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.

Tortillas and green/red salsa sauce.

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!

Ordered delivery. Burgers were yummy and having Mac and Cheese as a side is a plus. Sad I didn't try it sooner. Love it.

Amazing service people are super nice and food is great !!!…read more There Miches are bomb! Highly recommend

I went to eat at Corrales on Friday night and accidentally left my phone behind…read more When my wife went back to pick it up, using the location from Find My iPhone, the same server who had waited on me told her she didn't recognize me or know who I was. My wife was there with our two little children, trying to explain what I had been wearing, who I was with, and where we had been sitting. She was still ignored and received very little help from the staff. Eventually, I did get my phone back, and I'm thankful for that. But what bothers me is everything surrounding it. I tipped more than 20% that night. I always try to leave my table as clean as possible out of respect for the server and busser. I've been coming here for years. I genuinely love the food and have always enjoyed the atmosphere. I even have memories of getting ice cream with my son from the place next door, which I understand is under the same ownership. That's why this experience hurt more than it probably would have somewhere else. Maybe this was the actions of one server. Maybe there was a misunderstanding. I can't say for certain what every staff member knew. But from my wife's experience, no one seemed willing to help her, and the way the situation was handled felt dishonest, dismissive, and disrespectful. Something as simple as returning someone's lost phone should not have turned into this. I have a lot of good memories at Corrales, and I truly loved coming here. Unfortunately, after this experience, I don't see myself coming back. Thanks for the memories, Corrales. I sincerely wish this situation had been handled differently. Fui a comer a Corrales el viernes por la noche y accidentalmente dejé mi teléfono ahí. Cuando mi esposa regresó a recogerlo, usando la ubicación de Find My iPhone, la misma mesera que me había atendido le dijo que no me reconocía ni sabía quién era. Mi esposa estaba ahí con nuestros dos hijos pequeños, tratando de explicarle cómo iba vestido, con quién estaba y en qué mesa habíamos estado sentados. Aun así, prácticamente la ignoraron y recibió muy poca ayuda por parte del personal. Al final sí recuperé mi teléfono, y agradezco eso. Pero lo que realmente me molesta es todo lo que pasó alrededor de la situación. Esa noche dejé más del 20% de propina. Siempre trato de dejar mi mesa lo más limpia posible por respeto al mesero y a la persona que limpia las mesas. He venido a este lugar durante años. Sinceramente me encanta la comida y siempre he disfrutado mucho el ambiente. Incluso tengo bonitos recuerdos de ir por helado con mi hijo al lugar de al lado, que tengo entendido pertenece al mismo dueño. Por eso esta experiencia me dolió mucho más de lo que probablemente me hubiera dolido en cualquier otro lugar. Tal vez todo fue por la actitud de una sola mesera. Tal vez hubo algún malentendido. No puedo asegurar lo que sabía cada empleado. Pero por lo que vivió mi esposa, nadie parecía dispuesto a ayudarla y la forma en que manejaron la situación se sintió deshonesta, indiferente y muy irrespetuosa. Algo tan simple como devolverle a alguien un teléfono perdido no debería haberse convertido en algo así. Tengo muchos buenos recuerdos de Corrales y sinceramente me encantaba venir aquí. Lamentablemente, después de esta experiencia, no creo volver. Gracias por los recuerdos, Corrales. Sinceramente desearía que esta situación se hubiera manejado de otra manera.

Inviting and beautiful restaurant located on the South side of Cermak Road, 22nd Road. Vibrant…read moreinside , decorated very festive and matches the theme of their business cards. Nice outside patio seating as well. A hostess will greet you. Spanish is the first language , but can communicate in English. I didn't really understand the hostess when I asked why we couldn't sit at the front of the restaurant in the high top tables. I thought she said because of mosquitoes, but my internal translation may be incorrect . We sat in the inside dining room. The drinks & appetizer were good quality. Goat quesabirria, skinny Cadillac margarita and Don Julio . They should bring out plates with the chips and salsa when there is more than one person at the table. It promotes healthy eating habits as not to "double dip". But overall, service was good. Friendly people and good food/drinks. They are suppose to have the Best Pozole in Chicago, looks like I'll need to return to verify that. Looking forward to it. Parking is out front or in surrounding area, 2 hour max, read signs. Bus stops outside on corner. Not too far.

Went here today for lunch. There were three of us. I wonder if they add the tip for three people…read more The bill for shrimp ceviche and one mojito was 43$ plus tip. I unfortunately left the copy of the bill. Thr ceviche was 20$, the drink was 13$. How could 33$ jump to 43$? I think the tip was added and I did not notice, so I paid an extra tip. If this is the practice, I won't be going there again. The shrimp ceviche was not even good. The cucumber mojito was great. Disappointed with the food and high price.

My brother has been telling us about Brasas for a couple of years and this time we finally stopped. Now we can't wait to go back! One of the best things Chicago is there are these little hole in the wall places that have excellent food. This place reminds us of the Depot. Another little hole in the wall on Roosevelt but the chef came from the 95th. My brother said the tortas are the thing to get here. Although he also said breakfast is pretty good. So tortas it was. Two of us ordered the chicken Milanese and one carne asada. When these are served it looks like a mini loaf of french bread. They are huge. The bread one of the most important components to any sandwich was soft and pillowy. The milanese was crispy and not overdone. The carne asada was juicy and flavorful. The tortas come with lettuce and tomato. I finished mine first and started eyeing my wife who gave me the touch mine and sleep on the couch for the next month look. I could have and wanted to eat more but then again there is always next time. And maybe breakfast too. These tortas were outstanding!

The restaurant has that classic Mexican restaurant look and a welcoming atmosphere. From our table, we could see straight into the kitchen, which was busy the entire time with food being prepared and coming out. The staff were really nice and welcoming, checking on us and making sure we had everything we needed. I ordered the Asada Sope Dinner, and wow... these things were massive. Each sope was packed with meat and covered with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and crema, with a layer of beans underneath holding everything together. It was basically a little mountain of food on each plate. The sopes themselves were crispy and crunchy around the edges. The beans added a warm, savory layer underneath, while the crema brought some coolness and richness to everything. The meat was the star for me. It was juicy and tender with those little charred edges that gave it a smoky, grilled flavor. These were honestly epic. Definitely I'll be coming back just for those sopes, a delicious mountain of food.

The place here is affordable. Their food is good …read more Respect to the owner and staff. Good job keep up the good work!
