We ended up at La Parrilla by accident when our cab driver dropped us off in the wrong shopping area. It is a bit out of the main tourist area but worth the trip. The margaritas are delicious and strong. I ordered the chicken enchiladas with green sauce and they were the best I ever tasted. My companion ordered shrimp... More

Really liked this place.....off the beaten path, but not too far from Hotel Zone busses. Very friendly service staff, varied menu, reasonable prices, and occasionally a Mexican 8-piece band comes strolling thru the restaurant and plays for everyone's enjoyment. More

The atmosphere in this place is good / lively, but they let themselves down by lack of attention to customers needs. I asked for a medium ribeye steak and should have sent it back, but nobody asked if my steak was okay!! It's not cheap to eat here by comparison to others so you would expect more care to go... More

It is in downtown and quite a bit away from the bus stop. It is usually packed to the gills. Food is decent but not great as we heard in the review. Big positive, it is a cheaper than the hotel zone restaurants offering similar fare. The Mariachi band is fun but they ask for a 100 Peso tip to... More

Great Mexican restaurant out of the tourist places. Located about 15 minutes out of Cancun. Great authentic Mexican food with great selection of Tequilas. One of the places you know locals go to. Good place to take your family, groups, as well as business. Great service typical of what you receive in restaurants in Mexico. More

I have been to this restaurant two times, 1st time with new friends April 2010 and the Second time with family Dec 2010. The food was really good ate everything, the service was wonderful. They cook some of the meals right there at the table so in the summer it can get really hot with the flames and all. But... More

We have been to this restaurant three times now and each time we love it even more - group of four went to Mexico last February and had a blast here - Margaritas are HUGE and very tasty, seafood is fresh - the marriachi band adds a wonderful touch and the waiter who carries your drinks on his head is...

Its a great place to go for lunch. The buffet allows you to choose what you are eating, a great way to get around getting what you want without knowing Spanish. More
