This service was inappropriate one lady was too drunk and he try to insult my friends I don't recommend read more

Food is delicious and staff is very welcoming! I definitely recommend trying their classic steaks and their soups! Everything is always cooked well with the perfect touch of seasoning. Their prices are reasonable for the great food and they always make sure you are full and satisfied. It is definitely a great place to hit as well if you are in the mood for some drinks as they have a walk in jukebox for their clients! 5/5 for me! read more

This was the worst Tex Mex I've ever had. The queso was worse than movie theatre nacho cheese and the tamale was completely disintegrated. Even the chips were stale. Honestly afraid I'm going to get food poisoning. read more

Working in the area today and needed a quick meal. Read yelp reviews and decided to give this place a try. Glad I did. I was able to eat a good meal in about 25 minutes total. Salsa and chips were yummy. Salsa was fresh and chunky with tomatoes and cilantro. I ordered the enchilada pollo. Lunch arrived before I finished my chips. Chicken and peppers were nicely seasoned inside enchilada. Guacamole was also fresh and tasty. The music was loud, too much since there were only a few people in the restaurant. U read more

El Paraiso Tex Mex Restaurant - Cockroach in my food!!! so disgusting!! very disappointed!! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Hyattsville, Maryland

Awful. The veggie burrito doesn't have rice or beans but carrots and zucchini. The "Chile con queso" is gas station cheese with no meat in it. The pupusa was ok avoid if you want burritos. read more

I ordered this meal on uber eats and I was very disappointed in my order. The very first bite I ate was of a bone! I have never had bones in my enchiladas... I am very disappointed and I would not recommend ever going to this restaurant! read more

El Paraiso Tex Mex Restaurant - Bones In the enchilada - Tex-Mex Near Me - Hyattsville, Maryland

Well - I did not see this coming - this place isn't that bad - perhaps 3.5 stars. I went here on a whim, and somewhat early so it was almost entirely empty except for some people at the bar. I was the only sit down order. The place itself is not terribly attractive - I don't think they care too much and not sure if they have any interest to invest in the atmosphere. The complimentary chips were quite good - I scarfed them down and probably spoiled my appetite a bit. That said, I did like the food and did not expect that. I ordered the veggie enchiladas which were not very greasy and seemed somewhat "healthier" than your typical Mexican restaurant. It came with a good amount of rice and beans as well as some salad - a good meal portion overall. I found the pricing very fair and the service was very good too (although I was the only one there in the dining area so would expect that! lol). As I referenced, they do have a bar area and perhaps that is where most people end up. I can see this place catching on - if I am ever in the area again I would like to give it another try - but not sure if I will be there in the near term. So, I would say the food and service is around 3.5 stars, but the atmosphere is closer to 2 stars. read more

El Paraiso is batting 5 for 5 ... 5 visits, all pretty awesome. Downside - liquor license pending, beer and wine only right now. Fully remodeled with ornate bar, but cafeteria setting. Service: Josue is amazing. His recommendations for food are consistently solid. We never want for drink or salsa refills. Food: I am a Mexican food snob (there, I said it) --- we have been there five times (need I say more?) The Paraiso Especial is to die for - a sauteed steak garnished with grilled, seasoned shrimp, grilled veggies(or on-plate salad), rice and beans for $16.95 (dinner price; lunch is $1 cheaper). Nothing else considered, that dish (had it four times) gets all five stars. The chicken burrito plate (my other meal) - also good, but not nearly as exciting. On the other side of the table: My Mrs reps for the vegetarians of the world. She has allowed me to return here multiple times because she feels the same way about the veggie enchiladas that I do about the Especial (did I already post about the Especial?...yummmm) Location: El Paraiso is right on New Hampshire Ave in a little shopping center (Sheridan St is the cross street) that, like most in the area, looks a little suspect as you drive by. Solution: Don't drive by - STOP! (you'll be glad that you did) read more

Do not, absolutely do not order food from here. Of the food we had delivered the "queso" was straight out of a can nacho cheese worse than you would get at the cinema or base ball game. The steak in the tacos had raw meat in it and the cheese enchiladas were microwaved with the cheese on top melting and just shredded cheese inside read more

The steak my mother had was so hard that she could not cut it at all. My grandmother had a steak as well pure fat and some meat in it ... I am vegan so I had rice and beans but found a piece of pork in my food! Do not recommend plus there was a lot of drunk met signing songs .. read more

Incredible food and service. "Combinacion el Paraiso" is the best Tex-Mex dish I had in my life. This place is worth the trip. 5 stars all the way! read more

Please note, that this review is for carryout only. Therefore, its a judgement on the food itself without much reference to service or anything else. Food was ready upon arrival, and the presentation was good. It was late Friday night - around 11pm, and I was sick of the usual Peruvian Chicken fare that is so readily available in the Langley Park area. I was feeling something different, and this place seemed to be celebrating a grand opening of sorts. Per Johannes T.'s recommendation, I tried the seafood pasta dish, and was not disappointed. Plentiful supply of shrimp and clams, and great flavor on the sauce. I also got an order of chips and salsa to go - the chips were fairly standard, but the salsa had a very unique flavor to it. It was fresh and had plenty of cilantro, though I think it could have been improved by being a bit less watery. Still, it was fresh and I am not complaining. I will be returning. I hope this place makes it! read more

