Came here with my wife and daughter for a spot of lunch. We walked in mostly because we've never had Paraguayan food. We've traveled extensively across Latin America, but never went to Paraguay, and were curious about the cuisine. The restaurant was just being built when we moved to Bayside, and opened for business in October 2015.It turns out that Paraguayan food is similar to Uruguay and Argentina -- heavy reliance on asado (grilled meats) and starchy vegetables like corn and yuca. Difficult to eat "light" but we did our best.The vibe is somewhat upscale, and the ambiance and decor is appropriate for a date or a nice evening out with the wife. Unfortunately there are three flat screen TVs which slightly kills the upscale ambiance with a bar-ish vibe, but hey, not everyone has the strong dislike of TVs that I have (not to mention it *is* a restaurant bar).The owner is remarkably friendly and pleasant. He is, indeed, from Paraguay, as are his parents, who own the only other Paraguayan restaurant in New York (in Greenpoint). He spoke to our daughter (he's the proud papa of 2 girls) and was happy to give us a quick lesson on food and culture of Paraguay.Chipa Guazu: AThe dish's name is, of course, not Spanish. It's Guarani, which is the language of the indigenous peoples of Paraguay. It can be described best as a "corn souffle with a WHOLE LOT of shredded onions". Also, I can't tell if the "puddingness" is derived from whey / buttermilk or from caramelized onions. In any event, unlike American corn souffle, this dish has only a faint trace of sweetness to it, which I assume must come from the shredded caramelized onions. We bought this for our 1 year old (she only has 3 bottom teeth) and it was completely appropriate for her. Our baby goes ga-ga over garlic and onions, and the texture was 100% fine for her. I loved this dish too: it struck an interesting balance of savory flavors and sweetness. Sweetness is not one of my favorite flavors, and this souffle did a great job of walking the line between a sweet overtone and just being sweet.Sandwich de Lomito Sabor Guarani: A+If you read my reviews, you know I reserve A+ for what I consider to be the best foods in NYC. It's very rare that I hand out an A+, but this sandwich warrants it: if you define a "sandwich" as "two pieces of starch with stuff in between them" then this may be the best sandwich I've ever had -- any cuisine, any restaurant, any time.I think this is the Paraguayan version of a Mexican torta -- a flavorful and textured "wet sandwich" which requires a napkin if you eat por la mano (which you should!) This is Sabor Guarani's take on lomito, which is a very popular street food of South American countries. Lomito usually consists of sirloin steak, cheese, egg, chimichurri, etc.To be honest, I don't remember the sandwich itself that much -- my wife and I were "Oh-my-God-ing" and "I can't believe how heavenly this is-ing" back and forth throughout the entire meal. When it was finished, we were "Can you believe how awesome that was-ing" back and forth for days afterwards. I'm definitely going to order this again, and deconstruct it with a chef's eye to pay attention to the individual ingredients and presentation.The sandwich came with fries, which were, unfortunately, bagged frozen fries. To the chef I would recommend either serve better fries or find something yummier to replace the fries with. Maybe home made baked potato chips -- they're healthier, vastly more delicious, and easy to make. Because honestly, these fries don't deserve to be on the same plate as this heaven-sent sandwich.Kale Soup: AThis was the soup of the day when we came here. It reminded me of a healthier French soup. Obviously(?) cream based, but not overly so -- you don't feel fatter afterwards like you do with French cream soups. Very interesting textures. Of course it had small pieces of kale, but also had what appeared to be similar to angel hair pasta. I couldn't identify it. Interesting flavors, interesting textures, obviously home made and fresh, obviously not overly fatty. This soup deserves an A.

El Patron mixes a fine tasting pinacolada and serves tasty dishes. My friend had quesadilla and coconut shrimps appetizers for her meal and was happy with both.My inexpensive Mini Bandeja Paisa was a big oblong plate with grilled steak, one sunny side up, fried pork belly, rice, slice of avocado, half a sweet plantain and a cup of beans. More than a filling meal albeit it is named mini. I could give up the egg and rice for mixed veggies.El Patron has white table cloths, high ceiling, a full bar and pleasant service. Metered street parking was available on a week day at lunch time.

Easter lunch at Maggie Mays seems like a great idea! It was Hubby's idea to come here and try the lunch specials. He usually comes here with his friend who lives in Bayside. Note: it's cash only place! No cash? No problem because this restaurant not only supplies food and drinks but they supply an ATM machine. They have a garden section at the back too. Can't imagine if they have a jacuzzi there too. That would complete everything. We called to make a reservation and was told it's crowded and table for 2 would be ready around 3. We've been around enough to know not to listen to that and we got it right when we walked in around 1-2 pm and the empty tables are plenty. It could be some people were late or could be they left early but we had no problem getting a table. The hostess showed me 2 tables for 2, one outside in the garden and one inside the restaurant and I picked inside because it was cooler. I had mimosa and chicken salad. My husband had a burger. Chicken salad was pretty good although I didn't finish it all. Chicken strips were cooked well and some had crispy taste in it. Hubby liked his burger a lot. It's not the first time he came here to eat, he bragged about how good the burger is from this restaurant. Too bad I'm not a burger eater. After the meal we received a tiny fruit plate each. Not bad for $15 each, you have a drink, an entree and some fruits. I don't mind coming back here to try their dinner menu.

We stopped for Sunday Brunch/Blunch. Service was great, quick, efficient but not hovering. Food was cooked to order. I had the steak sandwich and it was more than enough. We didn't realize the roof top was open or we would have gone up there. We looked after we finished and it looked very nice.
