" Overall, El Parian offers a solid dining experience. Their birria is definitely worth trying, though I wouldn’t recommend their sides as they lack the same depth of flavor. Friendly staff and a casual atmosphere round out the experience. Perfect for a laid-back meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has been a staple in our family for years. Every time we visit El Parian, we indulge in their delicious birria and homemade tortillas. They have a great selection of authentic Mexican dishes. Friendly service and good food, I really can't ask for much more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my trip to El Parian was not what I expected. While the recommendations for the birria were high, I found the meat to be overly fatty and not as tender as I had hoped. The seasoning was good, but overall, it was a letdown. The service was friendly but the wait was longer than I anticipated. Maybe I just caught them on a bad day. " (*Curated Review*)

" The quality of food at El Parian is impressive, especially for a place that looks rather unassuming from the outside. Their birria is definitely the star of the show! The only downside is the parking situation, which can get hectic, but I usually try to go during off-peak times to avoid the hassle. Absolutely worth the drive! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Parian is a hidden gem! The outside doesn't do it justice; the inside is cozy and welcoming. The tacos were incredibly delicious, especially with their signature salsa. However, be prepared to pay in cash only. Overall, an authentic experience that I would recommend to anyone craving Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're hungry for truly authentic, delicious Mexican food, El Parian is the one! Just keep in mind that it's cash only, but the food is worth it! Amazing tacos, especially the birria tacos. Overall a fantastic spot for a casual meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't expecting much from the ambiance, but the food exceeded my expectations! The birria had just the right kick and was incredibly satisfying. The service was respectful, though a bit slow at times. Still, I absolutely enjoyed my meal and will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)
