Parro is controversial?

Only after eating did I realize this place is such a hot topic — but based on my own dining experience this time, it was genuinely great. The restaurant is small and cozy — walked in after 8 PM without a reservation, got seated right away. The staff were friendly, explained the dishes patiently, and gave a heads-up about the steak waiting time — “40 minutes, maybe longer” 😅 Honestly, I was almost starving to death 🫠 But❗️ The moment I took the first bite of that steak — I instantly forgave everything. It was SO fragrant, SO tender — I was literally blown away 🤯✨ 🍊🐟 Orange + Raw Fish Combination Surprisingly harmonious! But❗️ The sauce was a bit too tangy — if you dip too much, it overpowers the delicate fish. 🦐 Tiger Prawns Solid, reliable flavor — no surprises, but definitely satisfying. 🍘 Charred Flatbread Simple, crispy, fragrant — a delightful little carb! 💬 Overall: Yes, the wait was long. Yes, the portions aren’t huge. But that steak alone is worth a return trip — I’ll definitely be back to try more dishes next time! 💃🍴 #ParroReview #AucklandEats #NZFoodie #SteakLovers #CasualDining #FoodControversy #WorthTheWait
