    Chips and salsa with warm refried beans!
    John R.

    Once again great service, great HH food with 4 mini carnitas tacos, buffalo chicken tenders, margarita, and delicious sangria. This time I found the cantina and the vibe is popping. Best in class Mexican restaurant in Washington.

    Carne asada Tacos
    Jim M.

    As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with fresh, hand-rolled tortillas that were absolutely delicious. Since it was happy hour, I went for some drinks and tacos--the specials and options were surprisingly affordable. I chose the carne asada tacos, which I'd highly recommend to any taco lover; they're easily among the top five I've ever tried. A word of advice: skip the ground beef tacos at any authentic Mexican spot. All in all, it was a fantastic experience with quick, friendly service. El Paraiso has become my go-to restaurant in downtown Everett.

    Mariscos a la Diabla
    Mark S.

    First time at El Paradiso and had a great meal! My server Susana was super nice and made a great recommandation, the spicy seafood dish Mariscos Diablo. Everyone here is friendly and it's a fun atmosphere.

    The food was not what I was expecting. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing. Definitely not worth the price. I probably should have ordered something else. The place was crowded so I assumed the food must have been really good. The food came out fast and the waitress gave amazing service. I am sure everyone request her section. I would go back to try something else

    Mariscos a la Diabla $22.95 - 3 Stars

    We arrived at El Paraiso late on a Friday night about 8:30pm. With the several not-yet-cleared table in sight, they must have had a busy night. Good for them. They cleared a table for us, and we were promptly seated afterwards. The place visually looks like most Mexican restaurants do - festive! Our service was cordial. The Food: El Paraiso Steak, $22.95 - 3 Stars Menu: Sliced skirt steak with green and red peppers, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and jalapeno peppers sauteed in our special sauce, with guacamole, tortillas, rice, beans This sounded like it should be good. Visually, it looks about the same as most other Mexican dishes. The beef was a bit chewy. The flavor is "normal", meaning kind of taste like the typical tomato-y, garlic, veggies stir-fry. We can't taste what might be the special sauce. Anyway, not bad, not special, either. Mariscos a la Diabla $22.95 - 3 Stars Menu: Choice of shrimp, scallops, or fish sauteed in our specialty spicy sauce served with onions and mushrooms. Garnished with lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, and our house dressing Diabla is my standard order at all Mexican restaurants. Theirs has a murky tomato look instead of a vibrant tomato red. The flavor lacked spiciness and a certain sharpness that would clear my sinuses. The waiter looked at me and said he can't eat that; it's too spicy. I said it's not spicy at all! I should have asked for hot sauce at that point. Having the option for scallops or fish is a nice differentiation. This dish is normally with shrimps only.

    Kids chicken strips and fries

    Super busy tonight but still a good experience. Food was out quickly and everything was tasty. Hubby ordered a massive burrito which he enjoyed and I got the enchiladas mole (also good). The kids chicken strips and fries were a bit sad but this is also a Mexican restaurant and I don't don't them for that. Drinks were strong and delicious. It's fairly loud but actually quite cozy. Tables are packed in here but there's plenty of space still. Plenty of parking on both sides of the building. We'll be back for sure.

    Fried ice cream for dessert.

    I usually order the ceviche (shrimp and fish), steak fajitas, or carne asada and have always had a good experience. I especially love the fresh, homemade tortillas in the evenings. The service is always great and love the music in the cantina.

    The staff was friendly, the ambiance was fun, energetic and the food was great! You get the complimentary bean dip, salsa and chips. I ended up getting the carne asada plate after the wonderful waitress suggested that plate over so special trio plate I was going to get, but asked her for her suggestion. Tortillas hechas a mano!!! Handmade tortillas for the gringos, they are awesome with the meal. It's a gem in Everett!

    Carne Asada y Mas
    Jonelle T.

    El Paraiso serves up some solid Mexican. We were in the area and popped in for dinner. Surprise surprise, there's a lady making fresh tortillas as soon as you walk in the door! She expertly rolled them up with some butter and salsa and we happily munched on them as we were seated. My son gobbled up the complimentary chips with salsa and bean dip and my husband and I both ordered the carne asada y mas. I did a beef enchilada with mine, while my husband went with chorizo. The plates were hot, the food was delicious and the beer was cheap. What more could you ask for?!

