La Parada Taco Shop - Lakeside

Great Mexican food! Don't let the name turn you off like it did for me. It took me a long time to try this place and I'm glad I did. It's not your typical greasy Mexican taco shop. Expect restaurant quality food. The salsas are awesome and their homemade chips are amazing (not greasy! . Expect your food to take a little bit of time because they make your food to order. Fresh and tasty. Big portions. Be careful or you'll over order. If you do, the food reheats quite well. Prices are cheap! This does not translate to cheap food. I've tried about half the menu and did not have anything below a B rating. I'll be trying the wings next time and possibly the burger. The staff is wonderful. Polite, gracious and generous. I recommend ordering, grab a stiff drink at the CooCoo, go back inside and have chops and salsa as you wait for your glorious Mexican food. I'll post next when I've tried 3/4 or more of menu. Ok.. Recent updates: Pollo Asado is off the hook good. Highly recommended. Potato taquitos are the bomb Veggie burrito is pretty good!

I just wanted to thanks all my costumers for taking a little bit of time to write good comments ..thanks you...

Legit Mexican next to the CooCooClub. Cali burrito is awesome and the people are super nice.

Formerly La Parada is now Wings Mix Don 't let the name confuse you the Mexican food here is legit. The Burritos are super cheap and really big. Service here is awesome and always friendly.

What kind of taco shop charges you for salsa?¿ I spend almost 10 bucks on a burrito and they only gave me 2 very little cups of salsa. Asked if I could have 2 more and the lady says I have to pay .25 each cup. The price of the salsa isn't the problem. The problem is that I spent 10 dam dollars for my burrito and shouldn't have to to pay extra for something all taco shops give out out for free. Won't go back based of principal. Besides that, the food wasn't very good. Burrito was taco bell size and lacked flavor. Much better places to go around lakeside.
