Food is excellent and service as well. I have especially enjoyed the soups! I've heard they make them from scratch. So yummy

This restaurant has beautifully carved benches and a unique style. I came in before the lunch crowd started coming in. Our server was very nice and friendly but he would not check in with us as much as we would have liked and we would have to ask him for most things. He would come back after long periods of time. Each table also gets chips and salsa.
I ordered the asada fries but they were a bit too soggy for my liking. They did have good toppings though with sour cream, guacamole, cheese, and jalapeños. I ordered the quesabirria tacos and they did taste very good. A common factor I noticed though is that the plates were not presented well. Each plate or drink we ordered had spillage and was presented messy. I think this is something the kitchen can work on. Beans and rice were tasty as well. They offer a lot of Yucatan plates so if this is something you would like to try this is the place!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 1485435Apr 15, 20241 check-in
I had such a great experience at La Parrilla Yucatan. I started with some bomb.com wings! Then, I ordered the Relleno and enchilada combo, and my kids got the carnita tacos and fish tacos. EVERYTHING was so fresh and delicious. That food came out hot hot hot so you know it wasn't just sitting under a warmer. The flavors were so unique and not your typical Mexican restaurant flavors. It had a little something extra and was amazing! The Horchata, too. It was a different consistency than I'm used to, but it made for such a refreshing horchata. And even if it wasn't amazing, I would still go back just for the service. Wallie was GREAT! Right when we walked in, he greeted us us with a smile and was so welcoming and hospitable. He helped and answered questions about the menu. Even when my kids were changing their minds, he showed even more kindness. I was really impressed when he brought out wings WITH lots of napkins and ranch. That says experience. Usually we have to ask for that. Wallie knows what's up and how to make visiting La Parilla a great experience. Give them a try for unique, delicious Mexican food.

Came here because my friend recommended it. I love the chips they were such a good texture and fresh, the salsa had good flavor but just not enough heat. I ordered shredded beef nachos and a chile relleno burrito (I was sharing food) the nachos were ok the beef was tender and flavorful. The only complaint was the pickled carrot and onions on there were random and too sour. The burrito was very nice and huge, could have used more cheese. The service at first was great so nice and quick. Our waitress went on lunch though half way through which happens and is fine but after she left it was like we were forgotten. It took around 15 minutes of us waiting to get our check for them to finally come and take our plates and see if we were done. Would give it a second chance

We love La Parilla. We normally come for breakfast but we came for a Saturday date night when my girlfriend wanted girl dinner. Normally at breakfast time they'll have to go orders. But at dinner time there was a steady stream of them.
We opted to shared sopes and the molcajete. The sopes had carnitas and asada in them and were a perfect appetizer. The chips are always good; and I asked for a green salsa for them and it was flavorful. We loved the molcajete. Perfect mixture of everything you want. The salsa it came in was nice and spicy and was nice and fresh. All the meat was flavorful and you can tell the chicken was put on the flattop and had a nice crust on it while still being juicy. The shrimps were fresh and had a lot of shrimp flavor.
I had to get some pictures of the menu.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Sep 5, 2022Previous reviewLa Parilla has never disappointed. The thing I love most about this place is the reasonable pricing.
The food is always delicious and flavorful. It's very unassuming from the outside, but the good prices and food will bring you back.Sep 28, 2021Previous reviewWow!
So happy we found this place!
This is going on our list of go-to spots.
Upon walking in the spot is nice and comforting with big booths that are insanely comfortable.
For 10$ a plate, this spot is amazing. Perfect portion size. The eggs were so delicious and the beans were really good. I had to make sure to tell the staff we loved the beans.
Will 1000% be back to try the lunch foods.
As for breakfast, definitely come try here. - 2475364725Jul 22, 2023
GETTING HERE: La Parrilla is located on Ashwood in Ventura. It's in the CVS shopping center and next door to the cleaners.
REVIEW: Great food. Great service. Really and truly. Decided to stop in (during lunch rush, oops) for a bite. Inside, it's a tad cramped, but obviously didn't change my food or review. :) They were packed, so it took a few moments to be seated (but a packed house is a good sign!). We were greeted quickly and were able to place our orders just as quick. The two employees on this side of the kitchen were HUSTLING. V impressive.
I thoroughly enjoyed my Chilaquiles (I am a creature of habit obvi) and my guest was so happy with her Shrimp Fajitas. I love the smoke and steam when the Fajitas are brought to the table; it's my favorite.
The chips were fantastic and the red sauce didn't burn my mouth. I cannot believe it's been over 7 years since I was last here. I won't make that mistake again.
Highly recommend Parrilla. Thank you so much for the outstanding meal and experience. Also, try their Horchata too!Helpful 12Thanks 4Love this 13Oh no 0 - Feb 26, 2024Updated review
Late lunch on a quiet rainy afternoon came in to get take out. Ambiance is great and very homey with the carved wooden booths. The service is always friendly and they had my order ready to go. I love their wet burritos but I was meeting a friend to work on a project so I ordered 2 Cochinita Pibil dishes with black beans and Spanish rice. They came with 2 salsas and a generous bag of fresh warm tortilla chips and corn tortillas. My friend is from Cuba and this is his favorite restaurant. The flavor profile of the roasted pork was the perfect combination and the pickled red onions are the acid that takes it to the next level. The meat was so tender and the black beans and rice rounded out our delightful meal. Could not have been a more perfect meal. Highly recommend !!

The servers are so friendly and they go out of their way to make sure your food and dining experience are as enjoyable as possibly. We usually order the wet burritos because they're large and filled with so much meat. The green sauce just takes these over the top. My new favorite item is the Santa Fe Chicken Salad and the marinated chicken has so much flavor. There's two dining rooms, one in front and the other in the back, so plenty of seating. Highly recommend for food and friendly service!

I called the business to see if they have any taco Tuesday special around lunch time, I was told yes but I guess it was misunderstanding that it does not start till 3 PM however they still had lunch specials. I got the Birria tacos plate which comes with the red rice and beans. I asked for black beans but got pinto which was fine. Still tasted good. Birria tacos were good, just not enough meat in my opinion. My husband had their lunch burrito and he liked it. Their chips and salsa were so good just like their other location DV. I would give them another try. Service was quick.

It's hit or miss. We've dined in as well as ordered to go many times. Dining in by far the food tastes better. To go it feels like you never know what you're going to get. I've ordered the same dish multiple times to go and it always tastes different. Their chips are delicious, home made and thick/sturdy.
