El Paisa Alegre #2 El Original is a restaurant known for its delectable cuisine, particularly the big tacos and carnitas tacos with their flavorful green sauce. However, the dining experience can be marred by the restaurant's subpar service. According to reviews, the waitstaff is often poorly trained and unable to properly inform customers about additional charges, leading to surprising bills. Additionally, the staff has been reported to be confrontational and unprofessional, with one reviewer describing a waiter as "screaming" at them and the owner. Despite these service issues, the food is praised as "AMAZING" and "absolutely delicious," suggesting that the restaurant may be worth a visit, but primarily for takeout orders to avoid the problematic service.
