Our Journey
Bringing the authentic spirit and flavors of Montevideo to the heart of Jackson Heights for over 35 years.
A Legacy of Flavor
For over three decades, La Gran Uruguaya has been more than just a restaurant; it’s the heartbeat of our community. What started as a small dream to share our family's heritage has grown into a Jackson Heights landmark.
Every cut of meat on our grill and every handmade pasta dish is prepared with the same passion and secret recipes passed down through generations. Our legendary parrilladas represent the warmth of the Uruguayan hearth, right here in New York City.
