La Parrilla

The chips are nasty – stale and sick. The atmosphere is nice. One diner at my table gave it a 9 for décor… however we gave it a 5 for taste. The cokes were tasty. Margaritas. Check. Good, eh. Fajitas overcooked. Must I continue?

La Parilla is always packed because this place serves the most delicious and inexpensive dishes of Mexican cuisine. I really enjoy their shredded chicken quesadillas and queso. There is always a wait but once you’re seated, the food comes out hot and quickly. Shout out to the bartender for making one of the best margaritas I’ve ever had! They know their margaritas!

This place has the best Mexican food and cheese dip. The only thing I dislike is that there is always a wait. But I pass many other Mexican restaurants just to come here.

Fast service, really good food. I recommend the Fish Taco’s or Salmon Salad. Never had a bad meal here. Always run into people I know here, it’s a West Cobb staple if you live on this side of town.

One of my favorite spots to eat. I usually get the chimichanga or the fish tacos. Staff is great. The only downside is they are usually packed but that comes when a restaurant is doing things right.

Great food and drinks! Always busy and the live music on Fridays is great! David G is awesome!

You will leave smelling like a taco. The worst ventilation of any of the LPs I have visited. Solid Mexican fare designed for the gringo palate. Far from authentic. Had to laugh at the reviewer below who wanted a discount. They don’t do discounts — no matter how upset you are. These people are business savvy and will fight you over a peso.

This place has a very warm atmosphere. The wait staff are very nice and polite. The food is very savory and smells delicious.

I ate at La Parrilla on Saturday for dinner (Dallas Hwy location) and it was absolutely wonderful! Our server was Jenny, the service was excellent and the food was so fresh! The manager, Juan, made a stop by our table to make sure we were enjoying everything and to see if there is anything he could do for us. He was very nice and welcoming, it was very thoughtful! The food, service, and atmosphere were excellent! I will definitely be back!

Loud on the weekend with the live entertainment. Love it during the week when it’s quiet

Last Sunday I visited the La Parilla at Dallas Hwy and everything was wonderful. I have had many trips to the Alpharetta location and they are usually mediocre at best. Tonight my expectations were exceeded. I was greeted immediately by a friendly hostess and took a seat at the bar. Shorty after a fresh basket of delicious complimentary chips and salsa were brought. Joel the bartender was extremely friendly and made a delicious skinny margarita. The manager Juan was so warm and approachable. He stopped by and asked if I needed anything and made sure I was enjoying myself. A manager has never stopped by on my previous visits at the other location and it was a nice touch. My salad (primavera) was delicious and fresh and came out pretty quickly. Overall it was a very successful experience and I can’t wait to come back!

Never again! Wife and I have gone there for the final time. Martha was our server. 2 tables get their food before ours and 1 was a 7 top?!? And yes the 7 top got there 15 mins after we had sat down! As soon as the 7 top was served I was ready to jet. If they hadn’t have blocked my wife in to serve the other table their food we would have just gotten up and left. Our food was out right behind the 7 top and the waitress came over to see what was the problem. We spoke up about getting a discount for having to wait for over 30 mins and seeing two tables eat their food before we had even gotten anything. Martha said «well I’ll check with my manager to see if she wants to do anything». After handing me the check I look at her and ask why is there not a discount on the check? She states with a smug little smile «she apparently didn’t want to discount it» and walks away… The manager never made an appearance to our table to see what the problem was or anything. That’s ok young lady, keep smiling and enjoy tip I left you. Nothing! I promise you will never see us again. If you like going and getting taken advantage of with high prices be my guest. I’ll keep going back to the other Mexican restaurant down the street called 3 Amigos!

I really love mexican food and got spoiled in California because there is so much of it around. La Parrilla is the most popular mexican restaurant in our area and for the most part it’s pretty good. Not as flavorful and authentic as I’d like, but it serves its purpose when I get taste for it.
I’ve eaten here several times and a few of my favorite things have been the black beans, the mexican chicken soup and the juevos rancheros with a side of chorizo. These dishes used to be really good to me but over the past year or so they have changed a bit and don’t taste as good as they used to. Not sure why, but I just don’t order them anymore.
If you like mexican food, it’s a good choice and it’s a fun, lively place to eat.
They also have a full bar so if the food doesn’t meet your expectations, the margaritas will !!!
Tip: Bring a jacket because it’s cold in here!

Good food good prices lots of staff to help you. Had enchiladas verdes for lunch, it was very good.

I’m a little bit picky when it comes to Mexican food… so I honestly avoid Mexican food at all costs in Atlanta because it’s just bad all around (Please message me if you have any suggestions for good Mexican food in Atlanta). However, we found ourselves waiting forever for a restaurant on Marietta Square so we came here instead. Good thing about this place is that parking is free and pretty plentiful. I ordered a veggie quesadilla and it just wasn’t all that great. Our food honestly came out too quick for comfort — making me question if they have everything pre-​cooked already. My husband got sick the day after we ate here from the food. The restaurant is also extremely noisy and they really push margaritas on you (even though they are not as «huge» as they describe them to be). Overall, we won’t be coming back.

Last night was my second trip to this La Parrilla, and I was quite pleased with the overall experience. I came in with a coworker for an early dinner after work.
We were seated upon arrival just after 5pm; chips and salsa came out almost before we could sit down! Our server was the lovely Lupita, who recommended the Shamrock Margarita (it was St. Patrick’s Day). We ordered queso in addition to our chips and salsa, and it was delicious.
From a food perspective, both times I’ve come, I’ve selected the chiles rellenos as my entrée. What I love about La Parrilla is that you can choose what ingredients go in there, so I opted for just cheese. They also note that their Mexican rice isn’t vegetarian friendly, so I asked for double beans.
We chatted for a while, enjoying our dinner, and when we were wrapping up, Lupita stopped by to ask how everything went. I was surprised to hear that it was her first day, and thought she did a wonderful job.
If you’re in the area and looking for some great Mexican food, this is a great option!

This place is str8… good c/​s and good decent Chicken Soup.

We come here every week for lunch. So far, I’ve not found something on the menu that I don’t like. I especially like the Burrito La Parrilla. The servers are very nice and the food almost always comes out quicker than expected. I’m not sure how authentic the Mexican food is but I’d say this is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants.

Can’t beat this place for consistently good food and service. Always packed so come early. GREAT salads. Chicken soup keeps me coming back.

La Parilla has several locations and I think I some point in my life I’ve been dragged to every — single — one — of them.
That said — I pretty much hate everything on the menu except the fish tacos.
Those friggin fish tacos. Not the regular ones.
The ones with the fried tilapia, mexican coleslaw and peppers.
Yum.
I always seem to get a bad server — one that can’t speak English, or one that can speak English but is either mad at her boyfriend or mad that she has to work this weekend, or — and this one’s my favorite — one that seems like he’s still in high-​school — with bad skin and afro or emo haircut and clunky, funky glasses — and you just know he’s cracking up the kitchen staff, doing «funny» and obscene things with my tacos before he brings ‘em out.
And the parking at this location is horrible. They are in a strip mall with Publix and several other places.
On one occasion, the amount debited from my checking account was not the same as the amount I signed for.* As soon as I discovered this, I called and spoke to a manager and he took care of it in a timely fashion. Any way — I encourage patrons to use cash.
