We loved the concept that every cocktail comes with an amuse-bouche style tapa of your choice since it lets you sample different dishes before committing to more. The mushroom croquettes were flavorful, though the mojo verde could've used a little more acidity. The patatas bravas/aoli were perfectly crispy outside and soft inside with great sauces. We also enjoyed the shrimp and onion fritter (buñuelos) and the lamb sliders (hamburguesa), where the mint paired really nicely with the richness of the lamb. The broccolini (bimi) was the only miss for us. It needed a bit more time on the grill and some salt since it came across bland. Service was good and balanced. Staff checked in enough without hovering. Overall, a good experience with solid tapas and cocktails.

My partner and I arrived and got no greeting even though the guy was in front he just started at us. We sat ourselves and he just kind of dropped two menus in-front of us and left for a little. He came back and took our order ( 2 lomo su mare & 2 incacolas) he immediately brought us our drinks which he very roughly put in our table. Our food came out in record time and the cook came out and nicely asked if we needed anything more. The meal: My partner and I both agreed that it was just okay, not something we would come back for. It was very greasy and did not taste like lomo Saltado( it lacked the juice the lomo Saltado usually has and this juice literally makes the plates flavor) the fries were regular but had no salt (again if the lomo Saltado had the juice the fries having no salt would not be a problem as it's usually a bit salty because of the soy sauce). We finished our meals and I got up to pay trying to get alfajores but got informed they were unfortunately out. In total I paid around $75 without tip. The price is very high for it to lack the traditional flavor. I would not come back to this place but not essentially because of the food but the service as well.

I've tried lomo saltado dishes at other restaurants (because I have found the need to always get this dish at a Peruvian restaurant ever since my first time at Limón), but nothing compares. I've tried a couple that have come close though! Came here on a Tuesday evening (made a reservation online for three). Lomo Saltado: always my go-to dish. I very rarely venture away from this dish (will usually get ceviche in addition). Flavorful and filling. Miscellaneous: - If you're going with a larger group or during peak meal times, recommend making a reservation - Parking is available via street parking - Good for small and large groups - The restaurant is loud

My husband and I have regular date night dinners out and most places are good but not always ones we plan to make return visits to given there are so many options in the East Bay. However, this is one we definitely want to return to. It's a small space, only 18 seats, so plan ahead and make a reservation. We ordered Cebiche Mixto, Pulpo a la Parrilla, and Arroz con Mariscos and they were all beautifully plated and delicious. The Arroz con Mariscos was light and fluffy and didn't feel heavy like most rice dishes. We sat at the counter and the chef was friendly and I enjoyed watching him work. As others mentioned, the staff were all very amiable and helpful with requests or questions. My only minor complaint was that the counter chairs didn't have high backs so was a bit uncomfortable for me, so I think I'll try a table the next time.

So, of course, I had to grab the ahi tuna bowl. and my oh my, that was delicious!!!!! So many places with tuna, don't serve it with Won Ton chips, but Roses on Adeline got the memo! I love a won ton chip and these were giant and perfect with my fish. The fish came in a lovely sauce. So perfect! Such a great spot!

Luckily for us, while most of the stalls at the Public Market weren't even open yet, Paradita was ready to save the day! We ordered the grilled pork belly on salad, the mushroom empanadas, and a passion fruit drink to wash it all down. Side note: their cocktails sounded incredible, but at 10 AM, we figured it was a tad too early to start day-drinking, lol! The food was absolutely stellar: The Grilled Pork Belly: Incredible. Super tender, not overly fatty, and packed with flavor. It sits on a tasty vinaigrette salad, and the potatoes on the side were executed perfectly--nice and fluffy on the inside with a perfectly roasted skin. The Mushroom Empanadas: These were unique! Instead of the typical heavy, deep-fried style, they use a flaky puff pastry for the shell. The filling was savory and so delicious. Prices were reasonable, and the owner was helpful and friendly while we ordered. If you're at the Public Market, I highly recommend checking this spot out! They totally crushed it.

