    Lomo saltado
    Dezi S.

    Was looking for a new Peruvian restaurant and found it! They have in-door and outdoor seating. It was a little cold, so we chose in-door. We lucked out in getting a table without having a reservation, but part of it was timing. The place git packed not long after we arrived! Everything was so good and so hard to choose a dish! Loved the chicken chicharrones! My ribeye was cooked medium rare to perfection and flavored perfectly! Wife was very pleased with the Lomo Saltado! The drinks packed a great punch! They don't cheat on the alcohol! Go on a date night or with friends! Just go and eat the food!

    Nice spot for a lunch and some drinks! Great ambiance and easily seen an located off the street. The service was awesome and very attentive. Good music while we enjoyed our lunch with some adult beverages. Highly recommend the Pollo A La Brasa.

    Great Job! Had a great experience! Sat at the bar and Juan the bartender was awesome! New his stuff, great recommendations and great hospitality! Big octopus fan so of course I had to order the pulpo! Great flavor, great presentation, purple potatoes were done nice! But as octopus can be just a tad chewy! But I would give it a try it's worth it ! Hey it's octopus!

    Parada was just down the street from our hotel. The restaurant has a cute vibe with both indoor and outdoor seating available. We found easy street parking nearby, which was a nice bonus. I was super excited to see Pescado a lo Macho on their menu. Pescado a lo Macho is my all time favorite dish! It did not disappoint. Everything was perfectly cooked and the sauce was so flavorful. What really stood out was a side of rice. It had coconut flakes on top which added a nice texture and subtle sweetness. My fiancé ordered the Lomo Saltado, and he absolutely loved it. It's always great when both meals at the table are hits! The service was great. Staff checked in on us multiple times which made us feel cared for. That personal touch made the experience even more memorable. I would definitely come back next time we are in town . Highly recommend for anyone craving a Peruvian dish!

    Delicious!! We plan to go back to try more on the menu. I especially liked the drink, "The Police Officer". People were nice and atmosphere was busy and colorful!

    What a fantastic place to enjoy dinner, drinks, and laughter with the wonderful people who make Parada such a special spot. The food was absolutely incredible--every single dish we tried was a delight! We were especially lucky to experience a unique twist on Lomo Saltado, swapping steak for salmon. And... wow. My life is forever changed! The flavors paired so naturally, it felt like they were meant to be together. As a pescatarian, it can sometimes be tricky to find traditional dishes that incorporate fish, so this was an extra special treat. Our waitress was phenomenal, making sure we were well taken care of throughout the night. We even stopped by the kitchen to personally thank the chefs for such an unforgettable meal. I truly hope they add the salmon saltado to the menu someday--it's beyond words and something I would love to enjoy again. Huge thanks to Parada for an amazing experience!

    The Old Fashion Way (1880) -- smooth, citrus-kissed, the kind of drink that teaches patience. One glass was enough to slow time.

    My first encounter with Peruvian cuisine felt like stepping into a Van Gogh painting -- vivid, layered, and alive. I ordered the Pescado a la Plancha, grilled fish of the day with roasted veggies and chimichurri, and when the plate arrived, I looked up from my phone and simply said, "Wow." The presentation alone could have triggered dopamine release -- color, symmetry, and surprise all firing in sequence. The sauce, red and creamy, reminded me of Thai curry -- familiar yet foreign. The umami was soft-spoken but confident, lingering just enough to activate both taste and memory networks, those same regions that make nostalgia taste like home. Each bite was a gentle conversation between my neurons and my childhood comfort zones. I paired it with The Old Fashion Way (1880) -- brown spirit, sugar, water, bitters. It was smooth but assertive, with a whisper of citrus that grounded the experience like a steady heartbeat. One was enough -- just like one unforgettable painting. And then came the live guitar -- the auditory brushstroke that turned dinner into memory. Suddenly, the room filled; conversation and laughter merged into a kind of neural symphony. A first taste of Peru that felt like synesthesia -- where flavor meets color, sound meets emotion, and the mind quietly says, "I'll remember this one. Getting here was effortless -- it's right by a BART station, a few steps from the platform to the plate. Convenience meets curiosity.

