The restaurant is beautifully decorated and has a fun, welcoming atmosphere. The service was great, and the food was delicious. It's definitely on the pricier side, especially considering the portions are a little smaller than what I'm used to at Mexican restaurants, but the portions were still enough to leave us full. Overall, great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere. I'd definitely come back! read more

I had passed by this place many times but had never noticed this restaurant before. The atmosphere is very nice and does a great job of showcasing Mexican culture. There are plenty of decorations that add to the overall ambiance. The service was excellent; everyone was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The restaurant was quite busy, so the wait time was a bit longer than expected. The food was very tasty, although I felt it was slightly oily. Also, when we sat down, we noticed an unpleasant odor around the table, similar to the smell of eggs after you eating them, which made the dining experience less enjoyable. Additionally, the prices are somewhat high considering the portion sizes served. Overall, the restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere and great service, but there are a few areas that could be improved to enhance the overall customer experience. read more

We were greeted quickly and seated. The restaurant is adorable with authentic Mexican style decor, surprisingly for as much decor as they had it was CLEAN, orderly and definitely added to the ambiance. Andrea introduced herself as our server and had a beautiful friendly and welcoming aura. Our orders were taken, quickly brought out and everything was correct. The molcajetes were delicious. All three were ordered and the flavors were great! I expected the ground version of chorizo and it was grilled sausage style which was great! The molcajetes had a decent amount of grilled meats, and veggies! The presentation was nice! I'd definitely order any of the three again! I don't eat much rice and forgot to ask for beans without cheese, so I didn't eat them, that's on me. The rice was on the more bland end. Menudo was served barely hot, we ordered with pata and there was a small piece in it. The tripe was cut and CLEANED which is always appreciated. The menudo was ok. Chilaquiles trio was really good, the orangish house sauce was the best in my opinion. It was a very decent sized portion! I'd definitely order again! Cafe de olla was ok, cup was refilled quickly! I really appreciated the large sized bowl of creamers on the table we didn't have to keep asking for them, greatly appreciated! Would we return? ABSOLUTELY for the molcajete and chilaquiles!! read more

La Parada is a lovely breakfast spot! Absolutely loved the breakfast potatoes, and my omelette was great too. After my meal I could not help myself but grab some sweet bread which I enjoyed over the course of the rest of the day; it was delicious. Our waitress was attentive too, which really made us feel at home. Thank you La Parada for the amazing food and service. read more

La Parada Cafe - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

We went to La Parada Cafe for breakfast this morning. When we arrived at the restaurant, there were a few diners but they weren't crowded yet. The hostess greeted us promptly and easily found a table for our party of five. She took our drink orders and after delivering our drinks to the table, took our food orders: an Adobada Burrito, two Carnitas Burritos, a Chorizo Benedict and the Pancake Breakfast Platter. All the food arrived at the table in a timely manner, the portion size was generous and expertly prepared. The burritos were so humongous and hefty, it made me question my decision but in the end I had to throw in the towel because I just couldn't finish it. Our entire party enjoyed each of our entrees and ate everything with relish. Once again, the service is always welcoming and hospitable, the food was great and prices reasonable; we had another wonderful meal at La Parada Cafe. 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

La Parada Cafe - Azteca Breakfast Chilaquiles Horchata Cafe de olla - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Tried this place out today. Unfortunately, it was not great for me. The services great. The waitress was very nice and attentive. The location is really cute! However the food was not that great. Well, except for the beans, they were amazing! The tamale was a bit dry. The eggs with nopales seemed too bland. I think my biggest disappointment was the cafe de olla. I love to taste the cinnamon but in this case it was way too strong. We added sweetener and a few creamers but it still didn't taste all that good. The potatoes served for breakfast were a bit spicy so, if you don't eat spicy beware. Keep in mind I don't have a high tolerance. I would probably go back for drinks at the bar and maybe try something different just because I really appreciated the service. read more

First of all I would like to say that we love the staff of this place. The family is so nice and works so hard. Brought my mom here so she could get the menudo which is a weekend menu item. She really enjoyed it, and we enjoyed our meals also. I ordered something new to me, the torta. Only torta I ever had was so dry I didn't like it. But I decided to try theirs. I am so glad I did. It was big I could only eat one half, but my husband could stop eating the other half, so I didn't have any left overs. This place is so clean and inviting. 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

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 came by myself for lunch, sat at the bar since the tables were full and the bar is self seating . Took 15 minutes to take my drink order, then another 40 to take my food order. The place was hopping when I got there, pretty quiet by the time I ordered. Food came out pretty quick, tacos were good and horchata was good. I won't ever go there at noon, my mistake I guess. read more

I kept seeing this restaurant all over social media, so I figured I'd check it out while visiting Reno. The service was good, when we arrived, we were seated and served quickly. Overall, the food was good, but I'd say it was average. The café de olla was delicious, and the Gansito pancakes were definitely a fun and tasty treat. The protein bowl was also flavorful and satisfying. The only disappointment was the chicken fried steak, it had more batter than meat, so it wasn't quite what I was expecting. It was a decent experience. 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

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

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

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

​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

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

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

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

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

Saw some great reviews but our experience was not good. I had the La Parada omlette, it had no flavor plus the eggs were burnt. Maybe the Mexican dishes are more flavorful and not overcooked but my 1st and only experience was very disappointing. We had Omelette, (Pancake dish which was good), (orange juice which was excellent) and (coffee that was not that good). The bill was 50.00 with no tax, CC fee, those charges were on top of 50.00 , they also have gratuity price with all fees charged on the bill so it would be a lot more than 20% if that was what you would give them. I cant believe it has such good reviews. I can say it was very nice and clean inside but the food was very very disappointing!!!! Service was just ok they never came around with coffee until we were leaving. read more
