El Parian

I gave them a try and will not return. Their rice is dry, service is slow, and staff can't get the order correct. After clarifying that I did not want sour cream 4 different times, I still ended up with a massive amount on my food. The refried beans were a little odd tasting. Chips and salsa were pretty good. Didn't even bother finishing the relleno that came with the combo meal. Flavor was great on everything but it did not seem fresh. Prices are good, but I assume that's a reflection of food quality and service. The restaurant is clean inside, but the parking lot is poorly lit and not marked well, making it a guessing game.

This was our first time trying this place, and it will be the only visit. I ordered “grilled chicken quesadillas” and the chile pablano (relleno), thinking both seemed a safe first time order. The quesadilla, nor the chicken inside, was anywhere near grilled. In fact, the tiny chicken bits seemed boiled and were flavorless. There was barely any cheese inside either, so it fell apart upon attempting to cut into it. The tortilla was rubbery and it, as well as the rest of our order, seemed to have been microwaved. My husband had stopped in to order on his way home from work and was told our order would take 5 minutes. The pablano was overcooked and the batter was very thick and chewy. The guacamole was flavorless and very light in color, as well as airy, leading us to believe it had been mixe

Great margaritas and hot chips, it was a Saturday at 2pm and the service was exceptional. The meals are priced great and the portion is enough to feed an army. We had combination fajitas that could us a little more seasoning but was cooked to perfection. The ranchero shrimp was amazing and the shrimp was tender and cooked perfect. The only complaint was the carne asada was over cooked and tough but the chorizo on top was a nice flavor enhancer. We had the Margarita shots that were a pleasant paring with the assorted entrees. Over all, this is a welcome addition to the dinning establishments for the Texarkana area.

I had a little time to kill so I stopped in about 11 am at this little restaurant. There were only 3 vehicles out front so I went in and was greeted immediately and asked if I preferred a table or booth. They took my drink order right away and gave me just enough time to look over the menu and choose. Then the food came out and was hot and fresh and in a timely manner. I was checked on multiple times and asked if I needed anything else. Then I ordered the quesadilla reelino and it was so flavorful and good! For my club soda and food that filled me up 10.00. That is what I call affordable! The atmosphere was so calm and I will definitely be back!

We have been twice and the experience was wonderful both times. Great service, great food, great atmosphere and most importantly, great price! Very friendly and courteous servers. When the one server could not understand what we were saying he was very quick to find someone to assist him. We will definitely be back!
