More like a 3.5-star experience for me. Came here for a late lunch today. There were a few tables filled, but it wasn't that busy. With that being said, our server wasn't very attentive. We had to flag her down a few times whenever we needed something instead of her checking in on us. We ordered the bistek sandwich and bistek plate. The sandwich was actually really good, although it was a little hard to eat like an actual sandwich because the meat wasn't sliced up. I basically had to eat the steak separately. The sauce it came with aka crack sauce, was SO good. I ended up grabbing a couple to take home because it went well with pretty much everything. Just beware that they charge an extra $1 per sauce. The plantain fries were good, but I wish they were a little crispier. The bistek plate, however, was probably a 3/5 for me. It lacked flavor and just wasn't anything particularly special. We ended up using the crack sauce to give it more flavor. The chicken empanadas were also pretty bland. Overall, the restaurant has a loud, lively atmosphere and the experience was alright. There were definitely some hits and misses, but that crack sauce was easily the highlight!
We came to parada around 2:30/3pm for a late lunch/early dinner with some family. We opted to sit outside since the inside was very stuffy for 5 of us. Service was a bit lacking and they weren't busy. We ordered the supremo mofongo in shrimp, pork and chicken which were delicious. The pollo salad was also yummy. We also did the pulled pork dish which was lacking in seasoning. The best was maybe the mini empanadas. My review is solely for the bill. We were charged for hot sauce and didn't know it was an additional charge. Additionally the server added 20% gratuity to our bill when we are only a party of 5 so I am disappointed in the bill charge. Although food was good, service was lacking so not sure if I will be back.
I love Puerto Rican food and I'm so thankful Parada 22 is in SF. Their food is absolutely delicious. There is so much flavor in all their dishes that you know there's love being poured into their food. I had the Pernil Asado and pork is not only flavorful but tender. My friend was interested in the Pastelon and highly enjoyed it. The Tostones were crispy and paired well with the sauce. Portion sizes are generous. The service is hospitable and friendly. They're helpful when you have questions about a dish. The vibe is chill and you settle in nicely once you get seated. I've mainly come by for lunch and both times were chill. Street parking can be difficult since it's in the Haight. Overall, a place you should try if you enjoy Puerto Rican food or want to try it.
Puerto Rico gem in SF Haight-Ashbury area. Cute restaurant with friendly service. Outdoor tables on the street were filled up. We were placed immediately upon arrival without any reservation. We loved the Trifongo (green plaintains + sweet plantains + yucca) mash with pork on top. The seasoning was quite savory. Plantain Balls with ground beef within was also great. Guava Cheese Empanada reminded us of our visit to San Juan streets. Enjoyed the experience overall.
I'm so glad I finally tried it. This was one of the most satisfying meals I've had lately. You can't go wrong with any of their empanadas, but the corn, guava, and veggie were the standouts. As for entrees I would recommend their pork or shrimp mofongo. They give so much protein, and the mofongo makes everything so much more moist and flavorful. Although the consistency might differ depending on the day. The first time I had their mofongo it was much creamier than the second. But either way, just douse everything in their house hot sauce and you'll be in for a treat.
Great spot for Puerto Rican food! They have huge portions and the food is amazing. We came for an early dinner on a Friday, arrived at 5:30pm and our table of 4 was seated right away. It's cozy and colorful inside, the decor is fun and bright! They have a happy hour from 3-6pm too with a small discounts on some cocktails and small dishes. I ordered the TriFungo - Puerto Rican Mash and it was amazing! The mofongo is made of mashed green plantains, sweet plantains, yuca, and garlic and onion. It was so flavorful and delicious! I got it with chicken which was smothered in sauce, so good. It also came with a side of rice, red beans and maduros. We were so full at the end of the meal. Definitely recommend!
Wow! My first time trying Puerto Rican food and it did not disappoint!! We were sat right away on a Sunday evening. The staff are the most friendliest people ever. So sweet & kind. I got the mofongo with shrimp and it was DELICIOUS!!!!!! The rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The mash with veggies mixed with shrimp omg perfection. The salad was really good too. MUST TRY THEIR SPICY SAUCE. It is delicious. It's a small cute restaurant full of so many decors!
I discovered this place back in April, my family and I finally went on June 29th. The food was amazing and very delicious. I ordered the Chicharrones De Pollo with Arroz Amarillo, paired with Habichuelas Coloradas, Tostones and a bit of salad. I also ordered the Piña Colada which was amazing, and refreshing. Apparently Zendaya had lunch here a month before my family and I visited?! Crazy! I would definitely visit again!
I've been wanting to come here forever and finally did! You can eat outside in parklets or inside. Food came out quickly and service was excellent. Ambience is authentic and casual. Highly recommend for yummy meal and casual gathering! They are open 7 days a week!
I've been here a handful of times, now and everything constantly tastes the same- DELICIOUS AND FLAVORFUL! I got the Pollo Salad, and since it's not broken- why change it up. I'm not one to PICK a salad for dinner, but the way they make, prepare and present their Pollo Salad- is perfect! I love the freshness of the tomatoes , and crunch of the leafy greens mixture with the pickled onions on top and fresh avocado and 2 huge chicken breast pieces with A LOT of sautéed onions and I think I'm missing another topping, but it's ALL DELICIOUS! The sever was sweet and helpful, since I have allergies with MSG, and luckily there's not anything on this grilled chicken salad. The food was fresh and made rather quickly and I love the lively music as well as all the artwork within their establishment. They also have an outside sitting area, too. The coconut flan was delicious too. Perfect flavor of flan and then great texture with the toasted coconut! Parking can be cumbersome, but if you eat later, there's always parking after 8pm in the neighborhood. Unless I just get lucky? Hee. I will definitely be back here again!
The vibe of this place is the best. I visited during Friday lunchtime and it wasn't crazy at all. Our party of 3 sat down almost instantly and was helped with great customer service. They took all of our orders in less than 15 minutes the food came out. Everything was delicious. And let me tell you, those tostones were out of this world. Soooo good. The fried chicken was bomb. We licked our plates clean. Portions of everything were big as well. We are definitely hitting up this spot again! Bravo Parada 22!

