The staff was so kind and nice! We ordered a kids meals for our daughter and asked that it comes out as soon as it's ready. It came out fast and she loved it. I have never seen my daughter eat so much! There was also an appetizer that sounded really good and we asked them if they could make it vegetarian and they did and I'm so glad because it was the best queso I've had! It had mushrooms in it and was so good! I am glad we found this place and we plan to frequent it often!

Our server was attentive and very pleasant. Just a heads up they do not start serving lunch until 12pm. We sat outside by the canal and loved it. We will definitely give it another try. Maybe the seasoning thing was just an off day or because they had just switched from breakfast to lunch.

Posted this same review to google…read more *Warning* to parents of very young children, specifically toddlers and infants. This place has EXTREMELY intense entertainment. We visited this restaurant for the first time on Sunday evening around 5:30 and had a most unpleasant experience. Not due to food- the food was great. Menu selection great, drink selection great. Little pricey, but okay. The initial atmospheric vibe, great. Unfortunately, we were completely unaware of a ritual apparently the restaurant performs periodically. About 15 minutes into of us being there, while we were eating, the lights went dark. After a couple minutes passed and we're wondering what's going on, music started blasting at an insanely loud volume.I love loud concerts and even I was wincing. And then some wild looking alien/robot guy on stilts comes out and starts dancing around. Our 5 year old son had a complete mental breakdown. He is a little sensitive to loud sounds and this scared the absolute daylights out of him. Understandably so, because like I said the volume was violently loud. Due to this alone, we won't be returning. Even without kids. I can't overstate how painfully loud the volume was, at least during this specific instance. It was one of the most uncomfortable dining experiences we've had. It lasted about 10 minutes. It's a real shame too because before the chaos, we were really enjoying ourselves and the restaurant. We were even going to overlook the fact that our waitress forgot to bring my wife's soda. We just wanted to leave after that for fear of it happening again. I hate to sound like a pansy or overly protective parent. It was clearly a "iykyk" thing. Everyone else in the restaurant loved it. Good for them and to each their own. If only someone had come around to the tables with young children and gave a small warning of "hey, it's about to get loud", that would've been great and very helpful. But nothing. Their website doesn't state anywhere that this is something that happens. There are videos of it, which is fine, but the videos do not convey the incredibly loud volume of the place when this action goes down. We won't be returning unfortunately. So fair warning to parents of toddler and infant children- bring soundproof headphones for your littles or prepare to step outside when it goes dark.

We were out for Black Friday and that hankering for queso snuck up. The queso was very good and additive. I ordered the chimi with birria and my aunt had the tamale and chile rellano. My aunt commented that the margarita she ordered which came in a beautiful tall porcelain-looking cup and chile rellano was some of the best, most flavorful she has tried. For me, the same can be said with the birria chimi. The meat was seasoned and succulent and had a rich depth of flavor that made it easy to keep going back for more. I made a comment she needed to bring her husband and I wanted to return some time in the future. The only negative I have to say is service was pretty slow and the place was not too busy otherwise the atmosphere and the decor really set the vibe and tone and El Parian set a high bar

These "minis" were a very nice size, fried to crispy goodness, and absolutely stuffed with filling. Smothered in cheese sauce with lettuce, sour cream, and tomatoes on the side. Everything here is fresh and excellently prepared. For the same lunch price one would pay at "the Bell" you can get real Mexican cuisine dine amidst beautiful ambiance and friendly service at El Parian. I have never been disappointed here.

Sometimes a little slow and can find yourself waiting for water at times. Ambiance/Atmosphere: the inside is very nice and although narrow doesn't feel crowded or stuffy. Lighting is dimly lit enough for a nice date night, but not at all to dark. Food: The pocho burrito was amazing the first time I had it, followed by the second and third time even. Just a delicious burrito with an amazing habanero cream sauce and packed full of all three meats. I'd genuinely argue from my memory that it was the best burrito I'd ever had. That being said, I'd highly recommend skipping to go. The last 2 times I had it which has been over a year because I simple could not return it was just that disgusting. I was disheartened to have wasted my weekly cheat meals on it not once, but twice in arrow of dining here. The shrimp was hard, bland as if nothing was in my mouth, but still disgustingly fishy. The habanero sauce was tasteless and the avacado most definitely was not fresh. The chicken, steak, and peppers along with the tortilla still tasted good, but it was almost impossible to enjoy it pushing past the disgusting shrimp. The enchiladas were ok, but definitely a waste of money and calories. Not at all special. It seems that now this place is doing a bit better and has back to back 4 and even 5 star reviews. I'm giving Pocho's a 3 regardless of how awful my last two experiences were due to the fact the Pocho burrito was truly that delicious the first few times I had it. I raved about it and went back 3 weeks in arrow and even told my friends about it who loved it all the same. I used to even get two dining in and all three times getting it to go. Maybe it was my fault for trusting to go orders to much, but the first time it was just as amazing as dining in. I may give it another try as I truly do miss that delicious burrito, but I've discovered much better Mexican and don't want to risk wasting my time. Only time will tell if I give this place another shot.

Service was a little bit slow at first but our waiter then was on top of everything. It's not overly large but has a mixture of tables and booths and a bar area. Has nice decor inside!

I also got a side of rice and enjoyed that as well. Others in the group enjoyed their meals and drinks as well. Would return if ever back in the area for some yummy food!
