La Parrilla Mexican Tapas Bar & Grill in Liverpool

NOT mexican food. They charge $$ for salsa that they serve on a plate with what resembles cinnamon pita chips. No fui capaz de comerla. Guacala.

Very good food, and the prices are not exaggerated! The music can be a little loud, but all in all it's bearable.

Lovely staff, the food can be a little inconsistent but is definitely worth a visit.

Lovely food and service was spot on. We would definitely go back.

We were in quite early in the evening so it was a bit quiet. Both the food and service were excellent

The food was decent, but I found the staff to be stressful and we didn't feel well. They had also added an extra charge to the bill.

Staff were quite rude and abrupt. Food was average and limited GF options, I had chili which they would t swap the tortilla for rice when I asked. We asked for sparkling water for the table they brought a 500ml bottle and one glass. They 'don't do' large bottles.

Big booking, we all know they can be a little bit chaotic at times. The staff were amazing, really attentive, and the food was fantastic as usual. The cocktails always the star of the show! Highly recommend! (Bold street La Parilla)

Freshly cooked calamari was so moreish, the burrito was massive and tasty. Good value for money and am a repeat customer

Great food! Authentic Mexican restaurant ❤️

great place to eat , drink friendly staff and cheap prices

Cosy venue with great service and varied menu. Recommend the home made hot sauce!

Best place for food on bold street

Thank you for making my daughter's birthday very special .My daughter who was 16 this week went with her 3 freinds for a meal there last night and was well looked after and your staff made a fuss over her and her freinds. Unfortunately I was not invited ,as it's uncool to let your parents come, but ok for me to pay😂but I have had the same experience many times as a regular. Again thank you

Came for dinner. The restaurant was a bit too dark and gloomy. Nachos were lovely but main was absolutely massive could’ve fed two people and wasted loads. Chicken and chorizo was overdone and dry. The dip tray was presented nicely but tasted like it was out of a jar rather than fresh e.g. runny salsa with no fresh bits, same with the guacamole. Took some home to eat but was inedible. Really disappointed:(

The food is not Mexican, we ordered a burrito and nothing to see. Neither did the music they played while we were in the place (it was varied with a lot of Spanish and flamenco music among them). The staff is good, attentive and attentive.

Fabulous food The staff are amazing what a wonderful restaurant we will definitely be back

Loved it! Lots of choice on the menu for both food and drink. Really tasty food, the wings and the nachos were great.

Lovely little Mexican restaurant with delicious food. Definitely a place to go.

The best fajitas I've ever eaten. I wouldn't get the portobello mushroom starter as it's more like 3 flat mushrooms rather than a portobello mushroom with grated cheese on top. However, great service and the best fajitas I've ever eaten. A good range of food and drinks. We will definitely be back.

Visited on the 1st June. Food and drinks were lovely. Staff very attentive.

This was a very average experience. The food was ok and the kids meals were good value for money however the service was pretty poor. On arrival the waiter didn't offer a kids menu even though we had two children with us. Thankfully I'd seen the menu beforehand online so I knew they offered one. I ordered tapas which arrived at the same time as my kids starters so it was cold by the time their mains arrived. The chips were overcooked and the kids meals were way too spicy. The tapas is pretty expensive for such small portions. It was pretty busy but everything seemed like too much effort for the waiters/waitresses and keep an eye out as they automatically add service charge to your bill.

Large portions but not particularly Mexican

Went midweek evening time. It was dark dingy with rickety sticky tables that we had to ask the waiter to fix. Had to ask repeatedly for water. Ordered cocktails that were watery and had hardly any alcohol. Not cheap at nearly £10 each! Food was mediocre I had a steak and there was a huge supplement for this on top of the early evening special price. Steak itself was ok cooked well but the rest was yuck! Over spiced soggy chips and some chopped up kind of veg that was passed off as a salad. Previously visited the South Road branch and enjoyed. But this was seriously disappointing. Felt like I needed a shower when I left yuck!

Food here is amazing. Really authentic mexican food full of flavour. What I really liked is that there is loads of options for vegetarians. The atmosphere is lovely, we were sat outside, which was perfect for the lovely weather. The location is fantastic. Service was good, but a little slow, but we could see the waiter was quite busy. Would definitely recommend coming here, fantastic food and great value.

Absolutely terrible restaurant. Ordered a steak Mexican dish tasted and looked like I was eating leather in a bowl of canned veg and gravy. Was tempted to walk it back to the kitchen and make them try it for their opinion. In the running for the worst meal I've ever had in my life especially considering the price. All dishes are £20+ and belong in the bin. Not only that but we waited 1.5 hours for all of the food. The reviews on here have to be fake! Avoid at all costs!!

