    Yup. Just go here. Don't over think it! The food felt more authentic than most Mexican restaurants. I had the quesadilla and couldn't be happier! I'll be back for more soon!

    Chicken and steak torta

    Found myself here by accident, a near by restaurant had an extremely long wait, so decided to test out the waters here as they did not seem crowded. This place you order your food then find a seat. I had the torta and it was great. This is a small place, but the service is fast. Nice booths to sit at. Chips and salsa accompanied. The bread was soft and had great flavor. The steak and chicken were cooked well. They had a delightful tomatillo hot sauce that was a perfect pairing. Found by accident, but will be back!

    The closest Mexican food I've found that reminds me of food from Los Angeles. The asada nachos are fire !

    Food was bland and pricey for the portions. The service was ok. I would not recommend this at all.

So we started looking around and my wife found this place. So we traveled to Lancaster Ohio on a rainy Wednesday night. We walked in and was surprised by the ambience. It was quirky, but charming. The staff was attentive and intentional. The chips tasted like they just came out of the fryer. The queso dip was great. We ordered our entrées with a half hearted Hope of expectations of days long gone. When the entrées arrived, we just could not be more impressed with the presentation. And then the food and we all sampled each other's. The taco meat inside the burrito was flavorful like it had been cooked on purpose. The monstrosity of a fajita that I got the chicken was kind of like a Hispanic version of chicken Parmesan. The steak, well prepared and the shrimp was incredibly plump and juicy. All the mixtures gathered at the bottom of the basin bowl just waiting to be dipped like a fountain of youth, the basin of expectation and it was to my utter taste buds delight.

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

    I've had nothing but consistently good food here. They even have take out and delivery (through…read moredoordash). The food is one of the best mexican out there. It's not a big place and kind of hidden. it's worth finding it. There are other mexican restaurants with bigger venues or more entertaining servers. This is a place you just go for authentic food. It is a chain, so you might pay a little more than some places, but it's well worth it. I still don't know how to pronounce it. But hey, pass the hot sauce, let's go!

    SEVEN WORDS: TRADITIONAL HOMESTYLE TEX-MEX / MEDIUM QUALITY / PHENOMENAL ATMOSPHERE…read more . It is Somewhat Hard to Give this Restaurant 3-Stars, but the Food Quality was Somewhat Inconsistent. I ordered the Carne Asada and my Wife Ordered the Shrimp Fajitas + and Extra Side of Spanish Rice. . We will start with her dish. She really liked the Shtimp Fajitas, and both Shrimp and Veggies were Fresh. The Spanish Rice was just a bonus to feed her Endless Appetite for Rice of Any Kind. Still, she puts the dish at a 4. I attribute that to her unfamiliarness with Tex-Mex...or even Mexicali food, other than more Modern Mexican-American tastes. . On the Other Hand, My Carne Asada was not just lackluster, but lacking Quality when it comes to the Beef. It featured approximately 4 ounces of Strip Steak - a decent serving of refried beans with the smallest drizzle of sour cream. . On great note, however, were the Avocados. The Slices were thick and xomplete; the fruit tasted as if it was straight off the tree. This, unfortunately, was where the quality ended. Im not saying bad by any stretch of the imagination - but I would stop at Del ataco...and most certainly Chipotle or any other good M3xican restaurant between Whitehall and apataskala before stopping here again. . Very Average Food, even at $37!39 for two Entrees, some shrimp protein, and two soft drinks. . This place; however, has so much potential -- maybe Im being overly judgmentao...but I doubt it.
