I tried the memela and was great. I underestimated the size of it and ordered a side of tacos and I could not finish it. Agua de Jamaica was AMAZING, fresh and not too sweet. It was recommended by locals and was not disappointed.

Absolutely delicious! We got the special beef plate, which we shared between two people. It was so much food we could not finish. Came with warm tortillas, cheese, chorizo and beef (both excellent), cactus, roasted jalapeno, avocado, roasted onion, and numerous sauces and pico de gallo. Phenomenal meal and so reasonable!!

The food was beyond great to be able to taste wonderful local cuisine. Prices were amazing and incredible compared with any other local restaurants. I like the view of the second floor and the service people are also great. We always come back for more each day during our vacation.

Went here as we enjoying going to Mexican local places. Los Pardo's is defiantly a local eatery. Food was very good and great prices. My only complaint is the tables could be wiped down and floors cleaned a little more often. But I would go there again.

Great tacos. Tried the fish (tilapia) tacos and they were great, not the best I’ve ever had, but would definitely go back for them. I have poor Spanish, and a neighbouring table helped us order as communication was tough. 10/10 for authentic Mexican taqueria experience.

Los Parados on Calle Carizal in La Crucecita is hands down the best tacos we have ever eaten. If you are looking for an authentic Mexican taco experience this is it. The restaurant is not fancy by any means but the flavours and aromas are mouth watering. Usually eat here once or twice during a vacation to Huatulco. Highly recommend the tacos arrachera con queso and the costillo (short rib). The restaurant is inexpensive and always filled with locals looking for a delicious meal. The best tacos anywhere around!
