La Pulpería
A small, family-run steakhouse on a corner in Punta Carretas, highly popular with locals for its charcoal-grilled steaks and excellent value.
Located at Lagunillas 448 in Punta Carretas, this is a small, family-run joint with about 30 indoor seats and outdoor tables set up in good weather. The charcoal grill is the centerpiece of the restaurant. Signature dishes include grilled skirt steak (entraña) and grilled provolone cheese (provoleta), with ribeye also highly recommended; a half portion is almost as large as a full one. During peak season on Fridays, the wait can be about an hour, so arriving right at opening is recommended. Sources conflict on whether reservations are accepted, so call ahead to confirm. Taking a taxi from the city center is the most convenient way to get here.
Opening hours
Tue-Sat 20:00-00:30, Sun 12:00-16:00, Closed Mondays (calling to confirm before visiting is recommended)
