Parada Maimon

I like this place. A wide variety though their specialty is Central American Spanish food. The owner told me he moved his family and business down to Philly a few years ago from Spanish Harlem in Manhattan after being in the same location there for twenty years. NewYork just became overpriced for small businesses. He made the right move and the restaurant is doing very well on the corner of 12th and Callowhill Streets in the loft district of East Callowhill. Definitely also worth trying on site meals and sitting outside in the Summer. Nice!

I had the shrimp mofongo, cheese patty and the tamale like appetizer with chicken. Everything was delicious and quickly delivered. I would have liked more sauce with the mofongo, but I will ask for that next time. They ran out of the dessert I ordered and called to ask me what I would like instead (most restaurants on grubhub just give me whatever they want if they run out of the drink or dessert I ordered), which I really appreciated. Must try.

Everything was SO GOOD. I ordered a family meal and it is SO much food. Had some for lunch AND also we will be having it for dinner too. Honestly you really can't beat the price for what you get and the quality of ingredients. Empanadas were great, so were the plantains. Fast delivery too in CC in the rain and to an office building to the 23rd floor. No complaints. Will order again.

Great food at great prices. I've only gotten lunch specials so far, but they are such a great deal (they often last two meals for me) and all that I've gotten have been great. My favorite is probably the salmon fillet. When you order a lunch special, make sure you specify what type of rice (white or yellow) and beans (black or pinto) you want.

AYO deadass? Best food in the city. Im from north jersey and Ive been complaining for months that i cant find a real Spanish spot to eat at and finally this place come up on my radar. Everything is popping, the chicken, the pork, beans, platano, EVERYTHING on their menu smack. Definitely gonna order from here again
