    Chicken Rice Soup
    Zacharias R.

    I ordered the steak tacos they are ok I'll give it a above average you have to use the actual taco salsa to really get the full flavor and effect. But man that chicken rice soup... 5 out of 5 I mean it's visually beautiful, and makes your mouth explode. You can taste the Authenticity of this dish this is real as it gets. This soup puts you in Mexico having a traditional dish with your family with one bite!

    Food was hot, fresh and came out quickly. Price was just right. I'm not often in the Plainfield area but if I'm in the area and craving authentic Mexican food I would definitely stop by. I would definitely recommend.

    Burrito Loco

    Food & service were excellent! It is called El Paraiso now. You get more than enough food for your lunch serving & the prices are reasonable. I will definitely be back when I'm in the Plainfield area.

    Definitely has went downhill recently. Service is great but the food is subpar and inconsistent.

    Great authentic food. Usually a pretty clean restaurant with great chips and salsa. Burrito loco is my dish. Check it out!

    Love this place, I'm usually there on Sundays. Half price draft beer and margaritas. Best chips and salsa!

    I have now been here twice and can honestly say this spot is AMAZING! Margaritas are the best I…read morehave ever had. I am happy to know that you can get a mimosa or champagne as well. Nothing is better with chips and salsa than bubbles. I highly recommend Plato Ranchero. One of the best dishes I have ever had. The Flautas are also tasty. I would order the salad on the side next time only because we spent quite a bit of time chatting. Salas are delish. Ask for the spicy one. You won't be disappointed. Staff....beyond friendly and accommodating. Both visits we had a wonderful experience. Atmosphere is beautiful. Absolutely a must stop.

    The first time I stopped here I left because they didn't offer a la carte tacos and I wasn't in…read morethe mood for a meal. The second time was better because I had the time to sit down and enjoy my food. I was greeted upon entry and treated like a queen for my entire duration. My needs were anticipated and my server delivered. This is a great place to dine alone, with friends, on a date, having a gathering, etc. There is plenty of space as well as a couple of private rooms and outdoor patio area. On the day I visited. I ordered the shrimp tacos which were plentiful and authentic tasting with the corn shells. They were cheesy and running over with a side of rice. Just what I like. Would I go again? Absolutely! Would I get the same dish? Yes, plus more.

They no longer serve coffee or just were willing to serve it because wasn't ready so that was already disappointing, everything kinda took a long time to get. We asked for a receipt because they use the little computers and overall just that took 10 minutes at least which is in a way a little outrageous. The place itself is always pretty and clean but the food quality for the pricing has absolutely gone down.

Almost resembling a chain restaurant( which it very well might be--no idea if it is). We were promptly greeted and seated. A friendly server took our drink orders. I had the happy hour special margarita and hubby had a Modelo. We even put in our second drink order immediately since happy hour ended in a few minutes. The drink I received was salty and not sweet at all--however, the second one proved corrected and refreshing. We gave our food orders which consisted of the ceviche and the molcajete. The food came very quickly! Which made us very happy as we were starving! If you have never tried a molcajete--it feeds two easily. It has beef steak, chicken, shrimp and nopales. And the broth in the bottom of the bowl? Ask for more tortillas--because it's delicious! My goodness-don't leave it! We definitely couldn't eat it all and had to take the remainder home. As I write this--my stomach is growling. I can't wait to return!
