Greater immediately upon arrival and since it's our first time here the way gave us the rundown on how things work. Luckily we came in on a Thursday so $1 Tacos! I had the chicken, daughter had the pork and granddaughter had the beef. They were all excellent, just enough spice to wake up those taste buds and get your mouth watering. Had a house margarita with raspberry and it was excellent. For these prices these drinks are so worth it. The whole experience was super. Highly recommend and will be back if ever in Boise again. Good job all of you, worked like a well oiled machine. read more

Ordered the Bison Birria Burrito. It was quite amazing, and I put the recommended ingredients in it since I'm letting the professionals do what they do. I believe they added chips to the order, and I thought the chips were quite awesome. But they did have a long line, and it took much longer than I wanted to wait to order a burrito. But in the end, the length and speed of the line, plus the seating area, I really didn't vibe with. But the food was solid, hence the 4 stars. read more

It's good for some cheap food and a game! The breakfast burrito was pretty good. Chips are super salty and the tacos are okay. Breakfast burrito was better than their other stuff in my opinion. Tin roof tacos has better tacos down the road! read more

This is a cool place. They have a few food options and a cool space to hang out and watch the games and a big drink selection. It's even more great because they are dog friendly which is a big plus. Definitely a good place to hang out and watch a game. read more

Solid 4 across the board. Long line, but the friendly staff efficiently moved it along. They gladly helped to explain the menu and answer any questions. Good portion sizes & everything is fresh. Small burrito is huge! All dishes we had were flavorful. Tofu is very good. Reasonable prices & clean dining area. Free drink refills!! Sunny outdoor patio in the back. The only issue is the limited parking availability, so find a spot on the street. read more

Lived in Bend 00-06. Fell in love with Parilla's food and atmosphere. $1 PBR's when you do your season pass dance coming off the mountain. Found ourselves in the treasure valley this weekend. Went 45 mins out of our way for a Chicken Kahn. Edible, but NOT what I remember at all. Super pretentious employees to boot, felt like an imposition to their social scene. Won't be back, will cherish memories of old instead. Too bad!! read more

A brisk March day, the bar was packed for the mountain west championship game -- go broncos -- always a fun atmosphere. Unfortunately, every seat was "saved", so we sat outside with nature. Beers are beers and tasted fantastic. Although, they forgot to add my chicken to the nachos. Nevertheless, we had a good time, just show up earlier before the sport events! read more

Tried this place 2 times now and both times I haven't finished what I've ordered. Just not very good. The chips were so unbelievably salty it made the nachos inedible (see photo, basically every chip looked like this). Like that can't be real hahaha wtf Overall not a fan, maybe would go to get a drink and watch some football or something but the food is a no from me dog. read more

Came here with a friend on a Sunday early afternoon. They had lots of TV's with several games on. It was pretty packed, but not uncomfortably packed. We each grabbed a beer and hung around till a table opened up. My friend spoke very highly of the tacos and she especially liked the salsa's. They also have a large patio and the weather was really nice. Our beer-tenders were friendly and helped us quickly. I have no complaints. Due to the fact that I'm not really into football, I'd come here again on any other day. read more

So bad. we placed a pick up order. When we got there they said the order had not come through but when the ticket printed they'd start the order. 15 minutes goes by and my husband asked again about our order. The guy actually checks the computer and sees the order has been there but a ticket didn't print. When we finally got our food it was truly terrible. Ya'll, I don't even leave bad reviews but felt so compelled by how bad their southwest chicken salad was. It had both ranch and Caesar dressing on it and was clearly made by someone who does not eat salads. We also ordered a steak taco that was also too gross to take more than 1 bite. read more

A really fun Mexican option in the north end. Whether you are looking for a chill bar experience or just some Mexican food, this is an option for both. The place is very indoor/outdoor which is especially fun in the summer. The hot sauce options are diverse and they actually know how to bring the heat. You may wait awhile to get through the line, but once you make it the service is quick. Nothing amazing, but reliably good and decently priced too. read more

Meh. Big meh. Came here cause a friend heard about $1 taco Tuesday. I checked out the menu and was wary just from reading the meat descriptions, but I went with it. Elevating ground beef by saying it's Wagyu? Idk bro. Let's just do a carne asada and get it right. This place was wild busy. It was about 6:30 and the line was five parties deep. Inside was chaotic and super loud. It is not a spot for a first date or quiet dinner. Outside has little fire pits but they're mainly by your face, so your forehead is peeling off but the rest of you is cold. First world probs. The $1 tacos were not enjoyable at all. I got one of every kind except for the veggie. Each meat was cold. It is nice you can customize it with the order takers, but they rattle off options at you so fast that it's overwhelming to try and say anything other than "yes." The menu has a lot of interesting stuff so I'd consider going back for something else. I will not be back on a Tuesday--I know that much. read more

Ali and Beef took great care of our group, finding the game we wanted to watch despite being super busy. We will be back!

Great salsa. The $1 tacos barely had one bite of meat on each taco. Really upsetting. Just because the tacos are $1 doesn't mean you have to leave the meat off. Not enough meat to even put a thin layer across the whole tiny tortilla. read more

This is a fun place both inside and out back. There are tons of TVs for sports watching. The food selection was varied and good

Had to leave one star just for the sake of saving everyone elses' time. Bartenders are nothing but drunken assholes. Used to be amazing service, now they are there for their personal party purposes only. Rude and entitled, won't be recommending or going back. read more

I came on a Saturday morning and the goth girl with all the piercings was the rudest person I've ever met. She made me feel like an idiot when asking questions abt the menu and made my experience horrible! read more

This environment is a lot of fun in the summer, good simple tacos! I always enjoy going when it's warm and walking around the neighborhood, it's in a pretty area as well! read more

Excellent Smoked Chicken Burrito, Pleasant Ambiance and excellent service. Stopped in to watch the Olympics on the many big screened TVs inside & out. Enjoyed the island music and local hangout feel. We will be back! read more

10/10 every time! Great service, solid food, fun ambiance. Taco Tuesdays and Thursdays are always a hit.

