    Carne asada taco with cilantro, onions, and salsa verde.
    Rick C.

    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.

    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.

    We are now fans of Parilla! This is our 2nd time here and we love the food and presentation. Everything we have tried had been excellent. Make sure you make a reservation! The word Is out on this hidden gem!

    We got a catering order for tacos. For a big group event. There was so much food! The meats were lovely, the sides were abundant and the chips were some of the best I have had!

Perfect menu, ridiculously large and well made deli sandwiches and a store full of Italian food staples and bakery items! Couple of minor downsides to be aware of - no indoor seating and somewhat limited outdoor / shaded area. Also, I had The Roc sandwich, wasn't cut all through and the crappy plastic knife broke while trying to slice. Great problem to have, the sandwiches are pretty large but pretty basic to give you a good cut. In fact, in reviewing my pics the cutting procedure took so much focus after unwrapping my sandwich, I quit taking pics! Haha All minor stuff, this is a great spot for lunch... highly recommend!

I ended up going there for dinner two different times during the week. I was here. It's not a fancy place, but I'm not a fancy person lol, they have several different options of items to order. The variety is incredible. This is Home with the big baby burger and if you've never tried one order it and thank me later, I had that one night and then last night I had the gyro platter. Oh my God, the portions are huge ended up, taking it back to the hotel and snacking on it later it comes with fries and there were so much food. I never even got to them on the first round of eating it will be back every time I'm in town for work. Did I mention the prices are extremely cheap and the service was really fast. It's clean and quiet and theyve got a couple TVs but more can you ask for.

    ONE LAST NUGGET…read more Always double-check your bag from Wendy's, in case there's a surprise nuggie at the bottom. It didn't take long after starting my new job to find the nearest distributor of chocolate Frosties. I hit up this location in Garfield Ridge for lunch every other week and the experiences have been generally pleasant, even though once they forgot a straw and on a separate visit they gave me no sauce :( You're greeted with a quartet of self-order kiosks when you walk in, but you can still place an order with a human being. I like the counter area they have by the windows facing Archer Ave. No ketchup pumps, which makes me think their condiments are behind the counter under lock & key. I recently tried the ghost pepper ranch chicken sandwich ($11 for a combo) and to their credit, it was pretty damn hot. Halfway through eating, I started seeing little horizontal lines which made me wonder if I was hallucinating or just needed new contacts. I made ample use of their Coke freestyle machine, regardless. Saucy nuggs are great, you can get them standalone or as part of a 10pc combo ($10)--I recommend the spicy honey bbq, garlic parm, and buffalo. The $5 Biggie Bag is still the best deal in town, a Jr bacon cheese with fries, 4pc nuggets and drink for a crazy low price. * TL;DR * This is a solid Wendy's with a clean dining room and quick drive-thru. I've tried to avoid going out to lunch more than once a week, and when I do, I usually only drop $5.54 (the exact cost of a Biggie Bag + tax). You can find some nice deals online, like a free 10pc nuggets when you sign up for Wendy's rewards, or $2 off a premium combo. Tip: trying to turn left onto Archer is tricky, and though you could get lucky with the flow of cars, you're much better off exiting onto Laramie and using the traffic signal.

    HEATING UP Burger…read moreKing's got a few seasonal items that'll keep you warm in the wintery cold. This BK can be found on Central Ave in Chicago a few blocks south of I-55. I usually stop here after getting gas next door but rarely seek it out otherwise. Once in a while, they'll put up themed menu items like the purple Whopper tie-in with The Addams Family. The $5 "your way" meal comes with a 5pc nuggets, small fry, tiny drink, and choice of Jr Whopper or chicken sammy. I still love their crispy tacos ($1.39/ea) but there's no option to add jalapenos when ordering off the web. Some special deals are online exclusives. BK's fries are garbage, in my opinion the worst of any fast food place. No amount of bbq or honey mustard can save them. Their chicken fries, on the other hand, are quite tasty; the fiery 8pc chicken fries ($4) are spicy and worth trying, especially when dipped in ranch. They have a Coca Cola freestyle drink machine inside. Employees are always nice and that helps to smooth out any rough spots like forgetting sauce with my last order. I've seen staffers cleaning the parking lot area of rubbish, so they're clearly invested in maintaining the grounds. Entering and exiting the drive-thru is a bit tight. * TL;DR * Another day, another BK. I'm not ashamed to admit this is a filler review. Hey, they can't all be fancy dinners and swanky hotels. Sometimes you've gotta slum it in order to hit a '10 reviews a month' target you set for yourself (my lone New Years' resolution--to write more). Take it or leave it, but you could do a whole lot worse than this Burger King.

When I finally got a response, the employee asked what I wanted. I gave my mobile order code, but he ignored me and asked again what I wanted. I repeated the code, and his reply--given with attitude--was, "What do you want?" At that point, I was frustrated with the poor service and told him I didn't want anything anymore. His response again carried attitude. I drove up to the window to ask for a manager, but none of the employees would respond. Eventually, a young lady came over--though I highly doubt she was the actual manager. I asked for the drive-through employee's name, and she refused to give it. She only gave me her own name. When I requested the owner-operator's information, she went inside for quite a while before returning with just a receipt and a phone number, still refusing to provide the owner's name. I ended up having to call corporate while sitting in the drive-through to escalate the issue, and I'm still waiting on a call back from management. If you're traveling through Midway Airport, do yourself a favor and skip this location. Poor service, dismissive employees, and likely poor food quality as well. You'll have a better experience across the street at the new Taco Bell, where service and food are far superior.

It's amazing they are still here, I remember when they first opened maybe 20yrs ago. Wow. I love how it's like walking into a history lesson. Like a USA historical site location. Do people pay attention to their surroundings and treasure hunts? Very unique. Very interesting. I love how modern it is and easy to navigate. They really are clean and organized for such a busy place. They have been in this community for a long time. And are still doing so well here. That's awesome! I used a new self serve kiosk. I find those are very helpful and no communication is needed at all. If you can see pictures, you can pick your food. Kids can navigate it. Good way to get them to "self help" and guide them to make good decisions. They call a number. I pick up my food. Clean dining room. Picnic traditional table clothes. Also the old Pizza Hut brand use to use those too and it was very catchy then. My chargrilled burger was amazing. It's so fresh, juicy, and perfect blends of goodness in a fresh sesame bun. The cheese sauce on the side for the Krinkle Fries. Yum. They do have Coke Zero products. They also have a famous chocolate cake & cake shake. So good. I had plenty left for another meal later. They also have a large catering business attached. That was super organized also. There was a bar but they were not open.
