We decided to try this place that I have driven past countless times after reading such favorable reviews. All I can say is thank you for posting these reviews because I would never have discovered this great little local joint. We had lunch on a weekday and the service and atmosphere were both wonderful. The food however was better than wonderful. Super fresh and simply delicious, not to mention a great deal. Do yourself a favor and check out El Paraiso for great food and friendly and prompt service.
