Casual local Restaurant that serves paraguayan food and natural juices. The menu is extensive but simple. It is the perfect choice for those who are looking for a good price-value meal.

I wanted traditional Paraguay food. I ordered a sample platter. I got four different things--all fried. They tasted fine, but it sort of felt like fast food food. It pretty much tasted all the same. It was a good experience, but not a place I'll rave about or probably go back to before I leave. Also, I didn't know you had to use the call button to get the waitress to come over--I sat that for 45 minutes waiting for my check. Use the buttons!

This restaurant offers the "churrasquiera" experience from Brazil. You have the option to pay by weight or "all-you-can-eat" for one flat price. If you choose the weight option (good for light eaters), just stop by the scale each time you load up and an employee will weigh your food and write the cost on your bill.There is a wide selection of hot and cold foods in a self-serve buffet style and one section with barbecued meat that is served to you by the cook. If you know what you want, just point or ask. If you don't know, then just ask for a selection. The main reason I rated this restaurant a 4/5 is because the meats were all well-done and some were very tough. I think if a restaurants focus is on barbecued meat, they should be good at cooking it to perfection rather than letting it sit and dry out over the flames for too long.Drink service is provided by a waiter. When I was there, the waiter was attentive and offered water, drinks, and coffee/tea later. Each table also had a "call service" button that would summon the waiter if you needed anything. Once you settle up your final bill with the waiter, you receive a pass to exit the restaurant which you pass to the attendant at the exit door.If you are staying in the old downtown area, Rodizio is very well located on Palma right beside the Burger King. It is worth a visit if you are close, but I wouldn't travel across the city to get to it.

The place is very nice, wonderful music and efficient attention. Portions are very generous and you can choose to have your meal with fries or a salad for a reasonable price. I had the vegetarian burger and though it tasted good it was a little dry. I would definitely go back when I'm around.

The ice cream we ordered was great, no disappointment whatsoever.The service on that day sucked. It took ages for us to place our order in spite of just a handful of tables occupied and the waiter calling button technology. After many minutes, we pushed the buttons of other tables around us and still no one came. After a while, we finally ordered. When we pushed the "check please" button, it didn't take as much time for the waitress to come.

This is a good option in downtown (older section) of Asuncion. They have a midday buffet where you pay per kilo of food on your plate. There is a variety of choices and food tasted good. This is a step up from fast food but not a full service, sit down and wait for service, kind of restaurant. One of my favorite travel tips is look for places where locals are eating, and this restaurant was filled with local office workers and others enjoying their midday meal.
