About EL Paisano

EL Paisano offers a unique dining experience, with its warm salsa being an absolute must-try. The restaurant is also open late, until 4am on weekends, making it a great spot for a second dinner or a late-night snack. The tacos are the best of all, and the barbacoa is notable, with options like red sauce for those who enjoy a spicy kick. The restaurant is beautiful, very clean, and has a great atmosphere, often covered up with cars and people even on weeknights. While some find the prices high, the food is exceptional and comes in generous portions, with many customers leaving with full boxes to take home. The service is great, and the owner's taste in decor is admired, creating a happy place for young families, older couples, and groups of friends.

The restaurant has recently undergone renovations, giving it a very pink look. The barbacoa tacos are described as super greasy, but the tripas (tripe) are crispy and delicious, as are the fajita tacos. The salsa is said to be on point, and the music is amazing. However, some customers have reported poor service, with waitstaff appearing disinterested and even giving eye rolls when customers are undecided. The tacos are considered fair but overpriced, and a customer was disappointed with a thin, mushy torta (Mexican sandwich) with hardly any lettuce. Despite these mixed reviews, EL Paisano remains a great choice for those looking for a Mexican restaurant with a twist.