This dish could easily feed more than one person. Yes I get it that at the end of the day it's still just half a rotisserie chicken, and you could probably get something similar at a much cheaper price at places like Costco etc., but honestly, considering the location, this felt like a pretty decent deal. When you order, they give you one of those devices that lets you know when your food's ready, so you can walk around and check out the public market while you wait for your meal.

1/5 Extremely…read moredisappointing experience at Parche. I had a 9:00 PM reservation and received a call from the manager right at 9:00 PM. During that conversation, I told him I was on my way. His response was clear: he told me they would keep the kitchen open for us. Based on that assurance, I continued driving to the restaurant. Then, when I was approximately five minutes away, the same manager called back and informed me that the kitchen was now closed and that they would not be serving us. What frustrates me most is that this entire situation was completely avoidable. If the kitchen was about to close, he should have either told me not to come or given me a firm cutoff time. Instead, he confirmed that I was on my way and assured me they would keep the kitchen open. Had he simply been honest about the actual situation, I could have chosen from countless other restaurants whose kitchens were still open and enjoyed my evening without issue. During our conversation, the manager repeatedly tried to justify what happened by pointing to fine print in the reservation policy and by saying he had attempted to contact me at 8:48 PM. But none of that addressed the actual issue. At 9:00 PM, we spoke directly. I told him I was on my way, and he told me they would keep the kitchen open. That was the representation I relied on. If the kitchen could not remain open, he should have told me that at that moment rather than assuring me everything was fine and then calling back minutes later to cancel. To make matters worse, the manager later claimed that I had told him I was only five minutes away, which is simply not true. I never gave him a five-minute arrival estimate. Yet that inaccurate statement somehow became part of the explanation for why they decided to close the kitchen. I even asked why they couldn't simply take my order over the phone and have the food ready when I arrived. First, I was told that the food would be prepared too quickly and would be cold by the time we got there. When I questioned that explanation, the reasoning changed and I was then told they couldn't count on me to pay. The explanations seemed to change depending on the conversation, which only made the situation more frustrating. Adding to that, the manager repeatedly referred to me as "friend" throughout the conversation while refusing to honor the commitment he had made minutes earlier. Under normal circumstances that wouldn't bother me, but in this situation it came across as dismissive and insincere. I would have preferred accountability and a genuine apology. The proposed solutions were equally disappointing. At one point, the manager assumed I had taken an Uber and offered to reimburse an Uber fare. Besides being an incorrect assumption, it completely missed the point. The issue was never transportation costs. The issue was that we relied on his assurance that the kitchen would remain open, only to have that commitment withdrawn while we were already on the way. My two friends and I had planned on having a nice dinner together. Instead, we spent the evening scrambling to find somewhere else to eat. After being turned away elsewhere because of kitchen closures, we ultimately ended up eating at BJ's around 10:30 PM. I drove up from Los Angeles for the evening, and thanks to how this was handled, I essentially spent six hours on the road only to end up eating at BJ's. Had the manager simply been straightforward with me from the beginning, I could have made different plans and enjoyed dinner at any number of other restaurants still serving food. The only meaningful solution offered was a vague promise of a discount if I came back another time. After having a reservation effectively canceled while I was already en route based on the manager's own assurances, that did not feel like a serious attempt to make things right. Frankly, after this experience, it was difficult to understand why I would ever consider returning. The entire interaction left me questioning why I would ever return to Parche or consider visiting any affiliated restaurants. Mistakes happen, but what separates a good restaurant from a bad experience is how management handles them. In this case, there was no ownership, no accountability, and no acceptable resolution. If you're going to accept reservations and assure guests that the kitchen will remain open, you should honor that commitment. Unfortunately, that did not happen here. What should have been a nice dinner with friends turned into a frustrating and unnecessary ordeal. Instead of enjoying the evening we had planned, we spent it scrambling from restaurant to restaurant looking for somewhere still serving food. In the end, the night was only barely salvaged, and certainly not because of anything Parche did to make the situation right. A simple, honest conversation at 9:00 PM would have avoided the entire problem.
