    We were a group of 14 women today and had excellent service. Checks were separated for each one of us. CHIPS AND SALSA WERE NEVER ENDING! They have a very extensive menu and I guarantee you'll find something you like! I have ordered the seafood pineapple chalupa without the octopus and cod and strictly shrimp. It's amazing and made fresh to order. Speaking with the manager, I asked if they could make it with chicken and he said yes. Then he told me they also have real crab. So you know what that means, next time I'm having crab and shrimp pineapple chalupa. Their flaming margaritas I think are the best in town!

    We love the service the waiters / waitress and wow the drinks the best . You get what you pay for here . Most places rob you of the liquor when you're paying over for a good drink . Not here they do them well and the food .. amazing There isn't one item on the menu yet that we don't love . The shrimp with bacon wrap and carne asada our favorite . It's the best too for a party atmosphere:-) My husband and I highly recommend this place . One of the top Mexican food spots for us in Havasu .

    We love this place. My husband and I had to venture across the lake to have biminis made for our boat. We have enjoyed two happy hours here and the service is great! I love the chips, salsa, and refried beans they bring to the table. AND the flaming margaritas are fun!!

    Great food, great service and great atmosphere. When I come to Havasu to visit my sister we usually come here one of the nights Im in town to have dinner. I have never had anything I didnt like. My favorites are any type of their fajitas, and the mole. And you have to get a flaming margarita!! Recommend reservations. This place gets so busy on weekends.

    Our friends from the Phoenix area joined us on a trip to Lake Havasu City for the Havasu balloon festival and check out the London Bridge. I was looking for some vegetarian options for dinner and El Paraiso came up. We started our meal out with some customary chips with salsa and bean dip with cheese in it. The chips were fine . We did prefer the dip over the salsa. My wife and friends all had the veggie burrito . My wife thought that the veggies were cut inconsistently. Some pieces were bigger than other. That made some parts of the burrito inconsitant in temperature. I had the Carnitas plate minus the onions . Comes with rice and small amount of pinto beans. My plate was good but could have been hotter too. We all liked our food but I would try another mexican restaurant in the area if we return to Lake Havasu.

    $6 flaming margaritas, need I say more? El Paraiso is the 'IT' spot in town for their cheap drinks, tasty Mexican food, and memorable service. My dad has become a regular here due to their $6 flaming margaritas from 3pm-6pm. These margaritas are served in a large margarita glass that might as well be a bucket. You can definitely get a buzz off of one, but why stop there? This has become his favorite place to bring guests, so you know we visited 3+ times over the holiday season. During this time I sampled a number of their dishes, including the chicken enchiladas, tacos, and taquitos. Alex is an incredible server and really went out of his way to make sure that my family enjoyed our experience. He even requoted their list of 15+ flavored margaritas to me three times. A true talent. I ended up ordering the cranberry margarita since it was the most festive. The drink was on the sweeter side, but definitely did the trick. Their claim to fame is that each margarita is topped with a carved out lime filled with alcohol and then lit on fire. It lasts about 3 minutes, but makes for some pretty cool pictures.
