El Parian

We stopped at this place after seeing the total eclipse of 2024. We were sort of dreading going to a Mexican restaurant as we have FOUR Mexican restaurants in our hometown, but I am so glad we stopped here. The food was delicious. I noted that I couldn't eat a full portion of fajitas and we couldn't take it home as we were travelling and they allowed me to get a lunch portion. I'm not sure if they charged me dinner prices, but I was glad they gave me a smaller portion. Everything we tasted was better than any Mexican restaurant I've had, especially the chorizo! I'm leaving this review because I definitely plan on coming back when I travel through Arkansas, even if it adds 3 hours to my trip, lol. Give it a try!

Close to the Intereate, clean, food and service were good. They filled out water containers for us before we left. For our journey ahead. Recommended

First time here. Food was good. I had huevos rancheros. They give you chips and salsa while waiting for your order. The lunch menu prices are extremely reasonable. I will be going back to sample something else on their menu. You can actually eat here for less than you would spend at your local fast food restaurant. Prices are fantastic!! Go see for yourself. This is the one in Atkins

Super good place to eat . Nice staff, good prices,grateful food.

My family loves El Parian. The food is always good and the service is always friendly and excellent. It's an inexpensive place to eat and we are able to get something for everyone. Even my little picky eaters. The cheese dip is one of my favorite places to get cheese dip from. I've never tried the dessert because I'm always too full but I'm sure it tastes just as great as everything else we have tried on the menu.

Loved it! Stopped in for a quick lunch while driving cross country. AMAZING cheese sauce and salsa with chips! Loved the steak fajita quesadilla! Service was faster than fast food and a million times tastier.

Eating here now and the food is great and quick great service! Bookmarked this place so I can come back during my travels through the area.

Great food! Quick - loved it!

Nice staff, even when busy. Great food with a wide selection. For myself, the burrito could have been Fuller, seen a few go past my table that where big as a baseball bat. Good luck.

It's a great place to bring the kids and the staff are very personable. I usually try to go during their slower times because of you go when they're busy, it's a bit chaotic for me. I went when they were busy, and it was 30 min wait time to order, and the restaurant was packed and loud, but only 2 wait staff...they were doing their best I'm sure so we waited patiently to order and eat.

Very happy time. Many good food for half the price.

Excellent place hostess are very very friendly makes you feel comfortable and welcoming
Food two thumbs up. A place to go to.

Excellent food. Outstanding service. Friendly staff. Very clean and well maintained. The food was fresh and served hot. This is a TexMex style restaurant and they a great variety of plates to choose from. Very flavorful. You will enjoy your meal regardless of what you pick to eat.

Great food in a small hidden town off 49.

This is a favorite place of mine to eat and enjoy myself. Burritos are excellent.

I have heard good reviews of El Parian and took my daughter there. The foods were very good and I could tell that they were not pre-made. I was pleasantly pleased with our meals.

Great food, fair price, friendly staff.

We enjoy the good food and service here.Very friendly staff.

This is the closest I've found to authentic Mexican food here in Arkansas! Love the rice and beans! Perfect texture, very mild flavor. The hot salsa is pretty hot, blend with the mild for a medium flavor! Our server Gabriel was friendly, attentative and fantastic! We enjoyed the food and had a great dining experience. We will stop by here again whenever we travel to see our family in Little Rock.

I have loved this place since they opened over 10 years ago. Great food, service, and atmosphere.
