La Parada - Indianapolis

My wife and I decided to have an early dinner one Sunday afternoon after a busy day of holiday shopping. I had been craving posole for a while, and luckily it was on the menu that day. My bowl of posole was amazing - possibly the best I've ever had (besides my mom's, of course)! The combination of slight spice, hominy, and pork was perfect. My wife ordered a steak taco along with some chips and queso, which she also enjoyed. I will definitely be coming back for the unforgettable posole. To top off our meal, we shared a Mexican fried ice cream, which was delicious as well.

Best place for late night Mexican food. Great prices! Also free parking on site so you don't have to do street parking/parallel parking. We had fast service and the food was hot and tasty. Also, you can get tomales a la carte DO IT! I'll definitely be back!

I went to La Parada for a treat after work yesterday. I ordered a horchata, steak quesadilla, two tamales (chicken with green sauce), and fried ice cream. The food was delicious!

IMPRESSED by everything! We were genuinely greeted upon arrival at 11:30ish for lunch and seated immediately. It was soon following that the place was full. Waiting for our food to arrive while stuffing the warm chips and awesome salsa in our face, we noticed many plates with a whole fish go by us that looked delicious. We want to go back to try that (besides a number of other dishes). Also while waiting and observing, we saw a sign that they have birria tacos. I've heard so much about them, that we plan on going back to try those. Can hardly wait. Another thing, we both have never found a molé sauce that we like or would eat. We have asked to taste the molé sauce where ever we have been, even Mexico in the past with no luck. We asked for a taste here and finished the whole sample they gave us. It was so good. Again, another dish we plan on going back for soon. Meanwhile, we got our food very promptly. Our server was very good and attentive. Our food was beautifully presented. I ordered the Shrimp Fajitas asking that the vegetables be cooked longer than normal, which they did just that. It were so flavorful and the shrimp were very flavorful, plentiful, juicy and cooked perfectly (not muchy or chewy at all). The salad plate provided plenty of delicious Pico, lettuce, flavorful guacamole and sour cream. Rice and beans were plentiful and flavorful. The tortillas were toasted, thick and warm. Very, very happy with my choice. Hubby got Chicken Enchiladas Verde and was very pleased. Portions are very healthy! The whole time, our server constantly checked back and always asked if everything was okay and kept our drinks full. We both brought home some serious leftovers. I would like to add that the whole time we were there, the lady that was cashier, handling to go orders and helping out in general was cleaning the restaurant every second. Being in prior management, this REALLY impressed me. You just don't see this practice much any more. I also saw many employees hit the hand sanitizer more than once out front as well. Kudos to owner, management and employees. Please keep up the good work. You have a huge fan in my husband and I! BTW...There is plenty of free on site parking.

La Parada is the best Mexican restaurant in Indy, no doubt about it. They offer excellent service, delicious food, and the best margaritas in town.
