La Parrilla Mexican Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Riverbank

Diverse menu ranging from delicious Mexican Food to a Healthy Fit section... which I appreciate! Most visits, we gorge on a basket of chips with salsa and bean dip and sometimes a michelada. All of which we truly enjoy! Last time I had a plate of chilaquiles that were topped off with overeasy eggs and a side beans. Exactly what I was craving! Reminded me much of my abuelitos chilaquiles from Zacatecas; tasty, saucy, and topped with cotija. However, this time I opted for less traditional and more health conscious. Yes! It is possible to do that here, given you pass on the basket of chips and ask for a couple of corn tortillas instead. You forgo the grease and if you're like me, the inability to keep track of how many chips you actually ate. Anyhow, I've ordered a few things off their Fit menu all of which have been great. My hsbd even ordered Fit and thoroughly enjoyed his bowl filled with grilled onions,zucchini, Brussels sprouts, and robust Shrimp. The flavor was nothing short of amazing and for that reason we love eating healthy here. My salad was fresh and filled with an abundance of large sweet strawberries. I loved everything about the salad but only thing i would change is dressing. Too gummy and tad too sweet much like a jam consistency. Perhaps a balsamic dressing would pair better, which I would recommend to balance the sweetness from the fruit. Overall, completely happy to have ordered this salad and nourish my body. You shouldn't have to sacrifice flavor for healthy and La Parilla makes...

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!!! If I could give zero stars I would. I ordered two large chicken soup because my family is sick. It was picked up and delivered to me but when I saw the soup containers I knew we would not be able to eat it. Instead of being clear chicken soup it was as orange as my place mat. My sick family would not be able to eat oily spicy soup. What really disappointed me is that when I called to let them know, they did not nothing to make it right. I have been going to La Parrilla for years walking there for happy hour and dinners. We moved 35 minutes away and up until today we would still go there, NOT ANYMORE! I cautious anyone who orders out from La Parrilla KNOW if your order isn't right, don't expect them to make it that way. What a waste of my family's travel...

Was in the area looking and figured we would give it a try with no expectations. Wow, we were both impressed!! Mu husband and I were greeted by staff and we asked if we could sit at the bar to eat as the place was packed. Absolutely...perfect. The bartender was quick to wait on us and give menus. The menu has something for everyone, even a nice selection for those watching their caloric intake. I had the pastor street tacos and my husband the chile Verde. We both agreed to Verde sauce must be homemade or they found an excellent sauce in the market. Give it a try you will not be disappointed. The margaritas and Micholadas (?) seem to be very popular because they were flying out of the bar. Wait..wait. the salsa!! Most of us judge by the salsa. I liked it! Hopefully...
