El Paraiso Lumbre Y Mar

Didn't know this place existed till I drove by yesterday and it peaked my interest. I came in around 4:45 on a Wednesday with no one else here yet, ordered five tacos (two carnitas and 3 of their special "Burria" tacos that are not on the menu) and a side of rice and beans for my wife and I to share. The staff seemed fairly nice and helpful, although you could tell they were a little stressed. It took about 25 minutes to get our to-go order ready, which seemed like a pretty long wait given I was one of only two parties there and didn't order much food. To be fair, I was already starving so that made it feel longer. We ordered the tacos Mexican style (comes on a corn tortilla, with onions and cilantro) because a) that sounded delicious and b) I can't eat cheese/dairy and that is what comes on the other option, the American style of taco. It came out to be more expensive than I thought it was so I checked the bill and sure enough, the special tacos were almost double the price of a normal taco, which was not told to me or written down anywhere. And when we finally got the tacos, the Burria tacos were covered in cheese. Now I can't eat any of those plus I paid more than I wanted to for them. I told the lady working at the counter that I didn't want cheese (that's why I ordered them Mexican style) and I thought there might have been a mistake. She told me "sorry that's just the way they're made." All in all the food was very tasty (the two carnitas tacos that I could eat were great and my wife said the special tacos were very tasty although pretty heavy) and I like that it's locally owned and operated, but bummed at the poor communication.

Still great service, adding more seafood to the menu, but still limited veggie options. Definitely worth a visit. Pozole and Menudo are available on the weekends, if that's your thing.

Tacos were delicious. I think the only draw back is they want your credit card number over the phone when placing an order.

We will be back!! My husband and I stopped here on a Sunday and we were happy we did. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. Our server was very pleasant and very attentive. We were given complimentary chips and salsa. The chips are homemade, light, crisp and very good. The salsa had good flavor. We ordered a side of guacamole which had nice chunks of avocado, onions, tomatoes, it could have been a bit creamier, but still pretty good. We ordered the 3 ground beef tacos with lettuce, tomato and cheese and the 2 steak tacos with onions and cilantro. Our dinners were good. We love to support the local small businesses, this seems like a nice family run restaurant, I'd like to return to try more of the menu with drinks maybe on a night they have a comedy show.

Nasty wasted my 30 dollars could've went to Taco Bell instead... the can corn was Terrible

New owners , I had tlacoyos and pozole and it was delicious I recommend this place 100 % best tlacoyos i have ever tried !!!!

Went fir the large shrimp meal. At $65 you would expect it to be good. Wrong. The shrimp where rubbery and hard to peel. They offered to take $7 off my tab for serving uneatable food

Good food! I had carnitas tacos, they were some of the best I've had! The meat was not greasy at all. I also had a cheese quesadilla that was loaded with cheese. Service was all around good and meal was priced right.

Great food and friendly atmosphere. Huge burritos and great churro beans. Highly recommend this Mi Gordito!

Sadly disappointed. Working 5 blocks away & it's still kot worth it. Prices have gone up, quality has went down. Didn't bother to drain the hamburger for tacos so they were a sloppy, greasy mess. The chips tasted like they were reheated. Taco Bell outshines this place.
