The pizza I got was very good! The staff was very attentive. I usually eat very casual dining, so this was a change of pace.

I remember when this place first opened up in Berwyn I was very excited to give it a try. Once I tried it, it lived up to its expectations. The staff is friendly, the owners were cool & genuine, and the best part was the food was great quality. I noticed it to be a bit pricey in comparison to Berwyn / suburban prices but in comparison to the City / Chicago prices it's pretty normal. I've have now gone a few times and have ordered something different every time I go I have not been disappointed. Same thing with their cocktails! Their description on Yelp is "Creative Cocktails" - they are not lying. It was an experience when I ordered my Old Fashioned and I was happy about it (haha). They also have a nice outdoor patio. Unfortunately, this place was so good I'm expecting them to raise their prices in the near future. Thank you La Parra, looking forward to being back soon! Personal Review: 8.8/10

I had a great time at La Parra! It's located in Berwyn and has street parking that I had no trouble finding right in front of the restaurant. They're known for their creative cocktails which they feature on their Instagram page. The staff right away were super friendly and welcoming and our waiter did a nice job of reviewing their current special cocktail menu. I ordered the "mezcalito" I believe he called it, which was made with mezcal, lime juice, and fresh fruit juices (I know one was passion fruit!). This drink was amazing and so up my alley since I loveee mezcal and anything fresh and sweet. The overall atmosphere felt casual and comfortable. Tapas are on the menu so shared meals are encouraged. I ordered the chicken a la limon but I swapped the mashed potatoes for crispy Yukons. The potatoes were pretty good and the chicken was cooked well. I wasn't entirely blown away with what I ordered, but it was a good meal and the drinks and service were definitely 5-star worthy

We really enjoyed our family dinner here. First time at La Parra. The patio seating was lovely because it's covered and warm. Plus it's not loud. Great variety of seafood, tapas, pasta and steak.

Tapas and pizza at the same place? But it tastes awesome? And a Spanish-speaking staff? And dinner for 2 with drinks was $40 per person?!? Yup, that's La Parra in a nutshell. We were heading into a show, so we needed something about an hour and a half before the performance. As it turns out, La Parra serves tapas within about 5-10 minutes of ordering, so we made our show with plenty of time to spare. The space was about half-full at our 5:30 reservation, and it never got too loud. As for the food... Veal and beef meatballs: deliciously tender, like you would hope veal would be (but as most people who have made meatballs know, you can't just throw two meats together and expect to get flavorful, tender meatballs). The sauce and shaved Parmesan added a little bit of spice and salt, respectively. Maybe I'd get two orders next time. Octopus: The tentacles were served around a small serving of gold potatoes, which were nicely flavored, but the octopus both tasted fresh and wonderfully marinated. Easily the best octopus-based dish I've ever had. Ordering tapas means you get room for dessert, so I got a torta de Chocolate, and my wife the coconut panacotta. The torta was great; the cake a bit on the heavy side but appropriately contrasted against the feathery-light mousse, leaving space for the sour raspberry sauce. And my wife's panacotta was solidly coconut-flavored, but having the texture of a tender, moist sponge. This was a great night in Berwyn. I'm looking forward to coming back.

My friends and I came here for my pre birthday celebration. Awesome restaurant. The waiter was great. We ordered so much delicious food, it was ridiculous. Everything was great. I will definitely be back.