What a gem this place turned out to be. The food is well portioned (great value!) and delicious!! Try the seafood soup, i found it to be very good. I also particullarly enjoyed thr excellent pupusas and tamales from the starters list (what I have tried so far). Service in my experince has always been prompt, friendly and profession. The ticket times have also been very good with my food being promptly ready even when the resatatuant was busy with a lunch rush. The atmosphere is fun and what you would expect form a tex-mex location. Bathrooms and overall location cleanlness is excellent. Bottom line this is great tex-mex restaurant that certainly allows the south of the boarder flavors to flourish . read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would. I placed an order through UberEats and not only did they forget one of my orders, they didn't make the order correctly. read more

This place is amazing! Not only the food taste delicious but the workers work great too. My waiter came by making sure everything was fine many times. The people and spot really set the mood I totally recommend coming by if you're in the area. read more

May possibly be the worst service imaginable. My girlfriend and I had to wait over 15 minutes to even order drinks. Absolutely ridiculous. Maybe we had a bad night but I wouldn't take the risk unless you had to. Find another place and I promise you you'll have a better experience. read more

The food here is great, always been happy with whatever we order. The prices are moderate and the portions are generous. Service has always been quick when we have dined in and because they're open pretty late I often call in a carry out order when I get off work. read more

Stopped by to check out this new place. It was empty, save for a few guys having some beer in the back. But the staff was very friendly and welcoming. It's fairly sparsely decorated but the bar area is nice. They don't serve liquor (yet). The food was very fresh, from the salsa to guac. I had some veggie enchiladas. They were not the best I've ever had (sauce could have been more flavorful) but it had plenty of fresh veggies in it and overall the dish was good and priced right. I would have preferred cheese enchilada and a black bean taco bit honestly, this was good and I'm sure i'll go back. My only real gripe is that the place is almost set up as a nightclub. They have two huge speakers bolted to the wall and they had Latin radio blaring the entire time I was trying to eat, even though the place was empty. But again...nice people, fresh food, good prices. Spice up that sauce a bit and they'll have a good thing going. read more

I ordered carry out food for the coworkers and I steak platter , paraiso platter, chicken wings (spicy) and ceviche, side of guacamole and 3 horchata. The only thing we liked was the spicy chicken wings and ceviche, the rest had no taste at all even the horchata drinks were awefull , pure water and sugar and we paid almost $70.00 not worth it! read more

I spent $20.82 on a meal and tipped $3.12 which is 15%. Somehow that turned into a 20 dollar tip without my permission. I called and was hung up on when trying to have the charge reversed. Needless to say, I won't be back. read more

I seen the sign that read Tex-Mex, thats what I was expecting. NOT Tex-Mex food. Mostly central American. Service was bad! Cooks took so long with our simple plates we had ordered when we were the only table there. Do not recommend read more

The food was ok but definitely not worth $45. Our plates were the pollo la parrilla. The chicken is a good portion but the rice and vegetables looked like it came out of the frozen food section at Walmart. Wouldn't go back due to price. read more

Passing through the area and stopped for a quick lunch. Tacos al carbon, plantains, quesadilla all very very tasty.

This restaurant was an unexpected surprise in a dilapidated strip mall. The food was good tex Mex, and the portions were extremely generous. The meat in particular was good quality and generously portioned. Recommend the nachos and fajitas. read more

You need to get yourself to this new place. The food is great and the service is really friendly. We started with some beer from El Salvador that came in a quart bottle. It was ok. It was beer. Then we had some chile con queso with our chips. It was quite tasty. It had one of those flavors that seemed like there was some ingredient that you couldn't place. I guessed it was made with beer but I'm not sure. The salsa that came with it was very fresh and delicious. I could have eaten a gallon of it. I got the seafood pasta dish that was completely awesome. It was loaded with clams and mussels that were perfectly cooked along with shrimp and calamari. The shrimp were large and well cooked and the calamari was also perfectly cooked, not too chewy. The sauce brought it all together and made you literally go "mmm mmm mmm." Anyway, this thing was chocked with perfectly cooked seafood and it was totally delicious. The best part, it was only $12.95. My girlfriend had the chimichanga. It was definitely a good one as chimichangas go. She said it was the best one she's had in the DC area and she's a real chimichanga aficionado. The whole time we were there this guy was singing Spanish songs and he could actually sing. The guy had a good voice and it added to the whole atmosphere for sure. The place is new so everything is new and clean. Oh by the way, in the men's room there are pictures of Jennifer Lopez on the wall. Hey, why not? If you want killer food at great prices you need to try this place. New Edit: We've been back several times since the first time that led to the above review and would now like to amend the review. Be aware that when there is karaoke going on, the beers are $5 instead of $4 or $3.75. They do not tell you this and it's not on the menu. I think it's not cool of them to keep quiet on this. You should not be charged more than the listed price without being told that the actual price is higher. For this, I've taken a star off this review. But, the food is still great. The service is a bit slower than I'd like, though, which also contributes to the reduced starrage. read more

Lovely little restaurant. Staff is super nice and hearty! Food was great, fresh and plenty. Just a little bit to noisy but overall a good and affordable place to visit. read more

My boyfriend brought takeout from this place and it was AMAZING! He said they recommended the salmon/tilapia/shrimp dish and the grilled chicken with mushroom in this rich creamy sauce. Super delicious, not too heavy on cream. Simply delicious. Will definitely go back!! read more
