Paraiso Mexican Taqueria Mezcaleria

Gosh we love this place ? easily our favorite restaurant in Capitol Hill and probably all of DC. It?s upscale but in a foodie (not pretentious) way. Everything is always beautifully presented whether you get street tacos guac or tuna hurache seabass. The restaurant itself is beautifully designed and always has a great vibe and while the food drink is outstanding, thebest part is the service. Everyone treats us like family and genuinely seems to care about making people feel welcome andgetting the details right. Especially our favorite server Maria, who?s probably the best server we?ve had at anyrestaurant. Can?t recommend this place enough!

We had dinner here during a visit to DC. I love me a good margarita and Mexican food and Paraiso was perfect! Everything was tasty and the service was great. The guacamole could?ve been a little bigger for $14 but that?s ok. The Diablo margarita wasdelicious. We got the tres leches for dessert, huge piece but not as moist. Overall great dinner and will come again!

I went to Paraiso for my good friend Jake birthday. The service was awesome. Jake seemed to enjoy it which was great. The energy is elegant as well as the decor. I enjoyed my experience. The food was great tapas style portions.

Love this place and food. Sat outside on a beautiful day and had tacos and a few drinks. The tacos were perfect!!! Birria tacos and then taco trio (chicken, carne asada, and wild cod) ????????; Guacamole trio (Salsa macha mango tomatillo tradicional) -I mean the food was incredible. Then we get to dessert, maybe just not my cup of tea but I was hoping for freshly made; thedessert tasted premade out of a refrigerator. Everything else perfect.

I visited this gem in the middle of the day with some coworkers for unch. It did not disappoint! The restaurant is beautiful and made me feel like I was visiting some place outside of DC. The staff was incredibly kind and efficient! And the lunch special isa steal! I order 3 tacos (cod, shrimp, and chicken). They were all delicious. I also had a kale salad which was equallydelicious! I would definitely visit again.
