El Parian Mexican Bar & Grill in Commerce

Good food and great service!

Outstanding food, fast service, great beer selection! Oh, and half the price of Theresa's in a festive but relaxed atmosphere.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Order took over 2 hours for delivery and no one would answer the phone. When my order arrived it was wrong, extremely cold and some portions undercooked. The tortillas on the soft tacos were gummy and wet.

Definitely the best Mexican in the Twin Cities! From their many different house dips ranging in spice from mild to flaming, their outstanding cheese dip, and the variety and uniqueness in menu selections - particularly the Molcajete (fajitas on steroids). We keep coming back again and again.

Outdoor/indoor seating and full menu available. Happy hour 3-5 m-f. Great service. Large portions. Several choices on kids menu.

They have a delicious food. ❤💋🤠

Ordered delivery, so terrible. Completely flavorless, the salsa tastes like ketchup. We’ll definitely refrain from reordering from here

We love their food no matter what we order! The tilapia tacos are the best and love the complimentary chips and salsa!

CANNED REFRIED BEANS 👎🏽

Great food and great service from Host Jimmy. Love this restaurant!!!

Omg I absolutely love this place, and there on door dash❤️ Must eat!!!!

I don't know if you guys got a new chef.. BUT the food we got today was one of the best dinners my family of 6 have ever had.... from cheeseburger to Texas fajitas Pollo a la lancha... steak Ranchero...I mean we are Mexican and We loved the food..... hope it stays this way for ever😊😋😋😋

Love campechana Cocktail, shrimp, octopus, oysters sooo good!!!

Between food and drinks we found 4 hairs. I looked past the first one because things happen, and it was small. But when I found one more and my friend found two, I approached the manager with 2 of them. They tried to accuse us of putting them there. I sent 3/4 of our food and drinks back due to the hairs and they gave me a whopping $10 off an $80 tab.

Amazing food, excellent customer service, great atmosphere. Could be happier!!

Food was good. Lots of delicious looking seafood of various styles. I had taco Parian which were very good.

Love this place always amazing service and amazing food!!!

Delicious drinks, tasty food and awesome service!

My daughter was here today with a friend, they asked to sit inside but were seated outside. Service was poor, margarita drink was terrible..we will not return. I do not like Theresas but I would go there instead.

Great service and wide variety of menu options! Food was good, waiters were attentive but not hovering. It would have been five stars but one or maybe more of the waiters had very strong, heavy cologne on, which my friends and I noticed right away. It was over the top strong and two of us couldn't finish our food as we were starting to feel a bit sick from the cologne smell. That smell definitively interfered with our evening out.

Cold beer & great service, friendly staff and great food!!!

We placed a on-line order at 4 with a pick up time of 6. Witch should be well more then enough time to make our order even on a bissy night. We waited 6 hours and finally got a message saying our food was going to be late. Well 9:45 comes around still no food. Will never recommend or order from them again.

Ordered online, did not get my full order, it was cold and when I called to resolve the issue they refused to refund. I was told they could make the missing food and I’d have to drive another 30 minutes to pick up. SMH

Mexican food at its best! Every plate and chipboard as amazing!

The service is UNPARALLELED and the food fabulous. Such a great experience!

Our first time here and as always we're not disappointed on eating Mexican food. I can't tell it's authentic but I know the food is good!!! We'll come back again! Staff are good too and friendly.....

The food has been pretty good. The service not so much... Today it felt like they'd have rather we didn't come in.

Amazing food with unique dishes, staff were helpful, decent, hospitable and friendly, and a great wine list too! We enjoyed every single moment at this place.

I tried El Parian the first time yesterday and had to write a review right away... It's fantastic! Clean restaurant, bright dining space, helpful and responsive staff, delicious food, and good value! Both of us diners asked for a substitution in the meat, and they did it no problem. The food came super quick, and was piping hot and super fresh! I'm looking forward to going back in the near future!Tip: There seem to be a lot of deals on Tuesdays - tacos and margaritas!

This place has some seriously solid mexican food. It tastes great and is at a decent price. They have a good patio. Definitely try them out!