Bland food, non-existent service (at no point did anyone come to check on us) and a very dead atmosphere. I wouldn't go again.

Don't go there not only is the food far far too expensive for what it is the drinks are terrible sangria and the cocktail I had was like watered down fruit juice so so disappointed 😞.

La parrilla has a warm, cosy, and relaxed feel, We had the chilli in a taco basket, which came quickly and was very nice, and we had a beer each, no desserts The cost was app' £50.

Great food, great drinks, great service and great atmosphere!

Was a great stop off for us as a family 3 adults had 3small and 3 large from the tapas 2 kids meals and side each for the smalls. Was more than happy with the portions sizes and the chilli cheese balls some of best I’ve had yet! Could have come back if we had more time but defo will be visiting again.

Food was nice - flavours were okay I wouldn't say it is authentic cuisine but it definitely settles your cravings for mexican food. The everest nachos are very good, flavours were very balanced. Cocktails were very expensive in my opinion but very nice if you are looking to just try 1.

Great Mexican, made to feel welcome and food was delicious. Will definitely visit again.

During our recent visit to Liverpool, we decided on giving this place a try. The website had the early bird menu available between 4.00pm - 7.00pm so we got there at 6.15. We had a look at the restaurant menu which said the early bird menu was 12.00 - 6.00pm. We decided to stay as we really fancied some Mexican food. Unfortunately, despite the large portion sizes, the food was lacking in authenticity. Quite mild and bland to be honest. Not somewhere we will be going back to unfortunately.

Good food and service best on Bold St.

Perfect food, service and reasonably priced.

food amazing highly recommended 👌

Absolutely fantastic food and staff were so helpful, welcoming and friendly, amazing value for money and cocktails are 10/10, will be back again

Fantastic meal and great service 👍🇲🇽

My wife and I went here for a late lunch, and we loved it. The staff were very welcoming, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was fun with the upbeat music and Mexican decor. The portions were so big, we had to get some of our main meals boxed up to take home. Just reheated them and ate them, and they were just as delicious as before.

Good food, although not 100% authentic. I ordered taquitos and was served a chimichanga. The flavors were good anyhow.

Great little place.Lovely staff and food

Fantastic! Great food, great service, great atmosphere.

Great atmosphere, but above delicious dishes. Highly recommended!

I enjoyed it. The chicken with the chorizo mash was very good, add asparagus and it would be even better 😉

Amazing place to eat. I am eating leftovers from the dinner that’s how great the portion was. Definitely best ON BOLD STREET

Pretty underwhelming mexican food, it does state on their menu that all of their food is made mild, so if you like any spice you have to say.... Still, I ordered the "mexican chicken wings" and I'd be surprised if they even seasoned them with salt? The salad that came with them was basic shredded iceberg lettuce and some bell peppers, and a stodgy lump of yellow rice, for £15.95. I did ask for some spicy sauce after trying the wings, and they brought me some nice salsa with fresh chillis but apart from that, I wouldn't say it's anything to write home about and I definitely won't be trying it again.

Beautiful food top notch staff brilliant

Excellent authentic Mexican food 👌

Loved it. Super delicious food :)

Took my daughter here for her birthday and the chicken fajitas were disgusting! She took one bite and spat it out, she didn’t want me to make a fuss as it was her birthday so we asked them to wrap the mains up to go as the starters had filled us up. I couldn’t eat mine either the chicken had a disgusting taste! The salsa and sour cream were disgusting too, avoid!!

I’m going to try and be fair as I can with this review but it’s not great. The main thing that went wrong is due to the level of service being so poor, we were given beef enchiladas even though we ordered VEGETARIAN enchiladas. Now the above is the biggest one and a VERY bad one. Just off the back of that I wouldn’t recommend. They did give us the whole bill off and we swiftly left. But that doesn’t make up for the fact we ate meat as a veg couple. Other things - I asked for their watermelon daiquiri. They gave me a strawberry daiquiri. Just shows their low level of service. Their food was very bland and the guacamole as well as other parts were not fresh. The venue itself and the cocktails were nice but overall I would say not worth it.

Fantastic food and brilliantly friendly service all at a reasonable price!

Went on Saturday evening. Really enjoyed the cosy atmosphere and the friendly staff. Some really nice food with a large menu. Delicious guacamole and salsa. Well portioned starters and main. Will go again

Very average food, overpriced for the quality.

