Hustle and bustleWhen I first moved to Bend I had a hard time trying to figure out what exactly was going on at the Parrilla Grill, located at the 14th Street and Century Drive roundabout. It looked like a neighborhood bar, but outside in the parking lot there was a massive clothing sale going on, so for a few days there last year I thought it sold skiing apparel.
A couple of weeks later, when I peered through the windows and noticed people were eating inside, I decided to venture into Parrilla and see what the place with the "Sorry, We're Open" neon sign was all about. After spending the better part of seven years living in North Carolina, where good Mexican food is about as easy to come by as good home-made fried chicken is in Bend, I was pleasantly surprised to learn Parrilla offers an experience of epic proportions.
