I have been living in the same neighborhood for over 6 yrs now. There is a Mexican Grill up the road from me that my family frequents atleast once a month called, Monterrey Mexican Grill. They have two locations by I go to the one in Lawrenceville,Ga. When I tell you the food and service is so good, well you just have to believe me! It’s a very friendly atmosphere, you can sit back and relax with your family or come in and watch the game in the bar area. They have been in business for over 14 years.

I usually order the same thing and my kids but this time Augustine(Mgr) suggested we try something different. My hubby ordered the Fajitas Texana, which is a combination of steak, chicken and shrimp served with mexican rice,refried beans, lettuce,guacamole, sour cream and pico de gallo, & flour tortillas. I ordered the La La Lancha which is grilled chicken & shrimp, with melted cheese served with rice and avocado salad. My son ordered the burrito with refried beans and mexican rice.

Tasty drinks!

Their signature drink is the Texas Margarita and their home made Sangrias. Our food was great as always and we really enjoyed it. You should stop in to try some of their entrees located right down the road from Mall of Ga. They also cater!

I would like to thank Augustine for the hospitality and great customer service, everything was great!

I do alot of restaurant reviews atleast twice a week. I dont know how I’m ever going to loose weight but I’m praying about it. I’m such a foodie its ridiculous omg! Well today I was in Norcross,Ga shopping for some things when I spotted this fab restaurant called, La Parrilla. I went inside and spoke to the manager and he was happy to help me out.  Carlos was very friendly and told me he has been with the company for over 10 years. He is originally from Peru.

Carlos said that La Parrilla has been at that location for 1 year. They have lots of other locations in the south. I told him I loved Mexican food and would love to try it out. Normally, I am sent out by pr people but it smelled so good from the outside, I had to check it out lol.

He went over some of the most popular things on the menu and told me they were known for their margaritas. I’m not a drinker but I bet they taste good. I loved the spacious place and it was very clean and the staff were very friendly.  The waitress brought us out some La Parrilla Dip which was filled with cheese, shrimp,chicken,steak in it, and I almost lost my mind! It was soo good! My hubby usually goes with me to mostly all my reviews in the daytime. He even said he really enjoyed La Parrilla! We both looked at the menu and  finally narrowed it down to a fiesta salad for him and Burrito A La Parrilla for me. My hubby lost 15 pounds and he is trying to eat more healthy now.

I have been to alot of restaurants in these past 5 years and yup it’s the best Mexican restaurant so far. If your in the Norcross,Ga area please stop in and try it. They also cater and have room for private parties too. Thanks to the staff for having us, you guys did an amazing job!
