Customer Reviews

"My first time trying Argentine BBQ, and the service was incredibly friendly. We ordered the signature mixed grill platter -- the lamb chops were very tender, the chicken was flavorful, and the two cuts of steak (different doneness) plus the sausage were all quite good. While the flavors weren't exactly mind-blowing, everything was enjoyable overall. The big surprise was the side of grilled vegetables -- absolutely delicious! The traditional Argentine soup tasted quite similar to Mexican flavors. And I have to highlight the bread served at the beginning -- it was so good that I couldn't resist asking for another portion. Overall, a very nice BBQ experience with excellent service!"

"We celebrated my husband and my mom's birthdays this past Sunday, and also our family's Mid-Autumn Festival reunion. Normally, it's hard to book a table at restaurant during this time, so my son's girlfriend made a reservation at this Argentinian restaurant, it was our first time there and a very special experience. There was live guitar music and singing, creating a romantic and cozy atmosphere. The manager was very attentive, and the staff were all polite and constantly checked if we needed anything. The food was excellent. I especially loved the lamb chops, which were incredibly delicious. My husband's favorite was the Tomahawk steak, which was perfectly seasoned and suited our taste. It was truly a wonderful place to celebrate such a special occasion."

"Excellent food, especially the steaks (chicken, beef, and salmon). However, we had to always ask for drink refills. And the French baguettes never came after a handful of asking... They have some great drinks as well where other places do not offer, such as the chocolate Mozart martini and crown raspberry. Overall, I highly recommend this place!"

"I took a big group here for a celebration and it was great, solid customer service with excellent food entrees! I ordered their ribeye and it was delicious and cooked perfectly at a medium rare. Perfectly seasoned and the temp was just right. The seasoned vegetables were also delicious. Roland was an excellent server and provided a dessert with a nice display saying "Happy Birthday." All of us had a great time and had an excellent lunch. Lots of parking but I came on a Sunday, but I'd definitely come back here again to try their other menu items."

"A HUGE shout out to our server Roland who provided an outstanding service for our large group of 22 out on the patio. He was super attentive throughout the night, making sure our drinks were filled and were happy with our entrees. His signature catch phrase is "I don't see why not?" haha! Roland definitely deserves a raise. Unfortunately, our group found their sea bass not too fresh, so I would stick to their meat offerings. The Gaucho Special Cut (rib cap) was very good and our group enjoyed the Tomahawk as well. For dessert, I liked the Tiramisu. Overall, we had a great evening and I would book Gaucho Grill again for our next group event!"
