Wood-fired Uruguayan-style chicken and grills with generous portions at moderate prices, but cash-only and long waits; excellent for hearty meat-eaters, frustrating for those expecting smooth service.
Carrito Charrúa delivers exceptional wood-fired chicken and steaks with bold smoky flavor and generous portions, earning solid neighborhood respect and repeat visits. However, inconsistent execution—reports of undercooked or reheated chicken during busy periods—and uneven service quality prevent higher standing. The recent downward trend in reliability and operational strain (long waits, cash-only friction) suggest the restaurant is stretched beyond its current capacity, making it a worthwhile destination for off-peak visits but not a dependable choice during peak hours.
One caveat: Cash-only policy frustrates many; expect ATM runs
