La Parada Dominican Kitchen

La Parada Dominican Kitchen serves Dominican meals on Washington Street in Egleston Square. Stewed chicken, stewed beef and roast chicken come with rice and beans, while chicharrón and smoked pork chops offer other choices. Mofongo has its own place on the menu, with versions including chicken, cheese and fried pork.

The restaurant’s name means “the stop,” a reference to the founder’s father’s work as a bus conductor. That makes a fitting introduction to a neighborhood restaurant built around everyday meals. You can also find soups, including mondongo, and seafood such as shrimp in garlic sauce. Plan this as a daytime or early-evening visit: La Parada’s posted schedule ends at six, and the restaurant closes on Sundays.
