Fonda Mexicana El Paraiso

Delicious food and prompt service--and some of the best Mexican lamb dishes in town, hands down. There's a slight issue that their standard pico de gallo includes chopped jalapenos, which can be an unexpected shock to anyone who has problems with spicy stuff (e.g. several I know, though not me).No dine-in area, so food is only available to go; there's an area with seating to wait for it, though, so that's fine.

No frills, no nonsense, authentic Mexican take out only place where Spanish is the language of choice, but you will have no problems ordering and being understood if your skills were from a high school class many moons ago like mine. Food was good, as it was fresh and made to order, and the included sauce was extra spicy just how I like it. Prices were a little higher than you might expect, but not too outrageous.Wouldn't go out of my way to visit again, but would probably swing by if I happened to be in the area, as it is definitely a solid choice if you are looking for authentic Mexican without all the bells and whistles.

This place serves authentic tacos. The prices are great! I ordered 3 chicken tacos with rice & beans. I can't remember the name of the sauces they gave me but they were good and spicy! The green sauce was my favorite. It's a very small restaurant with no seating but that's quite alright with me! We took our food to go and enjoyed it in the car. I wasn't a huge fan of the rice & beans so next time I'll order the solo tacos. Overall, great experience. The staff was friendly & our food was done pretty quickly.

Fonda Mexicana how I love you . You're definitely not sexy but girl you're the bomb dot com! You're tasty & good & always on point and everything about that is a five star to me ! Food so good I ate it and forgot to get pics !!!! Keep on keeping on ! You're five star in my book !

Barbacoa tacos were delicious. It's a small place, no place to sit down and eat. People inside were friendly and courteous.

Great authentic Mexican food with great prices!! I would prefer Mexican food from here than any of the fancy Mexican restaurants in Charlotte!

Some of the best authentic Mexican I have ever had. Pollo Carnitas and Choirzo tacos on homemade tortilla with rice and beans. Highly recommend this place for a quick bite to eat

The taco lunch special is must order. The tacos were really good complimented with a side of beans and rice for only $11.99.

This place offers unbelievable food at an affordable price. I've done the tacos, burrito and nachos and everything is delicious! They only do take out but the service is fast and it's staffed by the sweetest people! If you're wanting authentic, delicious Mexican at an affordable price & served fast this is the place!

Milanesas were dry. Over cooked other items were ok. Not what I was expecting. Flautas were good. I'll stick with Maryland authentic Mexican tacos
