La Parrilla Yucatan Mexican Food is a restaurant in sunny Ventura, CA that serves up traditional food from the Mexican state of YucatΓ‘n. Run by the hardworking Lopez family, La Parrilla specializes in dishes 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 mom sold panuchos on the street, which is where Victor learned his uncompromising work ethic. Victor began selling hot dogs at a food cart of his own, and It is at that food cart where Victor fell in love with Deflina in a beautiful story of love at first sight. Now, Victor and Delfina run La Parrilla in Ventura with the help of their sons Eyder and Emanuel, as well as their nephew Walter.

Born and raised in Ventura and there are a lot of Mexican food restaurants to choose from. This is not the best of what Ventura has to offer, please check out Corrales to see what Ventura is about.

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.
Love it! They are living the American dreamβHeading down manana from Santa Barbara, food looks incredible π
My favorite restaurant in Ventura! The food is amazing.
Que orgullo de familia Mexicana β€ esa Cochinita Pibil is the real deal! Viva Mexico, Viva USA! β€

Weβve been coming here since they opened and it is really truly the best Mexican food. Also the owners are super nice and welcoming.
Love La Parrilla! Such great people and food! Hi Wally!
immigrants make america great
Very, very heartwarming. A family that has Our Lord, that has each other, busting their butts to succeed from the ground up, immigrating for the American dream. Cannot express the importance of all that. These are the videos we love to see. And the foods is pretty good tooπ
I hope nothing but good things happen to these people.
