Puebla

About the restaurant

El Parrillaje Juarez is a restaurant that specializes in roasted meat and market-quality fresh seafood. The restaurant is warm and welcoming with plenty of both raw and stained wood used as decoration, which evokes the wood-fired grill that El Parrillaje Juarez uses in the back to cook up all of its hand selected proteins. The menu is rather large, with ten different sections each focusing on a different type of menu item. Appetizers include grilled sweetbreads, chistorra sausage and a charred bell pepper stuffed with octopus and manchego cheese.

All of foods were nice and staff were very kind. Upstairs floor were a little quiet and more private space, thus was nice too.

We love this restaurant , awe’ve been there a few times in CDMX, without any issues. My experience in the Puebla location was not great regarding the service. We ask multiple time for mineral waters and tortillas; We had left overs on two dishes, I asked our waiter to put them in a to go container but he trow it out, a manager came to say sorry and offered drinks to us.
