Im an amateur cook. Chiviteria Marcos, i worked there! In punta del este´s one. They use a burger like bread to make their chivitos. Actually, the bread used is larger. But anyway, Uruguay charms are not found in Punta del Este, hehe. I would like to correct something about uruguayan beer; Zillertal is not national uruguayan beer, instead it is Pilsen, or Patricia. I would be glad to share with information about uruguayan food of anyone is interested about, like recipes or costumes, write to me, the address is ojalaqueque@hotmail.com.- Bye Hi, I am a 22 years old uruguayan.

This was my fourth trip to Colonia, and I’ve hit the museums, and wandered the streets of the historic district, each of the four previous times. I’ve also eaten at the overpriced tourist-oriented restaurants in the zone. I decided to walk into the center of town instead of the historic district - it’s no further, just a slightly different direction. I was in the mood for a good chivito sandwich, and nabbed an outdoor seat at a little chiviteria and pizzeria called La Amistad, at 448 18 de Julio, just a couple of blocks from the ferry terminal. I was relaxing, and I let the waiter talk me into a chivito al plato, which he assured me was a better way to eat a chivito - in hindsight, I disagree, the sandwich is the thing. But I got a reasonably tasty one, made classically - thin slice of steak topped with crispy bacon, a paper thin slice of ham, melted cheese, and a fried egg. The plato version came with fries, ensalada rusa, and a little side salad, the fries were actually pretty good. I sat amongst locals rather than tourists, and I paid half of what I’d have paid for a chivito in a historic zone restaurant, a mere ten blocks away (80 uruguayos, or $3.25 versus 150 uruguayos or $6.35).

I have some catching up to do around here. Interesting trip to Uruguay. I like the looks of that empanada, which I'd gladly love to try. Glad to read you were able to return despite the officer's scrutiny.... Best, Paz Wow! I have some catching up to do around here. Interesting trip to Uruguay.
