Here are some of the best spots in town to sample street food in the capital.

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!
