Taqueria La Parrilla

About

This counter-service spot specializes in the regional Mexican cooking traditions that most chains ignore—expect slow-cooked moles, fresh masa preparations, and seafood preparations that reflect coastal techniques rather than Tex-Mex shortcuts. The kitchen treats the grill as its centerpiece, where they char proteins and vegetables with precision, and the beverage program reaches beyond basic margaritas to include mezcal selections that pair deliberately with the food. In a college town where casual Mexican food often means predictable, this place draws regulars who understand the difference between a restaurant that cooks Mexican food and one that actually understands it.
