We had breakfast at Chef Lupes. The food was really good. The only complaint I had was I asked for chips and salsa. My request was met with a confused look. The response was "you will have to pay for the chips as it is breakfast." I have never understood while people assume you aren't willing to pay for something. Furthermore, why wouldn't you serve chips during a Mexican breakfast?

Chicken Fajitas were great - Beef Fajitas were great - waitress was nice. Problem was, we arrived at 12:56 pm and finally got out food after 2:00 pm. Large table who ordered after us got there food, ate, and was gone before we even got our food! I think our ticket was lost - after we questioned the wait, the cook was shuffling through tickets. I know - it happens sometimes - would not have been so bad if we werenât in a hurry.

Homemade and delicious. The service was amazing. We went early for dinner and had the outside almost to ourselves. Peaceful, quiet, exactly what we were looking for. Chips and salsa were winners. Combo fajitas and cheese enchiladas also perfect. The kind of place you might just eat at again the next day.

Smaller size cafe and open for breakfast and lunch. Friendly and efficient servers and a large menu. We ate breakfast several times here while on vacation. Primarily Mexican menu with many choices. Good omelets and Chiliquilles and quite reasonable. But request the pork chop not overcooked - my husbandâs was like shoe leather.

The Chiliquiles at El Paraiso are delicious. I recently had breakfast at El Paraiso and totally enjoyed the Chiliquiles with scrambled eggs refried beans. They were prepared just the way I like them with plenty of red sauce. My husband had the juevos rancheros which he said were good.The restaurant is located at the far end of the Albertsons Market parking lot. There is plenty of parking.The wait staff was courteous and accommodating.

Hole in the wall bar that has good entertainment and great food. Strong drinks! Limited menu. Anything Hatch Pepper is great. Heard Enchilada Thursday is the most popular night. Not open Saturday or Sunday, or lunch any day. Why? Because they don't want to. Gotta respect that.

Mrs Pena was working hard and all the tables were full. We were able to sit down simply because someone was leaving when we walked in.If you are in a hurry, don't stop at Pena's; but, if you want an amazing meal (we stopped for breakfast) and have the time to enjoy your meal, Pena's is a must.Very clean, great service, excellent food! Mrs. Pena clearly loves serving others....

Three of us ate there. Nacho's were horrible, ceviche was below average, and the tortilla shell for the taco salad was extremely greasy. Service was average.
