La Parada

firstly, i want to say we were charged $45 for plain fries (which we paid for loaded with beef and cheese, recommended by the owner), three tacos, and one chicken taco salad. my taco salad was in a tortilla bowl that looked as if it was from a walmart isle. the street tacos were dripping with grease and we actually ended up throwing them away. the chicken taco salad was drenched in liquid (unsure if this was grease or sauce) and tasted subpar. should have went to taco bell instead, probably would have saved us at least 25 bucks! save your money, their food is not authentic or worth the money.

They were nice, but 40 minutes waiting on chicken nachos that were stone cold when I got them. There must’ve been 30 people waiting around the truck like a scene with the villagers from Shrek with pitchforks demanding their food. Surprisingly, it still tasted decent even though it was tundra cold. Gonna pass next time.

Looks like I’m not the first person (and likely not the last) to make this review/post. At the La Prada food truck this evening 8/21/25, when the price for my purchase wasn’t as expected, the owner told me that the posting on the truck was old, and that his prices had increased. He did not honor the advertised pricing. Unethical at the very least if not against MD laws. I will not visit this establishment again.

La Parada delivered an unforgettable dining experience! The ambiance was energetic and stylish—perfect for a night out with friends. The food was flavorful and thoughtfully prepared, and the drinks were top-tier. What truly made the evening special was our server, Sharon. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about our experience. From offering great recommendations to checking in at just the right times, Sharon made sure everything ran smoothly and made us feel welcome from start to finish.

LOVE THE FOOD. Great owners and tons of flavor!! I crave the shredded chicken tacos and the special sauce is amazing!! :)
