El Parador - New York

Food was not up to the mark but prices are. The food quality is lowered. Too much noise and the server was asked to bring one warm water and one regular but didn’t bother to listen and brought two hot water. Extremely slow and noisy at its peak

Because El Parador has been a tried and true for so many years, it does not get the attention that its carefully prepared food and excellent service deserve. They were all evident when we returned to this old haunt of ours . . . El Parador moves back to the top of the list. It 's not only a great neighborhood place it 's worth leaving your neighborhood for.

Hands down, the best Mexican Restaurant in Manhattan! I lived in Arizona and have been to DOZENS of Mexican restaurants in NYC and have been disappointed at most... El Parador has become my go-to with legit Mexican recipes and incredible quality of food, service, and ambiance. If you like Mexican, it's a MUST visit (Their Enchiladas with mole poblano is the best I've ever had)

Great food. Really attentive service. The room is dark but after a while my eyes adjusted. Would definitely come back.

Excellent classic Mexican food. It's my go to spot in midtown.
