We always get seated quickly, the servers are friendly, and the food hits the spot. I always order my usual cheese enchiladas and their sauce combined with the cheese is consistently balanced - just the right amount of food. I appreciate this El Parasio for their consistency and taste, and that will always deserve 5 stars in my book. If you're hungry and looking for Mexican in the area, definitely stop in here, you won't regret it!

In short Clean, bright, friendly family-style Mexican place…read more Full bar, plenty of TVs. In long I definitely miss the awesome Thai place that used to be here, but Luna offsets that nostalgia. They're doing a great job. There's a cool courtyard, with iron fencing and gating that seems to suit the Mexican decor even better than it did the previous tenant. There's a good-sized winding dining room indoors too. Brightly-colored paint, nice matching tables and chairs, some big screens probably tuned to the game. Service is right on point, cheerful and low-key, ready to make you feel right at home. You get a menu right away, water with chips and salsa in a minute or two. The drink menu isn't the main focus, but you get basic versions of most anything. I had a Luna Margarita with lots of fresh fruit in there--even had to clear the straw at one point. The chips and salsa are generic. Just pico and tomato sauce stirred up. Would be nice to see them make something in house, but not too many places do that (fewer than you might think). The carne seems to be the star of the show, and it was tasty. Ordered medium and came out closer to well, but still fully tender and juicy. Tortillas were fine, the roast corn and scallions were good, and the rice and beans held up their end of the bargain. Little bit of guac and fresca in the middle of the plate. They're working hard for your Mexican food dollar, and if you're anywhere nearby, they're easily worth a stop.

She took us to the back which featured a bar area and twinkling lights on the ceiling! Loved the plants and decors on the wall. Our server was so attentive and kind! Me and my girl friend's husband ordered the Mar Y Tierra, thinly cut steak with garlic shrimp and mushrooms on the slide with rice, refried beans, guacamole, pico de gallo and choice of corn or flour tortillas! The steak was my favorite -- so juicy, tender and flavorful! They have a great variety of drinks! I got the watermelon basil margarita. They also have Jarritos soda which, my girl friend tried the guava and it was good! You have to get here before peak or you may not get a parking spot. They do have parking at the back but I bet if it's a peak night, it'll be crowded. We will definitely be back next time!

I admit I often go back and forth between the two, but what stands out about this one is the friendly service and the salsa bar. Personally I could live on chips and a good salsa bar alone, but the food I get is always pretty good as well. It seems like salsa bars are mostly a thing of the past these days so do check this out while you can. Plenty of parking out front, but they are closed Mondays. We often come for lunch and the service is pretty fast. They understand our need to order, eat, pay and be back at the office before too much time has passed. They are always willing to accommodate special requests and often have food specials and a regular lunch menu. I've brought a handful of people here and everyone has been happy with their meals. I usually opt for a veggie burrito or fajitas. I'm sure I'll be back again sometime soon.

Sister got albondigas (meatball soup), broth had a nice roasted corn base. I ordered their menudo which came with tender (clean tasting) intestines, and one pata (foot).

The parking lot is tiny and hard to get a spot so you might have to park elsewhere and walk over. The birria tacos are STUFFED with cheese and meat. The side of cilantro, pickled onions, and sauces are what make this place a solid 5/5. The consome costs extra but it was only a few dollars.

Se tardaron bastante en traer los platos y, para colmo, la comida llegó fría. Además, el restaurante estaba tan frío que literalmente salí con las manos moradas, y en ningún momento el personal se acercó a preguntar si necesitábamos algo más o a rellenar nuestros vasos de agua. En resumen, el servicio fue muy malo y la atención desigual, ya que otras mesas fueron atendidas mucho más rápido. En mi caso, la comida tardó alrededor de 20 minutos más que la de otros clientes. Así que, en general, no fue una buena experiencia y no lo recomendaría.
