The food was good, but it wasn't anything different that you couldn't get at every other Mexican restaurant in town.The chips were served warm and had an excellent snap to them, and the salsa was crisp and tasty but nothing special. The queso was thin and tasty. (I like slightly thicker cheese sauce... and a little spice, which there was none. )Our server, Karlita, seemed to be bothered that we sat in her section. She stopped at our table and would ask us if there was something we wanted as she was walking away, so we couldn't really get the things we asked for previously in a decent fashion. The drinks were fairly prompt, aside from the only one that mattered, which was a simple cup of water for a toddler.I couldn't taste the chorizo in my beef & chorizo burrito, but again, it was still tasty. Their refried beans and rice were good.The fajita burrito was huge! It's smothered in queso sauce and pretty good, but again, it's the same as everywhere else.The whole reason we went to El Paraiso instead of El Super Burrito (which has the best burritos by far!) was to be able to have margaritas.The large margaritas came in a big beer stein rather than a margarita glass and tasted like any margarita mix that you can get at the store.This place is good if you don't like to try anything different than what you're used to.

Have yet to have a bad experience here. Birria tacos, ceviche, and the Jose special with jalapenos are among my favorite things. Always have great berry jalapeno margs as

Bought a steak taco salad but the steak was so tough and very chewy!I would order the regular beef.They also need to post the prices for the food online because it's quite a shock when you go pick up your order if you don't ask their present prices!!!
