At this feel-good spot in the Haight, you’ll get into pernil asado and charred plantains under a Puerto Rican flag, old family photos, and faux cabinets full of sauces hanging overhead. Easygoing service and a living room-like feel make it easy to linger for a couple of hours—that, and the generous portions. We gravitate toward the sampler plate, which is a great way to try a few heavy hitters and saves you from staring longingly at someone else’s chicharrones. Parada 22 is open all day, every day, so it’s an ideal candidate for any last-minute dinners in the area or lunch after a group stroll through Golden Gate Park.
