We enjoyed our meal here- grilled seafood platter, plus salad plus rice plus nibblies to start. We had fish, lobster, prawns and calamari and all were delicious. And 2 free cocktails included. All up US$80. It was the best meal we had had in 3weeks visiting Cuba and Mexico and worth the price. Service was good and we had an... More

Our group dined upstairs and the food was good. A mariachi band showed up in the dining room serenading us while we ate. I had a shrimp enchilada, the usual tortilla was replaced by something that was more crepe-like. A couple of the girls ordered the "Mixed Grill" which was marked "serves 2" but could have easily fed twice as... More

Great food, not cheap but not expensive either, didn't actually get to see the bill, which I didn't like. Also being English, gets up my nose a bit when they expect to not give you back any change regardless of the amount you give them. More

Went here with partner and a couple of new friends. Overall it was good. Standard mexican fare. Service was good. Portions could have been bigger. Not a bad choice for a reasonable priced dinner overlooking 5th Ave. The Mariachis were fun and even came upstairs to where we were sitting. More

Want to take a picture in a wide brimmed straw sombrero? Want a mariachi band in your face waiting for a tip? Want to face Subways, Dairy Queen & Burger King? How about nasty food at high prices? Yeah, I didn't think so. More

This place is AMAZING! We were not apart of any groups, we walked in on our own free will and had amazing foods and drinks. The staff was great and helpful. I suggest for anyone who goes to playa del carmen to stop at La Parilla, its simply just great food! More

Did not receive beans w/ meal as menu indicated beans came with the meal. Server gave no reason, I asked to see the manager. Manager said they were not used to the "new menu". He did not offer to bring the item left off, no I'm sorry, no discount for what not provided. I told him there would be no... More

Great service and food! We were in Playa del Carmen 10 years ago and the food and service are the same. Nice outside seating on Ave 5. My friend had the sesame chicken fajitas and they were FANTASTIC!!! There is an appttizer that is melted cheese and tortillas. It might not sound that great but it was really good!! More
