Was recently in the neighborhood and decided to pop in and grab a (very) late lunch/early dinner and was very pleasantly surprised by this little gem!
First of all, the inside was very neat and clean - well organized and bright and happy.
The service was excellent - prompt, friendly, and helpful.
The chips and nice a crunchy, you can tell they’re made in house. The salsa is fresh and just spicy enough - both excellent.
I had the shredded chicken flauta plate. Same goes for flautas - totally homemade and piping hot from the fryer. Beans and rice were also very tasty. One minor place for improvement - rice and beans could have been a bit warmer.
I will absolutely be back - can’t wait to try more menu items.
I'm working on a remodel project in the are and needed some lunch. Found this place and saw the ratings were good. I stopped and had tacos all carbon, they were delicious. My colleague had a shrimp taco and chicken taquetos. Man the service and food was really good we came back the next day for lunch again. That will be my next review.
I live down the street and love, love, loveeeee El Paraiso. The owners are super sweet. Inside is clean, no sticky tables or floors, and no weird smells. 🌮
Breakfast is served all day! Great barbacoa and I love their flour tortillas. Definitely homemade with love! If you get breakfast tacos to go, they are packaged in one container rather than individually wrapped in foil.
One thing I do wish is that they offered pancakes for breakfast, and papas fritas & chicken tenders for children that won’t eat Mexican food. 🥲
What a great find! Delicious place to get Mexican food. They even have Mexican Sopes which I have been struggling to find a place that has them! We will definitely be back here. The morning coffee is a great way to kick off Sunday morning.
Quaint little Mexican place that has been around since 1978 and moved from the Montrose area. Good food for a good price.
Tex Mex in Montose. No lunch specials but everything is fast and reasonable. Reasonable price apprx $10 and they subed in a little salad in place of rice. Entomatatos are great ( beef, chicken or white cheese {my choice}). Hadn't had them since Felix's on Westheimer closed, just a few blocks away. Parking is limited but have never had a problen finding a place. They have some unusual art work on the wall, some of it is for sale. Will return.

It was so good, we came back. Live just down the street. Probably the best cheese enchilada I've had in 20 yrs. Just perfect, with the chili gravy and homemade rice. You can't beat it!!!! guacamole is out-of-this-world as well.
First time here. Reasonably priced. Beans and rice are great. chips and salsa great. Love it that the waiter speaks English. Will be back!!!
Excellent as always. The food is just as good as it was at their previous location on Fairview.
Tried this place today since our normal Mexican breakfast place is closed Sundays. YUM. Two tacos + hot coffee done right. Love the fresh tomato salsa. Super tasty and a perfect addition to the breakfast tacos. Not sure why another review said it was so spicy? Didn’t strike me as anything but yummy. Will go back.
This is one of the most authentic Mexican food restaurants in Houston. The staff is amazing and again the food is crazy good.
