Parada 47

I got a carnitas burrito with avocado, mexican rice, and pico de gallo. The carnitas was decent though not very flavorful; rice was a bit on the dry side; and the cilantro in the pico wasn’t chopped enough and I got stuck munching on some stems. Overall, not bad, but nothing to write home about.
Disclaimer: I’m that obnoxious person constantly looking for California-​style Mexican food everywhere.

Wonderful food. My family and I ordered a delivery smorgesborg with lots of different things and everything was wonderful. Our favorites were the shrimp tacos and Tex Mex Quesadilla. The guacamole was fresh and delicious and not too garlicky like some others I’ve had. Overall, some of the best Mexican any of us have ever had.
The customer service was great. They didn’t have something we ordered and called us right away to replace it. One person in my family is allergic to avocados and they were great about packing separately. Delivery was fast.
We got a lot for our money and loved every bite. Comida igual de su abuela. Wonderful!

Legit Mexican food at legit prices.

Can’t comment on the food, because I had to cancel the order after waiting over 1 ½ hours for it to be delivered and calling 3 times. After having been told it was «on its way» twice, on the third call I was told the delivery person was stuck waiting to make another delivery, no response to my question of why didn’t he leave and deliver other orders now getting cold and soggy. So I asked to cancel and the response was a loud tirade about how he was on his way (I thought he was stuck?) and how she was going to call him, etc. I had to practically shout into the phone to get a word in edgewise and cancel the order.

A tiny place with several vegetarian options. The best were the cheese enchiladas with green sauce, although they weren’t my favorite in HK. There’s really no service to speak of; the place is very mom and pop and you’re kinda on your own unless you speak up.

Back-​to-​basics, home-​cooked, minimal and delicious Mexican food served in a very simple kitchen. The food was all freshly made and supremely filling, the owner is friendly and welcoming, the food is stupid cheap, and I’ll definitely return.
Not for fussy or demanding crowds. If you can’t appreciate a gem of a dive, don’t come here.
Takeout game is strong. I had the fajitas with guacamole and chips and recommend them both.

Stocked up on lunches for the week:
Consome de Chivo ($ 6.00)
Mole Poblano Con Pollo ($ 10.00)
Pork Al Pastor Plate ($ 10.00)
Received a call moments after ordering to inform they were out of Mole Poblano. Maybe it’s super good since they sold out half way through their day? I am still a sad panda, as that’s my favoritest dish every… but both people I spoke with were SOOO super nice that I kinda had to get over my first world self, and get excited about Bistec con Salsa Verde.
Delivery time was good.
Consome de Chivo was awesome. Super flavorful broth. Tender goat. Spicy. Yum!
Tortillas handmade and very good.
And that’s as good as the order got.
Al Pastor flavor was on point. Nice presentation. Though the chicken was as cooked as it could be without venturing from tender to touch. It would be a good enough tender for devouring now. Not sure it’ll hold up to reheating in the microwave…
Bistec wasn’t marinated for half as long as it should have been… and wasn’t pounded enough to help tenderize it. Chewy
Rice & Beans? Meh. Didn’t taste that good, or right.
All decent portions for the price… but I’d rather pay more if it meant all meats were tender, and the sides enjoyable. I’d consider ordering again if planning to eat the food as soon as it arrived… but would avoid the beef dishes… try the quinoa to see if it was better than the rice and beans… and probably go with burritos/​enchiladas/​dishes where everything is mixed together, rather than the entrees where everything stands alone, and really can’t help enhance each other.

Steak burrito is really good!

Ordered Delivery —
Delivery guy calls me to come down to the lobby (I’m not supposed to leave my desk, reception, ya know) and says he ‘doesn’t have ID’
Seriously?! How do you deliver anyone’s food in NYC?
Ordered the chicken Enchilada with roja sauce. Got some mess of tortillas with chunky, grisly chicken and watery spicy sauce, covered in shredded lettuce, some indistinguishable white, cottage-​cheese-​like stuff and radish (?)
I was so excited to find an enchilada with red sauce –and expecting a cheese slathered, shredded chicken with sumptuous flavors smothered in a delicious red sauce —
and so horribly, horribly disappointed by what I received.
Really really BAD
EDIT: Almost immediately after eating this (I was too hungry to deal with any other option) I start experiencing severe stomach cramps. Thank god I carry activated charcoal with me. Who knows what kind of horror show would have ensued.

Probably the most friendly staff I’ve ever encountered. The owner is a hard working man who delivers some of the most delicious and cheapest Mexican food in the neighborhood. I normally get the burrito, but for a nice dinner get the steak fajitas. Also open for breakfast, but haven’t had the privilege of getting it yet.

Back and better than ever! After being closed for almost a year Parada (née Guelaguetza) re-​opened sans deli counter and with a number of tables so you can eat-​in. Not sure why they renamed the place, but from what I can tell, the food is the same as before (and by that I mean absolutely delicious).
The steak torta and guacamole are my personal favorites, though I’ve yet to go wrong with anything I’ve ordered here. Prices are dirt cheap and I’ve never had to wait more than 10 mins for my food. Perfection.

My go to is the Carnitas Burrito and the guacamole! So good!

David and wife are awesome to start with. Very fresh food everyday. Recently RE-​OPEN, Parade 47 sets itself apart from the rest. Their tortillas are not factory quality. You can tell the difference. So far I have had their daily specials and their chilaquiiles. All I can say is I’m glad we have them

Great Mexican food at great prices half a block away from work. What more could I want?
