El Paraiso Mexican Grill - Cedar Rapids

We ordered from the lunch menu today and I was pleased to find that we could do so until 3:00 PM. The food was excellent; we had the crab enchiladas and I would definitely order them again. The service was outstanding as well.

I went in a large group and got several marg towers. The place was fun. I ordered tacos and they were fantastic. It did take a decent amount of time to get our food though. All in all I had a good time and the food and drinks were good.

Went for lunch with 2 boys and my sister. She had a craving for Mexican and she hadn't been there in awhile. It was about $14 per person minimum. Went on Saturday so no lunch specials... I had the 5 enchiladas burger cheese chicken and beef tips. The beef tips were good. They're marinated in tomato and onion sauce. One son had the chimichangas. We were almost the first group there for lunch. Quiet. too... quiet. anyway last time I'd been there the overhead music was so loud I could hardly hear my wife. So it was different this time. Good. About 15 minutes after we got there someone turned on the music. Yep it was loud. Maybe they turned it down later maybe my hearing is better now but I could later hear my family talking. I liked my enchiladas. Thought I'd take some home for leftovers by my stomach said otherwise so those are gone. Kids took leftovers home. Ok place. Not my favorite but ok.

I tried Mexican food for the first time, and it was delightful! I had the chicken quesadilla with fried rice, which was great, but the steak quesadilla was truly muy delicioso! The queso cheese was also very good.

The food here is fantastic, and the staff is wonderful too. Jessica was our waitress, and I can't say enough good things about her. I will definitely be returning. This was my first visit, and I loved it!
