We just dined at El Parral to celebrate our 56th Anniversary. We've dined here many times in the past 44 years and as always, the meal was everything we expected. Delicious food, great service and we were treated so well by the staff. We even had them take our picture so we could always remember this milestone in our story.

Two years later and still very good value for not much money, knowledgeable and friendly service, nice area, and excellent food. My wife enjoyed the three butterflied lobster tails and I was very happy with their veal "extremena," which came as several thin cutlets ("scallopini") topped with onions, peppers, green peas and sausages in a delicious sauce. Before coffee and dessert, our waiter asked, "anything to go?" I responded, "yes, we want to take the chef to go."

Started going to El Parral around 1978. It always been absolutely delicious. I love the paella dishes as well as the mariscada in green sauce. With new ownership, it's still e best.

Ambiance (4/5): The inside was fairly empty on a Friday night with approx 4 tables occupied. The establishment is nicely lit and has a full bar as well. Minimalistic decor. Service (5/5): I really wanted to love this spot because our server was so friendly and enthusiastic with the drink and food recommendations! He said he knew the regular patrons and we were newbies, which shows attention to his guests! The food came out decently fast. Food (4/5): The meal came with a free starter of table bread and salad! The bread was very meh but I enjoyed the salad dressing! Mariscadas al Ajillo: the seafood bits were cooked perfectly! Nothing tasted overcooked or fishy. The sauce had a good amount flavor. It was reasonably priced for the portion of seafood in the stew. The yellow rice that comes it does a good job in soaking up the sauce. My only thing was that the sauce could have used a little more flavor. Paella Valenciana Speciality: This dish was not something write home about. The rice was not throughly seasoned through and bland side--it was as if the meat and veggie toppings were thrown on top rather than cooked into the rice. The rice went well with the extra Ajillo sauce from my dish. I liked the sausage but not the chicken as much. I really wished the flavors were integrated better.

Came here with a big party of friends to catch up one evening. I had never been inside but it was well decorated and I had heard great things about the food. Once our party was seated they delivered complimentary salads for each person with an incredible dressing that I loved every second of! We also had some wine which was great. Our waiter took our order and I went with one of the specials that had baked ziti, eggplant parm and veal parm. It was a great sized dish and came out very timely. The sauce tasted authentic and the eggplant was sliced nice and thin. I loved my dish and made sure the plate was clean lol. I absolutely loved it here, as did everyone I came with. Everyone loved their dish and we had such a great time. I hope I come back here soon!

Good food at reasonable prices with exceptional service makes this a restaurant that you'll want to return to often.

Been here twice, both times the food was amazing and so was the service, our waiter was very attentive and funny, definitely coming back!

Simple food cooked well. One server and one bus boy held down the fort tonight. He was really friendly. It wasn't a crowded night at all. The complimentary salad and delicious house dressing made this place especially charming. I had minestrone soup and chicken francese. Both were great. The menu had a lot of options to choose from. Each table also receives a bread basket with warm bread. Looking forward to going back one day!
