Paraguayan At Arbol Cafe


City Paper’s Elisa Ludwig takes a look at Northern Liberties’ Arbol Cafe, a Paraguayan restaurant with a sandwich to put the cheesesteak to shame.

For an intro to Paraguayan cuisine, look to the lomito. At Northern Liberties’ Arbol Café, the sandwich bears a striking resemblance to the Philly cheesesteak — the basic version is a golden, puffy Le Bus roll stuffed with slices of thin fried steak, a “broken” fried egg, turkey ham and melty Port-Salut cheese. It can be made even drippier with additional toppings, like fried onions and mushrooms.
