As a Paraguayan, I can attest this is the most authentic Paraguayan food I've had in the US! Get the empanadas, mbeju, chorizo, milanesas, chipa, and croquetas. Everything is delicious!
Richie StarkApril 19, 2016This empanada. Want to try their other ones. Tortilla (like a scallion pancake) and yerba mate (herbal water poured into a different mix of herbs) were also tasty. Great value.
- Come here for Paraguayan food obvi! I believe this is one of the only Paraguayan restaurants in NYC. Food here is very flavorful & the portions are huge! Waitress Pamela was very sweet & attentive.
- Order their payagua mascada - beef & yuca patty; mbeju - yuca cheese flatbread, chipa guazú - cheesy corn soufflé, chipa so’o - corn cake with beef & egg. Also order any of their empanadas!
Diego FretesNovember 25, 2017Authentic paraguayan. Order the chipa guasu and empanadas first. Or the payagua. Then I recommend the vori soup and beef milanesa with ensalada rusa. Dulce de mamon (papaya) for dessert.- Village VoiceAugust 13, 2014Try a few of the traditional Paraguayan dishes, like chipa guazu, which tastes like a cross between a soufflé and cornbread.

Nadia MarecoOctober 11, 2014Try beef empanadas, ñoquis with estofado de carne and the grill for 2, amazing, delicious 😋
Get the chipas and baked empanadas. Hard to find the latter in my experience.
