Restaurante El Pariente

A really nice place to eat along the way, clean bathrooms and nice place overall. The personnel is nice and they take your order using an iPad app so it's fast to order and the food delivery is even faster for that main reason, I just wish they had more food variety. Nice and great place overall.

I came here twice while staying in Canoas. I heard amazing things from multiple people in the area and it definitely lived up to its reputation. The group I was with ate vegetarian, but the meat smelled amazing. Literally every dish tasted perfect. The rice was soft, perfect texture and flavor. The tortillas made my soul melt in happiness. The grilled onions were a highlight, definitely recommend them as part of your taco experience. The orange juice blew my mind, it was so fresh and delicious. I will be coming back as soon as I can.

El Pariente is a must stop if you are ever on the Carretera Nacional. The food is amazing, the atmosphere inviting and the service is second to none. Throw in the fabulous prices where you get the best bang for your dollar or should I say Peso!

Gotta stop at the famous roadside “Restaurante El Pariente”! This is a huuuuuge roadside restaurant with an ample menu included meats, guisos, desserts, and artisanal ice creams. The food is very tasty, I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve ever ordered here. The service is efficient and friendly. There is a big parking lot and the place is huge. Great for families! In non-COVID times they have little rides for the kids. They also have a small store where you can buy their locally made products.

These are some of the best tacos I've had! The tacos and Gorditas a must-try. There’s a long waiting to get inside, but it’s worth it. Overall, a fantastic meal that I'd recommend at any hour.

Very clean, well served, outstanding attention. Topical regional taste. Fast delivery. Fair prices. I highly recommend it.

Excellent service, amazing food and the staff is so friendly and helpful. Every time I go to Monterrey this place is a must! The cuts of meats are soft and super delicious. The beans, rice and Gorditas are delicious. My favorite salsa is the red one. Don’t miss this gem!

Very big place with an indoor playground for kids. The food was delicious. I had the ribeye, and my wife had the arrachera. We enjoyed our food very much. We also had a pitcher of lemonada muy sabroso.
