About
El Parasol is the fast-er food sister establishment of El Paragua, which is generally recognized as the best Mexican restaurant in the city of Espanola. El Parasol serves affordable food that is excellent quality for the price; most customers swing by for something to go, but there are also a few seats available inside and out. Unusual for a Mexican restaurant, several vegetarian options are on the menu. Among the offerings for meat-lovers are the giant and delightfully messy tortilla burgers, and the Arroz Con Pollo: a thick stew of chicken and rice which you can also purchase cold by the quart to store in the fridge. - Pip Lustgarten
