed us that it was his first day. The black bean burrito at the Towne Lake location is always better. They sang happy birthday to my son and they did a great job.

Great service! Great food! Great atmosphere! Salsa is best around in Georgia! Always love their white queso with soft tortillas (we ask for soft tortillas, they do not come with queso) enchiladas, fajitas, tacos, are all great! Great place to take friends!

Love La Parrilla. Their chicken soup is to die for, and their fajitas/​fajita salads are very good. The décor is typical and upscale for TexMex. The service has always been good. Great marg’s and good beer selection.

Far and away one of the best Mexican Restaurants in the Canton area. Great Food, Great Atmosphere, and the wait staff knows how to be ever present without feeling so or being ‘stalkers’ to move your table along. Highly Recommend.

Our waitress disappeared for most of our meal we had to ask the manager for refills. It was obvious that she didn’t want to be there and she didn’t care about us it’s pretty frustrating considering that we had questions about the menu. We really like to Town Lake location so the fact that this one was so bad is disappointing. The food was okay but it wasn’t anything special I really feel like we won’t be coming back. We’re having a really hard time finding good Mexican in Canton Georgia.

Nasty. Chimichangas were more like a rolled burrito, not crispy at all. Salsa taste like it from canned tomatoes.

As usual I have to be the guy that rains on the chain parade. I am going to preface this review with one simple idea, «The reason I go out to eat is not just for convenience but also to put something in my mouth that I can’t make better at home (other than delivery pizza).»
That being said, onto the review.
Ambiance: The place looks clean on the inside for a señor frogs type joint. Lots of mexican «flare», so colorful walls with a mural or two, some signs, and the obligatory inflatable mexican beer bottle advertisement hanging from the ceiling. Viva comercialismo!
They do have a patio, so I guess that is a good thing.
Service: No complaints here. Guy we had was fantastic and attentive. One of the hostesses was a little less than enthusiastic, but the other one seated us so I don’t really care.
Menu: Exceptionally large, which either means they are good at everything, or the master of nothing.
Beer: Negra Modelo on tap! (Except the night that I am there.)
Food:
The food generally sucks. I can see how a lot of people would enjoy it, it is full of sugar, salt and fat. Unfortunately they are not in any way shape or form the right amount of each.
Chips and salsa (complimentary): So the chips are the fantastic restaurant style chips. They are thin, crispy and warm. Best part of the meal!!!
Salsa tasted like a slightly fresher version of shrimp cocktail sauce with onions being substituted for the horseradish. Honest to god, it tasted more like ketchup than it did salsa. Never before have I experienced that in my life.
Fish tacos: These were recommended by the waiter. Fried tilapia, with the classic cole slaw. When my 5 year old and 3 year old daughter both turn to me and say the fish tastes «yucky» I was slightly confused. Then I took a bite for myself and they were right. Before I said anything to her, I asked the 5 year old what was wrong with the fish, she said it was «mushy.» She was right, just a bunch of mushy fish inside some breading.
Cole slaw was bland other than the taste of salt, just some cabbage and mayo.
Less than stellar.
Fajita Nachos (beef): Again, the best part of this meal was the chips, there were chips in this dish so it wasn’t horrible. Meat wasn’t «fresh from the cow». Tried to mask it with the old salty fajita marinade but no luck.
Enchilada Del Mar: Shrimp a bit salty, best part of the dish other than the mounds of cheese they put on their to cover up their horrible fish again.
Summary:
Hey, if you like it take the family, or even some friends. Taste is subjective!
The good news though is that if you think you «eat with your eyes», there is no better place in Atlanta for presentation when it comes to standard Tex-​mexican fare.
Be prepared to pay a premium for the ambiance and presentation. Everything they put out of their kitchen we can make better at home.
Sticking with the local authentic Taqueria’s still, not going back.
(Per my scale all chains can only get a 3 unless they are exceptional.)

In the sea of Mexican joints, La Parilla floats to the top with an updated, contemporary look and menu. Right away, La Parilla impressed me with what appears to be an «non traditional» approach to the definition of a typical Mexican restaurant. Everything from it’s deep menu that serves the vegetarian crowd to the bilingual staff that is exceptionally nice and helpful. Sure the food is not the best in this cuisine; however, it is fresh, above average presentation and fairly tasty.
For the Canton area, this IS the place to go when you crave Mexican.

Nice ambiance but the Chicken Soup is OK, not the best! But it’ll do! :-(
Can’t comment on their other stuff because all I had was the Chicken Soup.
