I stumbled upon this place when my parents wanted to try out Mexican food. Knowing that there's a…read morelot of options, I wanted to try out something that I've never had before. Knowing that this place isn't too far, and it's on BuHi, we came to visit. There was plenty of seating when we came here and we were welcomed. As usual, we were given chips with salsa. For appetizers we also ordered guacamole. The guac wasn't your usual salty, they used the cheese to bring out the salt content. Every dish we ordered was seasoned very well. Overall, I thought Amealco was great. I would definitely recommend anyone to come here and eat. The Al pastor was great and it was flavored super well. The service was great as well.

The…read morerestaurant is not super big, tables are bench style, which is not my favorite but it's cute and bright. Parking is a also little awkward. The food itself is a small buffet but has great options which I find they change every so often. They also have a Brazilian steakhouse vibe with the sliced meat off skewers but you have to go up to the meat bar and choose there. For drinks, same concept, it is unlimited but you have to go up to the the lady at the fountain. The food is delicious and the price is fantastic. Definitely worth a visit!

JA thought this place was incredible and JO rates it a 3.5/5. Someone who likes a lot of meat would love it. The beef was flavorful & it was nice to go and get it rather than wait for a server to come around.

It was a CROWDED Friday night at The Forum and LaParilla was BUSY. Nonetheless, we were promptly seated. We ordered an assortment of items across the five of us, Guac, wings, chimichanga, shrimp tacos, veggie fajitas, seasoned fries, plantain and a quesadilla. I only tried the guac, fries, veggie fajitas, one margarita and plantain. My food was just okay. But everyone else seemed as to enjoy their meal. Perhaps, better suited for meat-lover options. Contrary to the name, the fries weren't seasoned at all. The plantain were PERFECT. The veggie fajitas were bland and I'm not sure why tomatoes were added. BUT the rice and black beans were delicious. Again, this place is probably best suited for drinks, and meat-based meals. If you're into a crowded spot with a range of Mexican inspired options, this is your place.

We started off with table guacamole, queso dip. I ordered my usual Mexican pizza with one side beef taco and for the first time I got to see their bowls that look delicious. I definitely will try that the next time our server was Diego and he was amazing. The atmosphere is pretty loud, but it is a great place to meet for drinks or for food or both. They do have a nice size bar at this location.

Probably the worst Mexican I have ever had! We walked in at…read more5:30 and were the only ones in the place. We thought maybe it was just too early. At 7:30 when we left the door never opened. We had to order chips and salsa, only to find out you pay for them. And for each basket of chips. My Co worker ordered queso for himself but when they split the check, without asking she split the question between the 3 of us. I ordered street tacos. It comes with 4 plus beans and rice. Normally this is meat with almost no juice, corn tortillas with cilantro and onions. When i picked up the first one water/ juice poured out of it, the second had so much it fell apart at the fold when I picked it up. The beans and rice were little more than a tablespoon each. When I asked for my drink to be refilled she made no apology about having just poured it out. I mean we were the only ones there, keep up. There appear to be a lot of Mexican places around. Try something else.

I am sad to say that this place was JUST ok. The space is decorated like a traditional Mexican…read moreRestaurant. The live band was a nice touch. They were having their grand opening, under the new name. The special was two free tacos. I chose the carnitas. The meat was finely shredded with no fat (Therefore no flavor), juice or seasoning. I was dissapointed in my free tacos lol. Which is tuff! I had the Chorizo dip, which was chorizo in queso blanco, and the only thing that threw me was that it was watery, (so was the salsa)... WHICH I waited until it cooled to see if it would thicken and it did not lol. I added salsa verde and rojo to the dip to add flavor (Neither of which were hot just medium... NOTED because I asked for habenero and was told by 2 servers "Oh the red is spicy..." "Oh the green is hot right?!" (Side Eye))The chips were nice crispy and fresh, they came out hot and the skinny margarita is their fresh margarita which I flavored mango... Pretty good. You can also take drinks togo... Wink... Don't drink and drive kids!... Anywhoooo... The service was meh. I could say it was because it was the grand opening... But it was early so it wasn't busy... I had several people wlk past me at the bar before one would eventually check to see if I needed anything and I had to just grab attention of anyone randomly to get whatever I needed. There were variables... It didn't blow me away in a good or bad way.

I can't speak on service or ambiance since a fellow coworker picked it up for us, but the food was great!

Loved it! I also enjoyed chips with a few different salsa/hot sauce options. One of my favorites was the salsa de chile de árbol. Delicious!
