The waiters were good, but the food was just ok. there were four of us with one child, we had four meals, and two beers, and a few soft drinks, I was amazed when the bill came, and it was $97.00 US. It should have been around $60.00 we did find out that they added a $12.00 tip which is... More

My BF and I have been to LaParilla several times over the past five years of visiting Cancun but this might be the last. Upon our arrival we sat at a table which had wads of napkins underneath which is understandable because they have very small napkins so if you're eating hand food you'll go through about 15 or more....

My wife and I wanted to have dinner outside the Hotel Zone so we asked a cab driver if he recommended a good restaurant in Downtown Cancun City. He took us to La Parrilla (Excellent) The atmosphere was very nice, it had a nice indoor-outdoor summery vibe to it. We ordered a guacamole appetizer, Chile Rellenos, Veggie Fajita, Sweet Cake,...

Ceasar salad made table side and Mexican coffee poured through 4 scuppers while flaming into your cups with carmalized sugar on the rim and tequial and coffee licquer. The show is worth the price of the meals. More

We went here after reading the recommendations online and were not disappointed. The restaurant is downtown right on a noisy street, however if you can tune that out it is wonderful. We had great margaritas, chicken enchiladas, burritos, etc. Very reasonably priced and very authentic Mexican food. Would definitely go here again, More

food was delicious and the server was always entertaining, but it seemed expensive for a downtown restaurant...$80 for a seafood/steak dish for two is an example. Other entrees were $15-$25. More

They do not call it brunch, but go there any way. They have a Fresh grilled buffet with excellent higher-end local fare, excellent margaritas, and a very friendly staff. Reasonably priced ($10ish) one of the best meals I have had on vacation anywhere. In old Cancun a cheap bus ride and a 5 minute walk and you are there. More
