Everything was amazing. The prices compared to how much food we got and the quality was very good. Picanha was amazing The big meat platter is always my favorite Cocido latte is my new favorite drink

Delicious and authentic Paraguayan food! We really enjoyed the experience and the flavors. The only downsides are that the space is quite small and the interior doesn't have the most inviting atmosphere for dining in. That said, the food quality and friendly service makes up for some of that shortcomings. Highly recommend giving it a try at least once.

Amazing! This place was so cute, the food was tasty and excellent, hospitality was perfection. Hosts gifted me with a free yerba mate during my meal. Do yourself a favor and check them out. We will be back!

I’ve been to I Love Paraguay twice lately, once for lunch and once for dinner, and I will be coming back for more! The food is delicious, and I especially recommend the empanadita platter to split with friends. The waitstaff is friendly and hardworking - come prepared for a leisurely meal though, as it’s one waiter for all the tables. As you eat, you are surrounded by beautiful flower decor that covers the walls and provides a cozy feel. Best of all, the talented and joyful harpist comes up to each table to get to know the guests and play a couple of songs for you!

I Love Paraguay Restaurant is a fantastic spot for a date night. The menu offers a wide variety of delicious culinary choices, and I can honestly say I’ve enjoyed some of the best food I’ve ever tried there. It's a perfect place for a relaxed, flavorful dining experience.

Rita was the best! It was our first time coming here and she was so nice to explain all the items, give great recommendations, and she was the nicest person. The food was bomb and I would 10000000% go back, this place is a 10/10.

The restaurant offered a truly enjoyable dining experience from start to finish. The ambiance was warm and inviting, creating the perfect atmosphere for a relaxed meal. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who were knowledgeable about the menu. Each paraguayan dish was prepared with skill and care, showcasing fresh ingredients and delightful flavors. Overall, the restaurant exceeded expectations, leaving a lasting positive impression.

I love this place! I’m gonna give 4 starts this time because since I don’t live in NYC I try to stop by every time I’m in town for work and this time I did the same, wanted to get a puchero since it was a chilly and cloudy day. I waited for puchero day on their soup menu and when I got there they were “out” of it. I believe it to be true of course, the sever was super nice and all but I think if you’re out of it, you make more. Especially if you’re are in the customer service industry, and especially with food. Flavor here is always good, a little overpriced but I think going there every one in a while is totally worth ir. I ended up just getting mbeju with cocido which was very tasty!
