Rise and shine Parada 22 lovers! It’s time to strap on those Prada’s and strut on over to our little gem in the rough this morning! Yes, it might be early, but you will definitely beat the crowds of other brunch wanna-be’s and satisfy your appetite in Parada today! Brunch starts at 9am, unlike the rest of the late sleeper restaurants, which start at 10/10:30am. Apparently, they didn’t get the memo that some early bird risers actually like to have brunch before 11am and that’s why the stoves have been fired up for you! Now off that note, the buzz on the web and in San Francisco, is to surely devour yourself into their drenched Italian, herb gravy biscuit, which is off of, San Francisco’s, Boogaloos menu. Don’t forget the trimmings of fresh cut green onions are sprinkled on top of that mouth watering biscuit, but if one hates onions, have no fear, we can toss them out! Parada wants to satisfy that appetite and that tummy, so if one needs a little something dashed out of a certain dish, let them know. They are here to serve and satisfy! Don’t forget about the complimentary Mimosa for you, when one walks through that door, everyone needs a little kick for their morning delight!

Well, it’s spring training for our favorite 2010 champions, the San Francisco Giants! During their training, they will need to fuel up and hopefully we will see them back for seconds at our home plate! But besides that, they aren’t the only ones that need to fuel up for some authentic dishes! San Franciscan’s need to strap on those Prada’s or running shoes and make it a run for it, like Forrest would and devour their faces into our Puerto Rican cuisine. If one is remotely clueless about Parada’s type of cuisine, you might not to get the memo on what they offer and how those taste buds respond to the stimuli. For starters, how about sautéed caramelized onions drenched on a bed of sirloins steak? Well, if that intrigues that appetite, then order the Biftec Encebollado and a chilled Negro Modelo to finish off those taste buds. If that doesn’t really catch your eye and vegetarian options are your only choice, Parada has that under control. How about this? Do plantains usually appeal to those eyes on the menu? To most populated cities, plantains are encouraged to any type of eating machines. Try Parada’s Mofongo de Camarones, which is fresh green plantains, mashed with veggie Sofrito and Camarones a la Criolla. And if that still leaves one questionable on what that exactly is, then come into Parada today and find out for yourself, what the entire buzz is about!

San Francisco better be ready for Parada 22’s brunch weekends! Is everyone tired of waiting until 10 or 10:30am to eat and sip on those sparkling Mimosa’s? Well, Parada thought of everyone first and decided 9am is the perfect time to feed those hungry tummies and wet those whistles! Let everyone else set up for brunch, when Parada is a head of the game and waiting for you to snag a seat and eat! If one is not familiar with Parada’s food, you might be aware of Boogaloos on Valencia, in the Mission, because their menu will be part of their weekend brunch options. And if you still haven’t snagged a seat at Boogaloos for breakfast, check out Parada’s site for a sneak peek of their brunch, lunch or dinner options! They are open every day and waiting for those taste buds to be satisfied! So, San Francisco remember…..9am,set the date!

Good morning, good day or good evening to you Parada 22 eaters! This weekend get geared up for Parada 22’s brunch launch! Did those ears hear it right, Parada is having brunch? Yes, it is true and not a hoax! Every Saturday and Sunday, the morning begins with drenched, mouth watering plates! And we aren’t talking about the plates that are oh so delicioso! But if you have finished your brunch delight, licking the plate after wards wouldn’t be an insult, but a complement to the chef! If something is so orgasmic, you have to lick the plate, then maybe asking for seconds wouldn’t be too shabby! So, since that brain is racking for images on those hot plates, what will be on the agenda this weekend? Well, for starters, buckle yourself into that first seat, grasp some kind of utensil to devour the goods and order the first thing that makes your eye pop! And if the whole menu makes those eyes pop, jaws drop, then order it all! So, to intrigue you all, there will be Chorizo and eggs, buttermilk pancakes, biscuits drenched in herb cream gravy, your symbolic San Francisco breakfast burrito, a dash here and a poof there and what appears? An omelet has arrived! And that’s not the whole itinerary! The menu options just keep going and going! If one decides to have friends tag along and brunch is not on someone’s agenda, no worries, the other non-brunch menu items will be in order! And don’t you worry vegetarians; we thought of you too! You can’t be left out in the cold, with no tummy to be filled! We have those veggie item treats, but you will just have to come in for yourself to see what you can store in that tummy!

The weekend is almost here and that work week is about to end, so what’s for dinner? Or should we say, what’s for lunch? Don’t rack that brain or scatter the internet for recipes on what to make this weekend, skip it all! Parada 22 should be your only option or else, one might have to walk the plank! Give that kitchen a break, it’s tired and just plain worn out. Did you ever think that your gas burning stove is exhausted or that your oven is just burned out? Think for yourself and think about what your kitchen needs. Give those feet a rest and slip into a seat at this vibrant, over stimulating Puerto Rican spot! The aromas make those teeth sweat, the spices can clear those senses and one bite into Pernil Asado can make one go into a coma. Don’t have a heart attack just yet, just attack that first plate that intrigues those senses and devour it. You think your taste buds have finally been rescued? Well, save some for later or take a little extra to go and give that kitchen a taste of what Parada has done for you! Start your engines, light the gas, flame it up and your kitchen might go on strike, until Parada makes its appearance on the stove again!
