About This Place

Located in the heart of Grand Forks, Paradiso Mexican Restaurant invites you on a vibrant culinary journey through authentic Mexican flavors paired with warm, welcoming hospitality. This beloved local spot is a treasure trove for lovers of rich, bold dishes, offering everything from the classic Enchilada Chile Relleno and crunchy Crispy Tacos to hearty Chimichangas and sizzling Steak Fajitas accompanied by fresh fixings that elevate each bite.

As you settle into Paradiso’s spacious, beautifully decorated dining rooms, designed to evoke a lively Latin ambiance, the sensory experience begins even before the first course. The complimentary freshly made chips and salsa arrive with a perfect balance of tang and spice, setting the stage for the feast ahead. The menu features favorites like the Dos Tacos Platter, which pairs crispy corn tortillas with seasoned ground beef and shredded chicken, smothered in mild Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, and served alongside zesty Spanish rice and your choice of beans—comfort food that tastes like a warm embrace with every bite.

Equally irresistible are the loaded options, such as the Super Chalupa, a crispy corn tortilla piled high with seasoned beef or chicken, melty cheese, fresh lettuce, juicy diced tomatoes, and tangy olives, creating a harmonious blend of textures and flavors that dance on your palate. If you’re craving lighter fare, the Southwest Chicken Salad with its invigorating cilantro lime dressing refreshes while still satisfying.

Paradiso doesn’t just wow with food—it knows how to celebrate the moment. Dive into over ten varieties of vibrant Strawberry Margaritas or revel in classic Mexican beverages like Corona.

    I loved the enchilada and crispy beef taco but not big on the tamale. I went for the fried ice cream... it was good, but I don't care for the corn flake topping . They made an error with order but more than made up for it!

    The establishment features various seating sections and definitely exudes a Latin ambiance. It offers a wide array of diverse platters. The food was delicious and in good quantity. You can upgrade a regular fajita to a double portion by paying a little extra. One particular highlight was the incredibly professional and courteous service provided by both the server and the manager. After we finished our delicious dinner, the hour grew late, and to our surprise, the manager personally escorted us to the parking lot to ensure that we left safely. This thoughtful gesture truly exemplified the exceptional level of care and service provided by the restaurant.

    I love this restaurant so much. The food is so good and the portions are pretty big, I got too full and had to take mine to go. The decor is SO amazing and beautiful, place is pretty big with multiple rooms. The staff are also very friendly. Definitely would recommend giving this place a try it has such a cool vibe.

    No wait for a table, we beat the crowd lol. The cheese enchiladas and tamale was very good. Waitstaff was efficient. Moderately priced. Only 4 stars for the atmosphere, just typical Mexican decor but I didn't come for the scenery. Good service and good food is what it's all about.

    First time back here in many years and it was just as good, if not better, than I remembered it! The free chips and salsa appetizer hit the spot as I was starving. The salsa was very tasty, and I was even able to request some hotter salsa free of charge. I had the Tamale and Enchilada combo. So good! My favourite was the pulled beef. Will happily return any time I'm back in Grand Forks. The server, Stacey, was great - kept coming by to refill the salsa and my drinks and very friendly and helpful with recommendations.
