Horrible/terrible service by our waitress. Went for dinner on Sunday 24 April 2022. We were a party of three. The place was not... busy. We have been there numerous of times and this time we received extremely poor service by the assigned waitress. We placedour order within ten minutes. We waited a long time for chips and salsa until we flagged down one of the other servers. Whenthe food came there still was no silverware . We waited, however, the waitress did not bring it. We attempted to get herattention several times as she passed by the table but she ignored us. Again we flagged down a different server for silverware.Yes our food was getting cold. Our waitress did have time to attend others tables and have conversations with thosecustomers. All in all her demeanor was lacking of what is expected and anticipated from a person in the restaurant environment. Her attitude was extremely unfriendly. When she brought the check was the only time she smiled and was efficient and rapid incollecting payment. The other two servers which we had to flag down were very professional with all customers. Some peoplerequire training in order to be successful in the food industry. This is the responsibility of the owner and management. Theother two servers were very attentive when flagged Read more

Would of earned 5 stars if the coffee wasn?t cold. Other than that though, ????????????????Food was very good, and I will... definitely be back. Large menu options and prices are very affordable. Read more

La Parrilla served me the best taco I had during a 3-day weekend taco run in Ventura County last year. The restaurant's... extensive menu of Yucatán-inspired seafood dishes, vaporcitos, panuchos, and molcajetes ought to be carefully explored bylocals. I consider large menus to carry inherent risk, as there are more opportunities for one to order the wrong thing, butthis possibility seems unlikely at La Parrilla given the quality of what they have served me. La Parrilla's "Cochinita PibilTaco" ($4.00) is the kind of taco that lets us forget the human struggle for a few minutes, and provides ample evidence that LaParrilla is the real deal. The restaurant's silky cochinita pibil guisado practically dissolves on your tongue, as tender chunksof pork barely clutch on to buttery bits of fat in a recaudo rojo that perfectly balances a salvo of warm chilis with adelightfully sour tickle of citrus. The taco's white corn tortilla (which can be upgraded to a handmade tortilla at additionalcost) is wrapped around its contents, steamed from the decadent stew within, and then sprinkled with pickled onions and crumbledqueso, inviting a spoon-and-knife approach. Carefully pour on some of La Parrilla's exquisite gut-melting pinkish salsa andprepare yourself for NSFW repercussions. You may also enjoy La Parrilla's take on the "Baja-Style Fish Taco" ($4.95), as herethe generously-sized flaky white fish filet is covered in an ultra-crunchy golden fried batter, and then dressed with pico degallo, sliced avocado, bitter strips of red & white cabbage, and a punchy chile cream sauce. A lightly grilled tortilla is juststurdy enough to hold the taco's bulging contents in place for your ingestion. Read more

We ordered a dozen of each flavor of Tamales for Christmas Eve dinner and all 3 flavors were delicious, The ratio of masa to... meat was perfect. The filings were hardy and had a great flavor. I appreciated the tamale wrappers used because they werelabeled so our guests did not have to touch each one to figure out the flavor. The staff were so kind and efficient also. I lookforward to trying more menu items in the future, Read more
