Located on a busy corner on Route 66, Ogden Ave. NorthWest corner; parking is on the west side of the business. Ask them inside if in doubt about parking. Good tacos here! Nice people also. They are at the end and almost completed with their remodel- looks really nice inside. Clean - open space with many dining tables for dine in. Open grill , so you can see them cook if you like. They have a catering menu as well and host events. $4.20 for Steak taco, red & green salsa - both decent. I think 3.5 is accurate rating , I'd like to come back and visit them try something else on the menu for Dine in and update review then. Great place in a very busy community. Liquor store across street SouthEast. Smoke shop as well. Many places to visit up and down Route 66 when in the area. read more

First time customer. Beyond pleased with what we ordered. Maria burger Route 66 burger Hawaiian burger and the Santa Fe chorizo burger. I would add pictures but we devoured till the last bite to even be able to take a picture. Beautifully put together all perfectly flavorful. The fries. And the side soup. I'm drooling. Will be returning to try new things. read more

Great food and service. Love their chicken avocado panini. It's my go to option there.

First time ordering from here. Had the skirt steak sandwich medium well. It was so flavorful and tender. It's served on a garlic bread. The side of the Greek potatoes were very good too. Not overly seasoned. Will definitely be ordering again. read more

Wow! I'm really happy I've finally found a place where the tacos are worth the price. Carne asada tacos were well seasoned and flavorful. They were generously filled and plenty of salsa to go with it. The both salsa were tasty but spicy. I didn't have the red It was too hot for me, the green was also but tacos needed some sauce. = nice to haves - a few slices of lime. Dinnerware some napkins and such. I did without them, but if I were going back to work a jobsite I'd probably ask for them. The place itself was pretty big. I didn't pay too much attention to the ambiance (since I was just there for take out) but there were tvs. Overall, very satisfied. I can't wait to try something else from here. read more

A few weeks ago, we ordered burgers and LOVED them. We ordered the skirt steak parrillada dinner and steak tacos today, big mistake! It wasn't skirt steak! The tacos were half nerves and fat. read more

So I ordered a Family chicken package worst ever family chicken was Dry no good taste. It was microwaved & then put on grill. ‍ Went back tried it again thought maybe was just me I spoke with the owner which he's also the chef & told him my experience, he said every chicken has to be microwaved and put on the grill because they have so many orders that the way keep fresh chicken DONT THINK ill be picking up no more chicken here keep an eye on your orders they tried to hide it on me that they throw food in microwave thats right in front of the grill.. brazzas on cicero ave has fresh chicken on the grill the way it should be just an idea.. read more

Love their food the grilled chicken is fenomenal. Their staff is very nice and attentive

Food is good, always consistent. It's a local business. Parking is ok, drive slow or you will miss it

This place exceeded our expectations. The fries were perfect! Loved them! I had a grilled chicken sandwich which was flavorful and delicious. My husband enjoyed the burger. We also tried the pork tacos which were good portions. I would definitely recommend. The staff were friendly and welcoming. read more

I tried the chorizo burger with the papa wedges and it was super yummy. The chorizo did not give me heart burn . And the papas are like baked wedges idk regardless fire ass idea . & my top fav are the salads . I am always on the go so it makes it easy to get something healthy but knowing it going to fill me and my cravings . Always looking for a good spot with healthy options too . So I think I found a new addiction. The chicken tacos are pretty good . The salsa is not watered down so that a big plus. I guess we'll see what's next to try . read more

Wanted chicken, grilled and delicious, and found just that with Parilla. The 10 piece chicken pieces and steak cheese fries were on point. First time visitor and will absolutely be back and will recommend. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. read more

My girlfriend and I, ordered a grilled chicken avocado panini and bbq chicken through DoorDash and it's was the best $20 dollars I've spent during this quarantine life. Fantastic job on the food, will be ordering more often. read more

