Who would miss seeing this big signage of Pares Retiro at night at the slightly lit street of P. Tuazon near Cubao? I wouldn't miss this. Every time we would pass P. Tuazon, I would always see this Pares Retiro jam-packed with people and crave for pares every time but never got the chance until I suggested that we MUST eat our dinner here after work.
This pares place is located in P. Tuazon corner 17th ave which is near the Ali Mall (Cubao). When you're in Araneta Center Cubao, from Ali Mall, this is a 5 minute jeepney ride or a 5-10 minute walk. It's better to walk in daytime.

When we arrived at past 8 pm, the place had a lot of customers and more customers came in as we finished our meals. I thought to myself that this place is really a best seller even in the wee hours of the day.
They have all the food choices in their menu you can find in a Pares eatery maybe because this Pares is one of the original pares places I think. And they gave us free hot soups after we ordered.
