Mi Paraiso Restaurant — Restaurant in Laredo

Need a meal that will bust you at the seams.....this is your place. I ordered the Chicken Cordon Blue which comes with your choice of mushroom or Chipotle sauce. It also comes with toast, mashed potatoes, corn and green noodles. Food coma! If your looking for atmosphere....this is not your place.

The service was excellent with the exception of a small language barrier since I only understand a little bit of Spanish and speak even less. But luckily the server knew what I was saying. Also the air conditioner could use a little work. But will I go back? Of...

Quick homemade meals are delicious. I got the special "pechuga rellena" with two delicious creamy sauces, Chipotle and Poblano. The plate was served with big portions of mashed potatoes, corn, and Poblano spaghetti. They have aguas frescas, the pineapple was deliciously refreshing balance, not too sweet not too sour.
