Emilie’s on PA Ave SE Rebrands: Now it’s Paraíso Taqueria & Mezcaleriaby Larry Janezich
This taqueria is different – the colorful green (cilantro) and pink (beet) corn tortillas sets it apart and emphasizes the website’s claim: “Creative cuisine inspired by the streets and home kitchens of Mexico”
The menu is unusual as well, divided into these several categories: Food – Neighborhood Favorites – Desserts – Beverages – Mezcal + Tequila – Brunch – Market & Café – House Pantry

Also from their website: “Paraíso takes us to the childhood memories of a Mexican town fair. A vibrant atmosphere, hypnotizing neon lights, and captivating music. A day at the feria is a moment of wonder; all of our senses get stimulated with flavorful eats and drinks and vibrant sounds and visuals.”
Elsie Yang at DC Eater has a write up here that backs up the claim:
Paraiso’s hours:
Sunday to Wednesday 10:30AM – 8PM
