Taqueria El Paraiso is amazing and takes back to our local favorites back in LA. The family that owns the restaurant are friendly and welcoming. The food is absolutely as authentic as you can get.

The food was fast to come out. One draw back, our table was near the speakers and the music, albeit fun and festive, was pretty loud. Made conversation more difficult. We would go back!

Came here when we stopped in Wilkes Barre enroute to our home in upstate New York. The decor is…read moregreat. You feel as though you are walking into a party. The Staff was warm and welcoming. I ordered a Mango Mohito - it was delicious. We also ordered a Guacamole for the table. A woman came out with the avocado's and all the ingredients and made fresh Guac to order for us. That was outstanding. The ubiquitous chips and soupy salsa on the table was just OK - though we did snack on it endlessly. Still, it didn't have texture, tang nor taste really. Just a somewhat soupy sauce. I ordered the taco salad with chicken and my husband had dual burritos with refried beans and rice. They were good entrees. They filled us up. The portions were generous. Were they the best Mexican food we've ever had? Not really, but it was good food and we enjoyed our meals. We'd go back to El Rey Azteca again if we found ourselves in Wilkes Barre. You will enjoy a meal there. (PS Another customer the evening we were there was raving about their Cuban sandwiches - we didn't try those. You might if you stop in there.)

Not drying them says, hey, get your food and go, we don't care. It's no fun trying to add slaw from a ziplock bag, in the car. Someone said cash only, I paid in cash. I didn't see a sign, you may want to add that. The pupusas were good, kind of bland, once I added the included slaw for crunch and hot sauce for flavor, it really came together. Too bad I had to do this on my lap. Lastly, the tamarind juice was chunky. I wasn't expecting that and didn't care for it. Just personal preference. I'd love to see a weekly special flavor!

Skipped breakfast so I was halfway looking for a brunchy option when I stumbled into El Tikal…read more With a quality lunch special section, plus your everyday Mexican favorites and a great variety of meat, seafood and veggie dishes, I had a hard time deciding. I'm usually a combo order kind of guy, but I had to throw together my own little lunch variety pack, add Santa Fe (breakfast) burrito. Plantains always hit for me, but these were extra caramelized and gooey so I had to portion them out between the beginning and end of the meal. The mole sauce on the chili relleno was smokey and not as spicy, but really well-balanced. The tamale with red sauce seemed less flavorful than the other dishes, but I'm no tamale expert and I've been hanging out with a lot of Italians recently. The Santa Fe burrito was out of this world: the eggs, nice and crumbly with tons of seasoning and flavor, the cheese-covered chorizo oozing into each bite. I need this again, and I'm sure there's so many other incredible things on the menu to explore, but this is truly a hearty and unique item worth coming back for.

I ordered the birria fries, chips and queso and churros. The queso was really good with their thin…read moreand crispy chips and the churros were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! They come with caramel sauce, yummm! Their fries were just okay to me. The reason I ordered them is because I've heard good things about them. But the reason I love birria has alot to do with the super tasty consumme that comes with it. The fries had a layer of queso on the bottom and birria, Cilantro and onion on the top. I thought the meat lacked some flavor and it was definitely missing the juiciness of the consomme. This menu item was one and done for me.
