​I had a wonderful experience at La Parada Cafe. From the moment we arrived, the staff was fantastic and friendly, making us feel right at home. The atmosphere is a little on the noisy side, but it's that high-energy, happy kind of noise--you can tell everyone is just enjoying themselves so much that it doesn't bother you at all. ​I ordered the Deluxe French Toast, and it was incredible. It managed to be rich and flavorful in the best way possible. Even though it's a carb-heavy dish, the addition of the fruit made it feel light enough that I left feeling perfectly satisfied rather than weighed down. It really hit the spot for both my stomach and my palate. ​My mother ordered the Seafood Molcajete, and it was an absolute showstopper. It was packed with shrimp, calamari, mussels, and lobster. Just looking at it had my mouth watering, and the quality of the seafood was top-notch. If you're looking for a spot with a great vibe and even better food, this is it! read more

The food was great and the service was quick! They do get busy, but not too badly. They have a full parking lot in the back. My only complaint about this place is that on numerous occasions, I have come during their regularly scheduled business hours and they've been closed. Nothing posted on their social medias or any alerts for their closures. I highly recommend calling to confirm they are open before heading there. read more

Came for breakfast, accidentally fell in love. I wasn't even planning on coffee, but then they said café de olla and I immediately said yes. Zero regrets. It's a must if you love good coffee. I ordered the Chilaquiles Trio (because chilaquiles are life). The chips were still a little crunchy--10/10 exactly how I like them. Rice, beans, three different salsas... chef's kiss. Totally worth it. My husband ordered the menudo (he's serious about his menudo), and even he approved. Flavorful, comforting, and paired with homemade tortillas, which automatically makes everything better. The best part? It's family-owned--mom cooking in the back, dad running the front, and everyone is super friendly. We love supporting local spots like this, and La Parada Café is officially on our "must return" list. Come hungry. Leave happy. read more

The place was packed, so I took a seat at the bar. Omg ! What a fun and lively place for brunch!! The Bloody Mary!! Spicy deliciousness! my waitress is having a baby! Any day now!! She's working like a champ! If you come in before the 28th, which is her due date, tip, her big I did! First time here and I'm amazed at their menu! Something for everyone! From classic breakfasts to enticing Mexican food cuisine! Of course I had to try their classic eggs Benedict, so far I have tried pretty much every place that serves them here in Reno. Their ham on them is to die for !! The hollandaise...! Look out everyone else!! And the garnish! So Pretty !! Next time I come, and I WILL come back, I'm going to get a little adventurous and try some breakfast tacos !! Yep! They have those too !! read more

Breakfast dates are probably my favorite when I am allowed to slow down on my weekend. I was treated to breakfast yesterday here. I have had this locally owned joint on my list for some time and took advantage since we were nearby. They were busy, so we took a second to look at their menu before being seated and we loved their decor and ambiance. It reminded me of my times in Mexico when we'd stumble across a hole in the wall establishment where we knew the food would be authentic. It felt homey and Andrea was welcoming from our first greeting. She was also the hostess. The Staff here as a whole was great. The only downside was their prices were higher for breakfast and their plates were lacking. Food to price ratio didn't match for us. I ordered the Azteca breakfast and my love had their carnitas tacos then ordered a carne asada burrito because he was still hungry. We placed two orders of waffles to-go; one waffle breakfast $17.25 and a Belgium waffle for $16.25. The waffle breakfast is definitely a better deal with an egg and two slices of bacon for a dollar more. My food was delicious, but their plates were more like an appetizer. Their seafood looked delicious, but I can't justify spending almost $30 for soup. I'll make my own 7mares at home. Thank you Andrea for the hospitality, you were great. read more

Never would've known this place existed unless someone told me about it. There's street parking and also they have a small parking lot in the rear of the restaurant. Just follow the signs. The inside is decorated with plants and paintings all over. It felt like I walked into someone's home instead of a restaurant. It was so cozy and the service was friendly. Came in for brunch/lunch and was surprised the place was packed. Got seated at the bar and everything on the menu looked delicious. Started off with their cafe de olla. The coffee was so aromatic. I was told it was infused with cinnamon and other spices. For entrees, I got the grilled Mexican steak with a choice of corn or flour tortillas and the deluxe pancakes with sausages. The food was delicious and the portions were huge. read more

