Uruguayan restaurants in USA

    El Rey del Chivito

    Heart, meet the 'King of Chivitos' and his signature dish: a sandwich of steak, ham, cheese, fried eggs and mayonnaise (there may have been lettuce, peppers and tomatoes too, but the other ingredients just laughed at them). Now run, heart, run away! That's just the basic, by the way, and it comes with fries. We've never heard of Uruguayan restaurants in the US, and now we know why: anyone who could have spread the word died of a coronary long ago. El Rey also serves Uruguayan pizza; try it topped with faina, long strips of bread mixed with cheese and peppers.
