Parrot’s Cracker Bar and Grill

When you pull up to Parrot’s Cracker Bar and Grill, the first thing you will notice is the bright colors and tall palm trees. You will feel like you’ve just stepped into a tropical food paradise, and you have!

As you walk into Parrot’s Cracker, sit down at the bar for a cocktail at happy hour between 3 and 5, or grab a table by the window, pick up the menu and get ready to make one of hardest decisions of your life: What amazing dish will you pick out of all these options?! Don’t stress too much, you could close your eyes and point and you’d put your finger on something fresh, delicious and incredible. Ordering an appetizer is a must; you can’t come here and just try one thing! We aren’t sure if chefs Robbie and Cesar even own a can opener, since everything they make is made with only the purest and freshest ingredients. The fish and chips get consistent rave reviews for being crispy on the outside, flaky and flavorful on the inside. The fries are cooked to a golden brown and will leave your taste buds doing the happy dance. The Chicken Swiss Enchiladas practically fall off the huge plate, as the tortillas are piled with tender chicken, fresh tomatoes, Swiss cheese, rice and of course the Parrot’s secret enchilada sauce recipe.  Parrot’s Cracker prides itself on healthy, affordable and fresh ingredients, so you can be sure you’re getting the best no matter what you order.

When you finally give your order to the friendly and knowledgeable servers, sit back, relax and enjoy the atmosphere. During the week you can dance the night away to live music performed by resident guitarist Mike Byrne, and you can expect guest appearances by talented bands from the US and Mexico. Are you San Felipe’s next big star? Get up on stage every Friday night and entertain the crowd with your karaoke talents. Whether you’re here celebrating your honeymoon or you’re bringing the whole family, Parrot’s Cracker is a place everyone will want to come back to again and again. 

The beer is ice cold and the cocktails are tasty and make a perfect addition to a fun filled night in San Felipe. You won’t wait long for refills or service while you’re here, the customer service is second to none. Don’t be surprised if you are greeted by a server but leave Parrot’s Cracker with a new friend. Friendly and focused on making sure you have a great time, you will feel well taken care of from the moment you sit down. This place does get busy for dinners and on the weekends, but you’ll never feel like “just another table.” Regardless of how busy the restaurant can get, you can expect to feel like your server’s one and only focus. In an industry where the focus is getting people in tables, fed and out, you’ll appreciate the relaxed feel of Parrot’s Cracker. No rush, no deadlines, no hurry. You’re on vacation and when you’re here, you feel it.

When your food finally arrives, you’ll need to rearrange the table to fit these large portions! And good luck fitting all of the deliciousness into your stomach! There will probably be a take-home bag in your near future. Perfectly seasoned and expertly cooked, every dish from the hamburgers to the fresh fish will amaze you.

At the end of the night, when you’ve made a few new friends, had a few drinks and danced to a few songs, you’ll reluctantly have to head home. When the bill comes, you’ll be pleasantly surprised. The prices are very reasonable, especially for the unbelievable quality of the food and the service. The closed sign goes up at 10pm, but you can come right back at 2pm the next day after a day exploring the city or hanging out by the pool. Many travelers end of spending more time at Parrot’s than anywhere else because they meet new friends and can’t get enough of the food. Don’t be surprised if the whole family is asking to go back to Parrot’s Cracker. 

There may be a night or two that you’re craving Parrot’s famous shrimp tacos, but you can’t find the energy to change out of your bathing suit. That’s fine! Call in, place your order and stop in to pick it up. Enjoy the savory tastes of Parrot’s Cracker in your bathing suit by the pool. Now if THAT doesn’t scream vacation paradise, nothing does!

Parrot’s Cracker is not just a great restaurant; it’s a great experience.
