Bar Arocena

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!

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!

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

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.

Lunch with Uruguayan friends who grew up in that neighborhood and this place has the best chivitos!

Great spot for a beer and a sandwich
