Parada Maimon

The food is always good, but I've had two different experiences the two times I ordered from them. We have a work program where we have to order thru Uber Eats, for delivery only, so this is my second time having them and I have not been to the store yet. The first time, I was craving ropa vieja, so I ordered the "Beef Stewed, from the "a La Carte" section, with a description that says, "served in separate containers" for $15. It came with rice and beans, which surprised me, because it said "a la carte," but made sense that it would be a complete platter, considering the price and the note about it being served in separate containers. I also ordered a salad and a tres leches cake. The was perrrrrfect. The meat was so tender and so flavorful. The rice and beans were perfect. The salad wa

First, what's with it being so dark inside like a club sans the glitter/disco ball? The food was horrible! I wanted arroz con gandules y pollo gisado but they had none. The owner recommended the half chicken meal for $12.95. I went with that and a bottled soda. I told him I wanted yellow rice with black beans. He gave me white rice. I had him change it to what I asked for, yellow rice. The chicken was dry and flavorless and the beans were ultra salty! Never again!

I have eaten here many times during the time I have spent here in Philadelphia… I will be leaving Philly shortly, so I felt compelled to write a review about this restaurant…. Although I have basically tasted the entire menu, I would say that their Rabo Encendido (oxtail stew) has always been a standout; the meat falls off the bone and it is submerged in a rich, deeply seasoned sauce. Their Pollo Guisado (specially the family combo was always a home run)… If you’re looking for something that’s definitely a Dominican plate, I would recommend the Mofongo con Chicharrón, which I recommend eating it in house to enjoy it hot (don’t have this delivered)…. Make sure to get it with the accompanying broth (can be a little garlicky FYI). As far as the ppl that work there…. Every single time the

This place is one of the most authentic Dominican restaurants I've been to so far! From the decor, the friendly staff and the food, everything was fantastic! Definitely looking forward to come back! Highly recommend!

If you find yourself in Callowhill/Spring Garden/Center City very hungry, in a bit of a rush, and wanting to feel like a human being, Parada Maimon is a must. Even without those conditions, it’s a great choice. Their food is delicious, the atmosphere is cozy, the value is unmatched. There have been multiple occasions where this restaurant has taken me from stressed and hangry to full and relaxed. I tend to get roast pork with rice and beans, but I have never been upset with anything I’ve ordered.
