La Parrilla Latin Food

La Parrilla Latin Food in Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood impresses with its vibrant Colombian-inspired menu, featuring standout dishes like the perfectly grilled steak paired with flavorful plantains and rice, or the crispy empanadas bursting with savory fillings, all served in a beautifully designed space with colorful murals and a welcoming family-run vibe that makes every visit feel special. The portions are generous and prices reasonable, with options like arroz con pollo and fresh ceviche that deliver authentic Latin flair, complemented by friendly service and a lively atmosphere ideal for casual dinners or gatherings, though some items like the beans could use a bit more seasoning for that extra punch, and busy times might mean a short wait—overall, it’s a delightful spot that consistently hits the mark on taste and charm, earning a solid four stars.

I travel all the way from Wisconsin to come to this restaurant. It has great Customer Service and very delicious food 😋

Love this Colombian restaurant! The food was delicious and very fresh. We had the Chicharrón con arepa (uffff, excellent!😋) and empanadas de carne (😋) as our side dish. For drinks (happy hour 4pm-7pm) we had 4 margaritas (regular and maracuya(passion fruit)) and a Blue drink. 🍹🍹. Our main meal, Bistec a la Criolla and a Jibarrito steak. Excellent taste. They have a great cook that knows how to put flavor in a Colombian dish. The young lady that attended us ( Miss Saleny) was very attentive to our needs and wants, also an excellent bartender. 🥂 Amazing service and food. This establishment gets five (🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟) stars from me all day. Highly recommend this place. Food is made fresh on the spot. Go try it out.

I caught a glimpse of a lunch special posted on the front window of the La Parilla Restaurant located on (Irving Park and Narragansett) while running errands. I ordered the chicken and my husband ordered the steak lunch special. The lunch special comes with your choice of chicken or steak, white rice, black beans and salad. We loved it! It was very tasty and tender. The flavors and spices of these Columbian dishes will definitely bring us back for more. We started with empanadas as appetizers. He had the empanada de carne and I had the chicken empanada. Simply delicious.

One of my favorite spots! La Parrilla is such a vibe—the decor is super cute and authentically Colombian. It feels like you’re stepping into a little piece of Colombia. I had the carne asada with maduros, rice, beans, salad, and a natural guanábana shake (that’s soursop in English!)—everything was delicious. The flavors were on point, and the food was fresh and full of love. The service was outstanding, and the whole place gives off a warm, family-friendly atmosphere.

Just a heads-up: there’s no parking lot, only street parking, so plan ahead if you’re visiting during busy hours.
Highly recommend for a cozy, authentic Colombian experience! 🇨🇴
