Why Locals Love La Parrilla Restaurante
Located in the vibrant heart of Roma Sur, La Parrilla Restaurante offers an authentic taste of Mexican culinary tradition with a focus on expertly grilled dishes. This charming eatery stands out for its warm and inviting atmosphere—cozy yet lively, with a subtle backdrop of soft music that encourages relaxed conversation. The intimate space, while modest in size, is thoughtfully designed to provide comfort and a sense of welcome from the moment you walk in.
La Parrilla’s menu is a celebration of classic Mexican flavors, starting with an array of soups that instantly comfort the soul. The Sopa de Tortilla (MX$54.00) is a standout, delivering a rich, smoky broth layered with fresh tortilla strips, avocado, and cheese—each spoonful bursting with homestyle goodness. For heartier appetites, the Jugo de Carne (MX$64.00) offers a robust and savory broth that promises to satisfy your cravings and warm you from within.
Breakfast at La Parrilla is a true highlight, blending freshness and tradition with great value. The offerings range from energizing beverages like a smooth Café con Leche (MX$31.00) or a creamy Capuchino Helado (MX$42.00) to vibrant plates of fresh fruit, including orders of sweet Papaya or Melón (both MX$31.00). Patrons consistently praise the breakfasts for their generous portions that often come accompanied by juice and coffee, making it an unbeatable morning routine. Dishes such as the hotcakes and chilaquiles are particularly popular, crafted with care and served piping hot, ensuring each bite is full of comforting, homemade flavor.
What truly distinguishes La Parrilla is not just the authentic flavors and reasonable prices, but the genuine hospitality that permeates every visit. Guests recount the respectful and attentive service from the staff, who manage to create a welcoming ambiance without being intrusive—perfect for both quiet breakfasts and casual gatherings. The cleanliness and the efficient service also contribute to a seamless dining experience, further enhancing its appeal as a neighborhood favorite.
While the seasoned chef’s skill shines through in each plate, potential visitors should note a friendly reminder: those who are not accustomed to traditional Mexican spices or have sensitive digestion might want to approach the richer dishes with a bit of caution. Still, the rich, home-cooked taste and the homely spirit found at La Parrilla Restaurante make it a must-visit destination for anyone eager to explore authentic Mexican grilling and breakfast fare in Mexico City.

Es un restaurante para ir a comer comida rápida, el menú es variado y la atención es buena. Ordené una crema de calabaza que me supo simple y unas enchiladas verdes que me parecieron sin sabor. No estuvo mal la comida, las porciones son buenas y las meseras atienden rápido. Llegan a comer ahí, varias personas que visitan doctores porque en la Colonia hay varios edificios de oficinas para despachos médicos. No hay muchas mesas, así que si llegas a comer o desayunar aquí tendrás que esperar afuera porque tienen pocas mesas. Recomiendo el restaurante
