I used to love the location on Howell Mill back when I was in college!. Their shrimp tacos held the standard for ALL shrimp tacos in every other city I’ve lived in. Now that I’m back in Ga, I was SO happy to see a location in McDonough and I’m happy to report NOTHING HAS CHANGED, everything’s gotten better! The shrimp tacos I fell in love with are still those girls! The margaritas hit, the music is always a good time and the service is always fabulous. I love me some La Parilla! Yall need to make shirts cus I’d wear one!

Stopped by for late lunch today with my family. I’m grateful for our server Jashawn. Apparently we came in during a shift change and he promptly attended us after waiting longer than usual for someone to greet us. He explained to us the shift change situation and had no hesitation in apologizing and getting us served with just the best of the best hospitality and 10/10 service. Food is always great! I would say music choice could be better. I don’t like to feel as if I’m in an R&B Club listening to non Mexican music at a “Mexican Restaurant”. Overall great experience, always a family favorite.

Came for a weekday dinner and was seated quickly and food came out quickly. But the best part was the service from Byron G- very personable and attentive! He ensured we were taken care of and it was a lovely experience.

From the moment we sat down at La Parrilla, America, the server, made our dining experience unforgettable. Her warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail set the tone for a perfect evening. She greeted us with a genuine smile, made thoughtful recommendations from the menu, and ensured every part of our meal was just right. What truly stood out was America’s ability to balance efficiency with a personal touch. She anticipated our needs without being intrusive and made us feel like valued guests rather than just another table. Whether it was refilling drinks, checking on food quality, or simply sharing a friendly conversation, she did it all with grace and enthusiasm. In a world where exceptional service is becoming rare, America is a shining example of hospitality done right. We will definitely return to La Parrilla, not just for the delicious food, but to experience her outstanding service again. Thank you, America—you truly elevate the La Parrilla experience!

This is my second time here and the food is always amazing! Each time I've probably only waited for my food roughly around 10-15 minutes. Bryon made my experience here pleasant, was very personable, and made that connection with us to where we will surely be back. Thank you, Byron! 3

This restaurant has always been one of my favorite Mexican restaurants since I was a kid. Steak in my burrito is always juicy and flavorful. The rice and beans are probably the best of any other Mexican restaurant I've tried. Just wish they had Horchata like the other restaurants across the street. Good service though.

Everything was amazing from the time I walked through the door to the time I left!!!! I was seated very quickly, ordered and received my food between 5-7 minutes. The establishment was very crowded so I was amazed that my food arrived so quickly. While waiting on my food and drinks, I noticed two managers on the floor, In which one of those managers spoke to me and checked to see if I enjoyed my service. My food was amazing, the drinks were amazing and the service was A-1!!!!! Love it!!! Definitely will be coming back and recommending.
