Great place to eat, food is fresh, authentic and reasonably priced. One of the best places we've visited in Cancun, great live entertainment and service. Lots of locals visiting which is a good sign. More

Although a bit off the beaten path, this place is worth the trip! Five tacos and fajitas were fantastic! Good margaritas and guacamole. The bananas flambé were fun to watch and delicious. More

Went here for lunch on a Saturday and caught a huge Mexican buffet spread. Got there as it opened, and everything was fresh, and being made before our eyes. Heard this place gets crazy at night, but was quite at lunch time. Potent Margaritas. Oh so tasty al pastor meat on a stick like gyros, only much better, with fresh... More

Great place to eat. We've heard there is a newer one, but the better one is supposed to be better. It is touristy, as they try to take your photo and sell it to you with sombreros, but a simple no and they are gone. The mariachi band is nice, but not if they are right in front of you,... More

From the tacos and burritos to the tequila shrimp and filet flamed in brandy, you can't go wrong at La Parilla. Consider having a late lunch/early dinner at their buffet Thurs. thru Sun. until 5 p.m. Great Caesar Salad, too! More

We had a nice dinner here, the food was good and the atmosphere was a lot of fun. A little touristy with them taking pictures of you in giant sombreros, but we had a great time. More

This was our second visit, the first having been December of 2009. Both visits were great. The first was a la carte, and the second was buffet. I am not a fan of buffets, but it was New Year's Day, and the a la carte menu was not an option for another hour. This was quite fortunate, as we tasted... More

La Parilla was recommended by the hotel staff at Marriot CasaMagna. They said that's where they go for authentic Mexican cuisine, so that's where we headed on day 2 of our vacation. It's in the downtown area, with a bustling restaurant scene around. We had made reservations through the hotel- make sure to do that or else, you'll be waiting... More
