"The restaurant has been offering quesabirria as a special, which should be available all the time." - Luke Tsai

"While a restaurant exactly like Flores might not exist in Marin County, there are some higher end Mexican restaurants excelling in the area, including Playa and Parranga in Mill Valley and Copita Tequileria y Comida in Sausalito. Corte Madera, however, remains lacking in such options." - Janelle Bitker

"Parranga, located in the Strawberry Village shopping center in Mill Valley, Marin County, is a Mexican restaurant from the team behind Colibri in Union Square. Owner Eduardo Rallo and chef Jose Miguel Smith Bustos emphasize slow-cooked meats in Parranga’s rotisserie, used in tacos, tortas, and salads. They offer a variety of options including roasted pork shoulder in a pineapple-chile marinade. The restaurant's industrial-designed space features communal tables. Parranga supports local produce from area farms and pastries from La Victoria bakery. The beverage menu includes beer, margaritas, sangria, shakes, smoothies, juices, and Mexican Coke. Non-dairy and customizable sweetness options are available for shakes and smoothies. The name 'Parranga' signifies 'endless joy' and is a nod to the tongue twister Parangaricutirimicuaro. The venue opens for lunch and dinner, with plans to add breakfast and brunch." - Rachel Vigoda

WOW! This place was fantastic! This isn't even hyperbole; I have sampled a reasonable range of famed taquerias and magical holes in walls, and Parranga stands out. Two unusual things immediately caught my eye on their menu: quesabirrias and cochinita pibil tacos. Quesabirrias are beef birria and cheese tacos fried and then eaten dipped in rich consomme. They are indeed as delicious as they sound, and not yet a very common item on many menus, and luckily, these are an excellent example of what quesabirrias should aspire to be. The cochinita pibil was a monthly special worth trying, with flavorful pork placed atop an insanely good handmade tortilla. Speaking of which, boy do I love these tortillas--I would eat them with everything if I could get away with it. The asada taco was also excellent and flavorful, and their green salsa was a tasty complement to the food. My fiancee, who is Mexican, agreed that everything was delicious, even the chilaquiles, though I would recommend just straight up loading up on tacos and quesabirrias. We will be coming back next time we're in the area for sure!

We have been to Parranga twice now and we love it! You can see by the picture the bones (empty plates) of our food. We love everything. The people that run Parranga are very friendly and you can tell they really want you to enjoy the food because they're proud of what they do. So far I think the fried plantain and the burrito are my favorite items on the menu. Concerning covid: the tables are generously spaced apart and we felt comfortable eating outside. Indoor dining appears to be mostly empty still which I'm okay with given the risks of covid still being relevant regardless of what is allowed by the county. There was enough outdoor seating to handle everybody anyway.

I feel like we discovered a secret gem in Parranga. The sopa de tortilla was mild-medium spicy and great. The kid quesadilla was also a hit. I love that they not only have a huge TV for games, but also a ping pong table that a Dad/daughter were using and also a big choice of board games. ¡Autentico y sabroso!

Last Sunday we had a lunch at this place. Whether was beautiful, we took a table outside. Ordered couple fish tacos and burrito. Burrito was good, but fish taco had a surprise inside...I bit a piece and felt something weird, I thought it is a fish bone, but when I remove it from my mouth it was a staple!!! Can you imagine!? A staple!!! I decided to leave my review here just to warn people to avoid this place if you wont your mouth/teeth/stomach to be hurt. When I call the waitress to our table to show her this staple she said ‘OMG!’, took this plate and disappeared. Today I got a refund for two tacos on my card. But I do not want my money back, I want you guys pay more attention to food preparation process. Thanks!

My mother and I stopped here after hiking and camping in Marin. The restaurant was colorful and bright on the inside with sunny outdoor seating. We were helped right away and ordered the Al Pastor, Carnitas, and Marinated Grilled Fish tacos with the pork chile verde and chicken mole tamales. The tacos arrived quickly to our table wrapped in what must have been homemade tortillas which were deliciosos. Everything was mouth-wateringly good and we felt energized by the great food and kind service. Looking forward to visiting again! *Please excuse the little food left in the photo...the food made me forget about taking a good picture!

Loved the shrimp tacos! The chicken taquitos, and al pastor and carnitas tacos were solid. Nice outdoor seating area.
