Paraiso Restaurant — Restaurant in Bridgeport

Wow.... how have I never been here before. I pass it all the time. I have to say, from the outside, it's not very inviting. Maybe they could use more windows so you can tell of they are open or not. I was going to Madison deli on the street, but decided to pop inside Paraiso instead. So glad! Ordered a shrimp quesadilla, not in the menu, but most places I've found are accommodating. I got the meal, which comes with rice and beans. I was gonna get a side of guacamole, but at $7, it was too rich for my blood. Figured I'd just enjoy what came with the meal. The inside is clean, quiet, you're not right on top of the next table. I was getting mine to go, but they are offering dining in. My plate came to 17.50. Got home. Cracked it open. A very decent portion. Heavy! I like that when I spend a lot! The quesadilla was on. The. Money! Fresh, ample shrimp. Gooey cheese. The rice and beans was tasty and fresh! Perfect texture of beans. And a fresh salad on the side with a sliced avocado. I was disappointed there was no guacamole, or even sour cream. Luckily I had my own dollop of daisy to add but I'll sadly have to try the guac another day. Either way im writing this F-U-L-L....

I will never travel to Mexico ever again in my life because real delicious outstanding Mexican food is right here at PARAISO 1026 Madison ave. Bpt. I give 5 stars because PARAISO delivers superb food, wonderful servers and kitchen staff, extremely clean from floor to ceiling, comfortable Mexican atmosphere and fantastic prices!!!! Parking can be a problem but its worth parking a block or several blocks away. If you have never been to Mexico i suggest an experience inside this restaurant will give you a taste. The waitresses are very friendly, knowledgeable, efficient and like most Latinas adorable! I am looking forward to my next visit. Highly...

I used to love this place years ago, and was a frequent customer. But as of recently, they stopped caring about the quality of the food. I ordered a whole tray of nachos 3 weeks ago, and they were completely stale. When we called they did not do anything about it. I RECENTLY(a day ago) ordered take out, and it was completely cold! We only live a few minutes from there! Not only that but the bread to the torta was hard and they gave us grilled chicken instead of breaded chicken like i asked! I hope they continue to fix these problems as it was once a good...
