El Paraiso Tropical Llc - Cockeysville

The food here is amazing. Whether it’s for takeout or eat in, you can’t go wrong. We usually get the Burritos (Chicken and Vegetarian) and Tacos(Chicken and Barbacoa). The pupusa are delicious as well.Please also note: They are NOT closed permanently.

I’m not sure why the rating for this place is so low. Maybe a previous owner or management, not sure. The food here is absolutely delicious and the pupusas are a must try. Maybe they’re trying to stay a hidden gem but I suggest giving them a try. Plenty of parking and there is a dollar general on the same parking lot.

Skip that chain across the parking lot, come here for some of the best food I've ever had. Recommend the Platillo Salvadoreno #2. Better horchata than I've gotten anywhere else. Legit good taste

Ouch. This place has potential and, judging from the 4 star rating, has lived up to it at some point (either that, or the local clientele has long-Covid and have completely lost their sense of taste . This is a generous rating, especially given the long black hair I found in my food after having eaten most of it...but it's a pandemic and I'm trying hard to be generous. Let's start with the good: the homemade hot sauce and cream sauce are both excellent. The plantains and avocados were perfectly ripe and tasty and the beans and rice were as good as anyone would want. But there are many, many things that torpedo this grade. The tacos de lengua were very bland with toppings that seemed like an afterthought; the cheese (was it feta? was rancid; they took an order and charged for Diet Coke, only to tell us after 20 minutes of waiting that they had none (I politely chose something else ; and it was about 40% more expensive than the menu prices suggested (to be fair, the price list above the order counter had been blanked . As I said, COVID has surely been tough on them, but they need to work this out.

Hubby wanted try this place for Lunch. It's located in the Cranbrook Shopping Center, a small little Restaurant. Only two other People were in the Dining Room. Was greeted by a Nice lady and told we could seat ourselves. She gave us Menus. We ordered drinks and appetizers. I forgot to take a picture of my main meal which was Chicken Fajitas with Rice and a tiny cup of Black Beans. It was just ok, I didn't like the Rice it was a Beige Color with no Flavor and the side of Beans was Minute. My Husband ordered the BBQ Beef Tacos, he liked them. And the Food did come out piping hot. So I'll give them another try if my Hubby wants to come here again. I just wasn't feeling my Food, Lol.
