Reviews La Parada

Excellent and authentic Mexican food. Atmosphere was like no other place I've been. Service was wonderful with a little language issue. I don't speak Spanish and it was a tad difficult to understand the waitress, but we figured it out 😁

Seriously, stop here. It’s so delicious. Tamales are amazingly fresh. Just like abuela would make for Christmas, I swear. The empanadas are so AMAZING. Best empanadas I’ve ever had, hands down. The elote is great too. Just do yourself a favor and stop in.

They have some really excellent food A lot of variety and choices in the menu. Their patio wasn't open yet for the summer when I went but it looks like it would be an amazing place to sit it has a graveview of the city. Really great date night Place… and most of all the food is just about as cheap as you can find anywhere money wise that you're going to eat. I doubt you could even eat Taco Bell for the price that they charge for their delicious food. We had 4 adults and one child and with all of the Drinks and food included it still only ended up being around $75. When you want to cheap night out but also want to eat really good Mexican food this is your spot.. I would say much better than El Mason where I normally go.

Ok, I’d rather not reveal this place, but can’t help it. Authentic Mexican food - birria, caldo, chile rellonos, tamarindo etc. Yes, everything tastes great - they use lard! Very bright and cheerful, quick service. Can be busy and not a huge place. Good crowd from all over, Spanish heard everywhere. Even the police like this place. Prices very reasonable - plates about $10 to $12 dollars. Abundant parking!

Very good down to earth food and service. Deztiny was a great server. She was awesome.

IMPRESSED by everything! We were genuinely greeted upon arrival at 11:30ish for lunch and seated immediately. It was soon following that the place was full. Waiting for our food to arrive while stuffing the warm chips and awesome salsa in our face, we noticed many plates with a whole fish go by us that looked delicious. We want to go back to try that (besides a number of other dishes). Also while waiting and observing, we saw a sign that they have birria tacos. I've heard so much about them, that we plan on going back to try those. Can hardly wait. Another thing, we both have never found a molé sauce that we like or would eat. We have asked to taste the molé sauce where ever we have been, even Mexico in the past with no luck. We asked for a taste here and finished the whole sample they gave us. It was so good. Again, another dish we plan on going back for soon. Meanwhile, we got our food very promptly. Our server was very good and attentive. Our food was beautifully presented. I ordered the Shrimp Fajitas asking that the vegetables be cooked longer than normal, which they did just that. It were so flavorful and the shrimp were very flavorful, plentiful, juicy and cooked perfectly (not muchy or chewy at all). The salad plate provided plenty of delicious Pico, lettuce, flavorful guacamole and sour cream. Rice and beans were plentiful and flavorful. The tortillas were toasted, thick and warm. Very, very happy with my choice. Hubby got Chicken Enchiladas Verde and was very pleased. Portions are very healthy! The whole time, our server constantly checked back and always asked if everything was okay and kept our drinks full. We both brought home some serious leftovers. I would like to add that the whole time we were there, the lady that was cashier, handling to go orders and helping out in general was cleaning the restaurant every second. Being in prior management, this REALLY impressed me. You just don't see this practice much any more. I also saw many employees hit the hand sanitizer more than once out front as well. Kudos to owner, management and employees. Please keep up the good work. You have a huge fan in my husband and I! BTW...There is plenty of free on site parking.

The food is great! Good customer service. Nice atmosphere. Things I didn’t like: 1. They had a guy playing music and he came to our table and he asked us if we want him to sing for us and we said go ahead and he told us that he works for tips. We told him that we don’t have cash so he left to sing to other tables. That was kind of weird and off. 2. They have 4 tables in the middle side by side where you sit near strangers which ones again was off for me. I go out to have dinner with my husband and I don’t want to sit at a table with 7 to 10 other people I don’t know. 3. The chicken in my taco was way too salty.

The food was delicious 😋 and it was full of taste. I would always drive by it. Now I'm going to stop in there to try new things. They were very nice people there. Best customer service I ever had from a restaurant. Thanks you guy's from the lady with the sky blue 💙 hair.

every time i go here the food is fire. the portions are good. they have a wide variety of selection. the arroz con steak is clutch. they always lather it up with hella queso so 🤌 theres a lot of competition for this kind of food on the east side; and while its good competiton, this ones my favorite. they're well staffed, kind, efficent, well priced, clean - try it out. its always buzzing and the resteraunt always seems full of people; a good sign, as the food also always tastes fresh in my experience.
