I consider myself to be somewhat of a chicken, quesadilla connoisseur, and let me tell you there is absolutely zero exaggeration when I say that this was the best chicken quesadilla I’ve ever had in my entire life. The Chef/owner was also one of the friendliest people I’ve ever met. I would definitely go back the only mistake I made the first time around Was not bringing my friends, and family and getting more food.

I can only give Tacos El Paraíso five stars, but they deserve ten. I've eaten delicious local food in Mexico and this is no different—but very different from what we often get in the USA! We ordered the Chilaquiles con Carnitas and Pollo Asado Plate. The chilaquiles were delicious but hot! In the best and most authentic way. It makes you want to eat more and burn more. ? Couldn't get enough but definitely had to pace ourselves. The pollo asado was the opposite, a nice and flavorful plate that was so enjoyable to eat. I don't even like cactus most of the time and this had me eating it with my fingers along with the tortillas, grilled jalapeño, and grilled chicken. This is the first Mexican restaurant we've tried since moving to Leland and we don't need to look anywhere else. So glad we live just minutes away and can't wait to try even more of their food. Thank you so much!

I had tacos de chorizo, pastor, and carnita. All were very good, nice portion and reasonably priced. I was loving the menu I read over while waiting on my tacos. It was nice to find a hidden gem for authentic Mexican food. With such a good first experience, I'll be going back to work my way down the list of options.

We’ve traveled all over Mexico and have eaten a lot of fabulous Mexican food throughout their country. This little hidden gem is some of the very best Mexican food we have ever had! Very authentic. i had the chicken chilaquiles and my husband had a steak torta. Both were amazing. The green salsa packed a nice heat. All the flavors were bursting and doing a happy dance in my mouth. I was very excited to see that they have chilaquiles on their menu because this is so hard to find in the states. i haven’t found it in any other Mexican restaurant here in Wilmington. Who would have thought a little place in Leland would have it! They also had mole as the special today. That’s hard to find too! They have a cute little outdoor covered seating area that makes you feel like you are in an authentic Mexican taqueria. When you first drive up, it doesn’t look like much but don’t let that fool you. We loved the entire experience and will definitely be back! Oh, and their sanitation score is a 98. Very clean and sanitary kitchen.

This is a little walk up place with detached seating. The huevos divorciados with chorizo was AMAZING and worth 5 stars all on its own. I wish they would have taken a wet washcloth to the tables before we got there! A clean table would have really made this place shine all the more. But really, the food is lovely and worth the drive.
Wheelchair accessibility: While there are technically ramps up they are steep and not in the best of repair. If you are trying to get here by wheelchair know that you can but it will be difficult.
