What UrjaUpadhyaya doesn't like about El Parador:
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 View all feedback. What Mike's Nomadic Travels likes about El Parador:
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) View all feedback.

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.
The Lobster Cerviche might possibly be one of the best dishes I have had in several years!
