El Parasol offers fast food stalls after the main building closed due to Covid. The food is excellent, especially the pork and guacamole burritos and chicken guacamole tacos. The restaurant is known for its best New Mexican dishes, including the bowl of menudo, tacos, burritos, and chili, which are highly praised by customers. The tostadas are also a personal favorite for many visitors. Customers often enjoy the green chili breakfast burrito and sausage, making it a popular spot during Balloon Fiesta and other times when craving NM goodness. The weather-friendly outdoor setting includes benches for resting and a loud speaker to announce order numbers. Customers should call ahead about 20 minutes due to the busy phone ringing. While the food and service are generally good, some have noted that wait times can be around 15 minutes, and there is a small warning about the hot green chili. Be aware that agua Fresca comes in different sizes and can be pricey, with some customers paying $6 for a large. Overall, El Parasol remains a favorite for fast, delicious New Mexican food, though it is not the same as the original sit-down restaurant.
