    Crispy chicken tacos
    Sophia K.

    Such a cute place!! Very spacious and pretty inside. All of our food was amazing, but the coconut flan was definitely the highlight! Our server was very helpful and gave us great recommendations.

    Great food! The best rib eye tacos shrimp cocktail and quesa birrias. Family restaurant

    Churros with ice cream

    I had a great experience for my first time visiting. My favorite was the spicy seafood tostada which had great flavor and the shrimp/fish were fresh. The shrimp tacos and ribeye tacos were nice. The mango margarita, froze, mezcal spicy, and watermelon mojito drinks were all very enjoyable. The green sauce can be a little bit hotter, but the creamy haberno has a nice kick to it. I will definitely be back soon!

    Grilled Red Snapper Adobo, black beans and white rice, mild salsa, warm corn tortillas and a classic margarita with Tajin rim
    Toni W.

    Cantina Paraiso is hands down the best Mexican food in the area. The items are fresh every time we visit. The customer service is 10/10. Also, the classic margarita with the Tajin Rim 10/10. So let me get to the best part, the Grilled Red Snapper was so fresh, marinated so well, accompanied by rice and black beans, home made corn tortillas, fresh garnishments. Just look at the photo. Shout-out to all the team at this location. We are happy to have you at The Parks at Walter Reed. Welcome to the community.

    Great service and a yummy lunch! The lunch menu is a little limited for now. Excellent breakfast tacos with chorizo, eggs, and potatoes.

    Had a great time and dinner! Chicatana is unassuming and unpretentious, staffed with attentive…read moreservers who do an amazing job (water was always filled and empty plates removed quite efficiently). The decor is simple, no table clothes or frills but it does live up to 'fine cuisine' with excellent food and presentation (another subtle touch is if you leave the table, you return to a nicely folded napkin). We got nearly everything on the menu including all the desserts and Mexican hot chocolate (yum, lightly spicy and piping hot!) . As others have said their guacamole is excellent...do check the charges though bc they added salsa and chips to the tab which we did not order (they removed). Also, the first order of guac came with big bowl of chips, but none with the second order of guac- not a problem though because you do not go hungry. Portions are quite generous. We even tried the ants which was a fun novelty

After parking in the Giant parking garage (decent price), we walked the few blocks to the restaurant. We spotted it with the poster sign hanging up on the outer walls. Inside you head up the stairs and you're greeted by the host stand. We checked in and got our table, right at the window (hellya). There was a rose and a candle on the table (vday vibes) and we also received a vday specials menu. We landed on queso fundido to start and a cocktail each: prickly pear marg for her, a viva mexico for me. After fundido'ing it up, we ordered our entrees. We're simple folks it was a 2 carne asada tacos, 1 al pastor taco, 1 pescado taco, and 1 chicken quesadilla. Unfortunately we weren't bold enough to try the insectos. Food was great, drinks were great, service was great. You can pay your tab via Toast for no additional fee which was convenient. There are two, single use bathrooms in there too. Overall, solid spot.

The chips are perfection--very thin, crunchy, fresh, with a slight amount of salt. The salsa was tomato forward, and while I usually crave heat, I really liked the balanced flavor--so much I had two bowls! I orders the cheese enchiladas and it was massive and oh so cheesy. There were cheese pulls for days. The rice was good, I tasted the beans and they were also okay. This really hit my craving spot on, and I had a few beers on the patio because the weather and vibe were just right. My server was Eric and he was very consistent and very great. He made sure I never had an empty plate or glass, which was very appreciated. Overall really great time!

Mi Rancho's prices are reasonable, the portion sizes good, and the staff friendly and helpful. I appreciated the delicious complementary chips and salsa, and we were able to get refills. Mi Rancho is also very family-friendly-they have high chairs, an extensive kid's menu, and we saw several kids there. I got the mixed chicken and beef fajitas for my dinner. While the meat was a little tough and needed a bit more flavor, the accompaniments were good and combined with the salsa, produced great flavor. I would recommend Mi Rancho if you're looking for a family-friendly, laid-back dinner in Silver Spring.