I'm going to kick things off with 100/10 food the Birria plate was great the pancakes were delicious I love the Freshly squeezed orange juice the horchata was a bit water down but still that cinnamony flavor we all love The service was great our waiter should get a raise she was very nice the food came out quick like under 10 minutes The Ambience was like I was in Mexico City music blasting when I walked in it looked like Mexico but with a hint of modern style the bulls on the walls gave me a quick laugh Overall 10/10 spot if you are in the area stop here it won't disappoint read more

I didn't even get to try the food because we were given inaccurate wait times. We were told it would be a 30 minute wait, and while we were waiting I decided to look at the menu more and photos. I saw reviews about La Parada having the best chilaquiles and wanted to try them, but they looked like what you get from La Carreta which are just lacking flavorful sauce, and a small portion. It also looked like it wasn't the most authentic food. So it didn't seem worth the wait and we left. read more

Overall we would rate it a 3/10 We got there around 12:15pm, ordered around 12:20, didnt get our food until 1:00pm. The party of two before us ordered a few minutes before we did. They got their food and drinks, finished their meal, and paid all before we even got our meal. So we had a 35-40 minute wait for the food. I got the Belgium Waffle Platter: the Waffle came burnt as you can see in the photo, my bacon was also burnt on one of my pieces, and my eggs came already soaking my waffle. Taste wise the eggs were good and the bacon was okay. The waffle was really burnt and not good at all to me. My husband didnt mind it so he ate half. My husband got the Machaca: he said it was dry and the flavor was mid. The tortillas were a little thick as well. He liked how you can tell the veggies were fresh which is a plus for him. Our coffee was also burnt. The atmosphere was good, its a cute little spot. Wait time was a little crazy considering they were not very busy when we came in and ordered. I dont think I would be going back or recommending. read more

I can't tell everyone how FANTASTIC this restaurant is and do it justice. I had the Mexican Coffee and the La Parada Huevos Rancheros. This is not the traditional way people usually make it. They actually make it with two chorizo and cheese enchiladas with eggs on top along with pickled onions, arugula, and avocado. The chorizo is made in house and the dish is served with the most amazing beans (tastes like your mom used to make) and fried potatoes. When I was finished, I had to throw my hands up in the air....soooo freaking good!! My husband had the Chilaquiles with the verde sauce with scrambled eggs (I suggested he get them with over easy eggs). He said it was a little spicier than he expected but it was amazing. He did admit he should have had it with over easy eggs...told you so!! The waiter was very friendly and our food came out really fast. What we liked the most about this place was that everything is made in house (tortillas, beans, chorizo). Go check it out, you won't be sorry!! read more

Found this place on Yelp, and this is why I love yelp! This place was great and absolutely cute inside, plus, the service was nice. We did wait a little long.... However, it was worth my tasty meal. We ordered country fried chicken, huevos ranchero, and menudo. Period, the menudo was great. Actually, everything was flavorful and worth the dollar. Will definitely come again. See pictures, then see, then buy. read more

Service was disappointing. I arrived shortly after my group and waited about 20 minutes without being acknowledged. When I finally asked the lady with red hair to order, she refused and prioritized another table that arrived after us. Not acceptable. especially when a quick acknowledgment could have fixed the situation. Also food was mediocre. Waffles were extremely soggy. I got one spoonful of burnt hasbrowns One spoonful of yogurt for my parfait And the eggs were extremely runny read more

A wonderful find, La Parada is a great choice for quality Mexican foods. We went there for breakfast, with most opting for tradtional Mexican dishes, while my wift opted for the Belgian Waffle. Our friend chose the "La Parada Huevos Rancheros". An interesting selection of two homemade pork sausage chorizo cheese enchiladas, topped with eggs, cilantro, tomatoes, jack & cheddar cheese, avocado, sour cream, and Mama's Salsa Ranchera. I've never seen Huevos Rancheros prepared quite like this but my friend said it was delicioso! Another friend ordered the Beef Machaca. A more tradional dish with scrambled eggs mixed with seasoned shredded beef, sauteed onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and jalapeno peppers. I ordered "Chorizo and Eggs". The Chorizo was flavorful and not oily at all. When mixed with the eggs, it offered a wonderful blend of tastes and textures. It was quite good. As mentioned, my wife ordered the Belgian Waffle. A very traditional preparation, the waffle was good but not amazing. The sausauge was quite good though. Overall, a solid option for breakfast. I am eager to return for lunch. La Parada is a Breakfast/Lunch place, closing at 2pm dailly. read more

