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! read more

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. read more

Parada 22 - Pernil Asado, Pastelon, and a side of Tostones - Latin American Near Me - San Francisco, California

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. read more

Sat. @ 5:00, place was hoppin, probably 10 tables and only 1 server, Erik E., but he was great. First time here and I will be back ! Guest & I each had Mofongo Supremo w/Pork, yellow rice, beans, salad and plantains. My goodness, the portion was HUGE, except the beans, would have a loved a few more of those. Especially appreciated the food was HOT upon delivery. Cool food is my biggest pet peeve. Nice presentation and super fast. Most diners were outside, but the inside is pretty cute and charming. I'm excited to return and try something else. Many great options on the very large menu. Best part, within walking distance of my house. read more

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.

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! read more

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! read more

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! 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 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

Parada 22 - This was new to the menu. Very similar to Arancini. Delicious! - Latin American Near Me - San Francisco, California

the pork mofongo is incredibly tender and the garlic broth tastes amazing. sharing a side of sweet plantains makes the whole meal complete.

First time coming to this place and it exceeded my expectations! The menu has a variety of options and the food was delicious and packed with so much flavor! And to top it all of the service was top notch. The owner Eric and the waiter Alex were so friendly and made us feel so welcome. We will definitely be coming back.

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

Parada 22 - Pernil- Puerto Rican slow cooked pork platter - Latin American Near Me - San Francisco, California

10/10 food. Amazing service. Puerto Rican food done RIGHT! And they have amazing tacos, too

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

Overall disappointing Both of us had the bistec sandwich with plantain fries. Steak: overcooked, chewy, didnt taste any marinade or seasonings Fries: not very seasoned or flavorful. On the soft side rather than crispy but thats fine if it tasted better. Sauce: good, creamy. The only thing that gave the meal flavor read more

Delicious food, super friendly service. Highly recommend! World Cup game playing in the kitchen. Excellent stop for lunch.

Amazing food and excellent service. Prepare for a slight wait before you get seated because it's super popular.

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

I'm from NYC so I'm spoiled for choice when it comes to Puerto Rican food. This definitely made me feel like I was in Puerto Rico with the decor, and salsa playing in the background. The server was nice, and the food was flavorful, well-priced, and the portions were decent. I wanted to love the mofongo but it wasn't for me. Either way, this is a solid choice if you're craving a little piece of the island. read more
