El Parasol is a quiet, family-owned restaurant known for its great tacos and friendly service. Customers particularly enjoy the shredded beef tacos, often calling them the best in the USA. The restaurant offers delicious tacos with generous avocado portions and spicy salsa, along with flavorful Mexican rice that is not soupy, all packed in foam to-go containers. The fried tacos and bean burrito with red sauce are popular favorites, with the red chili often being slightly spicier. The menu also features simple yet well-made dishes like red tamales, chicharones, and a guiso and chicharones combination burrito. The location has fancier decor, making it a must-visit spot in New Mexico.
Recent reviews highlight El Parasol as a nice lunch spot, especially praised by customers from San Antonio, TX, who appreciate the excellent quality Tex-Mex. Many mention the crispy shredded beef taco plate as a favorite, and some enjoy sitting outside with their dogs. The restaurant also caters large events, providing fresh and flavorful food that receives nonstop compliments. The staff, led by Erick Lopez, is noted for their professionalism, organization, and kindness, making every dining experience memorable. El Parasol is highly recommended for both enjoying a meal and catering for events, showcasing a commitment to quality that impresses guests.
