Paraiso - Mexican Restaurant Taqueria & Mezcaleria

Perfect after work stop in. Great drinks, service was fantastic and the staff were attentive

Paraiso has been a favorite since it opened. We love the food and order often, usually through UberEats, but recently found out that they dont have their full menu available on UE and that there are many more options on the regular menu. So we started ordering online directly through Paraiso. We wont be trying again. Unfortunately they use a system called ChowNow which is NOT reliable and keeps canceling orders even after confirming them. This has happened multiple times. Apparently the local management has escalated the issue to senior management who wont deal with the issue and dont care about wasting customers time and inconveniencing customers - not to mention lost business on their end. Sad development, we will miss the food.

This review is for the cafe portion of the restaurant. Given its proximity to Pennsylvania Avenue SE, the interior was a soothing space with peaceful music, comfortable seating and engaging decor. The service and dining were not, however, as enjoyable with the waitstaff being slow and inattentive. Having specifically requested that the lattes be hot, I was disappointed that they were barely warm. I also ordered two sweet pineapple empanadas. Both were not only hard, but were filled with strawberry. It took an inordinate amount of time to get help and when I asked for pineapple empanadas to replace the ones I received I was told they didnt have any. Having paid for and generously tipped for this light meal , I was annoyed by this lackluster experience. I really wanted to like eating here as much as I enjoyed the ambience.

Amazing!! Best guacamole weve ever had. Margarita was excellent. We had the short ribs, taquitos, and a variety of the tacos. Ordered a second guac. Server, Angel, was superb!! Cant say enough about this place. Dietary restrictions: Great options for gluten free and vegan.
