Good tacos and burritos, nice lunch spot. We are from San Antonio TX so we are Tex-Mex snobs! This place lives up to excellent quality Tex-Mex!! While you order at the counter, the staff brings the food to table and restaurant was very clean.

My family and I stopped here for lunch driving through. This is a fantastic hole-in-the-wall place. Food was simply delicious . We ordered almost everything on the menu to all try a little of everything. The tamales . The tacos . The smothered burrito . Even their burger was delicious! The cookies they had was so good as well. The horchata drink was the best we ever had! Also had their veggie options which was very good. Wish this place was close to our home!

Have had tacos all over the Southwest and was shocked by the simplicity of these tacos, only to say they are amazing! The meats are so flavorful and the shells perfectly crispy……soooo good.

Mediocre. Nothing special except maybe the name.
With a noteable title one would expect the friendliness for which the culture is noted.
Orders are taken at the counter. You order each menu item separately!
(You also pay separately for each item!)
Gone are the days where you order a dish and the extras come with it!
It is way off the beaten path and accommodates the local business and government offices nearby.

El Parisol on Dinosaur Trail is a little treasure of a home-style restaurant near a largely residential area. The food is fresh and full of local flavors, the tamales are excellent, and I sometimes opt for vegetarian options just because they are so good! Highly recommended for take out or dining in.

I ate a chorizo breakfast burrito with extra red chile sauce here. It was very good. Weighed almost as much as my head. I ate half of it while driving to Pajarito ski mountain. Coffee was decent too.

If you are ever near Santa Fe, look this place up great food, fast. The north store is take out only. South store has indoor seating. The south store has great parking. Best biscochitos I’ve had.

Great place for live music. There’s always something going on. We went for drinks before dinner, but the vibe was lively. After dinner it was packed and there was a band outside. Fun place!

It’s a nice sit-down restaurant but I had to clean off the toilet to use it (in the women’s where someone had clearly peed all over the toilet and the floor). The chips were stale and tasteless–I ended up feeding them to wild birds at the house. Their burgers are A-class, though. No one beats their bacon. It cost almost $30 for 2 burgers and 1 order of chips because of the cost of add-ons.

Good food and fast service. Price is a little on the pricey side but good food and service make up for it. I get my grandson tamales and he really enjoys them.
