What people say
Mexican cuisine is known for its bold and vibrant flavors, and El Parador Cafe on E 34th Street Frnt in New York City certainly lives up to that reputation. As the oldest Mexican restaurant in the city, El Parador Cafe has been serving up delicious dishes since 1959.
One of the standout features of this restaurant is their impressive selection of libations. Whether you're in the mood for a classic margarita or something more adventurous, their shelves are stocked with a variety of options to satisfy any taste.
Their menu is equally impressive, featuring soulful dishes like enchiladas with cheese and mole sauce or picadillo with Huajillo salsa. And if you're looking for something lighter, their Tostada de Camaron with black bean refritos, avocado, and cactus is a must-try.
El Parador Cafe also offers outdoor seating, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a cold Mexican beer during early autumn. And if you're looking for a pick-me-up after a rough night or stormy weather, their friendly staff is always ready to help you put it behind you.
Don't miss out on Happy Hour at El Parador Cafe either - $5 tacos are available seven days a week from 3 to 7 PM. So come on in and let them dazzle your palate with their amazing Mexican cuisine and warm hospitality. Salud!
