El Paraiso - Lake Forest

I feel bad for writing this after all the good reviews I've read. But the juevos con Jamon burrito had way to much cheese and drenched in grease.. I should've tried the pupusas but they looked way to thin for the price.

Always courteous and friendly, their personnel is a plus.

Amazing El Salvadoran cuisine. Absolutely massive menu that would take months to try it all. Fresh made pupusas are mouthwatering heaven. Load them up with spicy cabbage and soak them in hot sauce. Then nap time. Soooo good!

You know it 's the best when a business is unclaimed and still popular seriously the BEST pupusas around! We are used to eating really good pupusas having lived in downtown la for a few years so when we moved to Irvine I was looking for a pupuseria and so glad we found El Paraiso!

I was craving for some pupusas one day and stumbled upon this place while searching Yelp. I was a little frustrated ordering over the phone as the lady on the phone couldn 't hear and understand anything I was saying. I was persistent to try them out, so I ended ordering in person, and waited 30 minutes for them to prep my order. Gladly, I persevered despite the long wait 'coz their PUPUSAS are some of the bests I 've had. I 've been coming here since, and I 've been lucky to have gotten someone more helpful on the phone. Gosh, how I wish places like this have online ordering available or just someone who can speak English 'coz it 's a hit or miss placing orders on the phone. Despite the challenges of ordering here, their Pupusas are so good, and they make it fresh upon ordering. It comes out piping hot, and so delicious! You can taste the corn flavor of the masa, and their generous with their cheese fillings at such reasonable prices, starting at $3.99/each. The flavors I 've tried so far are: Queso (Cheese) So simple yet so good! Chicharron Con Queso (Pork Cheese) This is a family favorite. So delicious! Jalapeño Con Queso (Cheese Jalapeño) I personally didn 't like this. Queso Con Loroco (Cheese Loroco) I love this! This is my personal favorite! This place had become our go to for some amazing Pupusas!
