Now that I live in the area I am so thankful that a food truck that serves authentic Mexican food is here ! You don't have authentic food in this Shoreview area really. All you have is chipotle and Pancheros Mexican grill which did not pass the test for good food. Here you have a wide selection of meat choices: Beef: ASADA( beef steak), BARBACOA (Beef cooked in guajillo sauce and spices with the house recipe "not spicy"), cabeza (Beef head), LENGUA, (Beef tongue), SUADERO (Beef skirts), and CECINA PORK: PASTOR (Beef skirt), CARNITAS (Deep fried pork) CHORIZO (Mexican sausage) CHICHARRON EN SALSA VERDE (Crackling pork cooked with tomatillo) CHICKEN: POLLO(Grill chicken breast) TINGA (Chicken marinated with chipotle sauce and jalapeños Trust me it's so hard to find a place that makes lengua tacos which are by far my favorite. I love that the order of tacos comes with slices of cucumber because it's something refreshing to munch on at the end or whenever. The tacos had flavor and the portions were pretty good definitely not small tacos. The enchiladas were delicious and had some spicynes to it which my mom would approve of. Service is always always great and you have the option of calling and placing an order, coming to the place and ordering or doing a door dash order. There is a picnic table at the side if you want to eat these as well. I honestly can't wait to come here in the morning and check out their breakfast menu.

The inside is clean and the walls proudly show off Mexican culture, which is cool. Food is ordered on kiosks, which is good if you know what you want, but if you do not, there is no one there to help-- you need to walk over to the kitchen area to ask. Food came out quickly, and there is a salsa bar! Pros: - Good food - Portion sizes are good Cons: - If there is a line, it can fell like lots of pressure to quickly order, which can be tough if it's your first time.

They offer a good variety of Mexican food that includes tacos, burritos, machetes, huaraches, torta, and more. I love their birria burrito and their shrimp volcano. One item I recommend to try is their mega birria which is 1/2 lb of birria meat smothered in shredded cheese, on a 18" corn tortilla with cilantro, onion, served with a cup of consume and side of limes. You can order at the kiosks and pick up your food within less than 10 minutes which makes a quick service. The restaurant has several tables you can sit at and nice music on to enjoy. Each Taco Libre has their own decorations and this is also one of my favorite with part of a wall full of jarritos bottles.

The quesabirria tacos were a standout...SO cheesy, meaty, and packed into stuffed tortillas. They came with a delicious consommé-style dipping sauce that made them even better! Another table favorite was the crunch wraps, which were super filling and packed with fresh ingredients. Highly recommend! I love Mexican food, but what really stood out at Centro was the FLAVOR! Nothing was bland, and everything we tried was seasoned so well. Plus, the prices are great and the portions are huge! Cute atmosphere, fun vibe, big plates, and seriously flavorful food.

I'll preface this with the fact that I'm not a fan of tex-mex, strip mall style joints. That said,…read moreLa Tapatia was a great experience. The atmosphere was trying to be trendy with the neon signs, rustic-chic, exposed duct aesthetic. The server was amazing. Incredibly friendly and helpful with questions that our group had. The food was also way better than I feared it might be. I appreciated the build-your-own option for a lot of the dishes. I got a large salad with grilled shrimp and it was pretty good. The shrimp was flavorful and the salad bright. I used some of the cilantro salsa that came with the chips as dressing and it was great. It happened to be my birthday and they brought out some churros as a treat, which was really nice. The churros, however, were pretty bad. Super dense and chewy. The service definitely added an extra star and that waiter (I didn't get her name) should get some recognition. I would put this in the "group pleasing", "work happy hour" bucket of restaurants. I would never suggest but definitely wouldn't be upset if the group chose here.

The service is great, the food and drinks came out very quick, and of course I can't forget about the free chips and salsa which is always a plus and so good!! There was a lot to choose from the menu. We started with a large corona margarita. For food, we got the Burrito Parian and Enchiladas Guadalajara which were both amazing! I highly recommend the Enchiladas Guadalajara. Overall El Parian was a great experience and I left very satisfied. I do wish they had a little bit better of an ambiance as personally I am not a fan of the LED lighting and it could improve the overall experience aesthetically. Either way, I can't wait to come back again and try more items form menu!