Came back in to give it another whirl and glad we did!!! Place was empty upon entering and of course, got seated immediately. Service today is impeccable, she even remembered that my wife likes the whipped butter and my wife didn't even have to ask. What great service! Waitress was on point today. Now, I ordered the lunch special with 2 asada tacos and rice and beans. Wife got the waffle again, and we must say, what a huge improvement all around today!! I'm super impressed. The food and cook on the taco was great, the salsa has the perfect amount of kick, rice tasted way better today and not so dry like last time. Wife advised her waffle was on point as well. No issues with cleanliness, the place is decorated so plenty to look at. Looks like we'll be coming back more often. Prices are a little higher than we'd like but worth it. read more

Went with a co worker to this spot for lunch. It is impressively decorated on the inside, with a mix of traditional Mexican pottery, dishes and some futbol fan merch. Definitely has a more upscale feel than your average divey taqueria, from the heavy flatware and cups, to the plating and presentation of the food. I had the red enchiladas and my co worker had the meatball soup(can't remember the actual Spanish name for it). The enchiladas were perfectly cooked and nicely plated and the size of the meatballs in my partner's soup was impressive. The tortillas are a thick, corn style you can tell are handmade. Service was quick and friendly. Overall nice place for lunch, would also be a cool place to take a date read more

Love this family owned/operated restaurant. You can tell they put a lot of hard work and love into the business. Interior is adorable and so colorful-feels like a party! They have a full bar and traditional American food and Mexican dishes. Started with a beautiful Berry mimosa that was delicious and full of berries. Entrees were steak eggs Benedict and fruit waffle-both so good! Large portions and everything freshly made with best ingredients. Service was wonderful-100% recommend! read more

We headed to La Parada on Sunday for breakfast/lunch. When we arrived, a majority of the restaurant was full of dinners; fortunately for our party of four, there was a vacant table at the corner of the room where the hostess quickly sat us. The menu looked different but they still serve a majority of the familiar items like the chimichanga, pancakes, steak and eggs and everything in between. The food arrived with a minimal amount of wait, everything tasted delicious; the food was well-seasoned and expertly prepared. The prices still remained affordable and as usual the best part pf any meal at La Parada is the exemplary customer service; they're always efficient, courteous and welcoming. We consistently have a pleasant and enjoyable meal plus everyone leave full and satisfied. read more

1st time visit with a couple kiddos in tow. Staff was SUPER FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL!! The children choose items that the waitress pointed out might be to spicy and she brought samples for kids and yes they quickly changed their choices and LOVED what she suggested. I had the chilaquiles sample 3 different sauces soooo goood. Decor was amazing to look at and notice all of the pottery and dolls. Kids wanted pictures next to some of it. It was much more upscale on appearance inside than what was expected and food and pastries were all excellent. We will all return read more

Food really good and service very professional. Visited on Sunday with our team and loved all the items we ordered.

We went in based on Yelp reviews to try the breakfast, when you walk in seems like a hole in the wall it's not what you expect. The service was good and it had a good ambiance for the location, however the food I thought could have been better. The hot sauce was not spicy at all. read more

They also have lunch and weekend specials. I highly recommend! read more

This place was genuinely the definition of mediocre. The service was really bad to start with, we waited at the seating area without being acknowledged for almost 10-15 minutes and it wasn't that busy either. Then when we sat down, our party of two could even hear each other because of the speaker playing music. I understand it's an ambiance thing, but we had to yell for us to hear each other. The food is definitely not worth the price for how bland it is. I ordered the platter and got the deluxe pancake and when I tried to flag down a server (which I had to resort too because we weren't checked on) for help it didn't so I just ate the deluxe pancake which was just a bunch of soggy fruit on a soggy pancake. Next, when we tried to pay to leave we were waiting 20 minutes and were ignored by 3 different servers until we had to get up to get someone. We were about to be charged for things we didn't order like an extra soda and horchata. We were just so ready to leave. I'm sure this place has its good days but it really needs to work on its customer service and get orders right. Wouldn't not recommend to anyone. read more

