El Paraiso Restaurant y Taqueria - Fanning Springs (FL)

4 /5 AnnieM: Good food all the time. Nuthin fancy at all, just really good realiable mexican eats. Reasonable prices, generous portions. Fast service for fresh food. I live in Ocala and make sure I stop here everytime Im in Dixie County. Take your friends. Theyll love it!

4 /5 Jason Abram: Nice little hole in the wall Mexican spot. Not the Americanized garbage. Food was good. Only thing I wished was they had 10” quesadillas, an also chorizo. Wish the salsa had more of a kick to it. Maybe also more of a chili flavor. More Arbols perhaps. Chips were good,a fresh. Service was excellent. No complaints there. She was also able to speak good English.

4 /5 Mister Jon: This is the definition of a hole-in-a-wall type of restaurant. There really is almost no sign to be seen from the street other than an "open" sign in the window. There are 5 tables total. The menu is written on a white board and you order at the registering. They have a limited selection of food, soft drinks and beer. Food was excellent. Prices were reasonable. Ambiance is lacking, but the food made up for it. This restaurant makes you feel like youre in Mexico! Massive chicken burrito that is as big as your face!

5 /5 Laura Strapp: There were 11 in our group tonight. I thought the food was great. There was a language barrier, but we all were fed. The two gentlemen did a great job. Only thing they didnt have was diet beverages, but other than that it was excellent. Authentic like I had when I lived in California.

5 /5 Arri B: When I seen this little hole in the wall with menudo advertised out front I knew I had to go. I felt like I was in Mexico. The waitress was also cooking so don’t expect to be doted over this is a small establishment be patient with the workers because the food and atmosphere is what you’re there for. The place feels like you’re at your tias(aunts) house or a family gathering. My husband even converted to liking menudo he’s tried it 6+ times at other places and this place sold him. This was some of the best meals I have ever had. My food made me miss my abuelas cooking. If you want authentic food this is the place. We will definitely be making this a regular spot to eat.
