Our server was wonderful, so kind and happy! I enjoyed that this place feels like a mom and pop shop, they have a great patio, and the biggest Agua Fresca I’ve ever had. The food hit the spot, just wish they went a little heavier on the cheese and sauce on some dishes!

I've only ordered delivery. The food is actually presented as "attractive to the eye" as well as amazingly delicious and extraordinarily delicious! I've only ordered 2x so far but will definitely order from El Paraiso when ordering Latino food. This is one of my new favorite restaurants! Give it try : )

One of my favorite spots in Asheville to get Mexican food!! Their mole is amazing... every other Mexican restaurant in Asheville is the same place!! Too many mama's and beer, papa's and beer locations..
Don't people know there's different styles of Mexican food? I don't think there's another restaurant making mole in Asheville. This place is awesome