!!!Zero stars!!! Never again!!! Avoid this place at all costs!!! !!!Just look at the hidden reviews!!! Can't say I even tried the food because it was never even delivered!!! Made a delivery order on a weekday at 6:35pm. An hour goes by, an hour & a half goes by & nothing. I call the restaurant at 8 pm & they assure me the food is 15 minutes away. 8:40pm rolls around & I call the restaurant since they close at 9. At this point I don't even want the food but of course I've already paid for it. The guy who answers puts me on hold while he calls the delivery driver. He says they're not answering & he doesn't know what happened. No apology whatsoever, just says not to worry, I will get my money back. Really!? Hell yes I'm getting my money back, I'm not paying for food that I never received! Delivery driver calls at 9 pm & says she will be here in 15 minutes. Are you effing kidding me!? Told her no thanks don't even bother. Horrible! Horrible! Horrible! ***strange thing I noticed, this "restaurant" shouldn't have the rating that it does, it should be much much lower. If you take a look at the the Not Recommended reviews you will see that this is an ongoing problem but for whatever reason they are hidden by Yelp. This place seems so shady!!!*** read more

Parilla Express is still the bomb. Delivery is swift, food is delish, and prices are great for the portions. This is a must try as they have a diverse menu. read more

BUYER BEWARE! I ordered two taco salads through GrubHub. When the order was received, the avocados were so moldy that the entire order was inedible. I've actually been advised to report them because of how bad it was. (I do have pictures if I can figure out how to upload them) https://i.gyazo.com/cf9258e7aa97d60eb79dfa7cc698e714.png read more

Tried it through Yelp delivery on a hunch. Everything was great, except the Mac and cheese, which was spicy. Why? I don't know. But it cost them a star. It was horrible. read more

Went here lunch with my son and had the chix sandwich. During that time there was 6 other tables and only two people working. I commend their hard work because they were running around trying the make sure everything got done. The only reason why im giving it three stars is because my fries where under done and the chicken had a weird texture to it. Flavors were there I just wished that they didnt rush making my meal. I would have been more then happy waiting an extra 5-10 min for my food. But, they were swamped and it seemed pretty smoothed. read more

Awesome food and friendly staff! I go there for lunch every Monday and sometimes Thurs

"Meh. I've experienced better," sums up Parrilla Express very well. My friends and I make it a point to support local restaurants whenever we can, and it brings me no pleasure to speak poorly of this establishment. I had the Route 66 burger, and it was fine. I can't say anything negative about the burger, but it only just met my expectations. The french fries, however, failed to meet my standards. I'm fairly certain they're straight from a frozen bag that you would find in a grocery store. They were crisp, and effectively flavorless. I can attest that the rest of my party felt similarly about their meals. The staff was very nice and helpful, although we were put into a strange situation in which one of the staff members decided to wait on us, as we were under the impression that it was a fast-casual affair. I can't recommend Parrilla Express, and I can't condemn it either. There just isn't any draw to eat here again. read more

My husband and I have been waiting for this place to open up for months. Now that it's open we stopped by for a late lunch after church. We ordered two Parilla chicken and ribs combo. The platers came with 1/2 a chicken which you can choose from 3 flavor (regular, lemon pepper or BBQ), 1/2 a slab of BBQ ribs, home made coleslaw, salad with dressing, 2 pieces of garlic bread and addition side of your choice..we picked potato wedges. OMG it was a ton of food. We both ended taking home half our meal. The ribs were falling off the bone good. The chicken was tender and juicy. My husband I are were really happy with our meal. Can't wait to try out their salads and sandwichs! read more

i tried to send this comment direct to restaurant using their email address provided on their website but got a failure notice so I'm posting here. Really?? We have enjoyed so many items off your menu. We have eaten at your restaurant several times, ordered dinner for both pick up and delivery and ordered for lunch at work. Everything has been excellent except for tonight when we ordered mac n cheese as one of our sides. You should be embarrassed to serve what you did. Go homemade or take it off the menu! read more

