Review by Haven

October 16, 2024

I recently spent a delightful afternoon at Paraíso, and it truly exceeded my expectations. The vibrant ambiance set the perfect tone for our meal. I tried the Mar y Tierra sopes, which were bursting with flavor, and paired them with a pitcher of refreshing El Fancy Margarita - definitely a winner!

Our server, Gabriel, was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, making thoughtful recommendations. The casual vibe and friendly staff made it a memorable experience. I’ll definitely be back for more of those tasty tacos and live music... 🌮