This place is awesome as well as the people that work here! Highly recommend

Lunch prices are great. Friendly service. Skip the Flan desert.

I have eaten in and had it delivered an every occurence has been fantastic! I have tried the chimichangas, tacos, quesadillas, and more and everything has been cooked hot, delicious, and portioned super well. For the price you pay you get plenty of food and dont be surprised if you have left overs! Will be eating here again for sure.

It was okay. Seafood fajita didn't taste fresh. Too fishy.

My wife and I have been frequenting El Parian since moving to the community several years ago. Our favorite dishes are the burrito roqueta, the enchiladas, the tacos al pastor, and the chimichangas. The food and the service have been, without exception, excellent. I figured it was time to write a deserved review for the staff at El Parian for all the enjoyment they have shared with us. Thank you and keep up the good work!

Well, they must've been having a rough day. Their machines for frozen drinks were broken, and the cooler for taps wasn't working either so it was bottled beer or strawberry margaritas in an old school blender. I ordered chicken fajitas (with a hair in it) and was kindly granted $5 off my meal. Nice staff but we won't be return.

Fast service. Good food

Came here on Valentine's day. It was very busy but our food came fast and hot. We had a party of 6 and everyone was happy with the food quality and service. Would definitely recommend giving this place a try if you like Mexican food. Only gave 4 stars because they could have been better staffed for the busy Valentine's day rush. We did have a long wait for our table to be cleaned and the tabs.

Great Service. I really like the flavor of the food and very reasonably priced with nice portion sizes. I higly recommend this restaurant. We have driven by this place several times so we decided to stop in for lunch one day and I am glad we did. This now our favorite mexican restaurant.

They delivered and it was absolutely delicious! The best shrimp quesadilla I’ve ever had. Will definitely order again. 😺

Great food. Always fresh and the people are really nice.

Good food excellent friendly service.

The service was amazing, the food was alright. The atmosphere is amazing! Looking from the outside I wasn't expecting it to be as nice as it is. There were a few notable issues though. They got my order wrong, the tamale I ordered was undercooked and the chile relleno was mediocre at best. The only good food was the salsa. The service kinda made up for the "eh" food, however I will not be returning since there are much better Mexican restaurants in the area.

Delicious food, great drinks, fantastic staff, and reasonable prices. Traditional Mexican.food.

The food was good and we didn't have to wait long for it.

I ordered La Lancha, my husband the Quesadilla. We both got the Tres Leches cake. Absolutely amazing! The shrimp in the La Lancha was perfectly cooked and gigantic. Real pieces of chicken (not the gummy from frozen kind you can come across). The cheese sauce not overpowering or too rich. The rice was not too bland and had a good flavor. My husbands quesadilla was good, but he was very jealous of mine. The Tres Leche cake was fantastic. While everything was a little pricier than a few other Mexican cuisine restaurants I’ve been to, I would definitely order again (and I’d definitely prefer to go here over the rest!)

Good food at reasonable prices. The margaritas were smooth, and the chimichanga dinner was something I would order again.

I eat in this great restaurant quite often! This is the best place to have a bite. I visit this place at least once a month. The meals are very good, the workers are courteous and the rates are reasonable. I enjoy being in this place for a rich dinner.

Really good authentic Mexican Food for Minnesota. Being from AZ we were very impressed, my husband had the Chile relleno two days in a row and I had the Lunch special #2 with green sauce instead of red and beans instead of rice. Just what we needed to get us through the rest of the day.

[SEE BELOW FOR UPDATE] We love checking out new restaurants and from the time we walked to the time we left, the staff was quick, friendly, and the food was amazing![UPDATE] Watch your bank account! Not sure what the intention was but when I paid for my meal with my card, I wrote the dollar amount on my copy of the receipt with a more than generous tip. A couple days later, I found out when it cleared my bank that they rounded up my total so they got an even dollar amount tip, rather than what I wrote and signed for. Pretty sure that is ILLEGAL and I will not be returning. BE ADVISED!
