El parral syosset ny in Syosset

Friends who have been coming to this restaurant for 40 years took us while we were visiting. Delightful, cozy place with a nice blend of Spanish and Italian dishes. The Spanish chips are fantastic, definitely start your meal with these! I had eggplant parm (made as requested without the cheese) which was delicious -- just the right thickness of eggplant, not greasy or tough, and a nice sauce. Husband enjoyed his shrimp in green sauce, reminded him of his favorite place in the city that went out of business years ago. Finished with the chocolate (flourless) cake, not too sweet and the perfect portion to share.

Fabulous. One of a kind

Not bad, but just as Italian as Spanish. If you want real Spanish and Portuguese cuisine you will have to trek to the Ironbound section of Newark. Anything else is mediocre unless you go to Spain.

Absolutely loved it!!!!

I'm going to this restaurant for many years I've not been there in a while went to the back of the food was absolutely terrible will never ever go back again

Amazing food. Get the shrimp in green sauce amazing!

Went there for after Christening luncheon. Too crowded at tables. Mediocre food.

Very good food. Chicken ajillo is excellent.

Tasty

This site is my first choice site. Of all restaurants I know I like it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to this restaurant. everytime I feel like having a good lunchon, this place comes instantly to my head. good and food and a rich menu.great team, and nice vibes. Also, the tariff is modest. I tell about this spot with no hesitation.

Five stars for friendly service, one star for the food. My parents have gone here many times and have raved about it. Since the closing of House of Spain in Merrick, and then the tragedy that happened at Casa Luis, I've been on a search for great Spanish food. I ordered the chicken villeroy and what I received was pretty bad. Small pieces of chicken just buried within the huge square pieces of fried bechamel. The size of these pieces is very deceiving. Not only that but the chicken I received was inedible. It was actually gray, indicating old and spoiled chicken. The texture was so off that I spit out the first bite. Nothing here impressed me at all. Unfortunately, the Spanish hunt continues.

Bad experirence, food came out cold,had spanish pork chops,very dry,my wife had chicken dish,no flavor ,pasta side dishes again cold. This is the second BAD experience in a row!

Seafood- dish lobster,shrimp,scallops, and clams were DELICIOUS

Went there for my anniversary Very nice place, food was very good service and friendly. Manager or owner came to our table spoke with us. Felt very welcomed recommend this place.

I really like their food. I always get fantastic customer service here. The place is clean and the staff members are always super friendly. I highly recommend this place.

Food is great. This place been here forever

Food was pretty good. Not everything one the menu is a 4 star. I try to stick with sea food. They're not really good with steaks. The pork chops aren't bad either. The service was pretty good as well.

Good food, fair service needs improvement

Over 40 years and still strong!

Good service, awful food, and even worse, it's EXPENSIVE!

Been going there for years. Best Spanish food around, with a few Italian items for variety. Great service and very homey.

The food is incredible and the staff are always a delight to speak with.

Both the food and service are terrific

Great little restaurant. They serve good food, which is a blend of Spanish and Italian dishes. But they have a few signature dishes that they do very well. Their thin-sliced potato fries and their salsa verde are not to be missed.

Awesome Food/Service

Food good, service excellent that's all u need to hear...

Food was very good, Rudy our waiter was very helpful, pleasant and did not rush us through dinner. Looking forward to many more dinners.

Very good food suggest you try it you will like it

One of my three favorite restaurants. Have been going there for 37 years.

Delicious!

Not as good as previous visits Same owner lots of new wait staffNot attentive as before

Great food and awesome staff! Always a pleasure to visit.

Love this place. Staff is always friendly and helpful. They have made me dishes of the menu. Food always fresh. Hidden gem.

Mexican Italian restaurant... Mostly good food. I've been there many times Italian is good, Mex is okay

Been going here for years. The chicken Ajillo is superb! So are the other dishes, but there's really no comparison if you enjoy garlic based meals.

At one time this restaurant was really good we hadn't been there in a while went there the other night will never go back the food was terrible tasteless

Excellent

Have been going here for years. Amazing food, incredible service, wonderful people. Not overpriced.

Amazing food. Great sevice get the chips.

We've been coming here for years. My favorites are the mariscada in green sauce and the veal smothered in grilled onions. Mmmm!

Below average for Spanish food.

Amazing food. Nice enviroment. We had a great time. Love it.

I really liked the food. It was a large group of us close to 20. The only complaint was the staff didn't check on us to ask for refills on drinks. The restaurant was empty besides our tables so I was a little confused about the staff not checking on us a little more. They refilled our water and brought everything out around the same time. Everything was hot and tasted delicious. I'm sure if I went back with a smaller group the service would have been just a little better.

Maria is the best! Fantastic food. Don't miss the sangria

Have been going to this restaurant for over 40 years. The food is consistently delicious. Highly recommend it!

Definitely a place worth stopping over, the food is fantastic and fresh, the rates are reasonable and it is regularly clean there. Keep it up.

A staple in the community, good food and service

I have been eating here for over ten years with my family-for the price the food is fantastic-my favorite-shrimps in green sauce with many shrimps in smooth herb sauce-I don't know what food experience some of the other "critics" have had but even the Spanish Chips are well worth it-not simply "potato chips" but freshly cut slivers of potatoes fried -a real treat. My wife loves shrimps extrema-evey meal comes with a salad-the house dressing is very good-shrimps oreganata? The only place that could compare would be the old style Italian restaurant now closed-Rizzo's Restaurant in Astoria-here you have great food at great prices!!!!!!!!!

Best Italian and Spanish combo
