This restaurant LA GRAN PARADA IS OPEN 24 hours check updates now in nov 2025
I came in here by chance, and I’m so glad I did. I tried the salmon soup, and it was official. The bowl had tender salmon, potatoes, carrots, and a broth that reminded me of clam chowder—comforting and flavorful. It ended up being the most relaxing part of my day, just sitting and watching New York pass by while enjoying this soup. I’ll definitely be back, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for something fresh and satisfying. Entré aquí por casualidad y me alegro mucho de haberlo hecho. Probé la sopa de salmón y estuvo increíble. Tenía salmón tierno, papas, zanahorias y un caldo que me recordó a un chowder de almejas—reconfortante y lleno de sabor. Fue la parte más relajante de mi día, sentado viendo pasar a Nueva York mientras disfrutaba de esta sopa. Sin duda volveré y la recomiendo a cualquiera que busque algo fresco y delicioso.

The staff at La Gran Parada made the environment feel like an authentic seaside restaurant in the Dominican Republic. The food was fresh and delicious. The music was engaging and creates a relaxed mood as my family to tasted the plethora of seafood available on the seafood platter. The food is delicious, the prices are reasonable, the environment is comforting and the location is perfect. One of Washington Heights quite jewels.

Quality control needs improvement. The roasted chicken, rice, and beans are usually good. The customer service is decent. A few times I have ordered chicharron and pernil and the meat had an unpleasant flavor. Another time, the ribs I bought were old and dry. Last time I went, the pernil smelled sour and rotten. I had to throw it all away. El control de calidad necesita mejorar. El pollo asado, el arroz y las habichuelas suelen tener buen sabor. El servicio al cliente es aceptable. En un par de ocasiones el chicharrón y el pernil tenían un sabor desagradable. En otra ocasión, las costillas que compré estaban viejas y resecas. La última vez que fui, el pernil olía agrio y a podrido. Tuve que botarlo.

The place is overpriced and the food is bland. If you want seafood, go a few doors down to Juniors. They're much better.
Called for delivery food ,what I get was cold food and not fresh food , and price to high. I not recommend this place.. food must be hot and fresh ,and juice. Dryer fish look like 2 day in a hot case and rice nasty.totones re fried. 😒 wasted my money here. But no more.
The shrimp and crab pastelitos are horrible. I'm sorry but I like my onions and peppers cooked, the pastelitos are raw inside besides the protien. Never again.
Overall, bad service. I placed an order for my team ahead of time to be delivered through out the day at specific times and every single delivery was almost an hour late. My team had to go on meal late because of that. I will not be ordering for my business through them again. En general, mal servicio. Yo hice una orden con ellos para mi equipo y pedí que llegue a horas específicas del día. Todas las órdenes llegaron casi una hora atrasadas lo cual causó que mi equipo tomara su descanso tarde. No voy a volver a ordenar con ellos en el futuro para mi negocio
Horribles las meseras
It was 1am when I came in to get some food and one of the ladies kept nagging for me to order. I had my focus on trying to select what I wanted to eat and I had expressed that to her. She had a very nasty attitude in rebuttal. The food was good just ignore the older lady’s attitude. She’s always there and that’s just how she is. Very tacky ….
I wasn’t able to finish even a quarter of the food. It did not taste good.
