El Parian Steaks & Tequila - Lancaster

We come here almost every weekend. It's the best place in town for a good steak or traditional Mexican food. :)

We have been here numerous times and we usually get Fajita Del Mar which comes with tilapia, shrimp and scallops. Usually it is fantastic but tonight it was bland and there were NO scallops and we paid $24 for this. Our waitress was not very friendly I had to remind her to get my husband’s margarita, which was $15 for a small. Not one person asked us how our meal was. Not sure what’s going on there but it’s not the same quality that it usually is.

The negatives
- The cock roach that crawled across the table. I smashed it with a napkin and showed our waitress who didn't seem to care that much and just said sorry and took the napkin. They didnt take anything off the bill. We would have left immediately but we already ordered, were in a hurry, and didn't have time to go somewhere else. Wish I would have taken a picture of the cockroach before giving it to the waitress.
-I got the seafood burrito. Filled with shrimp and crabmeat. The shrimp was fine but the crab was imitation crab.. very disappointing and did not taste good. Don't offer crab if you aren't going to use real crab or specify that it's not creal crab meat. The food overall was just average to below average.

On the positive side the waitress was very attentive and kept the drinks and chips and salsa coming.

Overall it was a very disappointing experience and I will not be returning.

Very pleased with our meal. Food quality was very good as was the atmosphere. Chips were very warm and the salsa was excellent. IMHO best Mexican restaurant in Lancaster. Our server was very attentive and friendly, will definitely return.

Have had the Taco Salad, Grande Burrito, Keka Birra tacos, Spinach chicken mini chimis and the Pollo loco. All were really good and nice sized portions. Service has also been good.

sat and waited for 15 minutes to get water and a Margarita, had to wave down the waitress every time we needed anything. never checked back, just plain awful service. It has gone downhill from the initial opening. So disappointing because the food really is good. I asked to see a manager and they avoided our table the rest of the service and no manager was ever available to see us. Terrible service, think twice before going.

Food was amazing. 3 Steak dinners and 3 house margaritas, under a hundred bucks.

My wife and I were shopping and decided to stop at this new location in Lancaster. We have been to the location in another city.
This location is very easy to find, parking lot is across from the building and inside there is plenty of room. It's very clean, service is quick and efficient. The food is prepared quickly and is very good.
My wife and I both agreed the food was better at this location more so than the other we have visited.

We were at this location on Friday night, August 15, at 5p. We were seated promptly as it was not that busy. After that, the whole experience went down hill. We sat at our table for approximately 10 minutes before being acknowledged, even though many of the wait staff passed by and just looked at us. I had to ask a wait staff who our waitress was as we would like to order. This individual has to go find out as she didn't know. After a few minutes, a waitress finally appeared wanting to take our drink order. We mentioned that we were ready to order at which time she took the order. Another few minutes pass by and our food order is delivered. However, we never saw the waitress who took our order come around asking if everything was ok or if we needed anything. When we were ready to leave, we waited to see if the waitress would stop by with the check. Needless to say, that didn't happen and once again we had to ask for our check, which to another few minutes. One individual in our party had to go to the front desk and ask once again who the waitress was. It was then the original waitress finally stopped by and we mentioned that we wanted our check. At that time, it was asked what we ordered as we were a party of three with two separate checks. This information should be known. Our visit to this location is the last, we will not be back. In closing, and just from observation, it appeared there was a confused wait staff not knowing which way to turn.
