La Parada

This is a local mom and pop shop, where you run to when you really can’t get home for some good Spanish cooking, but are CRAVING some rice and beans. The price is really cheap as in most Latin restaurants and the food is seasoned really well.
I had the pork (lechon/​pernil) and kindly asked the lady to lather some of the onions from the yucca and she was happy to comply. We also had arroz con gandules (yellow rice with black eyed peas) and sudao de pollo (chicken stew) which were great. The hubby loves the chicken stew because of the seasoning and because he swears it’s healthier than the other fried meats in the place. I wasn’t particularly impressed with the rice, it was more on the bland side but not terrible.
Overall, it is a great place to come grab a quick bite or something to go. They have one picnic table outside for eating, but other than that take out only. They accept credit cards and parking isn’t terrible around here either.

I always get chicken stew con yellow rice. I would give them 5stars but every time I come well most of the time the sweet plantains are always gone no matter the time. But food is great
