Nothing beats the pandemic blues like good food.
Saline's newest restaurant, Paradise Mexican Restaurant, has opened to rave reviews at 699 W. Michigan Ave.
(Menu. Phone: (734) 316-2942 Online ordering)
Armando Pacheco DeLaCruz and Sara Ruiz Pachecho are the husband and wife team who opened Paradise May 4. Saline diners may remember them from Mangiamo Italian Grill in downtown Saline, where they both worked for Pete Toarmina. Armando was the chef for Mangiamo's.
Paradise Menu specializes in authentic, freshly-made Mexican food.
Of course, they offer the stables. Tacos come with pollo, pescado, carnitas, chorizo and more. There are burritos, fajitas and quesadillas.
Paradise opens at 10 a.m. and serves several breakfast dishes, including huevos rancheros. Or you can try huevos con chorizo - eggs with Mexican sausage, served with rice, beans and tortillas.
The dinner menu includes pollo loco - a grilled chicken thigh served with rice and beans. Bistec a la Mexicana is a thinly cut steak with onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and jalapenos, served with rice, beans and tortillas.
Paridise offers pozole, a traditional Mexican stew, and menudo, a Mexican soup.
A kids menu includes chicken fingers, a cheese quesadilla and kids burrito.
Armando and Sara live with their family across the street from their new restaurant. In the coming months they were open the second side of their business, a market where they will sell canned and fresh food. They are also starting a small bakery and will sell sweet bread and cakes.

Thank you for your years of dedicated service to the Saline Police Department officer 👮♂️ Belknap. I wish you best of luck in all matters of life!
This is outstanding news for the Saline Community!
Best burger goes to Droptop pizza. No doubt about it . Dan’s is not what it used to be and the food is not award worthy. Need some new judges.
It's a voting thing, not a judging thing.
Dan's burger has never treated me wrong. And I like the DropTop burger too.I would never put down someone else's burger, though. I might say someone else has a better one.
Like, I like the Jet's Pizza. But to me, that's a DropTop prize.
These awards are voted by the PEOPLE...not a committee of judges. The people of Saline and Saline area voted for these businesses. I have never had a bad meal at Dan's Downtown Tavern and if something wasn't right I know that it would be corrected. Plus I have had Drop Tops pizza and I found it to be quite good.

While I have some empathy for the family I would bet the proverbial farm that their ancestors would not like it to be rezoned. Disappearing farm land is a national problem not just local.
Agreed. It’s their land and can do as they wish but it’s just a bummer
