"True to its namesake, this is a standing-room-only taquería, and a perfect spot for a mid-afternoon snack. The tacos de chile poblano con queso is a must-order (and only costs around $2.50 for an order of two) and their specialty—machitos de carnero, or finely chopped and perfectly cooked goat tripe—is equally as good. Try them both with their salsa morita and some sliced onions with lime from the condiments station. Even though you rarely see desserts at taquerías, Los Parados makes an incredible arroz con leche that’s not too sweet and incredibly satisfying." - guillaume guevara

"Taquería Los Parados is a no-frills establishment known for its charcoal-grilled meats, including bistec, costilla, and al pastor tacos recommended by Michelin Inspectors." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Don't expect a sit-down experience at this taqueria that has been open since 1965, as there are no chairs, but metal shelving subbing in for tables does the trick. Charcoal grilled meats are their specialty, and everything is cooked to order. Finished to a medium-well, the bistec enjoys a subtle smokiness from the grill, while the costilla is equally delicious in all of its razor-thin, well-done glory. Al pastor tacos are also a sure bet." - Michelin Inspector
