La Parrilla of east windsor — Restaurant in East Windsor Township

The place was very full, but that’s expected since they recently opened. Took the waiter a while to notice we were there. The music choice was very ehh, not personally my type and made me feel kinda weird, (my dad felt stressed). It got very annoying after 5 minutes, of course it could just be the cultural difference. We ordered horchatas to drink, I personally think it tasted like goldfish, but my dad thinks it’s just the overwhelming amount of cinnamon. The chips they give you while waiting for the meal were pretty good. Tasted freshly made (hoping it’s always like that) the bean paste and hot sauce served with it are quite good too. My dad ordered a Bandeja Mixta, all he has to say is a head nod and a 👍”rico”, he would eat again. I order Milanesa de Pollo, tasted more “authentic”, as though actual bread was used. The fries taste store bought, (they taste like the ones from great value); the rice was cold and eh. Not bad but not great either. For some reason the salad tasted off, not sure why. An additional comment, the tortillas were good, I didn’t try it though. The workers were a bit disorganized when asking for the check, the one who we paid a had more or less a bad attitude as if they didn’t want to be there. Lastly they were...

I went into this restaurant about three days ago and asked The Man if he would make me a burrito bowl with steak and shrimp. He made it for me. There was no problem. I walked in there today and I asked the girl behind the counter if I could have a burrito bowl it’s taken shrimp and she flat out told me no so I explained to her that the last time the manager made it for me, but again she flat out told me no I asked to speak to the manager, and I told him I would pay extra foot shrimp. He was beginning to write it down on the check, and then the girl behind the counter, said something to him in Spanish and all of a sudden there was no shrimp. I can only get it with chicken and steak. I asked The Man if I had a choice he told me no , so I said why didn’t the girl behind the counter just tell me she had no shrimp instead the guy told me I have nothing for you and he let me leave with nothing very very unprofessional and it seems racist because shrimp if a Spanish person asked for shrimp he would...

I give this place 5 stars because the food portions for the price you pay can't be beat in the area. The flavor of the food for Guatemalan/Mexican food standards is good, (biased to my mom's cooking) and in a convenient casual setting. I usually get take out and it takes about 10-15 min for food to be ready. I ate in once and was pleased with service. Waitresses speak English so don't be intimidated to come in and try the food because of a language barrier. I ordered a steak and eggs combo and it was big piece of meat. Rice is okay but I did enjoy the beans and plantains. They also give you chips and salsa while you wait which was tasty. I would recommend if you don't want to cook get take out or...
