ordered blended margarita and got one on the rocks that did not taste good. Ordered Chorizo burrito and got a plate of cheese with crumbs of sausage. I explained that it wasn't what I ordered and he looked upset and told me In so many words that there was a misunderstanding. It looked good so I said it was okay, I will try it. I didn't like it because it was mostly cheese. I felt very uncomfortable and did not want to upset the waiter again so I boxed it up and left. read more

Just love their seafood chimichanga. Filled with bay scallops, tiny shrimp and crab. They offer it with cream sauce or Chipotle cream sauce. The latter is perfect, flavorful but not too spicy as to hide the seafood. Chips come to the table with small bowls of salsa and bean dip, which I enjoy. Wonderful service. read more

Best Mexican place in Everett! You're greeted with a fresh tortilla upon entering. Real wood booths with beautiful designs, lots of plants and foliage. Staff is always attentive and friendly, and the food is next level, always SO good! My favorite here is the steak fajita quesadilla! read more

I had such a good experience here! I came in for dinner with my dad, and i'm so glad we did. Ive been in the restaurant industry for years and can recognize incredible service when I see it.... And that's exactly what it was! Fantastic. The young gentleman at the door was so warm and welcoming; he was patient with my dad when most wouldn't have been. I'm so thankful to him for that. Everyone who touched our table seemed so genuinely kind and made us feel so welcome. Thank you, Thursday night staff, I appreciate you! The food was everything I wanted and more, and the homemade tortillas at the front were the best touch. 10/10 experience, loved the food but the service was exceptional :) read more

We've come to this restaurant the last three weeks in a row with a large group, and every single time they've gone above and beyond. They've been able to accommodate us without any issue, fitting us in quickly--we've never waited more than 15 minutes. The service has been consistently excellent: warm, friendly, and attentive. On two separate occasions, they even brought us nachos as a starter without us asking and without charging us, which was such a generous touch. All around, the service, the people, and the food have been amazing. This place is a gem--highly recommend! read more

Been here many times for lunch. SOOOOOO GREAT!!! Food is amazing!! I got the shrimp salad and my husband got the shrimp fajitas. It was his first time here, and he loved the food! Wonderful size portions for the price. Their special green dressing is absolutely delicious!! A must try!!! read more

Absolutely phenomenal food and service at this Mexican restaurant. The setting and ambiance was incredibly authentic and full of life with multiple tv's broadcasting the Seahawks, a Christmas tree, vibrant colors, cheerful servers, and a taste of Mexico. The pulled beef tamales were mouth watering and the Mexican hot cocoa was delightful. 10/10 experience. The servers were very friendly and attentive to every table, making sure we had the best dining experience. Will be my go-to Mexican restaurant from now on. read more

Just arrived after Happy hour and was sat in the middle of the bar and asked to move to a booth two other couples did this before then the Apparent Night Manger Martin came and confronted only us about changing to a booth making a scene about it I told him to quit singling us out and that we asked to move and didn't just take the booth he continued to argue and we informed him we would not be coming back because of his attitude hopefully the owner takes this in to consideration when hiring Management VERY UNPROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR The Waite staff was very apologetic for his behavior read more

Service was slow and the server refused to take drink and food order together even though we were ready - I figured it was because there was a different food server, but no, he came back and took our food order like ten minutes later. The food itself was bland, and two out of four plates were obviously sitting for a while because they weren't hot when brought to our table. Seating was tight and uncomfortable. We came here because we were going to the Silvertips game, but I much prefer the Snohomish location, which is better all around. read more

I had three enchiladas there. It looks. The plating looks great like all other Mexican restaurants but the food was bland. There was no flavor to it. I had to put salt on it, and the food was not that hot. It was kind of cold and the people there seem like they didn't want to be there, I'm comparing this to Xtapa. Which their enchiladas were wonderful, and they were friendly. read more

The service was incredibly slow and the coke tasted watered down, didn't even bother ordering just left.

What an exciting find in the heart of Everett, just steps from the Angel of the Winds Arena! I am a pretty tough critic when it comes to Mexican food and this place met my needs! I had yet to find a seafood chimichanga worth writing home about but indeed I have found it here! From first greeting through our departure the employees here were friendly, helpful, engaging, and not invasive. The decor was average but they were certain to keep our water glasses and chip bowl full. My friend had the enchiladas while I savored each bite of my chimichanga. We agreed this is our new favorite Mexican restaurant. Well worth a trek to Everett, even if you aren't seeing a show or game at the arena! It doesn't hurt that they are right next to Funko - easy parking on weekends and lots to do in the area! read more

Food? Bland. No flavor. Service? SOME waitresses are nice the manager TERRIBLE very mean horrible attitude. The waitress who served my mom and I that went there ON HER BIRTHDAY FOR THE FIRST TIME was unprofessional to say the least. Then prime got my order wrong TWO TIMES and then got mad at me when I wanted it changed. At one point the manager gon tell me "after this you can't change it again" excuse me? I'm the paying customer here. We went in with a smile took pictures at the nice fountain they gave outside in the patio and I told them it was our first time.... NEVER AGAIN then they overcharge for what taste like Americanized Mexican food from azteca. It's very MID. DO NOT waste your time or money GO TO EL RICONSITO instead for better food and less fancy but way better tasting food and affordable prices. read more

Probably the best Mexican food in Everett. The fresh made tortillas when you walk in are a great way to make you hungry and order more. The carnitas are delicious and the queso fundido is also a great dish that not a lot of restaurants have. read more

