Paradise Grill

Excellent stop on the way up the 89. I had the Pescado Frito and my buddies had the Mexican food. All of it was good. Recommended!

The good: Food was great and service was friendly. The black beans, corn tortillas rocked and the burritos are huge. The diner layout and hearing/​seeing the chef making your food is cool.
The bad: Rice was okay.
The ugly: The look of the outside of the building isn’t the best.
I’ll definitely return when in the area.

I was in Quincy early this week to do some business at the county offices. I was looking for a place to get lunch before heading back on my 3 ½ hr. drive home. Near as I could tell, this was just about the only place open other than Subway, Round Table and one other sort of shady looking Mexican place.
So Paradise Grill sort of won my business by default! This is for the most part a Mexican place that also serves some other basic fare such as hamburgers. They do have a large breakfast menu. But when in Rome… when a restaurant specializes in one type of food, it’s usually best to order within that realm!
I ordered the enchilada plate w/​shredded beef. It was good. Rice and beans were good, but it’s hard to mess that up. I always like to mix them together and then mix in some salsa. The shredded beef was interesting. It was good and flavorful, but not exactly tender. In fact, I had trouble cutting it across the grain even with my butter knife. It shredded (with the grain) beautifully, but when I tried cutting across a few times for a more bite sized piece… it seemed tough as nails! It wasn’t horrible, but it was a little bit hard to chew.
The enchilada sauce was pretty spicy, but I like it that way! I thought it was great, but my husband would have thought it way too spicy for his tastes.
Service was wonderful. They weren’t very busy at all. I was invited to sit whereever I liked and was immediately served chips and salsa. The salsa was good, but I wasn’t a huge fan of the chips. They were very heavy (greasy), and I found it not hard to stop eating them. Chips should be a bit lighter and a little on the addicting side! LOL
Price was amazing! $ 9 (maybe almost $ 10 w/​tax) plus tip and I was out the door!

So good. I’m in Quincy for work this week and this was one of the only places open past 7pm. I got the California burrito and it was one of the best I’ve ever had. The food was hot, fresh, tasty, and came out in less than 10 minutes. The servers were friendly and looked like they were actually having a good time. I’ll be going back again this week before I go home.

Pretty good. Service has been good 4 of the 5 times we have been there. The food is good and I have a very pick tummy that is happy with there food.
