El Paraiso Special Dish
Madison H.

I went in for dinner with my grandparents. My grandparents have already had a not-so-great experience at El Paraiso a few years back, so I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't as good as I thought it would be at first. However, El Paraiso proved me wrong over the course of the meal. The interior is adorned with colorful paintings and bright tables. We sat down and were greeted quickly, then we ordered our drinks. Soon, our drinks came out and we ordered the food. I ordered the Pollo con Arroz with chicken and no vegetables. Our food arrived pretty quickly and we started eating. My food was flavorful and delicious! El Paraiso surpassed my expectations and the service was great! Our server, whose name I forgot, checked on us frequently. Definitely stop by for a nice meal!

The entire menu is probably the most bland food I have ever eaten. No seasoning at all, on anything.

We only had a short window for eating due to my break from work. This place is close so we gave it…read morea try. They sat us right away and it was a Saturday night at 5:30. They brought chips and salsa as well as a bean/cheese dip that was very tasty. We split the Santa Fe Chicken - grilled breast with sautéed peppers, onions, mushrooms and tomatoes covered in cheese sauce. Rice and beans also came with the dish. It was all very delicious and the service was quick with friendly staff. The ambiance was typical mexican. Cute and colorful. Our entire meal was $14.81 plus tip.

They have several TVs around the restaurant, and was showing the World Cup and news at the time. They weren't very busy at lunchtime. We were seated immediately and received their complementary chips, salsa and a cheese/bean dip combo. After that the service got slow. It took a while for our server to come, he took our drink orders and when he returned one was wrong. Then he didn't return for a while to take our food order. Maybe he was preoccupied with the World Cup? Once we received our food the dishes were very good, but not great. Typical food flavors that most Mexican restaurants have. However, the portions were very large. Note that they don't offer the lunch menu on weekends, so you have to order dinner-sized portions. The chicken and steak fajitas were good and I certainly didn't leave hungry. It came with rice and beans, which were as usual at most Mex. restaurants. The wife enjoyed her beef, chicken and bean enchilada supreme meal, but the cheese enchilada wasn't good. The enchilada sauce was good but not great. The short story is the ambience was average, the service was hit or miss, the food was good but not great, and the dinner portion sizes are large. We may visit again sometime but aren't in any rush. It would be nice if they offered the lunch menu on weekends during lunch hours.

Disgusting. Inedible. When the soft drinks tasted bad with a weird aftertaste to it. Dr. Pepper…read moreshould not smell like cleaning solvent. The birria was morning but fat, with a huge chunk of fat in floating the dipping broth. The beef was flavored with salt, and nothing else. The only thing good here was the service, and the establishment was clean. Our waiter was attentive, clean, well groomed, and deserves to work somewhere better. Poor guy.
