" The best meal I've had in a long time! The carne adovada was the real deal. Both the service and the atmosphere were great, but we did have a bit of a delay in getting served. It’s cozy, rich with character, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. Totally recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing about El Paragua for some time, I finally decided to check it out. I was expecting the best, and it did not disappoint. The pork tamales were outstanding, full of flavor and topped with fresh salsa. I enjoyed the ambiance; it feels authentic and homey. The staff was friendly, though a little slow at times. Overall, a fantastic experience, and I would return in a heartbeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" Five stars for sure! We had a wonderful evening at El Paragua. The green chili stew was to die for, and the portion sizes were very generous, making it worth the price. The rustic decor adds a lovely touch to the dining experience. Our server was friendly, although a bit overwhelmed by the number of tables. Regardless, we felt well taken care of. I can't wait to go back and explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" So glad we decided to try El Paragua! The green chili pork burrito rocked my taste buds. The ambiance felt authentic and homey, and we were treated like part of the family. There were a few bumps with the wait, but it’s a small price for such remarkable flavor! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was underwhelmed by my visit here. Though the restaurant is appealing and inviting, the service was overly disorganized, and the food was only mediocre. I had anticipated a more authentic experience, but aside from the decor, it felt lacking. Not sure if I would return soon. " (*Curated Review*)