We had the (1) 2 Tacos combo (2) Enchiladas combo and (3) A burrito. Seating was easy and comfortable, the chips and salsa came fast to the table, and we were able to enjoy a quick lunch in less than 30 minutes. Our meals were all great portions and we all thought our food tasted fresh and flavorful. The vibe is casual and family oriented. We'll go back again. read more

We came here for dinner with some friends. I loved being welcomed with a homemade tortilla at the front door. SO AMAZING!!! The service was ok. She was nice but not personable, no major complaints. The food came out pretty fast and was good. Items were randomly missed, like the float for my Cadillac margarita. We got the plates of food but the tortillas were late. None of these things were enough to prevent me from coming back. If you want a quick stop for some decent Mexican and in a convenient spot, I would recommend visiting. read more

This was probably the best Mexican place I had outside of CA lol. Obviously CA has the best Mexican cz it's a border state and what not. Thus when I travel to other states I usually don't expect the same "style" if you will. ANYWAY. This place was pretty darn good. It was 5 of us and we all had entrees with drinks included for a tota of about $115. Make of that what you will. BUT, the food tasted amazing. The portions were pretty big and they were open to exchanging sides for others (I.e beans instead of salad). The workers there were extremely nice. The service was extraordinary. The ambient was pretty chill. It was a Tuesday at noonish so usually people are at work or something. Would I return? ABSOLUTELY. Make sure to check them out and then give us a follow on our travel instagram/TikTok @thehungrynomadz read more

I wasn't really expecting much when I picked the restaurant after a long hike in the north Cascades, but was really happy with the choice! The vibe is really fun, but not overdone. the food was phenomenal and that's not just my hunger talking. It's always a good sign when your chips and salsa also comes with refried beans! The server was really kind and patient! If I'm ever in Everett, I'll definitely come back read more

Was very white washed. If you don't like spice, you'll like it here. Ordered a pollo asado and it was not marinaded whatsoever, it was only seasoned with salt and pepper . Rice was bland and full of potato's for some reason. Didn't even have any salt at the table to add to my food. Corn tortillas are made fresh and in house which is cool. Overall the place is okay.... But not the best. read more

My girls and I stopped into Paraiso after a long night of moving. Free street parking can be found. Discover is an accepted form of payment. Happy Hour is offered in the bar daily from 3pm-6pm then again from 9pm-close. Bar "specials" are an additional $2 when outside of the happy hours. On Monday's, crispy ground beef or chicken tacos are $1 each. The Happy Hour menu is extremely limited. Upon entrance, each person is offered a complimentary (street taco size) hot tortilla rolled with butter and salsa. The tortilla is tasty. The tip jar is distasteful to me. During our visit my girls and I sat in the bar. There are a few TVs mounted throughout the bar. Complimentary chips, salsa and refried beans are provided to snack on while looking over the menu. The chips were warm and the salsa mild. My wife and I each ordered a large Dos Equis for $6.95 and my daughter ordered a bottle of Angry Orchard for $3.25. My wife and I shared the large combination meal for $13.95: two ground beef burritos served with beans and rice. We inhaled our meal. My daughter ordered the small combination meal for $11.95: two ground beef enchiladas, minus the rice with extra beans. She too inhaled her meal. Our server was friendly and efficient. Overall, Paraiso offers meals at lower rates than other Mexican restaurants. Paraiso's food is average. Admittedly, the Silver Lake Paraiso is my favorite if I had to choose Paraiso to dine at. read more

I have been to this restaurant about 4-5 times now, and I keep coming back. The service is always attentive, the food is delicious and fresh tasting, the prices are acceptable and you leave full and satisfied. We usually come here after shopping in the area. We enjoy the Chicken Flautas, Steak Fajitas, and the Arroz Con Pollo. We have not tried much else as we cant seem to move on from these delicious entrees to try something new. If you are expecting an authentic experience from Mexico then this is not the place for you, but if you are looking for a great place to eat Mexican that is traditionally served in America, then this is the spot for you. read more

We've been here before. Nice Mexican Restsurant in downtown Everett. I base my liking for Mexican restaurants on the refried beans. They serve tortilla chips with salsa and a bean dip. The bean dip was delicious! The salsa was a tad too spicy, but good. Husband ordered the vegetarian enchiladas. He killed it! Ate nearly every bite! I on the other hand wasn't quite as hungry so I ordered a side fish taco and a side of refried beans. The fish was a bit bland. It was chunks of a fried white fish. It could have used a bit more seasoning. The refried beans are usually good. This too needed more seasoning. I did bring it home and heated it up the next day and it was perfectly fine. We ate outside under the awning & umbrellas. It was a pleasant evening. Staff were very friendly and efficient. They were all masked up. Inside I don't think the booths were socially distant, but since the booths look pretty stationary. There were no tables in the center isle and as I recall, there used to be tables there pre-Covid. The bar was closed though. We always return were we are in the area. I hope to give them another star next time. I suppose we all have an off day. read more

My boyfriend and I had gone to the Funko HQ while we were in Seattle for a few days and this spot was just a block away from there. We were starving so decided to go here and were so pleasantly surprised. EVERYTHING here was great. From service to food to drinks. As soon as you get seated, they being over chips, salsa and refried beans dip which is extremely flavorful and authentic. (My boyfriend is Latino and he gave this place a 5 star!) We got some chicken tacos and a burrito and they were both 10/10. I was exceptionally happy with the tacos. But mind you, it's a big plate!! Also, their mango lemonade was a 20/10! Highly recommend it. read more
