I can count on one hand the number of times we've bailed on a restaurant after only ordering apps, but this restaurant makes that list. We started with the Cebiche and Empanada samplers. Of the 7 items in the samplers, 2 items were okay and 5 were straight up bad with the beef empanada being the worst. At $60 for two starters, we were expecting more from this restaurant. Often times you find better food off the beaten path, this is not one of those locations. I do not recommend trying this location and if you do eat here skip the beef empanada.

The ceviche and tiradito were outstanding and the white fish over onions came to the table on a sizzling plate and was a treat. Although the portions are generous you must not skip dessert! Three of us shared the passionfruit cheesecake which was AMAZING! In a city full of amazing food this place is not to be missed. A friend of mine insisted on going twice on her 10 day trip.

We have been here many times and have had great experiences. Took two friends for their first time. Ordered some of our favorites. Tasted as expected. Issue was with our main courses. The food runners put the wrong meals in front of us. Not being familiar with the dishes ( ordered for the first time) my friends started eating before realizing the mix up. The waiter explained the mixup and ordered new food post haste. However the food runners mixed up the desserts. Good thing I know chocolate when I see it or in this case didn't see it. We will be back because the food is good

Empanadas were amazing. The tuna ceviche was really good. The fish and mussels were ok. But great experience and ambience. Will definitely come here again. Great service!
Tony
Service was exceptional, the staff was attentive. We told the waiter we were going to eat family style and he made sure we were all set with plates to share and had a great time with all of his recommendations.
Chris
Fantastic experience. Food, drink, and service were outstanding. Try the Old Man's Revenge and the house made chips.
Maria
Service was great. The ceviche needs work. Not much flavor. I could not eat it. The beets salad was delicious. Our waiter was great, friendly and offered food suggestions.
Opentable Diner
Went on Valentine's Day, They gave the table next to me our food then tried to give me there food. Then they realized they made a mistake then took the food from the next table walked to the back then tried to give me the same plate that was just breathed on and ate off from that table. On Valentine's Day thats unexceptional

I had dinner solo tonight—originally, it was supposed to be with a friend, but I got stood up. Wandering aimlessly, I stumbled upon Parada Peruvian Kitchen & Bar. It was a random find, and I have to say, a charming one at that!
I haven’t had Peruvian cuisine in years, and the Lomo Saltado brought back some good memories. The dish was well-seasoned, and the flavors were on point. The strawberry lemonade was a refreshing companion to my meal, hitting the right notes of sweetness and tartness.
While the food was solid, I found myself eating a bit too fast, partly because dining alone in unfamiliar surroundings can feel a little awkward. Nevertheless, the ambiance was inviting, and the friendly staff added warmth to the experience, even if I was silently eating away my irritation.
If you’re ever in the mood for good Peruvian food, this is a solid spot worth checking out, whether you’re dining with friends—or unexpectedly solo!

Andres was our server - great guy. The food was delicious. We had some of the best octopus I’ve ever had, pork belly was just right, and the chicken was seasoned perfectly. Will be back again soon.
Great Peruvian empanadas and Lomo Saldato! Catherine gave us great service and had a wonderful personality. I will definitely enjoy Parada again.

My family and I were at this restaurant, but the service was very bad. When we sat at the table, more people arrived at other tables at same time and I could see the difference between them and us , the waiter asked us what we were going to order like appetizers but he never asked me about ours drinks , I ordered the appetizer and I had to ask him if I could order drinks, then I I got my drinks and appetizer but a lot of time passed and I had to ask again if I could order my dish, I did and then no one came up to ask me if my food was okay, if I needed anything, again I had to approach a waiter to ask If you could give me water, when everyone at other tables was given water since they arrived, I wanted to order more but it really wasn't worth it, I asked for the bill and it arrived quickly, maybe they are located in a good place and the food is Good but the service was horrible, I will never go back
