El Pariente, a pioneering Mexican catering and banquet business in Minnesota, began in 1997. Over time, customer demand led to the opening of Saint Paul's East Side's first Mexican food truck in 2014. Three years later, in 2017, we established our first and only restaurant in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, which has been enjoyed by many notable guests. We are particularly known for our Birria Tacos, El Surco 18" with Carne Asada, Torta with Al Pastor, and Street Tacos with Barbacoa.
