El Parian Mexican Restaurant

Walked in and were seated. No Menus. We get Chips and Salsa. Worst Salsa I've ever had. It was watered down tomato sauce with Cilantro. No flavor. Nasty. Girl come to take our drink order. I asked if they had Strawberry Daiquiri. She looked confused and said, "on the rocks or frozen". I answered, Frozen. Still no Menus. This was our first time here. We were passing through Arkadelphia. A boy brings out our drinks. We ask him for a menu (we'd been there 15 minutes now). He brought us menus and I tell him I didn't order a Strawberry Margarita on the Rocks, I ordered a Strawberry Daiquiri. He takes it back. Girl comes and takes our order. It's hard to hear, due to a very large group of 20 guys sitting behind us. Boy brings out a frozen Strawberry Margarita. I tell him again, it's not what I ordered. He said, "I did the best I could. What else am I supposed to do?" I said, "I asked for a Strawberry Daiquiri, Not A Margarita." He says, "what's that? We don't have that. We have Margaritas." I tell him that I can't have Tequila (allergic). He then tells me very rudely, "Good, even better for me", then grabs the drink and walks off. I catch the girl and ask her for a Lemonade. She says they don't have any. I ordered a water. I got it 10 minutes later, after asking her again for it. Then, I am served the order I ordered, but instead of Cheese Enchiladas, I got Beef Enchiladas with Cheese Sauce. She takes it back. No other meals for the other 3 in our group we're brought out. We wait another 35 minutes. Then the 3 get there food, but I'm still waiting on mine. It comes out, 10 minutes later. I won't be back. On the plus side, the girl only charged us $30 for our tab, and admitted it was her mess up for my order being wrong.

Nice atmosphere, friendly waitstaff, and super affordable! The food was delicious! Me and my mom both ate for under $20 and the portions were big enough that we had leftovers. The decor is bright and fun, I was captivated by a painting hanging near the kitchen. I just moved in the area and I just know this is going to be a spot I will come to time and time again!

Food was really good! Prices were really affordable for these times! We liked everything, their molcajetes are delicious and really big for the price!

The restaurant was very clean and service was prompt the salsa was some of the best I ever had with generous portion and I had the lunch menu fajita nacho wonderful