This restaurant is wonderful!!! It is located in a very trendy and thrift-heavy neighborhood within San Fran. Very walkable and fun to explore. Would recommend walking to the nearby park after your meal. This food was delish, made with love, and reasonably priced. The plantains alone warrant a return visit! read more

Loved my pernil asado, it was so tender and the sides went great with it. Decent service, it was semi full when I went with a group of 4 but we got sat immediately. I also liked how they decorated the place, adds a lot. Overall, this place is great, 9/10. read more

This is the 3rd time I have eaten Latin American food and I love it. The food I had delivered to my residence from this place was so unbelievably delicious!The fried chicken was simply Devine ! The veggies and the Spanish rice was top quality and was like butter in my mouth. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are interested in getting some Latin American food. The service was great and the ambiance of the restaurant was great from what I had read in other reviews. I give them 5 stars read more

Super cute quaint hole in the wall The restrooms annoyingly thru the kitchen & I wore a maxi dress & had to hold it in my hand so it wouldn't b on the rubber dishwasher floor mats. I honestly don't recall exactly the name of the dishes that we ate but I know with 100% certainty that they were bomb AF ! super super flavorful ! I would love to return and I will recommend forever ! Friendly professional staff, average prices. the sangria is not strong FYI. but the whole place is a vibe! Interior seating limited read more
Cute cozy spot on Haight serving Puerto Rican food. Only one waitress working the whole restaurant tonight, and she was friendly and welcoming. I've ordered the mofongo before and it is yummy. Tonight I tried the chincharrones de pollo. The breading was too thick for my liking. The crust was crispy but kept eating chunks of breading. I wish there was regular chincharron on the menu also. Beans, rice, and tostones were satisfactory. The yuca fries and the sauce it came with was nice as well. We enjoyed the house hot sauce and put it on everything. read more
Small restaurant on Haight, but serving great Puerto Rican food. Feels like you're on the island once you step in. Service is excellent and our server was very personable. Only had some small plates for appetizers and they were all tasty. Will definitely come back for a bigger meal. read more

Cute little spot serving puerto rican food right by the panhandle! Perfect for a post run meal. Prices were reasonable and portions were big -- perfect for sharing. I really liked the shrimp entree (the sauce was delicious; loved the peppers and onions as well) as well as the sampler! Favorite bites were the fried chicken and the plantains. The plantains were really sweet and grilled nicely. The entree comes with salad, beans, rice, plantains, and the protein, so it's a super packed plate. Service was a bit on the slower side but super friendly, and I would recommend trying the sparkling coconut water :) Inside is pretty small and has mostly tables for 2-4. read more
Nice spot serving authentic Puerto Rican food. Portions are large and service is friendly. The pernil was tender- decent on its own and better with their hot sauce. If you're craving Puerto Rican food, this place will hit the spot. read more

Very busy but the food was excellent! The mofongo was very similar to back home and arroz mampostaeo was also great, will come back to try more dishes! read more
The restaurant was decorated very nice, loved the brick wall. It's a small cozy restaurant with a lot of charm. The service was great, our server was patient and kind. The food was served quickly and it was hot and tasty. We ate pernil, and the sampler plate, big portions and we liked the food. The fresh Lemonade was delicious. We will be back to taste the other dishes. read more
Love this place! Cute and cozy and love the ambiance. We were so excited to check this place out because of all the raving reviews. Restaurant is small and not the best for large parties. However, much more suitable for small gatherings. Parking's not convenient. Recommend getting there early to find your spot. Let's dive into the food: Mofongo::: Not what I expected. Lack of flavor. Yuca Frita::: Very interesting! First time trying yuca. Texture similar to fries. I couldn't stop eating them. Bistec Encebollado::: This is a must try! Steak cooked well and love the texture. Seasoning *Chef kiss* Sangria:: Delicious! Get the half pitcher! =) Service was professional and attentive. Overall, highly recommended! read more

IMHO, one of the best restaurants in SF. If you've never tried Puerto Rican food, make sure you come here! Started with a few Coquito drinks. We had the Puerto Rican Sampler and Yuka fries for appetizers. Pastelon, Jibarito Sandwich, and the Veggie Plate. Good portions, great service (Walter!), reasonable prices. read more

Definitely not Puerto Rican food anymore. So sad! The food is not bad it just doesn't have that home taste anymore. We ordered bistec & pollo encebollado plates, with white & yellow rice, tostones, & mofongo with pernil plate. Everything was average. Taste is good just not Real Puerto Rican taste. The rice tastes so blah! & it too wet. Sauce was good! & to top it off customer service suck, we got a guy cashier/waiter on a weekend. I haven't been here in over a year, i dont know what happened to the previous staff so much more etiquette. :( so disappointing!! Won't be back! read more

What is that yellow orange vinegar sauce that comes in the clear bottle called..it's so good?
I can't find on the Parada 22 site or on a bottle - but other Puerto Rican restaurants that sauce is "pique" - and yes, I think it's excellent as well.
Does anyone know their new phone #? The one listed on Yelp, google, and their website seems to be out of service. But I know they are still there, was just there yesterday...
