Great food. The Chicken ajillo is excellent. So is the grilled shrimp over special salad, the veal chops, the gambas ajillo and the sangria. I Have been going here since 1983. Food is constantly great every time!! Definitely call ahead on the weekend to get a reservation.

Thank you for a great dinner. The waitress answered our numerous questions about menu items and was very accommodating! The food was delicious! The mussels in white wine sauce were delicious. Great experience!! The manager was very nice and should be proud of his food!

I’ve had dinner here numerous times, and really never had a bad experience until last night.I ordered the Spanish pork chops with a s of sautéed spinach. The Chops were tough so I got a Shrimp dish. A couple of minutes later the way came back and said he had to take back the spinach because the chef said they get back. I asked why is that was what the chef wanted I thought that was disgusting and I told the waiter that who were they gonna give the spinach to someone else? that to me was very bad business and I told him that also. it’ll be a long time till I go back there again if ever!!!

Not what it used to be. Portions smaller and mariscada bland and not rich enough. Side fish of pasta served in a bowl like dish that was good for dessert. The salad dresding has not chsnged in decades. Party of four... no one left pleased. Much brtter options available for the price. Not noisy and easy to park

This is a very special Spanish restaurant that my wife and I love visiting. Their soups, appetizers and dinners are authentic Spanish from Spain recipes. We have been to Spain several times and the food at El Parral is as good or even better than the restaurants we have gone to from Madrid to Barcelona. I am proud to give my endorsement to El Parral in Syosset.

Ambiance (4/5): The inside was fairly empty on a Friday night with approx 4 tables occupied. The establishment is nicely lit and has a full bar as well. Minimalistic decor. Service (5/5): I really wanted to love this spot because our server was so friendly and enthusiastic with the drink and food recommendations! He said he knew the regular patrons and we were newbies, which shows attention to his guests! The food came out decently fast. Food (4/5): The meal came with a free starter of table bread and salad! The bread was very meh but I enjoyed the salad dressing! Mariscadas al Ajillo: the seafood bits were cooked perfectly! Nothing tasted overcooked or fishy. The sauce had a good amount flavor. It was reasonably priced for the portion of seafood in the stew. The yellow rice that comes it does a good job in soaking up the sauce. My only thing was that the sauce could have used a little more flavor. Paella Valenciana Speciality: This dish was not something write home about. The rice was not throughly seasoned through and bland side—it was as if the meat and veggie toppings were thrown on top rather than cooked into the rice. The rice went well with the extra Ajillo sauce from my dish. I liked the sausage but not the chicken as much. I really wished the flavors were integrated better.

Been going here my entire life. They kept it very much authentic and just like it was 30/40 years ago. You will get excellent service and excellent food

The food was horrible and the service left much to be desired. The tables are to close to one another.I wouldn’t recommend dinning here. Over priced on all menu items, drinks are watered down and not delivered in a timely fashion when ordered.
They gave a side of spaghetti with nothing on it and never asked me what sauce I would like food was horrible and when I called back 20 minutes until they closed no one answered place fell apart save your $$ and don’t waste it at this
