First time visiting this restaurant! We really liked the food. The restaurant has few tables inside but they also have outdoor seating. The interior was cozy and reflected the Latino culture. We want to come back a try other menus. Staff was also friendly :)
One of my favorite restaurants in all of SF. I got the pastelon which was very solid. The sides it comes with are very good too. Other people got the bistec, mofongo, and chicken - they said all were amazing. I'll probably try the bistec next time.
Only downsides Is that it's kinda small inside with limited seating. Also prices went up like $4 across the board since a year ago but it is what it is. Still highly recommend!!
Have been here many times and am craving it now! I am not vegetarian but love their vegetarian plate. The yucca is so flavorful and you get salad, beans, and rice. I've also gotten the chicken and the pork and meat is flavorful, moist, and the meat portions are generous. I like sitting outdoor in the parklet. The only negative is if you sit outside, there are sometimes people smoking outside by the bar near by, especially in the evening,but you can always sit inside if needed.
Excellent, fresh, perfect portions to continue to see the city. It's more Cuban than Puerto Rican, I miss my CT Boriqua....Tito's Place, Comerio, C-Town....Soncocho Soup....Parada 22 is a little more fancy than I'm in to, I was looking for accuperria and Pinchos
Incredible flavors, new textures, a reasonable price
I came here with a friend for dinner last night. Each dish was packed full of flavor!
I had the camarones salad which had a pile of shrimp, tons of avocado, and a delicious garlic cilantro dressing.
We also ordered a side of mofongo with slow cooked pork on top which recommended to us from the waitress.
My friend got the chicharones de Pollo which was nice and crispy with a cornmeal breading.
The service was excellent too. We sat outside on a warm evening.
I took a chance and went here after an A's game and glad I did! I tried the Sampler that came with a glass of fresh Sangria, fried marinated boneless chicken, slow roasted pork, ripe sweet plantains, tostones and yuca al mojo.
Also sampled the Arroz Con Gandules, Pernil Asado, and Biftec Encebollado we both had so many leftovers for days!
Only thing I'd have to say is I think I've been spoiled with my Tia's Arroz Con Gandules over the years. Nothing compares to her rice. I was not used to the rice having minimal flavor. It was still good though
Such a cute, family owned spot. Definitely going back!
Fun place for Latin food! Whenever I'm craving sweet plantains I come here. Great decor and a cheaper option than Cha Cha Cha
It's always wonderful to return here! I have a deep fondness for this place. While the service was ok this time, it's the exceptional food that truly stands out. Naturally, I indulged in the delicious 'mis yuquitas fritas' once again.
Ordered the Bistec Salad. Was a little unsure of the 17.99 price point, but was pleased with very good portion of meat, avocado, onions, and the vinaigrette on the salad was delicious. Mom got the shrimp salad and was really good size and taste as well. Service was friendly and easy.
