Reviews For El Parian Mexican Restaurant

Charles Wayne Dub, Jr
Jun 25,2025
Cheese dip is nice and a tad spicy, which I think is very good. Salsa is very watery and runny but it is delicious and also has a nice kick to it, so I give it 5-stars also. Margaritas are delicious, service is great, steak and fajitas were good. I took my Steak Mexicano home in a doggy bag and it was still nice and juicy after being reheated the next day. Very good place to eat.

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

There are numerous Mexican restaurants in Arkadelphia, but this one is my favorite! El Ranchito (bland) and Los Agaves aren't terrible, but if you want quality AND taste, you should go to El P.

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.
