Parada 22 sits in Haight-Ashbury, decorated with a Puerto Rican flag, old family photos, and faux cabinets stocked with sauces overhead — a room built to feel like someone's living room. Service is easygoing, and portions run generous enough that a couple can linger over a meal for a while.
The menu runs through Puerto Rican staples: mofongo (including a mofongo supremo with tostones), pastelón, chicharrones de pollo, slow-roasted pork, and pernil asado, alongside sides like arroz con gandules and fried plantains. A sampler plate lets a table work through several of the heavier dishes at once, and coconut flan and mango cake close things out. The kitchen describes its approach as time-honored recipes with local inspiration, and the restaurant is Latinx-owned.
