Cute little hole in the wall off the beaten path. The service is friendly and efficient. I had the chile rellenos, which were alright, but somewhat bland. The house salsa was great and it made a nice topping on the enchiladas. Not the best Mexican I've ever had but certainly reasonable, especially for the price. Despite being a bit of a dive, the restaurant was clean and cute inside. read more

Yummy Mexican food, took my mom here for lunch and the enchiladas blew me away!!! Mom had a big chimmicunga, and I finished with a strawberry margarita, everything was perfect and fast, well worth trying. read more

I ate here a couple years ago and remember the experience being good so when we were looking for a lunch spot today we gave it another try. That was a mistake. Food is way over priced for how mediocre it was; dry rice, over cooked steak, flavorless chicken. Just not great. What really bummed us out was the bad service. I asked for water and didn't get it till 10 minutes later when I asked again. My kids asked for pinto beans and still got refried. I had fajitas and when our food was delivered instead of coming back quickly with the tortillas the server stopped to take another tables order first. We were never asked how we were doing after our food was delivered but we did get a water refill. $40 tab for two entrees, a kids meal and pick de Gallo was so not worth it for bland food and bad service. We won't be going back. read more

Good food. Good people. It's good place to eat and I've been there many times. The owner, Benjamin, has wowed me with an array of spectacular close up magic tricks. read more

BEST MEXICAN RESTAURANT IN WA! My favorite fresh mexican-american food since 1992. The owners and staff are the friendliest not faking it. read more

Picked up dinner to go from Paraiso in Smokey point. Dinner was well packed and hot. Tamale was delicious, masa was tender and flavorful. Chili relleno was cheesy and tasty. I also got a strawberry margarita to go, my first time getting one of their drinks as I am usually the DD. Oh so yummy, lots of strawberry flavor without being too sweet and a nice alcoholic kick with out being too harsh. read more

Found place by chances. I had there spinach enchiladas. It was really good and my friends enjoyed there food to. Not a nosy place, Great staff and it feel nice here. So check it out when you can. read more

A taste of Mexico! great flavor! Reasonably priced! Friendly customer service! Thank you!

Best priced Mexican Restaurant in town. We've been coming here for years. Love it! They have very good food and they are very fast.

Fast friendly service. Food came out quickly and yummy. The bar has a great atmosphere. No problems! The bartender, Eduardo is fantastic! Will definitely come back and see him again soon. read more

First time here today and had the Molcajete and I thought it was great. The right amount of spice and it has pinto beans in it which was a new twist for me. read more

Our favorite! Deluxe burrito with steak is amazing. Drinks are good and Friendly service!

Great salsa and homemade hot sauce, hence the 2 stars. The food was not good at all. I got the veggie sampler. I wouldn't eat here again.

Decided not to cook tonight , so I thought I'll stop and order take out from Parisio , been coming there since I moved up here 16 years ago and I love it ! Drove 2 exits past the other 18 Mexican restaurants and went into the bar, the man who took my margarita order was great , think he's the owner ..friendly guy . I got a wonderful drink very fast , he took my order for food to go , I got my card out ready to go home and enjoy !! So I get my food dropped off about 15 minutes later by a woman , no biggie thought ok I will get my bill soon ... Nope ! Took a good 20 more minutes to get it after the guy next to me told the rude ( not what I really wanna say ! ) bartender who seemed so pissed she had to come out and take orders ( as if ! ) She brings me the bill I see its 24.00 and change.. ok here's my card , I kid you not she like grabbed the card and bill and dumped the tray over and dropped the peppermint candies on the table ! It was so rude !! She comes back and the bill went up a dollar ?? Really ??? They charged me a dollar for using my debit card !! Ok if you can't handle bank fees then don't be in the restaurant business ... No one pays cash anymore !! And your prices are high enough I'm sure you can swallow the bank fee .. Pathetic Well rude bartender I hope you enjoyed your tip !! Because that comment was it read more

This place was ok. We went there because of a coupon we got in the mail. We will look elsewhere for a Mexican restraunt we will frequent.

Paraiso has the best American style Mexican food in the Marysville/ Smokey Point area. It has a flair that many other American style Mexican joints don't offer. The food is reasonably priced, and the staff seem to enjoy what they are doing. The drinks are cheap, and the small bar is lively. They are also family friendly. read more

Good food, prices weren't bad, but when a restaurant charges you to use a credit card that is pretty low!! claim they do it to keep prices down!! Really?? The prices are ok, but not that good. read more

We always go to this place when visit our family in Arlington. It's got great food and great service.

I ordered some food to go and when I picked it up it was repeated back to me correctly but when I got it home it was wrong. This has happened many times. I don't know that I will be back. read more

We had lunch here while coming back from the Tulip Festival in the Skagit Valley. This is on the way to Seattle from Skagit valley on I5 South Exit 206. The restaurant felt warm. They serve you complimentary tortilla chips with salsa. We ordered guacamole. Wow! They made the guacamole fresh right in front of us!! It tasted amazing. Definitely recommend ordering one. As for the entrees, they were huge portions, the food was really good. Great place for vegetarians. We had a vegetarian burrito, spinach enchilada and vegetarian sampler. The burrito had lots of vegetables unlike a fast food burrito. The service was very good. Prices were very reasonable ($11-$13 typically) Overall, very happy with the place. Will surely come back when we go to Tulalip or any of those areas. read more

This a do again. Everything we ate and drank was the best. When I asked if they could add items to my order his response was "this is a Mexican restaurant we will fix it the way you want it" Really a great find!!!! read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant. The food is somewhat spicy but not too bad. The portions are great. I have tried just about the whole menu and have not found anything I didn't like. The wait staff is fast and efficient. Very rarely do I have to wait long for a table. It is worth the wait. read more