Parrilla is such a fun place to go watch a game and hang out with friends! The food is great and there is so much to try! The staff is fun and bartenders are friendly ! You will become a regular before you know it ! read more

The dollar tacos on Tuesdays and Thursday's are unbeatable. Great spot to pregame if you are on a budget. Great staff. No better place to watch sports in Boise. read more

The employees were SO friendly and awesome! Especially because we showed up with a large group of us being totally unruly!

Food was so fast and yummy thank you for putting up with our works scavenger hunt! Loved the service we received. read more

Parrilla Grill - Scavenger hunt fun! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Delicious! There was a big group of us and the guys working there were so patient and accommodating. Huge burritos and the price was fair.

3.5 is probably more accurate at this time. I meet with a group regularly at different patios in town and we decided to try out Parilla's new patio after not getting a spot at other restaurants in Hyde Park. Parilla Grill is in a great central location in Hyde Park and has a lot of space, especially since adding the new patio. The atmosphere is definitely sports bar with lots of TVs and sports memorabilia. The owner is an MSU alum so you'll see Bobcats gear along with the typical Boise State and U of I stuff. I was definitely happy with the pricing, drink prices are on par with comparable places and they also do lots of deals including a nightly happy hour. I tried their huckleberry lemonade slushee and was happy. They do lots of well priced margarita options as well. Food is similar in price to places like Chipotle which is great for a local business. We ordered a nacho that was a little disappointing for the price, flavor was okay but I would have liked pico de gallo, guacamole, or some other fresh component. The burrito I split was good though and I'm interested in going for fish taco Friday. The new patio is beautiful. I love that they stayed true to being a sports bar and put TVs outside and that the patio has misters to keep things cool. There's a variety of seating options too, long bartop tables and Firepit tables are some highlights read more

Terrible experience the bartender asks people to tone it down during football season because her teams losing. She wears a Steelers jersey and rude af but when other teams cheer she says nothing to them she needs to get her priorities straight *Karen I was also threatened by the female bartender that if I kept acting like I was cheering for a football team I'd be kicked out , she's trash read more

How are they still open? Food wasn't great, the tacos are on flour tortillas (I didn't see that anywhere when I ordered) and lord almighty there are sooooooo many flies all over everything. read more

We have often relied on Parrilla to help feed our kids in a pinch while wandering Hyde Park. Normally we are pleased with the food, and have had consistently friendly service. Today we were really bummed after walking away with an exceptionally larger bill than anticipated. Our two little kids just wanted a couple of kid-sized tacos with only rice and guacamole, and a side of tater tots. My husband got a burrito. After a 20% tip, it cost nearly $40. Turns out the tacos were $10 plus an additional $3 for guacamole, and the tater tots (24 of them) was $9! (Not listed on the menu). We were super bummed by the prices and will be rethinking our visits there in the future. read more

The atmosphere is good. They have a lot of TVs for sports and a fairly good layout so most seats are considered good. The service at the bar is quick and fast. The $2 Tecates are hard to beat. However, the service for the food is SOOO slow (after it got busy people were waiting in line longer than 30 minutes). I got a bean and rice veggie bowl (for the third time) and each time it gets worse. The rice wasn't cooked through and it was hurting my teeth to eat it. I didn't even finish the food. It also did not taste good at all (the guacamole is TRASH). Chipotle is like heaven compared to this bowl of food. Will only return for the drinks and atmosphere AFTER I eat somewhere else. read more

Alec is the our "why" we love Parrilla Grill Downtown. The restaurant has a great vibe. The core values are in full display by the staff. The food is amazing. But those friendly efforts by Alec are spectacular for us. read more

Rude cook, undercooked food. I would not wish this experience on anyone. I used to eat here a lot and loved it, but I probably won't go back. 0/10 experience. Update: I have food poisoning. read more

Parrilla Grill - This cook was rude and undercooked my breakfast burrito. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Boise, Idaho

A really friendly, welcoming place. A great patio, reasonable prices and nice servers. Really great on a Sunday afternoon or evening!

Easily the rudest customer service that I have ever experienced in a restaurant or any other business. When I asked what the price difference was between a small and large burrito (there is only one price on the menu) the guy at the grill station responded with: "Well, a small is smaller and the large is bigger". realizing that he had mis-understood my question I said: "No, I was asking about the price difference" to which he responded: "No idea. I just make the food. I don't know what it costs." The guy was actually bordering on confrontational with me. We used to eat here a lot and it's been good but this definitely changed my opinion of the pace. read more

This is our favorite go-to. Dollar taco Tuesday's and Thursday's is always bomb. Great burritos and I highly encourage trying their gumbo or specialty burritos. The queso is to die for and their salads are even great. Basically it's a whole lot of great food, great people and great drinks. You can't go wrong with either the 13th street or downtown location. Both are great. read more

The bar is great, there's lot of TVs and the staff has been very nice recently. But, if you go stay away from the food.

There was a medical emergency situation at the restaurant with a customer in line, and there were no responses from the staff members. EMS was alerted, but most customers and staff alike had no response. It felt unprofessional and helpless for people to step around the patient and continue on to take orders. read more

This place is invigorating. I always go for 2 dollar tecates and boy my paycheck takes a real dent here since I pimp on the side. All the girls need 2 shots of Don 1942 before working their magic. I'm always wearing a fur coat, come say hi to gator ;) read more
