Paraiso Tropical - Latin Market South

A really nice store with a wide selection of products at good prices.
The best part is the staff, super friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to find a particular kind of chili in the back for me where they could have just said that there was none on the shelves.

A great shop!

First time going there but definitely be back the food is fantastic and the staff is so friendly and helpful.

Popped in for a quick bite and wasn’t disappointed. Ate chicken flautas and a Chilean empanada in their tidy cafe zone. Delicious!

Awesome little latin market. They have tons of shelf foods and frozen/fridge foods. They have authentic cooking tools. The real hidden gem here is the hot food though. At the back of the shop is authentic latin foods from several different regions and it is all FANTASTIC.

Lots of Latin American food, staff are friendly. I go there get Lizano salsa from Costa Rica there.

I absolutely Love ordering off of Skip from this place. Their food is so delicious, I especially recommend the Pupusa’s and the Mexican tamales. Every time I order from them, they include some thing for free. Last time, I received an extra free jalapeño and cheese tamale and it was so delicious. I definitely recommend checking them out and ordering food from them as it is so delicious!

I love this store - they have a good variety of everything related to Latin America food an items. Great customer service. The only aspect that I wish you can improve is considering to have an Air Conditioning to cool down the store but most importantly keeping fresh your products. Heat can affect negatively the shelf life and freshness of your food. This is the only comment not so great about an improvement you might think about. It's an investment, a good one. Thanks

Ill start this review with - I am spanish so I know a good pupusa when I see it. I ordered half a dozen mixed pupusas. Get the food. Go home to enjoy. The pupusas themselves were packed in tinfoil. Tinfoil that by the time we got home was oozing with grease. So much grease it had covered the bottom of the bag with grease. Pupusas were secured in car properly. Open the salsa Roja.its not salsa Roja. It's a watery fluid with an overwhelming smell of Oregano. Like someone had to gone to town on the oregano. Pat down pupusas with a paper towel because again the grease is oozing off of them. There falling apart as I'm trying to maneuver them onto plates. Lots of filling. HOWEVER the liquid salsa roja, and grease make it hard to enjoy. At this point they have all basically fallen apart so we're using spoons to try to eat them. I'm not sure if this was a one off but for $3.75/pupusa I would expect better.

Terrible service! The staff was CERO friendly. Food was okay for the price but of everything they offered on the menu there were only a couple of things.

Friendly service. Tasty food to go or sit down. Lots of Latino food options. Good deals can be found. They also have yerba for mate!

Wonderful service and selection! When we walked in we were greeted by everyone, they made sure we followed covid regulations, and helped us find everything we needed.

Tons of selection for hard to find products. I found everything I was looking for here and more. The samosas cooked in store were a very nice treat!

I ordered from Paraiso on Skip the Dishes as a random guess and oh wow! This place is really delicious. The empanadas were pillowy and so tasty! The Mexican tamale has a nice depth of flavour and kick! I highly recommend you eat here because I don't think there's a wrong choice. Yum!

I like to browse the store but always end up in the kitchen area for a take out treat. Muy delicious for sure.
My go-to is the pork.

Great place for latino foods, ingredients, and snacks. Would've been nice if they were more generous with chicharrón portions and the ensalada. It's just too good

Best Latino market in Alberta, they have everything I need, the fresh made empanadas are amazing, the staff are amazing.

Good spot for Authentic Mexican ingredients! Great music playing, and helpful staff. Picked up corn tortillas for dinner and some hot lunch that was prepared.fresh Mexican tamales and cooked pork. So delicious. Will definitely be back!

Great place, as soon as you get in you feel the typical Latin American warmth vibe, staff always looking to help you and get a really good customer experience, will definitely go back!

I love my Colombian food, both me and hubby had been searching for a tamal for forever and we finally found it here! Not only was a decent size but it was sooo scrumptious.
They have a great variety of Latin American food, cooking and kitchen supplies.
I love this store hour’s makes it more accessible to us. We will be coming here more often!

Went here to look for authentic Mexican candy for my partner who grew up in Mexico City. Was not disappointed! Such a great selection of things we just can't seem to get anywhere else. I was also able to get Mexican vanilla at an amazing price. We will be back.

Went here today for curbside pick up. The lady who took our order was so nice and friendly. The groceries we ordered were great. We had the flautas and empanadas, both fantastic. Will definitely go back.

Wanted to go I this place for years as I drive by it every week. Decided to make a stop in there finally and was greeted with a warm welcome immediately, which was a nice surprise, and pleased to see the variety of products there. I didn't know they serve warm food there as well which also a great surprise and happy to try something authentic.

Love getting my latino foods here. Prices are a tad unreasonable but it's the only place to get what you need for truly authentic Latin ingredients. Check it out only if you know what you need or if you're in the mood to try some excellent tamales

Good selection of authentic Latin products at good prices. The cafeteria food is great and well priced.
My one complaint is the hand sanitizer they make you use when you enter the store during these COVID-19 times. The sanitizer left a greasy and sticky residue in my hands that was very hard to wash off even with soap and warm water. Whereas I do appreciate you taking steps to reducing the spread of the virus, maybe next time inspect the quality of your hand sanitizer.

Went there last week people not that friendly, just because you are the owner family you don't have to be mean to custumers, plus there was a lot of empty shelves, and ice on the floor, very dangerous, and please be friendly and polite to people you look arrogant!

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. They are very welcoming. Prices are moderated and they have an amazing variety of products. Some time, the coffee is on too! Have a visit LCA

Very warm and welcoming staff. Also the empanadas were so delicious. We had to go back for a second round. They're 1 dollar on Mondays!

Tried it for the first time today and will definitely be back to try other items. Great food and terrific prices! If you like Latin food, this is the place to go!