I've been here twice and on my second I ordered the grilled tilapia with rice and salad. The portions were pretty big, enough for two and it was very tasty. Once again service was very good, food came out pretty quick. My husband had the steak sandwich again, and said that it was even better the second time. read more

They try so hard. You can tell the owner put a lot of work into this place and wants desperately to succeed. I wish him all the best. The Ribs are delicious. Every thing else is somewhat edible too if not a little bland. The prices fair and the place is clean, but whenever I go in their or drive by, the place is deserted. I got the feeling that they won't be there too long so try them while you still have a chance. read more

I am from Louisiana and stumbled on this place while visiting the area. It was so delicious and the staff was so friendly I made a special trip back for lunch the next day. I had the tilapia both days (it was THAT good) but I did hear several people ordering the ribs, it appears to be a specialty of theirs. I can not praise these guys enough or recommend them any higher. Great food, great experience. read more

Food ok wasn't fresh tasting at all more like days old reheated definitely waist of money and wont try again... Very disappointed

Unfortunately. I used to like this place. But there is just something wrong with the meat. Last time I ordered chicken kebab, it smelled weird. And undercooked as well. Everyone is very nice there though. read more

this place is great. I go here once a week for lunch. very hard working owners and staff. I usually get the chicken shish-ka-bob with cream of chicken soup. they have a pretty large and varied menu though. a nice cozy unique place on ogden! read more

Great value! Excellent service, very friendly staff. Tasty food. Good portions. If I lived in the area, it'd be a regular spot.

When you order something simple at a restaurant it's either going to be blah or fantastic. My food at Parrilla Express was fantastic. I was driving home and remembered seeing good reviews for this place so I pulled off and decided to go with a grilled chicken sandwich and fries. I didn't mind the short wait and when I got home about 15 minutes later my food was still hot and loaded with flavor. I'll be stopping in again whenever I'm driving on Ogden Avenue because the food and friendly service is exactly what I was looking for. read more

Food was delicious and cheap for the portions! I had the steak parilla dinner, steak was perfectly grilled and spiced. Rice was just ok but the beans and coleslaw were good. Wife ordered a combo dinner and had plenty of leftovers (it's enough for two people). Comes with BBQ ribs that fall off the bone and Chicken (she ordered the the regular grilled chicken - you can order BBQ or lemon pepper too). Daughter had the kids chicken dinner and she liked it too. I mistakenly ordered cream of chicken rice soup thinking it was an included side. It wasn't but they covered the cost for the confusion. Great service! By the way, that was good too. Looks like a place that mostly is pick up and delivery (we picked up). I'll definitely order again. read more

Walked in place empty no info on how things work there but went ahead and sat near the grill area. A guy came brought a menu and took our order. Apparently only two guys were working as both cooks and waiters. The portions were big but lacking in flavor. I order the salmon entree and it was so over cooked. The highlight of this place was the bbq ribs. The guy was very nice and I really wanted to like the place but it was quite disappointing. read more

We got two chicken avocado sandwiches. They were bland and the texture seemed a little off.

I ordered the quarter chicken meal seasoned with lemon pepper. It was delicious. My first time trying it and I will definitely be back. It came with rice, beans and tortillas and very reasonably priced. read more

This was my first time ordering from Parilla Express. The chicken that came with the steak was literally falling off the bone, although the stake was rubbery it had a decent flavor, the chicken noodle soup was alright it lacked flavor. If you're going to order from here I would recommend the chicken with rice and beans. P.s if only they sold Mexican style salsa (Chile tomate y cebolla) with home made tortillas. Recommendations to the cook: in order for your steak not to be as rubbery don't pre cook, it's OK to take 15 minutes more. The delivery took no longer than 35 minutes. read more

Another place I enjoy visiting. If u need catering for any of ur events I totally recommend this place . Their Italian menu is one of the best I have tasted. Just go in and try anything on the menu and ask them for a catering menu to go for your next event. The owner was kind enough to give me a tasting of what he recommended from his menue for my event. Great prices and delicious dishes. Thank you for your great customer service. read more
