Flavor is on point!! This place is amazing. We had the chicken mofongo, pork arepa and chicken jibarito and they were all so goood! The portions are big, made me feel at my grandmas. We got our food so fast too. 10/10

My first time at El Paraiso I ordered the mofongo with chicken and llapingacho. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the mofongo was very fulfilling. I expected for the llapingacho to be more crispy on the outside, so it didn’t quite hit with me.

The best Latin American food in town! I have tried seco de carne/pollo, lomo, and mofongo. They are all tasty!

The food was phenomenal and worth the price tag. Be ready to wait, though! We were told 30 min and it was an hour and a half n fore we got our food. Nice of the hostess to comp some sodas for us though.

Easily my favorite place to eat in town. I think I have tried half the menu so far and haven’t been disappointed. I was originally most interested in the Peruvian and Colombian dishes, but am now hooked on the variety. Service is always great and personal. So happy that they have their own place now!

We’ve been looking for a new spot for tacos in Champaign-Urbana. El Paraiso caught our attention because of the abundance of plantain options.

I was too busy eating to take a photo- I got the seco de pollo, pinto beans, and an empanada for dessert. Everything was SO tasty and the price was great for such delicious food. The portion was just right, too. Thank you El Paraiso!
