Excellent service and delicious Puerto Rican food, I can only say that the banana they made the mofongo with was not cooked at the moment.

We found this place on our trip to SF, after a long day in Golden Gate Park. Wow! The food was tremendous, the sangria delicious and the vibe like a tropical vacation within a vacation. We had the sampler platter, the mofongo, fried plantains and coconut flan. So glad we found Parada 22. Yum!

We were on the Hop on-hop off bus, and we hopped off in Haight Asbury. Looking for a coffee and ended up having lunch. The pork quesadilla was to die for. OMG!!! The plantains were sweet, soft, and delicious! Have to stop there on our next trip.

My wife and I came to celebrate our 35th anniversary and were thrilled to find a restaurant representing our beautiful island of Puerto Rico. The service, atmosphere, and food were absolutely superb. We recommend it 100%—a true taste of home and a perfect place for a special celebration! Kudos to Walter. Thank you so much. By the way we came from Tampa, Florida.

I was really rooting for this place. Maybe Mondays just aren’t their night. Maybe the chef isn’t Puerto Rican, or my expectations were just too high. The Mayoketchu was good and seasoned well. Tostones weren’t bad. A little under salted. But the lechón, yuca, and arroz con gandules were shockingly bad. Poorly seasoned all around. The rice was so dry and not flavorful at all. It was almost like a really bad pegau.
I grew up eating Puerto Rican food. Grew up cooking it, eating it in nyc etc. It’s a cuisine that HAS to taste homemade and authentic. You can’t fake it. But this felt like that. It felt like it was cooked by someone who didn’t grow up eating this type of food. And that was very disappointing. I was rooting for this place because there’s so few Puerto Ricans in SF. Only a handful of restaurants serving our food. But if this is considered one of the best they have a long way to go.
I won’t be back and won’t recommend it to anyone I know. Especially if they’ve never pr food before. It’s a poor representation. I hope it improves someday. I’m not from here and don’t know what the clientele is normally, but the only way this passes is if people don’t know any better.
I wish them well. But this ain’t it.

We had a sampler and sandwiches. The sampler was great. Everything on the plate was delicious and well prepared. To be honest the sandwiches were good but we wouldn’t have them again.

Fueled up here before the memorial day hike. The outdoor patio is dog friendly, samplers make for a nice intro to the cuisine and were available early in the morning

Decent food, little cramped inside, but it's a small SF joint. Kind of expected.

The food was absolutely delicious! We had the slow roasted pork main dish and the fries on the side. Even though we were super full, we decided to order the mango cake to go. That was a decision we were very happy about! Every single dish stood out. Portion sizes were generous. Service was great! Highly highly recommend
