I have no idea how they could even serve that. It splashed on my couch. Straight liquid. And the chips were stale and seemed reheated. $37 in the garbage. 2 tinga burritos and 1 guac.

Paraiso Azteca is the definition of decent food. There's nothing amazing about it but it's not bad…read moreeither. It's right in the middle. What sets them apart if you ask me however are their range of options and affordability. It is reaaaaaaallllly hard to find Mexican restaurants or taquerias that still sell regular sized tacos for $3 nowadays. It has become the norm for places to use mini tortillas and sell them for $4 minimum while giving you an option for the regular sized tacos at an upcharge. At Paraiso Azteca, that's not the case and I really admire them for sticking with it. As y'all can see, I had their food years ago and for some reason I never ordered again even though I clearly enjoyed it. I think I might have confused them with a different spot that had terrible tacos and they somehow ended up on my "don't order" list. It wasn't until I revisited this page and saw my review that I realized I messed up. I lowkey kicked myself when I checked their online menu and saw those prices. All that time I let pass, ordering from more expensive places when I could've been a regular! I immediately placed my order and got another tostada de Tinga, and three tacos: chorizo, al pastor and bistec. Now im going to be honest. The tostada was just as I remembered. No complaints or notes. The Tinga was perfectly spiced, just the right amount of salt with a hint of smokiness from the chipotle peppers. The tacos were a great size and PACKED with meat but so much flavor was lacking, I can't lie. They weren't bad per se, but I remember them being better. The Al pastor needed salt. The bistec was a cheap cut of beef and also needed salt. The chorizo (which is usually my favorite filling) left me disappointed. I always leave it for last and while it was okay, it wasn't great. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, I will most definitely be giving them a few more tries as I want to order other tacos as well as their tamales and roasted chicken.

I cannot believe I've yet to review one of my most longtime constant neighborhood favorites!…read more Paraiso Azteca has such cozy, reliable, and happy dishes of anywhere in this very diverse neighborhood where I've lived for 9y. Despite immense competition in Mexican fare, including literally across the street from an unnamed far newer vendor, Paraiso is a neighborhood institution which always delivers no matter core Mexican fare or newer fare like breakfast (a recent trend among Hispanic places) or American stalwarts (beefsteaks, sandwiches, etc. sort of bodega-like). Their core of Mexican fare is wholesome with ingredients visibly procured with local care as their kitchen is in the open. I today got my faves, bistec tostadas which are always soft meat with perfect frying and the bistec platter which is a huge steak portion with similarly generous rice and beans (non-refried type, just pinto cooked with pork sauce) and these are so totally satisfying everytime. I realized I tend to order here when I'm ill or when the holidays aren't happy which is what's happened again, raising my mood considerably. They've been a longtime (9y to my knowledge with many more per neighbors) stay of the community. It's initially known to most for being directly across from the B/Q Kings Hwy station CI-end exit at the B2/31 bus stop, but its customer's loyalty is from heartfelt cooking and staff alike. Thank the staff always for doing what they do everyday, and it really is 7d/w.