Not so good. Poor service. Food was not very good. Servers came out of the kitchen yelling "hot plate...hot plate"...and pushing through people waiting to pay the cashier. Very rude. Surcharge of 3.7% to pay with a credit or debit card " to keep prices down". The prices weren't any better than other Mexican restaurants in the area. I won't go back. read more

I can say now, after three mexican restaurants later, this is my favorite, one in my hometown I like better but Ohio is too far to go for food! I have never had a bad meal here, the drinks are awesome, the service is better than the other two. The food is excellent, service, pretty good, the cost is in line with the others as well. WE will absolutely eat here again. read more

Guess it must have been a bad day or something. I saw great photos on their web site very delicious looking, nothing like the meal we were served. I read past reviews and looked forward to a great dinner of Mexican delights, but alas, was a bit disappointed. Pico de gallo looked bad, like it had been sitting in open heat for long time, very watery and mushy tomatoes, could not taste cilantro or onion. Tri-fajita of steak, chicken & shrimp mediocre. Steak over cooked & tough, chicken very dry as if cooked more than once, and shrimp, well can't really tell as there were only 3 -- I guess that's where the tri comes in. Refried beans was no Beans just the bean paste -- I realize Refried beans does not mean beans but has to have some beans along with the paste or patee, hence the name. It actually looked like it was poured from one of those very cheap cans of Refried beans that is all ground up pinto beans. The rice very dry -- Perhaps cook was gone home sick or something and they had to make due. We will give it another go in a few weeks just in case this was a fluke. But we love Mexican cooking so if it's the same as this time that'll be the last. read more

Tried to take my wife out to dinner, and was severely disappointed. Service was terrible. Asked for more chips and salsa, all that happened was taking away the dishes. My wife's water was empty and I moved it to the edge of the table and no less than 4 staff walked by and did nothing. One guy even made eye contact with my wife, looked at the empty glass, and just kept right on walking. The restaurant wasn't even half full so there is no excuse. Had to wait about 10 minutes after we were done eating to even see somebody to ask for our check. Don't waste your money, go somewhere where the staff actually care about the customer experience and are at least a little bit aware. read more

I like this place, off the beaten path and everything is really good and really well done. A family type place with house made fare, it's worth your time to treat yourself to a visit read more

I have been coming here for years with my family. Food is always good and huge amounts to take home. They give you pico de gallo and salsa for starters which I love. chile relleno is delicious and the fajitas are too! Oh and the margaritas are really yummy! Definitely a good Mexican place to check out, way better than La Hacienda! read more

Paraiso has a solid following. Not sure if it is the bar, because I don't think that it is for the food particularly. It's not bad food, but it is really nothing to write home about. La Hacienda is much better, with better service, bigger portions and better flavor. But I wish Paraiso well. I'm glad to see that they can be successful in that location. Something works well for them. I just can't figure out what it is! read more

This is a place my family eats on a regular basis. Food is just okay and service is generally acceptable... After tonight I will not be returning. We were there to celebrate my sisters 16th birthday and it is extremely unacceptable for the staff to continue to over serve a table of adults who were pissing off the entire dining room. There were children and family's trying to enjoy their time and talk and ease into their weekends. Instead we got to listen to people screaming about dick and fingering pussy and talking like sailors. NOT OKAY. Needless to say that we walked out without celebrating because the staff couldn't handle the complaints of the other customers (at least 2 other people talked to the staff) and ask one group of individuals to have some decency. Keep it in the bar next time. read more

We have tried all the other mexican places in the area, and none of them are like this one. The food is good, the service is pretty good. Sometimes when it gets really busy they get a bit behind, but that's the resteraunt buis... The magic guy on friday nights is a great touch for kids, my son loves it, that he comes to the table and gives a new trick each time, we've been there a few times in the year we've lived up here. read more

Went here on a whim with a friend and the food was pretty good, the waitress was attentive and I didn't have to ask for water refills.

Have eaten here a number of times, always friendly, prompt service and the food is always excellent.

Absolutely delicious! Much better than your run of the mill Mexican restaurants. Knew it was going to be good when the parking lot was completely full and there were few empty tables. read more

So so SO good. Food was tasty and perfectly cooked. The staff gave us A+ service and made great recommendations. The house hot sauce was the perfect amount of hot and flavor. I'd recommend getting the tacos. I didn't get them, but my friend did, I had major menu fomo. read more

Delicious! I love that there are 3 awesome sauces to dip your chips in. We ordered the deluxe burrito and suizas. Both were great portions and the price was great! The kids meals were also the lowest price I've seen in town! Definitely recommend! read more

We love this hidden gem of a Mexican restaurant. We have been going here for many years and it is always a great place to eat. Food and service are always great. read more

Delish! This place is near my work and is quick enough that I can get in and out within my hour lunch. The service has been hit and miss the few times I've been there but the food has been great. I also love their pico! read more

The overall experience is okay if you are in the mood for some enchiladas or fajitas. However when I went there was a magician there and he totally weirded me out. The service was okay; as I did sit without water for a bit. Not sure how I feel about a second visit but the food was your average food. read more

Tonight we had a very pleasant experience. The restaurant is clean and decorated nicely. The employees all had smiles on and were busy. We were promptly greeted by a friendly hostess. We were immediately served chips, salsa and pico de gallo which were tasty and all were fresh. The iced tea was good and flavorful. The prawn fajitas were delicious. The serving was way more than I could eat by myself. The corn tortillas were fresh and good. The beans and rice were very good. The flan was very tasty. Manuela was our lady and she was delightful, efficient and attentive. I feel like the food was authentic Mexican food. I am accustomed to Mexican food in Southern California and this is as close as I can get. We will be back......again and again. read more
