"Montevideo-based Marcos earned its fame building chivitos (Uruguay's famous steak sandwich) to order. Choose from the 11 toppings and seven sauces, then try to balance the thing back to your table."

Kelly Dunning

"One of the best places in the city to try a tasty Chivito feast is Marcos Chivitos."

Dave Lee

"Where to Eat It: Chiviteria Marcos is a popular chain of chivito restaurants located throughout the country."

Annie Flowers

"The chivito did not disappoint, it was piled high with toppings and had gooey mozzarella cheese melting down the sides. They also added chopped green olives and pickled vegetables making the already salty sandwich even tastier."

Matt Gross

"The base layer of the chivito is a small white roll and a slab of cheesesteak-style beef—seriously good grass-fed beef from the plains of Uruguay, juicy and rich."

"When you’re hungry grab a famous Chivito at Chiviteria Marcos."

Alexandra Tesser

"We recommend Chiviteria Marcos for spot on chivitos."

Dan Perlman

"It was spectacularly good – and came in a chicken version, which I had – topped with soft fried egg, crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, cheese, pickles, olives and mushrooms. Heaven in a sandwich!"

Jonathan Cane

"Before you head off to the capital, there are two special things worth tracking down if you do go to Punta del Este, and one of them is to eat a chivito completo at Chiviteria Marcos."

Bref McHugh

"Take one thin slice of steak (churrasco beef), layer on bacon, ham, green olives, peppers, mozzarella, tomatoes, beets, hardboiled eggs and a lick of mayonnaise, surround it with a bun and now try getting your mouth around it. French fries are optional! It was delicious."
