My first time having Uruguayan food and it was excellent! For first timers, i recommend you get the meat platter unless you really know what types of meat you like. We got: - meat platter for 2: i think it would feed about 4 average people. My personal favorite were the blood sausage and the sweet breads. The veal was quite tough but i feel like that's always the case. The beef ribs were also quite good but a little salty - paella marinera for 2: this one is probably indeed adequate for 2 people (maybe stretched for 3). The dish was so moist and all the seafood were perfectly cooked. Can't wait to go back and try other dishes and eat more sweet bread!!!

Great value steak. You need to know what to order. The first time we ate here, we had the parillada. It is an impressive amount of food, but I'm not a fan of morcilla, the meats are tough and the sweetbreads are overcooked and dry. Since then, we've had the skirt steak which has good flavor but a little fatty. The best has been the shell steak/bife chorizo. It is a very nice cut of meat and they cook it perfectly - well seasoned, nice crust. The watercress salad pairs perfectly. The place is lively, lots of families with children and very casual.

Ate here today for lunch all by myself while working seasonally as a poll worker nearby. This was definitely my first time eating Uruguayan food feeling curious about what to choose and eat for the first time. I had brought and ate the chicken empanada and 3 veal steak chops with a side of french fries. It was absolutely delicious and tasty that I literally got super full after eating it all up. The service there was also attentive and friendly that I didn't feel rushed about what to choose from the menu of how I can afford it. I couldn't agree more! Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time! :)

Neighborhood staple. Been coming here for over 25 years. The food is consistently delicious and while prices have gone up, you still can't find a similar steakhouse in New York for the same prices. I would come here over a Manhattan steakhouse any day.

If you're in the area and are in the mood for a sandwich, this place is the spot. Savory hearty sandwich and comes with fries. The chicken and steak are both good choices. Put some of the house chimi sauce and it hits the spot.

Fantastic Uruguayan restaurant with a homey feel. Our server was very nice and attentive. All the food was delicious with extremely generous portions. You will definitely go home with leftovers!

We randomly passed this place and it was smelling so good on the street and there were a lot of people dining. So we went in and shared combo #4 and empanada. It blew my mind how tasty it was. Perfectly cooked meats and delicious empanadas. Service was very attentive and great! I'll be back to try more! Loved every bite.

I have been coming here for years and it is pretty consistent when it comes to food quality and flavor. Their service is quick if there aren't too many people and most of their servers are friendly. My go to is their skirt steak with a side of Russian potato salad and a glass of sangria. I order the steak medium and 99 percent of the time it is cooked perfectly. The potato is always tasty and pairs so well with the steak. Their chimmichuri is also seasoned to perfection. Their portion sizes have decreased even tho their prices have gone up which is upsetting. Their sangria is sweet and strong. Highly recommend if you are in the mood for a great piece of entraña.

El Chivito de Oro is a great place to go when you are missing a good wholesome meal. The food is fresh and the menu has a wonderful variety of food. Good authentic Uruguayan cuisine. I definitely recommend this restaurant. Service is on point. When your here definitely get the spinach empanadas and Uruguayan wine. Ambiance is family oriented and warm to the heart. Best part of this experience is the Portions, they are large which is great for taking home for leftovers. For those who are complaining about the price on previous reviews, please don't! remember everything has gone up expect for our wages. So if you can just enjoy the great great food.
