Paraiso Azteca Brooklyn Reviews
Love love loveee this place. The flautas area always crisp to perfection. Everything is friend and it's that home feeling food that you know it's authentic and the real deal. Venue is just fine and they are always ready to cook up a fresh meal. Go here, you won't regret it.
Not sure why this place doesn’t have the 5 stars it deserves. This place is AUTHENTIC Mexican food approved by someone of Mexican descent. They do not play with the portions and spiciness, which I appreciate because many other Mexican restaurants in the area don’t make their food as spicy out of consideration for other people’s tolerance. Order the traditional heavy meals, such as chilaquiles, chile de puerco, the rotisserie chicken with rice & beans. Know that you’ll do yourself a disservice if you order something like a chicken quesadilla.... You have a whole family here making cozy, comforting, homemade Mexican food, so don’t order something basically tex-mex and expect it to be bomb. I’ve ordered several times and this place never disappoints me.
Great food , awesome. Vibes.

Great food , awesome. Vibes.
The food was great, made a pretty large order and everything was made correctly ! The delivery was on time. Ordered through Grubhub, new to the area and pretty limited options but I'm glad I found this gem. Great prices especially for the quantity of food and the quality definitely is not lacking.
The food so auntentic and delicious I love the taste of it and it makes me feel good about eating it
The food is home made. Its delicious. Simple and humble place with amazing food. Its not your deluxe restaurant but it does the job. I am a medical student who lived in the area for almost 2 years. Today I am leaving the area. It feels sad but Thank you to this restaurant for serving me all this time. Love the tacos, enchilada platter, fresh orange juice… loved it.
A few months they were good but now they are amazing everything has changed employees ,food etc I 1000% recommended for you to stop by and enjoy their food it’s so Mexican authentic realll food straight from Mexico 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽!!!

Update: Second time i ordered was the exact opposite of the previous. The delivery arrived after an hour and 15 minutes. The food wasn't hot, and the Avocado salad was something that they should be shamed that they sent it to a customer! I ordered delivery for 3 chicken Tacos and a Burrito. I am surprised from how good the food was. The Tacos was really god, remind me of the Tacos I used to eat when I lived in Cali. And the Burrito was also delicious.I have never been to the place itself, but I can tell you that the food they delivered was great.

They would have gotten a four star if they got my meal correct. I ordered 2 buffalo Wings and chicken taco and I got 2 chicken tenders with beef taco. The food was tasty but good thing I saw the beef before taking a bite because red meat makes me ill.
Tamales went from $1.25 to $2.25 and now $3 for one piece. Whole chicken went from $18 to $25, prices increased 30-50% in a year or two (feel like they’re just pulling these prices out of their 🍑) Tacos were 3 for $10 and are now 3pc for $15 (even more expensive than some spots in city) Service was a quick in and out with no wait! There’s cheaper spots with bigger portions nearby. I’ve learned my lesson to ask for the price before ordering and getting shocked with their price increases
Service is fine but food was not up to par. Ordered a steak quesadilla which ended up being Philly cheese steak without a cheese halfway wrapped in a corn tortilla. Coke was warm although it was in the fridge. Haven’t tried anything else but would avoid steak quesadilla.

Stay away 10 months ago: Its so disgusting now. I've given it many chances and again they fail consistently Present, December 2019 I gave them another shot guys. And again they disappoint. I order a chicken quesadilla. This thing was the smallest I have ever seen come from a so called Mexican restaurant. It looks good but it's small compared to other restaurants. 2. I tried cutting into the quesadilla since I was starving and if you look at the second picture provided, you can see that the bottom half of the tortilla did not cut all. I was cutting at it for 2 minutes straight and nothing. How long did you have this tortilla for it to be this hard by now? 3. As I was starving I tried to eat whatever I could and within my monster of a quesadilla I found a hair!!! Is it arm hair? Head hair? Underarm hair?? Whatever and wherever it came from, it shouldn't be there! Threw it away as soon as I discovered it. 4. The chicken tasted dry and old yet greasy. And there was almost no cheese at all. Again a picture provided for you guys to see
DISAPPOINTED!!! I’ve ordered from here via Uber Eats and never have I received the type of Torta I did today. I decided to call in for a pickup order since I was nearby and they gave me the worst torta EVER!!! They put rotten avocados in my torta and the chicken was rubbery completely inedible. They lost a customer. Never ordering from here again!

Unreliable and rude. Last time i ordered, they didnt listen to order and follow simple directions. This time I ordered, they never delivered even after 4 hours and calling them several times. they stated food was on way which never was and then hung up on me several times the last few times I called. Why not he honest. im not sure why i even believed them and waited. if people are lying, i wouldnt trust them to care for food. This establishment had been closed last year due to rats and needs to stay closed. I thought they cleaned up, but I was wrong. I dont say word never, but never will I order from this place.
DO NOT GO HERE ! They have a bad rating for a reason and now I know why... I ordered from here today and they messed up my order in 5 different ways. Told them I wanted 4 tacos but only got 3 and charged me for 4, told them I only have a $50 bill and the delivery guy didn’t bring change with him,asked the delivery guy for a receipt but he said he didn’t have one for me, it took them over an hour to bring my food 4 blocks away to where I live and the food was disgusting I tossed it in the garbage. They really are a special type of st*pid here. I will never go here again and TRUST ME you shouldn’t either!
They have messed up my uber eats order so many times. Today missing my can of soda and another order. That's it. Don't go here. Food is cheap but doesn't mean you will receive it.
