Lomito Truck

Two blocks from the law school of the University of Asuncion, this Volkswagen Transporter magically transforms into a food truck offering delectable dishes. A couple of wooden tables and fancy decorations occupy a small garden near the truck, giving the spot a friendly feel. Most importantly though, delightful dishes offer a whole range of culinary experiences. There’s lomito, a tenderloin sandwich oozing with beef, cheese, ham, fried egg and heavenly delicious sauces, along with many other Paraguayan favorites to get through!
