" El Parasol impressed me with their quality food but disappointed me with their service. I ordered the shrimp tacos, which had a delightful blend of spices, but my waiter seemed preoccupied. The dining area was busy, yet they kept the environment clean and appealing. Still, there’s potential, and I wouldn't refuse another chance to try their food again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a frustrating experience at El Parasol. I ordered a taco salad that was not what I expected. Instead of the traditional layered salad, I received a bowl of lettuce topped with taco filling. The staff didn’t seem to care much when I expressed my dissatisfaction. Credit where credit is due—the tacos were tasty, but the service really affected my overall experience. It wasn't the warm and accommodating vibe I was hoping for. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Parasol continues to impress after several visits. Their combo plate is fantastic value; it comes with rice, beans, and your choice of tacos. I've tried the shredded beef and chicken versions, and both were full of flavor and it’s comforting to know the quality remains consistent. The decor is charming and rustic, making it a pleasant place to enjoy a meal. I highly endorse their salsa, which provides the perfect kick! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've just moved to Santa Fe, and my friends took me to El Parasol. It's a great spot with delicious options! I had the green chile burger, and it was incredible—juicy, spicy, and satisfying. The service was friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere. I can't wait to try their breakfast menu next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" After a long hike, El Parasol was the perfect spot to refuel. The tacos were fresh and delicious, and the staff was prompt with service. I particularly loved the salsa, which had a delightful kick! It had a friendly, unpretentious vibe that I really appreciated. I can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at El Parasol was a disappointing one. Although the atmosphere was fine, the food did not meet my expectations. I ordered the carne guisada burrito, which was on the dry side, and the salsa lacked flavor. On top of that, the service was slow, with my order taking longer than expected. I doubt I'll return soon unless I hear better things. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried their cheese enchiladas and was quite pleased. The sauce was flavorful, and the cheese melted beautifully. Although the service was a bit slow, I believe it was worth the wait. I was hoping for a more vibrant atmosphere, but it was still a good space to enjoy a meal. I would say the portions could be a bit bigger. " (*Curated Review*)
