"El Parian is absolutely the best fast-casual Mexican I’ve had in the state. This hidden gem was recommended to me by a few Mexican-American friends. It’s a popular gathering space for the local Mexican-American community and although the menu includes many items that are catered to the American taste, they still have more authentic offerings. The food is well seasoned, fresh, and delicious. The service is friendly and prompt. El Parian is definitely worth the trip across the river for the city-dwellers!"
