Bar Arocena

The glass they offered me was dirty and smelled like mold. Also? I accidentally went to Men’s room and saw the cook use the bathroom and walk out without washing his hands. HE DID NOT WASH HIS HANDS AFTER USING BATHROOM. Ewwwww Despite wanting to vomit, I didn’t want to cause a scene for the group and ate the food. It wasn’t bad. But I really question the hygiene at this restaurant.

Delicious sandwich! I will say the prices on the menu look like they have gone up from many I saw online. But overall affordable for the portion size you are receiving. Came after I read this spot was the home of Anthony Bourdain’s favorite sandwich. Did not disappoint!

Chivito Arocena is delicious! Definitely the best that I've had in Uruguay.

Amazing Chivito and fun place!

We had three chivito's. One of us is a big man with a big appetite, he had a big traditional chivito, his wife had a standard size traditional chivito, I had the vegetarian chivito. We all agreed that these were the best chivito's we'd ever had!!! My vegetarian chivito had grilled eggplant & zappolito, fresh tomatoes and lettuce, melted cheese and a dash of pickle (couldn't see it, but it added a delicious flavor). I look forward to going back to Arocena's for another!

Best Chivito in town! A bit more expensive but totally worth it!

Beautiful chivito. Owner not nice but who cares.

Disappointed with their flagship Chivito: so much eclectic stuff, it is impossible to eat without knife and fork, dismantling it. Only a deli-thin slice of filet, cheap ham-like product and drowning in mayo. Can’t compete with Lomito steak on baguette on the other shore. Fries were OK. Flan con Dulce de Leche another disappointment: not home made, but the jello-based kind you buy in the supermarket. In the holy land of marvelous Conaprole, Lapataia, Narbona and Los Nietitos, it was served with the cheapest, thickest dulce de leche-like pastry stuff possible.