Came on a Saturday evening about 5pm. Place was busy but had tables available. Service was great and food came quick. Quality of the food was amazing, proper authentic Mexican and big portions. Lovely atmosphere and not too expensive.

Authentic Mexican Restaurant. We spontaneously went Into this restaurant when going to grab dinner. We got sat down really quickly and the staff were nice. After we ordered the restaurant go abit more busy and I saw they had to turn people away who weren't booked. Though we then found it was a long wait untill our food came out reaching over 45 minutes, we didn't mind at the time as we were happy catching up with friends. Though once food came we had mixed reviews on them we found some foods were better portioned for the price than others and all together they all tasted good. The drinks were well priced though with a good selection of soft drinks, spirts and cocktails.

food was great, staff are really nice coming here more often.

Basic basic "Mexican" food cooked by indians

If actually say 3.5, but no halves on google. Very accommodating staff, knew when to come round and didn't try and force anything on us. Food was good, nothing more/less to say. I had the swordfish which honestly was similar to cod, but it was cooked great, fantastic sauce. Drinks may require a mortgage to afford (£4 for a coke...??) Atmosphere was nice. Could do with more non-dining space such as loos (only 2 for the entire upper floor) and seats at the bar as if you're not sitting at your table, you may feel you're getting rushed.

Terrible customer service from ‘Jimmy’ would not return.

Nous avons pris notre repas du réveillon du jour de l'an à La Parrilla. Nous nous sommes régalés. Les plats étaient copieux et le service très agréable et sympathique. Très belle expérience de nourriture mexicaine.

Awful. We left, and they agreed.

Decent place doesn't do the early evening menu in December but a 'Christmas Menu' which is basically the early evening at a more expensive price. But twenty quid for two courses is still decent. Enjoyed our visit and am likely to return.

The worst meal we have ever had Braised lamb Christmas menu Came on a big bone covering chips and gravy . All like mush … just warm and all cooked in the microwave Cold in the middle Asked for rice Came out clumped in a ball full of raw onion 🧅 Desert was again microwaved the heaviest sticky toffee pudding on earth Awful … left most of it I will never go here again Feel physically sick 🤢

Boss! Best Mexican in Liverpool x

Great food, great service, great cocktails. Plus a tree through to the first floor. Very good value early bird two course deal.

Inauthentic and overpriced for what you get. Think Tuesday night old el passo. Really wouldn't bother. Nb good friendly service though.

Superb vegetarian choice on the menu, fabulous cocktails and a great atmosphere. Thoroughly recommend here 👍

Very nice visit and the food was excellent.

The food is ok but overpriced. Service is terrible.

It was pretty average. Nothing special especially for Vegan people! You will be eating pretty much the same thing whatever you order. We didn't find much Tapas Options as well. Ambience and atmosphere is good.

Delicious meal, genorous portions and reasonable price. What's not to like? Will return.

Basic Mexican Food. La Parrilla is located in the middle of Bold Street and has been in Liverpool for a number of years and I finally decided to try it for lunch with my friends. I went on a Sunday afternoon and they offer an ‘early bird menu’ which runs between 12pm-6pm on a Sunday. This offer consists of a starter and a main course from a selected set of dishes on the menu for £15.95. For certain items in this offer you need to pay an additional cost. I ordered the ‘Authentic Mini Basket’ for my starter and the ‘Enchiladas’ as my main. The Mini Basket is true to its name, it tasted nice but nothing particularly stood out to me with this dish. For the Enchiladas I ordered spicy chicken but it didn’t taste spicy, if anything very mildly spicy considering it’s Mexican. I was a bit disappointed with the enchiladas but the chicken was nice and tender. Overall, the service was good and the food wasn’t bad but not outstanding in any way. I probably won’t come here often as the flavours seem to be lacking.

lovely place. has a great atmosphere, and the staff are always happy to help!! Most importantly, the food is excellent!

Great restaurants on Bold Street

Food was ok, service and atmosphere a bit better. Overall was a little disappointed.

El lugar es lindo y divertido, sus cócteles son buenos pero la comida está muy lejos de tener el verdadero sabor mexicano.

