Chivitos have been on my sand wish list since I first heard of them, but flying down to Uruguay for a sandwich isn't very practical. Thankfully, my friend Nineveh has a friend named Nick who recently devoured a chivito in Uruguay and was thoughtful enough to take pictures! I don't know Nick, but I like him already. 
Above is a chivito Nick consumed in Montevideo at Marcos, a sandwich chain specializing on this regional sammie. According to Wikipedia, a chivito typically showcases thinly sliced churrasco beef, bacon, mayo, olives, cheese, and tomatoes on a bun. I'm not sure what exactly is on Nick's sandwich, but I'd still dig into it. Nick, who has Uruguayan roots, also recommends the chivitos from a place called La Passiva. 
Anyone know of a place to get chivitos in San Francisco? Or anywhere else in the US?