3/23/2024- Been wanting to stop in.. So glad we made it! The decor and music set the mood upon entering.. Menu was nice and easy ..with plenty of options.. Good crowd and the servers were very experienced. Ordered- carnitas torta- really big and good.. Aztec- server suggestion and it was perfect.. not too heavy and the chorizo sausage was really good.. Machaca- chicken.. and it was good.. Steak omelette good, but a tad too much cheese.. Mexican coffee was nice, hot and full flavored with cinnamon. Chips & salsa- nice green'ish salsa with crisp tortilla chips.. Looking forward to the next meal.. read more

We came in a little late for breakfast and a little early for lunch, so it wasn't very busy. We got seated right away. The waitress asked if I wanted regular coffee or Mexican cinnamon coffee. I am very glad I decided on the Mexican coffee. Reminded me of Starbucks holiday coffee, except better. Everything is made fresh there and it sure does taste like it. I ordered the breakfast burrito, and it was phenomenal. I'm very sad that we have never made it here before, what a great place. Love the decorations inside, and how bright it looks. Can't wait to go back and try something else. read more

I wanted to like this spot so bad and had really High hopes for it, as soon as we walked in we were greeted and asked to wait for 15 minutes for a table for 4 and 1 high chair. Looking around there were plenty tables open and ready for seating, after getting sat at a table For 6 they moved us to a smaller table which was fine. Although that could have been done first before the larger table. The waitress was in a sour mood not sure if she's always that way or if she was having a bad day. We waited about 10-15 minutes to get our order taken and after that we didn't see our server again. We were missing a few items that we ordered but just asked to get it taken off at the end when she finally came back and printed out the receipt. The food was bland nothing that stood out to any of us, we ordered the Chilaquiles Rojos, Machaca burrito, huevos rancheros and menudo. Plenty left overs but no want to take them to go. I think if the service was more welcoming and pleasant the food might have tasted better. Oh also! The food was cold. read more

I came solo around 1130 on a Sunday. There are only a few shared parking spots in front. The restaurant is quaint and every table and all counter seats were taken. It was about a 20 min wait to get seated at the counter. The décor is eclectic and filled with vibrant colors. The staff is very friendly. Service was a bit slow. They're extremely busy and I only saw two servers. I ordered chilaquiles rojos. It's a perfectly sized portion served with rice and beans. The salsa was spicy for me (it's not truly spicy, it's mild), and full of flavor. Eggs are prepared to order and served on the side. There's a full bar. I didn't realize they take payment at a register. In the time I was waiting for the server to come back and check in on me or at the time I ordered, it would have been nice to have pointed that out. All in all it was enjoyable. I will return next time I'm in the area. read more

I came here for brunch with a couple of girlfriends on a Friday. Super cute interior and they played great music. They have a large menu of items for brunch but I was so distracted by their dinner items, I will need to come back! The banana Nutella croissant was so delicious. I typically don't like sweets for breakfast, but it was a pleasant surprise. They were out of a few items when we were there (berry mimosa and pan dulce), but the server was able to suggest other items. read more

Service was ass, our family was very eager to try this restaurant but when met with the hostess, she didn't wanna sit our family down. Made excuses on why they couldn't sit us down, which include " there's an hour wait and we stop serving food in a little while" "let me ask the severs if it's okay " their whole attitude/ demeanor was annoyed. There were also a bunch of tables still open, large enough for my family of 6. Wouldn't recommend, go anywhere else but here and you'll receive a way better experience. read more

We were here on a Thursday morning... good customer flow but not busy. We waited for about 45 min for a burrito and an omelet. When food finally arrived it was cold and tasteless. The omelet wasn't even the one we ordered.
