No shrinkflation happening here, folks. The burrito was the size of my calf. Think I need to go on a 10-mile hike next time to properly make a dent. Good service, good food, good drinks. This one is worth going out of the way for.

We had a team event here. They had a private space for us that was beautiful! When we walked in, we were offered a fresh tortilla, which was amazing!! They helped us get set up to play a video on their TV and kept a server ready by the door the entire time. They handled our very large group with ease! Drink orders were taken and brought back quickly. The food wait time was pretty short, especially considering the size of our group and the rest of the restaurant having a decent amount of people eating as well. Overall, everything was wonderful!

We wanted someplace different for appetizers. Found it at El Paraiso on Lake Tye. They have great patio seating overlooking the lake. Appetizers were delicious and a great deal during happy hour.

We dined here for lunch following my son’s epic basketball win (51-8 so proud!)! Anyway, delicious food, great service, and a lovely view...even in the rain! The restaurant sits right against Lake Tye, so you can bask in the calm ambiance of the lake while you dine in some delicious Mexican cuisine! Our family enjoyed the chicken quesadilla, chicken macho burrito, and chicken taco salad. My youngest, enjoyed a simple lunch of rice and beans...he cleaned his plate I might add, which doesn’t happen often! Great food, great service, and great location...what more could you possibly want? Go check it out!

El Paraiso is a family owned and operated group of restaurants located in the Snohomish County area. My wife and I have eaten at many, if not most, of the Mexican restaurants in the area and none compare to the menu choices, food and beverage quality and the staff friendliness at El Paraiso. Our favorite location is in Monroe overlooking Lake Tye. Their Happy Hour is everyday, 3:00 PM. - 6:00PM and 9:00PM to close and have discounted food and bar drinks during that time in the bar. Our favorite dinner is Carne Asada. We have tried many of their other dishes and have never been disappointed. They have a great bar with a variety of awesome margaritas and plenty of other tasty beverages. They offer gluten free meals and have plenty of free parking in the large shared parking lot. If you haven't tried it, you won't be disappointed!
