That was until I recently found out that they had renovated and added a dining area. We arrived around noon on a Saturday. As soon as you walk in, there's a counter where you place your order, and the rest of the space is the dining room. It's a fairly large space, with two picnic tables in the middle surrounded by regular tables. The dining area was about half full when we arrived. When placing our order, we were told about a new smoked brisket ramen noodle dish they were trying out. This sounded intriguing, but since it was our first time here, we wanted to get what they're known for: their sandwiches. Maybe next time. We ordered: 2 x Smoked Brisket Sandwiches 1 x Reuben 1 x Large Fries The Brisket Sandwiches were incredible. The brisket was smoky and tender, with just the right amount of sauce. The Montreal smoked meat in the Reuben was a little dry and there wasn't enough sauerkraut, but overall, it was decent. If we're in the area, I would definitely eat here again. I'm not sure about ordering the ramen, though, since there are so many more sandwiches to explore, like the Philly Cheesesteak and the Mr. Rib, not to mention the burgers.

We also had the Reuben and a Brisket poutine. The poutine and rib sandwich were our favourites. Was a little on the pricey side but quality was good. Lots of seating and cool vibes (love the Anthony Bourdain poster) with 90s hip hop music playing. We ordered on the self service machine and they called us to the counter to pick up the food when ready.

But not much waiting needed as I guess most people get take out. If dine in, they take your order at the table and the service was friendly overall.

We ordered a platter for 4 to feed 3 adults and 2 hungry kids and we have plenty to spare for leftovers. Some of us also ordered the individual build your own, which is also quite affordable and reasonably priced. My fav has to be the ribs and brisket. The Mac and Cheese disappeared quickly. The staff was really friendly and helpful and there was plenty of seating on a Sunday evening when we dined as a group of 8. Asked everyone's rating at our table, they gave this experience a 4.5-5 stars all around. Definitely a spot we don't mind returning to!

So I figured it was an excellent time to give Southeast Sandwiches a try. I decided to get a sandwich with Moo-Nila (braised beef) and I got that with almost all the toppings.

It's an extremely messy concoction but it's packed with tasty toppings and delicious tastes. The meat is super tender and packed with flavor. Every bite was just a complete winner. It kind of reminded me of a banh mi but one that's been supercharged in an epic way. I'd eat this sandwich once a week for the rest of my life, if I could.

La Parrilla is a small takeout restaurant that's big on flavours! The food is meticulously prepared…read moreto order fresh from the grill. What is the meaning of 'parrilla' you might ask? It's a traditional form of Argentinian barbecue on the open fire. I've tried Brazilian rodizio and Venezuelan arepas but that was near the extent of my Latin American foray so it was exciting to taste the cuisine at this hidden gem. The must-get menu item is their charcoal grilled chicken. It's sort of akin to Portuguese chicken but in comparison the meat here is more juicy and better seasoned. The half chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender with slightly smoky flavours, then even tossed in chimichurri sauce. Perhaps greasy yet each meaty bite is satisfying! Honourable mention also goes to their empanadas. A pretty sight: golden baked crust folds over the fresh beef filling, that might be even better by the dozen. And at their price point, I can see why guests generally agree La Parrilla is a 5-star visit. I ordered ahead and the food was ready for pickup upon arrival to avoid any wait. Owner Serge was friendly about offering an extra sauce on the side along with chimichurri tossed on the chicken. Definitely get that sauce, as it adds dimensions to the asado / grilled meat. It's not easy for family businesses to operate these days, so I applaud that La Parrilla charcoal churrasqueria continues to offer top notch food from this little plaza.

They have other food options but you can choose bbq anytime of the day. Choose your beef and others. Each person has to order one meat, they do have lots of side dishes as you can see in the photo that comes with it. You can also order more side dishes if needed for free! The server was also kind enough to close the electric blinds since the sun was shining on my friend's face. This restaurant has lots of seats (benches) available and all seats come with a stove in case you order bbq. The place gets a bit dim once the blinds go down. There's a storm door to go through to enter the restaurant. The decor is minimal, has the kbbq vibe with wooden benches. The best meat is absolutely the boneless short rib! As per my friend's recommendation :) I will definitely be coming here again. I already can't wait to go!

I ordered the vegan set but my server brought all the toppings with fish sauce and proceeded to ask me "How vegan I was?"... I am not sure how to answer this as I am simply vegan.

Maybe won't be back for the vegan options as they asked that question.