A dire il vero pensavo fosse un ristorante spagnolo, lo abbiamo ordinato, tutto ottimo, lo chef conosce questo lavoro, lo consiglio a tutti. Marcello

Overpriced, flavourless food. Chicken dryer than the Sahara. Couldn't actually have the tapas because they don't do it every day so I got a few starters all around £8 each. I were thinkin, I either must get a decent portion or it's really good quality food, cooked to perfection but it was neither. Most underwhelming Mexican I've ever had to waste my time and money on

Good service. Ok Mexican food, chicken fajitas need some more seasoning. Food is only worth it when it’s on the £15.95 for two courses deal. ALSO, I ordered a dessert cocktail called FBI which is something, Tia Maria, Baileys and a scoop of ice cream. You would have thought it would be an Affrogato, but what arrived was a milky Bailey substance in a massive pina colada cocktail glass with a heavy squirt of tin can spray cream on top. Very mediocre looking. Whatever happened to the scoop of ice cream ? 🤷🏽‍♀️ very disappointed with this cocktail.

The place is nice, the food has good presentation but I personally didn't like the taste.

Great service, fabulous food and amazing atmosphere. Highly recommend

Walked past and decided to pop in, literally the only person in here. Ordered some bbq ribs as a starter and the fillet steak with wedges for the main. Eating the steak was an experience in itself, it literally melted in my mouth, the wedges were on another level. Will 100% be coming back here again.

Pretty bland average Mexican food, far too much coriander in all the meals unfortunately, lacks taste or authenticity, fajitas very disappointing and the guacamole was from a bottle and tasted disgusting

Authentic Mexican cuisine, though it didn't stand out as particularly special to me. The menu featured classic Mexican dishes that one might expect, but there wasn't anything distinctive that set it apart from other Mexican restaurants I've visited. The flavors in the food were true to Mexican culinary traditions, offering a mix of familiar tastes that were satisfying but didn't bring a unique twist or memorable experience. The service was efficient, and the atmosphere had a typical Mexican restaurant vibe, complete with colorful decor and lively music. While the restaurant didn't leave a lasting impression on me, it could be a good option for those seeking straightforward and familiar Mexican dishes. It's a place where you can enjoy a casual meal with standard Mexican flavors, though it may not be the destination for those looking for an extraordinary dining experience.

Fabulous little place, great food and the staff are so attentive and welcoming. Thank you!

Only went once but didnt find it to be authentic Mexican 🇲🇽 , guacamole was just blended avacado no taste and the steak fahitas were disappointing, the steak was like a boot ! The service and ambiance was not bad.

I had the fajitas and they were good. Some of the other dishes actually looked more interesting though. I'd ask the wait staff for recommendations.

Food was good, didn’t Wow me like the reviews were stating. Tasted like something I could put together from a El Paso box. Atmosphere and service was really good. Presentation was decent too, especially the cocktails! 4/5 probably wouldn’t come back as I would like to try other restaurants in the area.

Been here before and love it. This time we ordered burritos. Tasted good but mean portions for the money £17. Came home and needed toast. Not good!

Both times I've been here I have enjoyed my meals and cocktails. There is a good range of dishes on the menu. Although it is a bit pricey, the atmosphere is nice and I would go back.

Really good Mexican food, you can't go wrong here

My partner wanted Mexican food for her birthday so we made the trip to Liverpool after seeing good reviews. Unfortunately we were very disappointed with the food. We thought she ordered a burrito bowl but when they came out with a plate of tacos and we asked questions they spoke down at us. The chicken was unfortunately very dry and tasted like it had been reheated. Unfortunately we got chicken nachos, chicken enchiladas, and the chicken ‘tacos’ we didn’t want so we were stuck with dry chicken throughout. The spicy Mexican tomato sauce was overpowering everything and made it all taste the same. We ended up picking at the food, paying, then going somewhere else to eat. Waste of money and more so put a damper on the birthday celebrations.

Good quality food, but it’s not even close what a Mexican food taste like.

Great food and drink at excellent prices.

Food is great but the service is terrible there are far too many servers and they rush you. You will have people hovering over you as you eat and swiping the plate away before you have finished. It was very overwhelming and although we enjoyed the food we just wanted to leave the entire time. We were made to feel like a burden.

The decoration here was really amazing and lovely. The portion size here is really satisfying. You are definitely gonna enjoy it. We had burritos, salsa,halloumi fingers and steak and drinks to make it complete. The food was really delicious and yummy. The staff were also kind and friendly. I would really like to visit this place again.

amazing service and to die for mexican food. if you like sangria and margaritas then this is the place for you. The staff are so accommodating and very fast also so friendly. Jimmy was a great host to us!!

Absolutely loved this place. I really liked the mexican music and design, very very nice and chilled atmosphere. The food was delicious, we ordered Chilli and Enchiladas and we were very pleased with our choice.
