Paraguayan cuisine is delicious, but it can be intimidating for a newcomer. Menus are often in Guaraní, street food hygiene standards vary wildly, and finding the best version of a dish (rather than just a greasy one) takes local insider knowledge. Don’t gamble with your stomach. We curate a route of sanitary, high-quality, and authentic establishments so you can explore the flavors without the worry.
We start as the locals do.
You will taste the Chipa (a cheesy corn/manioc bagel) fresh out of the tatakua (brick oven) and the Mbeju, a starch pancake that is crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. We’ll pair it with a sweet Cocido Quemado (burnt mate tea) to wake up your palate.
Did you know the “National Soup” of Paraguay is actually a solid cake? You will try the authentic Sopa Paraguaya (cornbread with onions and cheese) and Chipa Guazú (corn soufflé). If the weather permits, we’ll dive into Vorí Vorí, a comforting chicken soup with corn dumplings that was recently voted the best soup in the world.
Asunción comes alive at night with the smell of grilling meat. We finish strong with the Lomito Árabe or a Lomito Completo sandwich: high-quality filet mignon with egg, cheese, and sauces, served at a sit-down spot that elevates street food to an art form. It’s messy, it’s delicious, and it’s 100% Paraguayan.
