    Muy bien. In other words Damm! Yep it was perfect. I mola sauce hit the parlay. Chicken Mola #56 was so tasty I didn't come up for air. It seemed to get better with each bite. It was so good I didn't want to swallow it. The rice was moist with flavor. The only problem is they don't give you enough rice and beans. I could shovel that in my mouth all day. The shrimp Santa Anna was good as well. If you like butter shrimp you will like it. . the decor was on point also. Service was fast and they didn't bug you while eating. The seats are a little low and I can tell people from the area code for the cocktails. Each table was loaded with them. If I'm back in this town I will definitely stop in.

    Half eaten Shrimp fajitas

    The reviews on Yelp are not as great as google reviews for some reason. This was my second time here but I don't really remember the first. Busy place on a Friday night, so we put our name in for a little bit of a wait. While we were waiting tho we were able to sit near the bar in the hallway and order drinks which was very nice. I got a regular margarita on the rocks. Decently strong and a good size! The menu is lengthy and it was hard to decide. I went with the shrimp fajitas. They did forget to bring out the tortillas which was a bit surprising, so I had to ask for them. The shrimp were a good flavor, but about half of them were not deveined. I don't think it's a problem to eat that, it's just kinda of gross to think about so I used the fork to devein most of them. Otherwise everything was pretty tasty! We were here for a birthday and they also brought out a huge sombrero for them to wear and sang happy birthday in Spanish with some fun noisemakers!

    My fiancé & I tried this place for the first time Sunday night. Overall, it was just okay. First, the service was a little slow. Our server was friendly & attentive, but we had to ask for items that usually should have been brought regularly. The food was just okay... the portions were very big, but taste was for the most part so-so. I had the steak fajita, & she had a 3 piece combo. Ambiance was just so-so, too. The white folding chairs kinda seemed to cheapen the look. I understand it was supposed to be better a while ago, but i honestly don't think I'll be back. There's plenty of other Mexican restaurants that are just better than this.

    The building is run down but goegeous

    When our plans were squashed for the day we stopped in here to day drink. Absolutely beautiful building in need of a lot of love. Still you can see how gorgeous it once was. I would recommend a stop just to see the architecture. I got a Jumbo Margarita because, well...why not. Service was fast and attentive. Cozy atmosphere Chips and salsa were the standard fare. The place used to be an old lodge and they still put on theatrical performances in the ballroom.

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while so when I was in town, I thought I would finally give it a go. The outside always looked really cool with it being inside an old stone building. So I walk in and am seated almost immediately at a nice table on the second level patio. Server came quick, and was pleasant. But....after that it went downhill. To begin, the water I had, had something yellow floating in the bottom. Which is always unpleasant and is a start to ruining an appetite. Then the salsa I had was frozen. After pouring half of it into my bowl, the bottom was an ice chunk. Which is another gross out factor. If you're going to serve frozen salsa, at least make sure that it's thawed out. After that, once I got my food, I realized that I never received silverware. This is totally fine, and happens but when I got my fork, one prong was so bent, it wasn't even possible to eat with it without cutting open my lip and angling my face in super weird positions just to get a bite. Add to that, the person sitting near me who appeared to be awkwardly hitting on the college-aged greeter and was burping throughout my meal, and you have yourself a pretty disappointing dinner. Drive the extra fifteen and grab some better food in Lithopolis.

    Best salsa I've ever had! Mild with the perfect amount of cilantro. We went for lunch & were seated & waited on promptly. There was a good lunch crowd, lively atmosphere.

    So yummy! Pollo a la Crema was hot, fresh, and delicious! Service was great too! Ambiance was positive with families and just adults.

    This is one of the sitting areas in the restaurant

    Took over an hour to get our food. Table of 12 people. When we finally were served, most of the items appeared to be just thrown together.

    Not really impressed. I think Los Amigos has better food and service. If I do come back, it will be due to friends wanting to come here.

    One of the best Mexican restaurants I have been to and I have been all over Arizona and the mid…read morewest and hands down the best! 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

    Dined here a week ago at lunch time. El Parian never disappoints for quality food and great value…read more I ordered the Tlaquepaque lunch plate. four mini chimis, two with shredded chicken and two with shredded beef. 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.
