La Parrilla Yucatan Mexican Food is a restaurant in sunny Ventura, CA that provides conventional food from the Mexican state of Yucatán. Run by the hardworking Lopez family, La Parrilla concentrates on meals like cochinita pibil, birria, carne asada, seafood molcajetes, and flan. The story of this restaurant traces back to a small town in Mexico, where Victor and Delfina Lopez are from. Victor's mommy sold panuchos on the street, which is where Victor learned his uncompromising work principles. Victor began selling hot dogs at a food cart of his own, and It is at that food cart where Victor fell for Deflina in a lovely story of love at first sight. Now, Victor and Delfina run La Parrilla in Ventura with the aid of their boys Eyder and Emanuel, as well as their nephew Walter.

Speaking English is important.

I live in Ventura now and spent 9 years living in the Yucatan Peninsula. This place is even better than many of the best restaurants in Mérida. So glad to have it close to home. Anytime I’m craving Cochinita Pibil I go here and it neeeeever misses the spot! Great restaurant!!

Holy smokes I was born in raised in Ventura Ca and currently live in Georgia. I LOVE seeing my home town on this channel. I miss it so much 😢
This place is down the street from me! Vta ftw!
Let’s go 805!
This is what it is all about! I myself am a 1st generation Mexican/American in California. When I graduated college my parents were bawling their eyes out because I achieved something they never could have in the motherland. I am proud to say I love Mexico because it is my roots, but I am also proud to be American for giving me the opportunity to provide for my family 🇲🇽🇺🇸
I’ve lived in Ojai and Ventura for many years and had never heard of this place! This video has made quite an impact on me. As a former professional chef, I can see that the food here is not only quality but made with love. I shall be dining there very soon! Muchas gracias y amor a todos ustedes! 🙏🙏
It’s beautiful to see an honest family live the American dream!!!!
I’ve eaten here and they’re not exaggerating about how good this place is
I live in Ventura and can confirm their enchiladas de mole(my all time favorite dish) are fire!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
THIS FAMILY’S JOURNEY AND HARD WORK IS WHAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT. OUR FABRIC IS WOVEN STRONGER BY THEM. GOD BLESS .
its the homie Eyder!! used to workout with him years ago. Glad to see they are still doing great with their business! Good food!
Im a local, can’t believe i never heard of it. I will eat there
I have been telling people since I moved to Ventura that this place has THE BEST Mexican food! Glad to see that others agree. This family is wonderful, hard working, and very kind people. Everything on the menu is a hit. And they make the best Jamaica I have tasted in all of California. Glad to see them getting their props!
La Barilla Yucatan is a great example of how a hardworking family made their own version of the American Dream come to life. The secret to success is not a secret. Combine great work ethic, years of persistence in building a respected local business, and total commitment to consistent quality and customer satisfaction. Love this place.
