El Paraiso Restaurants & Bakery

It's tucked in a little shopping center that I've always passed by and didn't know existed!The Maryland crab pupusa has me HOOKED. There's lump crab meat and it's not skimpy either-- it's a good amount. I also had the steak tacos and they were AMAZING. Perfect ratio of onions w/ cilantro and steak. The steak was juicy and not chewy. They have a lot of pastries that I didn't get to try but I will definitely be back.The service was quick ! They were attentive to my needs and very welcoming and the ambiance had a homey vibe where you'd get a great cooked meal--which I did!

Very good food and pretty light on the pockets. Wonderful ambiance and customer serviced. Ordered the following:Lomo saltado: 10/10 fríes and steak were seasoned well. grilled veggies compliment.Shrimp enchiladas: 8/10 nice flavor, sides were goodGuacamole dip: 8.5/10 I wish chips were on the sidePupusa de queso: AMAZING! 10/102 tamales de pollo: pass

The food was made to order which was amazing. The guy at the register was very helpful and helping me decide on what to pick. This is a very small restaurant, but you do have the option to sit inside and eat if you choose to. I love the fact that they have a bakery as well I got a slice or I should say a chunk of cake and it was only $3.50. I was told it is a poundcake and yes, it is and I loved every part of it so much that I couldn't eat all of it at once. I definitely will be back to try the other items. This is definitely a hidden gem.

Very cute small family owned restaurant in Reisterstown/Owings Mills Area. Authentic and very tasty. Keep in mind these were lunch portions and it was plenty of food. The service was great, suggested other items to try. We also had the tres leche cake. I don't have a photo of it, but it tasted delightful! . I'm looking forward to returning and trying other menu options!

FOOD: fresh food hands down but in all honesty lacked favor which was surprising as far as the Pupusa's i suggest the add more crab and seasonings Service: service alone will make me come back here when I say treat you like royalty amazing service Ambiance: clean

Stop here with a friend for lunch. We had crab Papua. It was different . It reminded you of crab inside of a pancake. I didn't care for the sale that went with it. I would definitely order it again. The cake as well was delicious.The service was a little delayed. It was a small place.

I found this place when I took a walk to the Cherry shopping center. I saw a couple enjoying a meal and decided to give it a try. My Spanish sucks but I could understand the menu well enough to order. I always get the chicken nachos with a tamarind juice. That juice is better than kool aid with extra sugar! I've been on a diet but my next cheat day will have to be spent here . Service is fast depending on how busy they are and the staff is always professional. This is a quaint place with minimal decor and TV. I usually see Latino men coming for a meal alone after work . Empty plates and happy faces here. Hope this helps.

I'm ashamed it's taken me at least 10 years to try out this restaurant. That's exactly how long it's been since we moved to the area, and I've driven past it at least 100 times to go to other stores within the same shopping plaza. After a recent review from a local food influencer, we decided to give it a try. When I tell you I'm on day 3 of leftovers....they give very nice portion sizes. I probably ordered too much food but we wanted to try a lot of things. We ordered chicken fajitas, multiple papusas, chimichanga, chips and salsa - all delicious. My husband is not a big fan of beans, so he was disappointed to see that they were beans in the chimichanga. He felt like that wasn't clear from the food description, but still enjoyed it. The pupusa's were the first thing I ate. I've never had one before and I enjoyed a cheese pupusa with the pickled slaw. I'm hearing good things about the crab pupusa so I will be back to try it. Definitely a neighborhood gem that I slept on. This is your sign to try that restaurant you've passed a million times because it just might be your next fave spot.

Delicious! Chicken, steak, seafood, you just can't go wrong! The brick and mortar location might look like a quick carry-out, but this is a made from scratch place. It's well worth the wait time!

Baltimore born and raised who spent the last few years in LA and was absolutely floored after trying the Crab Pupusa. Seriously the best thing I've had since moving back and amazing customer service!!