    If you're looking for a bar with bar food and not very good drinks I have the place. Pretty plain…read morevibe and bar look to it, nothing special. I can say we were all pretty disappointed in this place. The staff was the only positive that we took away from this experience. Both servers that we encountered were both kind and attentive. The drinks and food however totally missed the marks. We all started off with drinks 2 margaritas, a gin gimlet and a beer between the four of us. The margaritas were terrible, like I am not sure how they put them as a feature drink. They had zero jalapeños and also offered no spicy margarita whatsoever. My wife's gin gimlet tasted like straight up lime juice. All were complete misses. Next we moved on to the food where each couple ordered a dozen wings. The X's and O's( fries and onion rings) and we also ordered a wedge salad. The wedge salad came out and idk how it was marketed as wedge when it was a bowl of salad completely engulfed in dressing(closer to soup than salad). Next the fries and onion rings came out and I'm not usually a stickler for what things cost, but $17 for like 6 onion rings and a very sad plate of fries. We expected a bit more for what we ordered for the table. Lastly the wings. While the flavoring of the wings were good, they came out not too warm to the touch and biting into them they were cold on the inside. Concerned that we may get sick from uncooked meat they assured us that they were precooked and just dropped into the fryer to finish them off. To me it is concerning that though they were precooked and still missed on hearing them all way, you may need to have a chat with your kitchen. Both of the servers were on top of it and ran both dozens back to have our order recooked. Second time around they were hot and crispy with good flavor(although the garlic boom boom wings were missing one of the sauces the second time around). It didn't matter, we ate them and paid. Not sure we will put this on our revisit list. Maybe the burgers or flatbread were the way to go, but out of 3 menu items and even the drinks.... There needs to be much more effort to everything here...

We got there about half an hour early to try and get lunch before the performance started, but it took a while for the food to show up.

The others had a breakfast burrito that actually was too small burritos and hashbrowns. Unfortunately when they brought that out, they didn't bring any silverware so he didn't eat the hashbrowns.

    Every time I come to Everett, I find something new to enjoy!…read moreThe Colby Club is my latest find. The revitalizing Everett downtown offers an increasingly impressive selection of restaurant and drinking choices. The Colby Club is one of the best. Presented as a "Speakeasy ", it is not in any way hidden away, but strives for the '20s vibe, with period furniture and decor. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, professional,and helpful. Our Bartender, Mark, was exceptional! Watching him craft our cocktails was a show in itself! Delicious cocktails well crafted and presented. We're looking forward to our next visit!

    Omg, okay so Friday night date night, first Friday of the month, which apparently matters (more on…read morethat later). We roll up to the Colby Club in Everett, and honestly? I thought it was closed. It's dark outside, no sign glowing, kinda mysterious in a "do we knock or...?" way. But we slide in and BAM... disco lights, disco jams, and staff dressed straight out of the '70s. I was instantly vibing. We snagged a table facing the crowd because obviously I live for good people watching. Our waitress, adorable and super sweet, suggested I try the Lavender Flip, and holy moly it was amazing. Like floral, creamy, cozy perfection in a glass. Hubby got some cucumber-whiskey thing that looked so fancy I had to steal a sip (and yes, it was as good as it looked). Food-wise, we split... he got the charcuterie board (solid) and I got the bacon-wrapped dates, which were basically tiny bites of happiness. Just enough to snack on without ruining the drinks. The whole vibe? Chef's kiss. My husband actually said, "This is my perfect place," and he's not wrong. Chill lighting, funky crowd, killer playlist, and that sweet spot between classy and relaxed. Only hiccup, it took forever to get our check, but to be fair, it was packed and our waitress apologized about a dozen times. Then I find out Everett does some big "First Friday" thing every month, and Colby Club goes all in. Disco night and all-night happy hour. Like, what?! Unreal. Definitely coming back on a regular night too, just to see what the "normal" vibe is like (if it's ever normal). 10/10 for date night energy, people watching, and cocktails that make you wanna dance under a disco ball.
