Dan LamJune 6, 2015This is a great place to have lunch or a date. Chivitos (Uruguayan-style sandwich) are the bomb diggity. The el canadiense is a blend of flavors savory and sour. For apps definitely get the croquetas.
Must try El Cheto Chivito sandwich. Veggie, with portobello mushroom! Delicious! Also the vegetarian croquettes! Both a must have! Oh and the chocolate mousse dessert! Can't wait to be back!
Kimmie OhhSeptember 28, 2019Charrua serves Uruguayan food. They take pride in their Uruguayan culture as they have Uruguayan wine & beer. Best known for their chivitos. Filet mignon was tender & the bread was soft & fluffy.
- Kimmie OhhSeptember 28, 2019The interior is really cute. On beautiful days, they open up their huge window & guests are allowed to sit at the bench right by it (like I did!). They have a bunch of throw pillows there too.
- Kimmie OhhSeptember 28, 2019Happy hour is 2-for-1 sangria & need. Sangria Blanca & Sangria Roja are both amazing (I like sangria on the sweeter side). They taste like juice & go down like water so be careful!
Kate FurmanMarch 30, 2016Highly recommend the el canadiense chivtos, a filet mignon sandwich topped with bacon, cheese, egg, caramelized onion, roasted red pepper, olives, lettuce, tomato, mayo with a side of fries.
JeremyJune 14, 2015New + apparently the 1st Uruguayan resturant in Manhattan. The appetizer + main course (el bolija) were flavorful. Bonus: Nice atmosphere (especially at night + a very friendly staff. BYOB for now.
Martín MutilvaJune 5, 2016Really Good and Authentic Uruguayan food. Even better than what you'll get in most places in Uruguay.
m buMarch 12, 2015AMAZING!! Definitely try the chivito canadiense, my family is from Uruguay, and this one tastes as if it was made in Uruguay.... Delicious! I will be back, often! FYI: It's byob for now
Ernesto GutierrezAugust 14, 2017The signature dish is the hanger steak with chimichurri sauce. Medium rare is the way to go. The accompanying fries have the right amount of crispiness to them.- Kimmie OhhSeptember 28, 2019I expected their sample platter or picada charrúa to be a bigger portion than what was served. It consisted of chicken cutlet, skirt steak, corn empanada, tuna empanada, chorizo & chimichurri sauce.
Jami BuechlerApril 19, 2015Everything was amazing and the service was great! Corn empanadas, salmon and flan were fantastic!! Great music and vibe, a must with friends or a date!
Lucia RiveraJune 14, 2015Great service and kind staff. The chipirones were delicious, and the chivito canadiense is just like in Uruguay. The place is really nice.
Claire J SongJune 16, 2015Chivito(Little goat) national sandwich of Uruguay, shiny brioche, bulges with ham, egg, steak, bacon, olives, mozzarella, pickled peppers, lettuce, tomato, caramelized onions, and mayo.
Billy SeolNovember 5, 2015starting from the bread to the sandwiches everything is perfect. I loved the canadian.
AmateurConciergeJune 23, 2015Their signature sandwich is good and apparently true to tradition, but doesn't bring anything exciting to the table and is a bit pricey at $13. Nice sidewalk facing seating.
Mats LinanderJanuary 19, 2019Try a glass of the Grappamiel (honey grappa). It's not on the menu but they have it in the bar. Delicious.
Kari RimellApril 18, 2015Do not leave without trying the Salchichon Chocolate! Homemade dulce de leche, new favorite.
Jasmine Garsd GarcíaOctober 6, 2018Terrible. Took our order & came by 45 minutes later (even tho there were 2 other customers) to tell us they didn’t have what we ordered (a salad and calamari). At that point we were starving and left.

"The rice bowl with chicken was really good. You can add whatever toppings you like (they charge by topping beyond a certain number though). The chicken is cooked perfectly."
