Paraiso Restaurant

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 a

Ordered nachos from here. Don’t waste your time and money. I usually order Nachos from La Mexicana on Fairfield Ave but I wanted to try a different place. I ordered a tray of nachos for 5 people. No sour cream, 2 small containers of salsa, no avocado, meat was scarce. Not to mention overpriced. I will continue ordering from la Mexicana which offers all this and reasonably priced.

Food was good ,but they should sent the salad on a separate container when its for delivery. The food is good and friendly staff when you eat there.
