Expreso Pocitos

The 23 Best Restaurants in Montevideo, Uruguay | Eater

"A landmark restaurant that’s been around since 1910, Expreso was renovated in late 2016, replacing its retro tables and beautiful wooden fixtures with something that looks more like the interior of an Olive Garden. Despite the face-lift, it’s still a go-to for one of the best chivitos in the city. The gut-busting hot sandwich is composed of steak, ham, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and mayonnaise on a roll, with the addition of bacon when ordered Canadiense-style — as it should be. Expreso is open until midnight every night, so stop by after hitting a bar; chivitos make great post-drinking meals that’ll cut your chances of a hangover way, way down. — NMW" - Marcela Baruch
