El Pariente Mexican Grill

Always a great place for an authentic meal! Super friendly staff and clean restaurant. Ordered a margarita, one birria taco and the Wednesday special. Usually the standard rice and beans at most places are blah, but not here! Such good flavor and nice moist rice. All delish and highly recommend a trip here!

Ordered an Horchata really quick while picking up an UberEats order as I've eaten here before and enjoyed the food and drinks. I didn't ask for a receipt since I was just ordering one drink but once it processed through my account, I was charged $8.34 and I immediately disputed it for the right amount, which is $4.09 even on the website and I know the $8.34 was not what the male cashier said when I tapped my card (I know I did not tip at all). Really disappointed since I liked going there and I live close but lesson learned I guess. I got the money back which is nice but warning, watch your receipts even in a rush.

In my opinion this is a $$ eatery, not $.For the money spent, I expect more food. Everything is a la carte. When dining in, the serve on styrofoam with plastic utensils - same as the carry out.That said, the food is better than average quality. Decor is typical and the service is good.Value: 2Taste/quality: 4Service: 3+

Cozy environment. Outside seating Large margarita? Not sure I did not order the margarita but wondered about that VIP margarita. It looks awesome. Menu is big. Lots of choices. For me, the winner is always a good cheese and chips. The cheese dip was good, thin but really good.

Honestly, this place exceeded my expectations. Everything was amazing and the staff were so fast and friendly. There was a lot of seating and the music was good. The prices were average. If I had to recommend one thing, it would be al the pastor tacos.

The food was good, but the senorita taking our order didn't seem to understand English to well. We had ordered nachos with our order but she didn't understand and we never got them...glad the food was good

Ohhhhhh my Goodnessssss..... the most authentic and amazing food. Their corn quesadilla. Carnitas is amazing freshly made corn quesadilla cheese, melted in to perfection, radishes vegetables, and a fine, seasoned Carnitas or whatever meat you were looking for Cabeza available and more. Roasted jalapeños are so good they make their own green and red sauces and a Sunday buffet you don't have enough room for their huge selection ,my favorite Mexican food in Minnesota.

Giving this place my toughest review as I had to wait more than 30 minutes for two tiny tacos that should've taken less than 10 minutes to cook. Not sure what the hold up was but I saw a few other guests waiting quite a while for their food. Prices were pretty normal for a Mexican restaurant, and once I did get my food I thought it was a pretty forgettable taco - nothing special and just a pretty typical flavor that did not make the wait worth at all. I'm sure this place has better days / experiences for other customers but because of my personal experience I don't think I'd come back again.

i've gone here several times before and i'm never disappointed. the staff is always friendly! they have a station for you to put your own trash and dishes away, but they always help out with clearing your table. the food is always amazing, and the music and atmosphere in general is great too. my usual is the street taco combo with asada and i always leave satisfied!!

Disappointed - we ordered food along with a paloma and a margarita. The paloma tasted like dishwater and they charged us for a Patron margarita without asking. Be warned, the drinks are roughly $14.00 with tax, and should be excellent for the price. They also got our order wrong. To top it off the staff argued with us saying we never ordered a margarita before charging us $14 for the one with Patron!Sadly, while we were fairly regular customers we had our last visit today.