    Yucca Fries Dinner

    NOTE: This is attached to the Avalon apartment complex. Parking may be difficult to find. I've been a few times with family to Parada. Can't speak to its authenticity, but as a newbie to Peruvian food, it's delicious ^_^ Their appetizers are amazing. Service is always exceedingly attentive and courteous. I don't think I've ever sat without water or clean dishes/cutlery for more than 5 mins. Some favorites: - ELOTE DE LA CALLE (TBF I love corn everything, so of course love their herbed butter, on-cob version) - EMPANADA PLATTER (corn cheese FTW) - Any cebiche dish (perfectly sour and savory) The only issue I have is that their chicken is always dry. SO DRY. I've had several chicken dishes and run into the same issue. I'm not sure if it's a cultural thing or the chef's preference, but it's not my favorite texture.

    Yucca Fries Dinner 3 Cebiche Tasting House Made Chips Dinner Empanada Trio Lomo Saltado
    Alyssa M.

    First to start off! I would like to say this place is cute and small! The apps came out rather fast and this is what we thought. Ceviche sampler platter with yucca chips... This was good but the tuna was definitely the best out of the three. We did not care for the ceviche misto. Yucca chips were very good! 3.5/5 The empanadas were very good! Everything was warm and fresh It came with pork,corn &cheese, mushroom, and chicken. Our favorites were the chicken and mushroom! 4.5/5 Yucca fries They had a mint and cream sauce to dip in sooo good! 5/5 Lomo salado We were a little disappointed we waited almost an hour for this and the steak bites were so chewy were couldn't even eat it unfortunately. The flavor was so good tho. 1.5/5 Service is good and no they did not charge us for water! We also got a Pisco sour & punch.. I could probably do without the next time.

    Came here for Valentine's Day dinner. The hosts were pretty welcoming. We had a reservation so didn't wait at all. It was a cold night, but we still ate i. the patio area which had a few heaters so it was comfortable. The empanadas appetizer and my husbands steak were delicious! But my plate was more of an appetizer sampler, didn't realize it was all fried. It was ok, just not what I was expecting. But overall it was a nice dining experience.

    Love coming here with mama friends on ballet days (tutu school across the street) with our kids to get their rotisserie chicken, or kids mac and cheese. My favorite is the empanada sampler platter. Be mindful that it's an additional charge for extra salsa or sauces - we only found out afterwards when we received the bill (and after we ordered a bunch for the table and all the guests dining with us). Wish they communicated that with us when ordering. Other than that, yummy food for both adults and kids, and convenient location!

    Adobo (pork shank)

    I went on a Saturday evening with my girlfriend. It took at least 20 minutes for someone to come to the table when the restaurant was not busy at all. She had the lomo saltado. I had the adobo (listed as pork shoulder on the menu). We shared empanadas and the pork ribs appetizer. The biggest issue was the adobo. I was served a pork shank covered in what tasted like Tabasco sauce. I asked the waitress what it is and she didn't really know. "Ribs". "Leg". "Ribs and leg"???? I explained to her on the menu it said pork shoulder and they clearly gave me a shank. They took it off the bill no problem. The lomo saltado was standard. The empanadas were just okay, not a lot of flavor. The mushroom one was the best to me. My girlfriend liked the corn the best. The pork ribs were tender but covered in what tasted like watered down sweet baby rays. Nice ambiance. Overall the food was boring, service was poor, and I felt like they tried to defraud me on the pork shoulder.

These were gourmet churros with a spoon of gelato. Love this place.

The concept is great, mocktails and low-alcoholic cocktails and lots of N/A wines and beers with a full vegetarian fusion menu. It just doesn't quite deliver.

He had the impossible kefte which he said was pretty good. The mocktails were okay. I had the pica pica and it could've used more spice and flavor. Tasted like a very refreshing cucumber and soda water rather than a mocktail. My husband was disappointed with his mock old fashioned. Beautifully presented but really not much there without the bourbon/whiskey. He wants to try the low alcohol version next time. This place might consider leaning more into the flavors of the Indian side of their fusion idea. And one tip on the service -- they could hold back a little. They were overly eager and kept interrupting our conversations and pushing more food on us. Might give them a few months and try again to see if they've improved.
