El Parian Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    Contrary to another reviewer, we always had good experiences at El Patio- the food was fresh, and spiced right. Our first trip to El Parian was a bummer. The overly enthusiastic wait staff doesn't make up for the mediocre food. I can make better myself at home with some spices from Penzey's. On top of it all, I ended up with Montezuma's revenge an hour after getting home. We don't get what all the hype is about. I suspect the lemming effect. Doubt we will go back anytime soon.

    Decent Mexican food but not great. Akin to El Loro in quality but not nearly as good as Teresa's. Nice decor and no wait at this new location. Service and kitchen were exceptionally slow. Appears they are in the learning phase. Menu is low end Mexican, tacos, burritos, enchiladas, fajitas, etc. Absolutely no difference between an enchilada and a burrito, except the burrito is slightly longer. Slathered in cheese and red sauce, the presentation was a gooie mess when finally delivered after half an hour.

    Excellent service and the food was good. They gave us several types of salsa, so just ask. They weren't your ordinary mild-medium-hot. They were all very different and good.. They customized anything for us. Will be back soon

    Nothing fresh, all prepacked food service grade ingredients. Lame salsa, hamburger for beef, and just bland. Very clean and very good service. I have a feeling they could make great Mexican food if Lakeville would support non Americanized Mexican cuisine.

    I hate my parents. What? That requires more explanation? Ok fine. So my parents lived in Eagan and like the day I went off to college El Loro opened up a block from their house which was the first decent restaurant Eagan had ever had. This is back in the day when El Loro was good. I had like 5+ birthdays in a row there as that was the only time of year I cam back to the land beyond the wall. Then Aldo split off and formed his own restaurant- El Parian. At this point the quality of El Loro began its tail spin and El Parian began its rise to empire status. So jump to last summer and my parents moved to Lakeville. Within like 3 weeks of them moving Aldo decides to open a new El Parian literally on the same street they live on about 200 feet from their house. Are you beginning to understand the hate? Good. El Parian is a great tex mex style restaurant, so when you go you should get -Cheese dip- this is the famed white queso dip that is great for dipping chips, pouring on burritos or your naked body, but its best when you eat with plain flour tortillas. -Texas Margaritas-like a regular Margarita only more manly and Texasy which are really the same thing -Fajitas-get mixed- the one that comes with beef, chicken, shrip, and fried pork (which shouldbe rather obvious I think) They have a lot of other good items on the menu,but with this list you literally cannot fail. The service is always great and very fast- drinks and chip baskets are refilled instantly, the food comes out like 5 minutes after you order, everyone is very nice and friendly.

    Awesome free chips and salsa. Two kinds of salsa I might add! Food is served hot and fresh. I had the enchilada verde and it was great. We've been to the Eagan location and loved it. this one is huge and has very nice decor and food is just as delicious.

    I was excited to try a new Mexican restaurant in Lakeville but was sadly disappointed by my dining experience. Service was mediocre- not very friendly, or helpful. The food started with bland salsa that tasted like canned tomatoes only, with torilla chips that were fried in nasty oil so tasted very bad. The main course was a lunch special for me (one beef enchilada and one beef burrito.) Both were literally hamburger that tasted fine but was very bland- didn't tasted like Mexican at all. No cheese that I could find- and they were topped with what tasted exactly like Campbell's tomato soup. No other toppings. A side of okay rice. My husband ordered enchiladas and they were chicken. As far as I could tell we just got what we got on the meats- there were no options for changes. My husbands chicken tasted fine but was very bland. It at least had lettuce, sour cream, and tomatoes on the top so it had a little flavor. We will not be returning. No Mexican seasonings, no salsa seasonings, no cilantro, no melted cheese on top, no decent tasting salsa or tortillas to go with. The Coke was the highlight of our lunch.

    We were here in the past when it was El Patio and terrible. Now, it's great! The chicken chimichangas are fantastic and the portions enormous. We've been here twice and loved it both times. Limited beer menu and typical chain Mexican margaritas with too much mix and not enough tequila, but a definite upgrade. Service is quick and efficient. Keep up the good work!

    Excellent food! Definitely not the old Mexican restaurant that was there before. Friendly staff and quick service. Will be back again.

    The poppers had an odd breading and came with honey mustard. Who serves honey mustard with jalapeños?? The mojito is terrific and the burrito I had was very tasty. Service is s bit slow, but the food and drink more than made up for it. I'll be back.

    Decent Mexican food for a state that generally has really bad Mexican food (bad food in general to be honest)

    First time we have ever been here. Stopped in because the place looked clean and modern. What an excellent choice. Authentic food, great service. We showed up just before six and fifteen minutes later the place is packed. Obliviously the locals know about this place.

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
