    3-tacos plate with Al Pastor and carnitas
    Myrna S.

    We had another great meal at La Parada Cafe. When we arrived, we checked in at the hostess' station, one person stayed to hold our place in line while the rest of our 5-person party waited outside because we didn't want to block the door. It only took a few minutes for our table to be ready and as soon as our party was seated, the server took our drink orders. Quickly after our drinks were dropped off, we placed our entree orders: quesaabirria platter, an al pastor burrito, 3-tacos plate, a breakfast burrito and a carnitas burrito. The food arrived timely at our table and the owner was kind enough to drop by our table and say "Hello". He thanked us for coming and was genuinely glad to see us even though this restaurant is consistently busy; it's still nice to hear that they appreciate our business. The food was plentiful and very good; they have the best carnitas in town (IMHO), their, al pastor, menudo and quessabirria is great well. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meals and we all left full and completely satisfied: delicious food, wonderful service and great value. What's not to love?

    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.

    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.

    Love the decor !

    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 !!

    Huevos

    Really enjoyed the Huevos Rancheros and the Steak omelette. The refried beans were quite good. Very friendly staff and fun atmosphere. Menu is full of traditional and authentic Mexican breakfast and brunch items. Nice place to have Sunday brunch!

    Cafe de Olla
    Marybell R.

    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.

    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.

    Deluxe pancakes
    Jenlyn W.

    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.

    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.

    Country fried steak
    Cherise G.

    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.

    La Parada Huevos Rancheros
    Kirby D.

    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.

    Queda birria plate (Tacos) Pancake Plater

    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

    Chilaquiles with verde sauce and La Parada Huevos Rancheros...FANTASTIC

    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!!

    I went here on Sunday mid afternoon before Memorial Day so I assume many students had left town so…read morethe place was pretty empty (so service was excellent.) Was surprised it had a second floor with a small deck and pretty decent views! Big place. Great Happy Hour Deals (half off drinks) and other specials. I haven't eaten breakfast there but the burger I'd put in the top 4 in Reno. It is giant diameter wise but the meat is the same amount of a smaller thicker burger which makes it no too hard to eat. I'd call this a Purist's Burger. Crisp lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mustard, sauce. They went really light on the sauce to the point I didn't think it had any. Fries were excellent too. Price is very reasonable (that's typical near a college.) I've tried Royce, Juicy's, and The Parlor. I'd put Archies below Royce and Parlor but above Juicy's. Two left on my list are Armando & Son's Butcher Shop and of course Beefy's.

    Parking was open at 5 pm on Sunday. Noticed a person sitting in the booth for Archie's parking…read moreonly, monitoring the parking. Other reviewers mentioned parking lot can be quite packed. We found parking right away. We noticed the large banner outside touting best burgers. Was craving fish and chips, buttttt decided to go with a burger. Ricardo was our server.. we were greeted as we were stepping through the door. Told to take a seat anywhere. Ricardo recommended "any" burger with a smile. I asked whether I should order onion rings or fries, he said order the Texas Toothpicks.. Combo of beer battered onions and jalapeños. Ok let's do this. Richard's must have checked in on us 5-7 times during our meal, great service! Actually we had an entire conversation about his service, friendly, efficient, quick, chatty, and gets the order right! Order Bloody Mary served with banana pepper, green olive and lime.. no salted rim, which is fine, missing salty component for me BECAUSE I LIKE SALT... Drink was GOOD. Bloody Mary and Corona brought icy cold within two minutes. Jalapeno burger and fries son loved his burger! Son felt his burger had appropriate amount of salt and great char crusting. Garlic butter burger and Texas Toothpicks which is beer battered onions and jalapeños. In my opinion this burger starts with the bread.. Delicious soft bun that actually fits the patty. The patty had a nice sear on it, it was under seasoned and almost well done. The burger was lacking salt component to complement the garlic. Had the burger been seasoned, and had I have ordered it medium rare, (my mistake) it would have been really good. The burger did come without condiments which I appreciate because I can put my own in appropriate amounts to my liking. I added a pinch of salt, no complaining and we were good to go! I didn't even eat 1/4 of my food! The burgers and portions were HUGE!! The Texas Toothpicks were really good, a good fry was achieved on them. They held up to being dipped in ranch. 1/2 order hot wings and fries The wings were ordered breaded and hot. They had a good crisp, and were fried appropriately! Good amount of salt. The fries were served super crispy, piping hot and perfectly salted. The order came with carrots and celery without having to ask. Ranch.. Ranch is a serious condiment in our household with food like this. It was good. An appropriate amount was served with wings, and of course for us fries and ranch go hand in hand. The restaurant was clean, all staff was friendly and great service!!!

They did my over-medium eggs perfectly, and the brisket was nice and smoky and also surprisingly lean. The braised greens on the side surprised me a little with the flavor at first--I thought it was a bit too salty, but the tang seemed to come from like a vinegar flavor or something, and it kind of grew on me. Went pretty well with the other parts of the meal. I have to admit I was a little surprised the biscuit was a bit dense and dry--still tasted fresh/made, just a bit off in terms of size and taste compared to the rest of the stuff on the plate. We also got the beignets, which came with a nice bourbon sauce, but sadly a few of them weren't cooked all the way through. The interior was very bright (lots of windows) and clean, and the service team behind the counter was very pleasant. Also, I thought the price was fantastic for the special--like $14.95-for a very satisfying and overall well-made meal. We'll be back to try other stuff on the menu.
