    Blue margarita
    Dylan H.

    El Parian is a great spot for a date night or family dinner out! Have been here a handful of times and am always leaving in happy,will be back again and recommending to friends!

    Med margarita, comp chips w/salsa & white sauce. Taco salad  was beautiful, hot, fresh & tasty! I'm bringing half of it home!

    I've been meaning to try this place for a while now and the opp presented itself today! This margarita is very good and has the cutest garnish ever!! It looks like busting sun, but made with a lime! The medium is plenty big! The food was wonderful! I had the taco salad, but there are countless options that all sound spectacular! The salad was presented hot with a freshly made, crispy "bowl," tomatoes and guac! I couldn't eat it all! It's fun to watch the traffic stop while I'm fully relaxing and enjoying myself!

    Enchiladas

    Not too great of a lunch, rice and beans was the best thing in the plate. The enchiladas were very sad. The redeeming item here was the margarita. If I come back, I'll try fajitas or tacos

    Ordered the ribeye with side of rice and beans. The steak is just flank steak, and not actual ribeye. Ordered the ranchero burrito with no tomato and onions, but burritos were made both ingredients. Both of the meals just had a bunch of onions.

    First, the oysters, YUMMM. This is a hidden gem in this area right off of 42. Super friend & knowledgeable service. The gentleman who took our order had remembered w/ no paper or pen. Talk about service! Definitely will recommend & will be coming back for more! Excellent!!

    Taco Salad

    We ordered take out after moving a family member into an apartment in the area. When I arrived the food was all ready to be picked up at the front door in a nice bag to carry it out. The customer service was good and the staff was friendly. I rated this a 3 due to the taco salad being nothing special and lacking flavor. I ordered nachos as well and it lacked flavor and everything was very soggy (tough to do takeout with nachos I understand). The portions on the beans and rice where very generous but the price for everything seemed very high for what we received. We will try a different restaurant next time we're in the area.

    This is your typical sit down Mexican restaurant. Nothing too fancy. The service was good, and the food was too. The burrito was decent, but it could have used more steak and the guacamole salad looked a little sad. I liked the salsa and cheese dip a lot. I would go again to try a different dish and maybe a margarita. My husband was happy with his shrimp and chicken entree.

    Veggie fajitas, no cheese no sour cream

    Fine food, bad service. I got veggie fajitas, no cheese, no sour cream. On the phone, partway through my order, they switched the phone to someone else as they were having trouble understanding me. The new person on the phone also had a hard time answering my question "do the refried beans have lard or dairy?" When I got home I noticed the beans and rice and lettuce container had tons of sour cream, and I had to drive 20 minutes back to have them remake it. They weren't friendly about remaking it at all. The veggies were over cooked, and the flavor of everything was just fine.

    We love Bravis! Their new location is such an upgrade from their previous spot downtown Shakopee…read more Much more seating - booths, tables, picnic table style seats, bar seating. Love the murals on the walls celebrating the Minnesotan culture and icons. The service is always great, and the servers always have a good menu recommendation if you're unsure what to get. The bar has delicious drinks and their Jamaica juice is so refreshing on a hot summer day. Happy hour is a nice discount on some favorite items. I will say anything with shredded chicken isn't my favorite (not enough seasoning on the chicken for my taste) but everything else we've tried is a hit! We always start off with the chips and salsa flight and add cheese sauce - it's NOT a queso, there's no peppers or spice. The creamy green sauce is our favorite salsa they make, it's delicious on everything. The torta is a great choice if you're unsure what to get, the pineapple bowl is awesome if you're trying to share with others. Tacos and burritos are always a hit - I love the crunch of the pork belly and the flavor of the al pastor, taco toppings are onion and cilantro unless you get the loaded taco with slaw. The burrito could probably feed two people with an appetizer. It's a little higher priced than your typical plate of tacos but the quality of the food is always top notch, the kitchen is open and clean, and I've never left hungry or without leftovers. I will note - if you're looking for "traditional" Mexican food this probably isn't the spot you're looking for. It's still delicious just slightly different than what you'd get at your typical taqueria.

    Homemade flavor and excellent service. Hard surfaces so a bit loud inside but plenty of patio…read moreoptions. Never disappointed. Pineapple bowl superb and shrimp outstanding. Most prices, these day, are higher than 12 months ago. Worth every cent.

    I placed my order in person at the restaurant at 5:47 p.m. and didn't receive my food until 6:20…read morep.m. During that time, not a single employee acknowledged me or gave any update on my order. A few of the workers kept looking in my direction, so I assumed my order would be ready soon, and the restaurant was pretty busy, but that wasn't the case. I even walked to Speedway next door, came back, and my food still wasn't ready. I watched multiple DoorDash drivers come in, wait briefly, and leave with their orders, many of which were fulfilled before mine. I had only ordered six tacos, yet I waited over 30 minutes, along with several other dine-in customers who also seemed to be waiting a long time. On top of the wait and lack of communication, the tacos themselves were disappointing--mostly packed with cilantro and barely filled with steak. It was disappointing to see online orders consistently prioritized over guests who took the time to come in and order directly. I've never experienced that kind of service imbalance at a restaurant before.

Be tentative to what you will or won't like going on with your food! Like crusty edges off the grill going on someone plate or old dry meat being used that you won't want to eat but your trying not to be wasteful so your customer can take it to go so they won't complain in your face! I know the trick of trade in the food industry! Quite sad but please do better at your establishment several times I have gotten old or mediocre food stop rushing for the people who think they want their food fast and slow down and do it right please it will be better and bring in more wealth!
