El Paraiso - Cuenca

The food may not be the best, but for $1.50, the almuerzo is decent. It includes a soup, drink, and a main dish, usually consisting of rice, beef, and a small salad. The restaurant has multiple locations throughout the city.

The food at this restaurant is bland and uninteresting. They offer large portions at a reasonable price, so it may be a good option for those looking to save money. However, the real standout here are the juices. Made with all-natural, fresh fruits and no added ingredients, they are definitely worth trying. Priced between $0.90 and $1.50, they are a great value. The same goes for the yogurt and ice creations, which are loaded with fresh fruit and priced around $2. A visit to this restaurant is definitely worthwhile.

The dishes at this restaurant mainly consist of different types of vegetables cooked in various ways, with options like soy, rice, and cheese. Most of the dishes are served cold, with the exception of the hotpot cheese dish. The prices are very affordable, making it a good choice for those on a budget. The fruit salads with yogurt are particularly popular and are a generous portion for only $2, enjoyed by locals as well.

I tried the merienda (late afternoon/evening menu) and it was well worth the €2.70! The meal included popcorn, a hearty soup with potatoes and pasta, a rice dish (originally vegetarian but they substituted a cheese/potato part for avocado), and a blackberry juice. It was very satisfying and filling!

The food at this restaurant lacks flavor and is unexciting. However, the portions are large and affordable, making it a good option for those on a budget. The standout item is the fresh fruit juices, which are all-natural and delicious. They are priced between $0.90 and $1.50. Similarly, the yogurt and ice cream dishes topped with fresh fruit are also a highlight, with generous servings priced around $2. Overall, the juices and fruit creations make this restaurant worth a visit.
