La Parrilla mexicana milano — Restaurant in Milan

The title of this review will be MY BIRTHDAY WAS TOTALLY RUINED… I came to the restaurant to celebrate my Birthday all I wanted was a cake and simple singing but then came a dancer that was dancing in a really weird way sticking his body on me and that totally uncomfortable plus the restaurant was taking videos without any consent or approval you really should explain the options to the customers well and not force them to get something they don’t want .. the restaurant has nice decorations but the food also is below average it was a really traumatizing experience I had to leave I couldn’t even finish my dessert

……..

It’s very sad to see that the person who replies customers in this restaurant is really an ill mannered and was never raised by a parent before :) But that makes complete sense ! Your reply is the perfect example of bad manners and poor taste. Instead of addressing a review with professionalism, you chose insults and sarcasm. That doesn’t make you clever — it only shows how disrespectful and inappropriate you are! It’s completely true that’s our mistake we came to your awful restaurant that’s more of a strip club not a decent place Thank you for confirming with your reply exactly how ill-mannered and disrespectful you are If this is the level of professionalism you represent, then you’ve just proven my point better than I ever could

Thank you for proving my review right with your behavior Respect is free — a pity you can’t afford it Your reply drips with bitterness and bad manners to anyone who makes a comment so if that’s the best you can do, you’ve only embarrassed...

La Parrilla used to be one of my favorite places in Milan, as I have come here over the past few years to dine with friends and family. The food is great. The dancing is fun. And the establishment has a lovely interior. My review is in regards to what happened tonight with a particular waiter. I asked for another round of shots for me and my girlfriends in addition to the bill. He said okay, and counted off the number of people at the table (we were in 4 total), when he got pointed his finger at me he said “ma tu, io non ti vedo”, in reference to the color of my skin. As a Black woman this shocked me. And my friends and I were left speechless at the table. When he came with the shots and bill, I refused the shot stating “ma ormai non mi vedi”. He then started to say how it was a “joke” and I was taking it the wrong way. What other way could this remark have been taken? I have never in my six years of living in Milan experienced something so horrible, degrading and downright cruel. It wasn’t a joke. It was extremely unprofessional, rude and racist. I have no idea why someone would think that was a funny thing to say, especially to a PAYING customer. I paid my portion of the bill and left in tears. I don’t expect a kind or understanding response from the owners given the other responses I see here. I’m leaving this review to warn others of the kind of racially insensitive remarks you might experience if you choose to dine here....

I recently visited La Parrilla in search of an authentic Mexican dining experience, but unfortunately, it didn’t quite hit the mark.

Starting with the positives, the atmosphere was nice, clean, and comfortable. It wasn’t exactly the traditional Mexican vibe I was hoping for, but it was still a pleasant setting to enjoy a meal.

The food itself was just okay. The flavors were decent, but nothing particularly special or memorable. I was expecting something more authentic and bold, but it felt a bit watered down. Definitely not bad, just not exciting either.

The biggest issue, though, was the service. It took way too long to get our food, and even simple things like drink refills or getting the check took forever. The staff was friendly, but the slow pace made the whole experience frustrating.

On top of all that, the prices were way too high for what we got. For the quality of food and the level of service, it definitely wasn’t worth the price tag. I don’t mind paying more for great food and good service, but this just didn’t justify the cost.

Would I go back? Probably not. While the atmosphere was nice, the combination of slow service, average food, and overpriced dishes makes it hard to recommend. If you're looking for a truly authentic and worthwhile Mexican meal, I’d suggest...
