Parada is a charming restaurant near the BART station, offering pleasant outdoor seating. The empanadas are a standout, especially the mushroom variety, with a flaky crust and tender filling. The skewers and ceviche are also excellent, while the sangria is delicious and perfect for a visit. The staff is friendly and attentive, providing great cocktails and service. However, some customers have noted that the portions may be small for the price. Despite this, the exceptional food quality makes up for it, making Parada a great choice for special occasions like Mother's Day.
Customers praise the restaurant's cozy atmosphere, describing it as a "chill place" for a late lunch. The menu features a variety of Peruvian dishes, including the popular Hangover Soup, which a customer found to be "warm, tangy, and fresh." Many enjoyed the Adobo (pork shoulder), calling it outstanding. One customer also tried the specialty cocktail, the Police Officer, and found it to be "very unique and refreshing." While the noise level can be high, particularly due to live music, the overall experience is enjoyable. Parada is a neighborhood gem that even a "choosy Peruvian wife" approves of.
