A definite 5 out of 5! We are traveling from Dallas to Little Rock. We stopped here based on the good reviews we read. The food was the best Mexican food we have ever had. The server was quick to bring us our drinks, then chips and salsa. Chips and salsa were delicious. I ordered vege quesadillas and my husband had fajita beef/chicken taco salad. Both were so GOOD! The restaurant was exceptionally clean and the staff could not have been more kind. Don’t miss this restaurant! We enthusiastically recommend it!

Service was great! Sweet people. Had the chips and salsa on the table before we all had our places in the seats. The meal, too, came out so fast!
But let me tell you about the ghost toilet.
The ladies restroom is a liminal space if you are alone. The lights were flickering, the sounds drown out the noise of the restaurant, and i thought i was alone. Never even heard the other lady come in. So I flush the toilet, and as it groans and squeals, I swear I hear it slowly whisper squeal out my name. Lights still flickering on the pale pink tiled walls. I open the stall door and there is a whole other lady right there about to open my door. I almost screamed right in her face. I can still hear my name being called toward the abyss. Was it just me? Was that a ghost toilet? What did it want?
My mom and nieces went in after I told them about this. The moment could not be repeated.
I only ilhad one margarita, and it was very weak. My mom agreed that there was no liquor. The server, too, agreed that the drinks were weeaaak!
10/10 memorable experience. Would definitely go back if I pass through again. But next time I will complain if I can't taste the tequila.

We were passing through and choose this El Parian strictly on reviews. We were not disappointed! Delicious food and a clean restaurant. Just wish it was closer to our home so that we could visit often. Highly recommend

Small but quaint. Several good selections with excellent salsa.

My family and I have stopped here twice while passing through Arkansas. The first time we ate here was in 2020, but we had forgotten what city we had stopped in. So this year in 2025 we actually had to spend time doing some research to figure out what town this restaurant was in that we loved so much from 2020. They have a burrito covered in cheese sauce that might be the best burrito we've ever had. Definitely a worthy place for any traveler to stop at to order their monstruno burrito.

I love that this place is a drive through. They have so many vegetarian options on the menu, we were overwhelmed with what to pick, but everything was delicious. We got a chalupa, burrito and quesadilla combo, and guac and chips and it was so much food! When we went to pick up the server said ‘same time tomorrow’ but I get it, if I lived near by I’d go multiple times a week it was so good.

I've eaten out here almost every night the past two weeks food is delicious services excellent
