We eat here every Fri. night. We usually eat on the patio outside because karaoke starts at 6pm. Service is great, food is great. Carne asada fries and a nice glass of Bogle wine.

I have been to this location 3/4 times. Every time I go back it gets better and better! People from all lifestyles and tax brackets visit this location. The quality and quantity of the food is fantastic. It’s actually the best place I’ve ever had Carne Asada. That’s says a lot about the taste of the foods here. They also have quite a LARGE menu with a great salsa bar. My personal favorite is the Asada fries with everything on top! It can feed three people and they would be stuffed. The best part about this place? The staff! They have the most wonderful hospitality and go the second and third mile for their customers. Once you walk in, you’re all comrades and family here. Everyone enjoys a great meal with good people.

We love this place and come here regularly for tacos and burritos! We even catered my birthday party recently with their food. We ordered a tray of half steak and half chicken, rice and beans (their beans are incredible), cilantro and onion, two salsas, and corn and flour tortillas. It was SO MUCH FOOD! We are still eating it two days later and it’s still delusions. We ordered catering for 15 but I swear it was enough to feed 30. Highly recommend!

Well, it's Sunday May 25, 2025 (FYI, that's 05 25 2025 which is cool if you like numbers as I do). And I arrived at about 5 minutes after 5 pm (so numerically I'm just geeking out, but enough about all that). I had just dropped off some e-waste at the NARS (thank you Sacramento, for making that recycling both free and convenient on a Sunday), and I hungered. Google identified this place when I sought "tacos near me" as I left NARS. I arrived and parked. Enough parking for the attendance, but it wasn't crowded. I stood for several minutes scanning the menu, and then ordered what I almost always default to--two steak tacos, and some nachos. Let's unpack that. Now, I often end up at another well known place, that I'll just call "JaneGirls." At "JaneGirls" that order is easily consumed quickly because it's not really a lot of food there. Not so at El Parion, my dear reader-eater. The tacos. I specified crispy which was 1.50 more than "regular," which interestingly brought the price to exactly what I pay for a steak taco at "JaneGirls." Here is the El Parion approach: Take two crispy corn tortilla shells, and apparently challenge two workers in the back to see which of them can stuff the most grilled beef slices into the shells until nothing else fits inside, then hide the packed shells under lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole, and ground parm cheese--and .... serve. The shells were both crispy and crunchy. (I couldn't tell whether they were fried versus baked, but I have a strong policy of not asking caloric questions when I'm enjoying myself and the answer isn't going to change my conduct.). Delicious. The nachos. Well, just as I was wrapping up the tacos, the super nachos arrived. Chips, meat, cheese, pickled jalapenos, pico, sour cream (hold the beans please). I had requested grilled chicken as the meat. Now, I only have one misgiving, and that is my fault. I'm ok-ish with chicken breast but definitely don't love it, so I really should have asked if I could get grilled dark meat instead. But I still loved the nachos. But alas, my love could only last a short while, in that after three bites I was stuffed. That is not what happens at "JaneGirls." Different quantities of food altogether. So, with a full tummy I carried the nearly full plate of nachos to the front. With a knowing smile (this clearly isn't the first time eyes exceeded stomach at this establishment) the nice gentleman asked, "To go?" And I smiled and nodded profusely. He put it in a to go container and I drove home contemplating how the nachos will become the base for some breakfast dish involving a very hot nonstick skillet and incorporating scrambled eggs and spicy salsa. I'll be back. I don't care that it's more than 15 miles from home.

One of my go to's for lunch and the go to spot for taco Tuesday. This place has it all, indoor/ outdoor seating, quick service, large portion sizes and most importantly delicious food that never disappoints. No matter what l've tried on their menu, plate always end ups cleaned as if it never had anything on the plate in the first place. Definitely give it a try if you're looking for great Mexican food.

The service is fast. Awesome customer service. The foood! I see why everyone raves about it. Folks I had a ceviche tostada -fish. Fresh, and can't express. How delicious it was! It's become my goto now. Coming from the Bay area. When I come to Sac. They have a fresh Chips and Salsa Bar, too. This place was highly recommendation to try. I would've taken pics of the food. My eyes and my taste buds were in awe. 😍

Exquisite, Mexican restaurant! The chips and salsa were like none other! I had the super quesadilla, and it was definitely super! My friend had the enchiladas and the plate was gigantic. You could barely eat it all we walked away extremely happy.

My two favorite things to order are the super nachos and the enchiladas with red sauce. I order enchiladas at every Mexican restaurant to fairly compare, and this place is currently at the top of the leaderboard. 😁 The horchata is delicious too, I've never had a bad plate of food!
