A menu built around tacos and traditional specialties
Grill-eria operates at 2309 W. Parmer Lane in North Austin. Its online menu lists tacos, burritos, soups, crispy tostadas, chilaquiles and other Mexican specialties, including pozole, menudo and tacos matamoros.
Among the menu’s featured plates are four rib-eye tacos served on homemade corn or flour tortillas with roasted bone marrow, grilled onion and guacamole. Co-owner Yaneth Herrera told Community Impact that the dish is one of the restaurant’s most popular offerings. The menu also lists chilaquiles with tortilla chips, refried beans, red or green salsa, a choice of protein, onions, cilantro, panela cheese and sour cream.
Herrera and Gameros share ownership
Herrera, a Monterrey, Mexico, native with a professional background in accounting, moved to Texas with her husband in 2007 and opened Grill-eria in 2023, according to Community Impact. She developed the restaurant with co-owner Gustavo Gameros.
Gameros is also associated with Folklore Artisanal Mexican Eatery, which has locations in New Jersey and New York. The company’s history says Folklore was named New Jersey’s Best Mexican Restaurant for five consecutive years before expanding to New York City.
The Parmer Lane site and next steps
The Parmer Lane property has had several restaurant tenants. Earlier Community Impact reporting said Carnitas El Güero opened there in September 2023 after replacing the Filipino fast-casual restaurant Carabao Express.
What the public inspection information shows
According to Austin Public Health, food businesses in Austin or Travis County must obtain a Food Enterprise Operating Permit to operate. The agency says pre-opening inspections evaluate whether construction or remodeling followed approved plans, whether the facility meets health-code requirements and whether equipment is installed and functional. The information cited here explains the city’s permitting and inspection standards but does not provide a Grill-eria-specific inspection result for the Parmer Lane location. It therefore does not establish a particular compliance finding for the restaurant.
Community Impact also reported that Grill-eria is considering additional outdoor seating with tables and umbrellas and may add special backyard items. The owners have discussed possible future locations in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Austin. The report said the restaurant serves diners from a range of cultural backgrounds, not only customers with ties to Monterrey or northeastern Mexico.
