El Parian
El Parian is a long-established Mexican restaurant on West Pico Boulevard in the Pico-Union neighborhood of Los Angeles, known for goat birria and carne asada tacos on handmade tortillas.
Overview
Saveur described El Parian as a restaurant that had already been in business for around 40 years at the time of its article, making it one of the older Mexican kitchens in Pico-Union, west of Downtown Los Angeles. It is cash only, according to The Infatuation.
Menu
Goat is the house specialty, sold by the pound or as a stew in a citrusy, rich consomé and eaten with handmade corn tortillas. Saveur's taco coverage focused instead on the carne asada taco: beef seasoned with salt and lime, charred on the grill and served on a handmade tortilla with onion, cilantro and red chile salsa. El Parian appears in The Infatuation's guide to the best birria in Los Angeles.
