This restaurant is one of those places where you arrive and feel at home. The atmosphere is very pleasant, quiet and cozy, and from the moment you enter they receive you with a friendly attention that makes you feel welcome.
The food was delicious and flavorful. You can tell that it is made with love and that they seek to maintain that authentic touch of Colombian food that we like so much. The portions were generous, everything we tried was excellent.
The service also deserves to be highlighted. Suleima, I think that’s her name, she was very respectful and always aware that everything is fine, without making you feel rushed. That makes the experience even better and that you want to stay a little longer.
It is an ideal place to come with family or friends, enjoy good food and spend a pleasant time. Without a doubt, a restaurant worth visiting and recommending if you are looking for delicious, authentic Latin food and a pleasant atmosphere!

I loved this restaurant for my first stop for restaurant week 2026. The plantains and guacamole and flan were delicious! The Sanchoco de La casa was amazinggg— the meat was well cooked and made the soup very flavorful. Shout out to my server— Salamos. She was kind and helpful in helping me pick my dishes! Will be back!!

Unbelievable Colombian food! The arepas are a revelation, service is excellent, and the drinks hit the spot. Clean, with a great selection of meaty dishes. Bonus: as a picky Mexicano, their guacamole rivals most Mexican restaurants! So glad they’re in the hood! I’m already planning my next visit.

We had an amazing time at La Parrilla cafe. They have a restaurant and a cafe that are connected. We had the Spanish latte which was perfectly bold and smooth. Best latte we have had in a while. They also had small bites like arepas. They are dog friendly! Friendly staff & great service.

The staff is very attentive and friendly, the taste of the food delicious, on this occasion we tried the beef sancocho and very tasty. Natural juices are freshly prepared. The staff makes sure you feel comfortable, quiet place, set with the right volume of music so you can talk and taste the delicious and Latin food.

This cute restaurant has great food— we’ve had take out (chicken) a few times and always enjoyed it. This time we dined in and got to try the green plantains (so good!) with guacamole and the skirt steak (would get again). The portions are very shareable. There were happy hour specials and the classic margarita was solid.

If you’re in the area broadway edgewater you have to stop by this restaurant! I especially recommend their cozy coffee corner — it’s the perfect spot to relax and unwind. And you can’t miss the coconut cream matcha… absolutely delicious! Smooth, refreshing, and full of flavor. A must-try!

La Parrilla on Broadway is like a vacation in Colombia: the atmosphere, the music, the servers, and most of all, the FOOD! The servers Alicia and Saleni were knowledgeable and helpful and treated us like family. The menu is extensive and features some specialties not usually found outside Colombia, such as chocolate con queso — a Colombian style hot chocolate. Their signature dish, La Bandeja Paisa, is outstanding! La Parrilla is top-notch for delicious Colombian cuisine!

La Parrilla Latin Food is all about bold, grilled flavors and generous portions. The meats come out well-seasoned and nicely charred, with that smoky taste that makes everything feel hearty and satisfying. The sides complement the plates perfectly, adding color and balance without overpowering the main dish. The vibe is casual and welcoming, like a true neighborhood spot where comfort food is the focus. If you’re craving filling, flavorful Latin dishes in Chicago, this place definitely hits the mark.
