El Paraiso Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Plainfield

I come here often with my husband and my adult children. We enjoy coming in and supporting a family ran business. The food is great and it always tastes the same which is, for me, important. A lot of restaurants since Covid, have changed out their ingredients for cheaper ones and sacrificed taste to save money. This is not the case at this restaurant. The staff is friendly and attentive and we have a great experience every time. They take cash or debit/credit cards. There is also an option if you pay with debit/credit where you can add the tip to the bill so you don't have to leave a cash tip if you don't carry cash on you. The atmosphere is great, they have a few TVs on the walls so you can watch TV while you eat. It is family friendly so you can bring your younger kids in with you. They do sell adult beverages. My husband generally gets a corona and I usually get a tropical margarita. I only eat either the tacos carne asada (steak) with corn tortillas, or their chipotle burrito. My husband loves their Colorado burrito. Its very spicy and he likes his hot peppers. My son either goes for the tacos carne asada with corn tortillas or shrimp fajitas. If you have a shellfish intolerance or allergy they do serve shellfish, but I have not had any issues with cross contamination and luckily not had an allergic reaction. My daughter usually goes for their chicken and white queso... I forget the actual name of it, forgive me. She loves it and orders it every time we come in. The prices are affordable and if you're on a tight budget you're paying about the same as you would for a meal at certain unnamed burger places... But with way more food, that tastes way better than the processed meat you get at a fast food burger joint, and with better ambiance than the local fastfood places. Its a great place for celebrations, get togethers, dates etc. I am not certain but I think they might do take out catering. I will ask and edit my post next time I go in to reflect a yes or no on that. My husband and I want to renew our vows and are actually wanting to order from them for our reception when we do our renewal of vows. You should definitely check them out! Try their chorizo con queso as a side to go with your tortilla chips. Its amazing! ❤ this place and glad to have found them. They're located in Plainfield Indiana and are not far from Five and Below. If you get a chance to come in and see them, do so. You won't be...

Not a good experience. First I ordered taco salad and it was fine but the beef has no flavor. not horrible just no flavor. But my boyfriend was treated very rudely. First they brought him the wrong order when he told them that the order was wrong they proceeded to tell him that what he ordered. Even though there was 2 of us that heard what he ordered. After a little disagreement they brought out what he wanted. Then to top it off the meat tasted spoiled. when he tried to tell them quietly so not to let others hear. The man that claimed to be the owner proceeded to ask him what his problem was. He tried to tell him that he just wanted him to know about the meat and that he would eat around it. but the owner got very angry and asked us to leave or the police would be called. I've never seen someone get so angry when someone is talking calmly which took alot to do when someone is being very rude to you. It was diffently A bad experience. We will...

I used to love this place. And their queso is amazing. But, their quality of service keeps changing. I usually just walk in and order queso to go. In the takeout bag I'm given the queso, chips, and salsa (usually). However, I order the same thing each time, but the price I'm charged is different each time, and what I receive is also different each time. One time I got a decent sized queso container, a decent sized salsa container, and chips. The next time I get a small queso sized container, an even smaller salsa container (think condiment container size), and chips. And then the most recent time I received a queso container not even remotely filled to the top, chips, and no salsa. I filed a complaint about the fill level, but never received a response. The pictured queso is what I received the last time, straight out of the bag (with lid...
