La Parrilla

Good tacos

Great food. Great drinks. Good food service. Nice n clean.

Great tortas. Service is hit or miss. Big selection of frozen deserts.

This 3/5 review is specifically due to a solidly delicious burger(4/5) I had here. But when it comes to service, this place deserves a 1/5!!

We had just picked our friends up from the airport and they were starving. I'd heard this place had good burgers and it wasn't to far from home, so we stopped by. It was around 3p on a very rainy Saturday. The place was empty except for maybe one or two other tables. We picked our table and menus were brought out right away. I had only seen pictures of burgers on Yelp, so I was surprised when a multi-page Mexican menu was handed to me and the burgers were listed on a small separate menu.

During the first twenty minutes there, our waitress was very aggressive about asking if we were ready to order yet. But between good conversation with friends we hadn't seen in a while and several pages of a menu to dig through, we needed some time. We also had some questions since we'd never eaten there. And with every question we asked, she answered with as few words as possible and seemed very disappointed if we asked for further details.

When we finally did get the order in, things just got worse. I think it was around twenty minutes that she delivered a burger and fries to me. But not only was I the only one she put food in front of, the order was also wrong (I ordered no bun and wanted LOADED fries). Of course I didn't want to eat since no one else had their food. So we continued to wait...5-10 minutes later she came back, mumbled something about a mistake and took the burger and fries away. We waited a solid 10-15 minutes more for all of our food to arrive! We watched other tables that ordered after us (this place had started to fill up) get their food!! I can't believe our food finally came out at all, let alone as ordered.

Thank goodness I enjoyed my burger as much as I did after all that nonsense. But I think the people who hadn't gotten burgers and got fajitas instead weren't as impressed - it looked pretty mediocre. It probably didn't help that our waitress brought out their tortillas after our men had already inhaled their food.

I ordered the Pastrami burger. It was also covered in perfectly melted cheese and some delicious chili. This was a sizable pile of goodness!

And while my loaded fries certainly didn't look like much, they were actually pretty good! The fries looked frozen, the cheese was in two forms - sauce and unmelted shredded. But with real chunks of bacon it somehow came together and was pretty yummy!

Throughout the rest of our time the bad service continued. No drink refills, no checking in on us and impossible to find when we were more than ready for the bill. We didn't even bother asking her to split the check because we didn't want to have to wait any longer.

So, I guess if you feel ok with crap service, go check out this burger!
