1st time eating: Quick Service, Food was brought very quickly and shocking fast. Salsa was good white queso was great. I ordered the Especial El Parian Fajitas and they were absolutely amazing, wife and daughter ordered beef enchiladas with white queso topping with jalapeño and they enjoyed it. Overall it was a great experience…

This place was way better than we expected. We live in Minden and this place is better than any of our local options.
El Parian was quite busy on this Sunday afternoon. This was lunch for us but was closer to supper time.
I love good chips & salsa and these were great. The salsa was the real standout and better than the average red salsa at most Mexican restaurants.
Several of us ordered Petra’s Special which is 3 cheese enchiladas topped with fajita chicken. The plate presentation was excellent and above average for Mexican restaurants. The food was good but I wished I had ordered a different sauce on the enchiladas. I’m not a fan of cheese enchiladas with cheese sauce. My sister said she usually orders them with the sour cream sauce but she forgot. They had a number of sauces to choose from.
The only downside was the service suffered because they were so busy but otherwise it was a great experience.
I would definitely go back for the chips & salsa and to try more dishes.

Being from Texas we were a little skeptical about eating Mexican food so far from home. This was a pleasant surprise! It was authentic Mexican food. The service was fantastic and the food was served quickly and hot. The guacamole Mexicano was AMAZING! You can’t beat the price for the amount and quality of food either.

El Parian always has good food and great service. The food gets to the table insanely fast and always tastes good.
I got the pastor street tacos and they were great! Their spicy habanero salsa is good and the meat had great flavor.
I also got the sopapillas and they were great as well. I forgot to take the before picture, but I would recommend anybody try them.
Price wise is very reasonable. Only issues I’ve had is take out has been a bit of hit or miss. That being said, anytime I have dined in, I was very satisfied. Would recommend!

The food was decent but the student discount only applies if you don’t get a drink, along with this happy hour ONLY applies to house margarita!

Food was very good. The service on the other hand was horrible, the gentleman who was serving us took our order after us sitting there for 20 minutes and we never saw him again after he took our order. I tired to ask for multiple refills and he never paid any attention to us. Even after we went to go pay he still didn’t knowledge us. Will not be back because of that.

This is probably the best restaurant service I have ever had. The servers were there when you needed them and ensured you had drinks, chips and salsa. The taco’s I had were excellent. Thank you El Parian!

FOOD was very good – Pork Street Tacos, Steak Fajitas, Taco Salad. The little touches made it amazing. My street tacs came with lime wedges & roasted jalapeño slices muy rico! When I asked for Green Salsa to go with the taco’s, the server lit up & said “picosa?” ”¡Sí!” It tasted delightful & was ❤️ healthy – I could feel my heart light up!
SERVICE was super fast! I mean REEEALLY fast.
PRICES for the Lunch Specials are some of the best I’ve seen!
