"It’s obligatory to crush a chivito in Uruguay. So it makes sense to try it at the alleged birthplace of said steak sandwich."

"Bar Arocena is one of the best places to try chivito in Uruguay. Here the iconic Uruguayan sandwich is perfectly prepared by experienced staff and is ready in less than 6 minutes. It's pure product, with no irrelevant extras. The meat used is 100% LOMO (Tenderloin - check translation). This bar is one of the most emblematic ones around town, founded by two men who came from Galicia. Anthony Bourdain, who visited the bar back in 2018 called chivito "king of the sandwiches". A true classic of Montevideo."
"Deliciously made. Fresh ingredients and a particular atmosphere make their chivito the best in Montevideo."
"Best in town."
