I had a very disappointing experience at Gaucho Beach & feel it is important to share. My friend & I went for brunch around 11:15 AM. We placed our food order at approximately 11:30 AM & received our drinks around 11:45 AM. Our food did not arrive until 12:30 PM, nearly an hour later, with no communication or updates in between. This was extremely disappointing & not acceptable.

After about 30 minutes, our server, who also identified himself as the manager named Vinny, approached us & asked whether we had already placed our order. I was caught off guard since he was the one who had taken it. He assured us he would check on it because it should not have been taking that long yet no explanation was provided. It is also worth noting that this was a Monday late morning/ early afternoon & the restaurant was not busy. That alone raised concerns about how service would function during peak hours. The situation became more frustrating when the table next to us, who had been seated after us, received their food first. I went to look for Vinny to share my concern & encountered another employee who said she did not know who Vinny was. I have never worked in an establishment where staff members do not know their coworkers or management.

When our food finally arrived, the order was incorrect. I had specifically requested to substitute fries for a salad & that request was ignored. At that point, Vinny explained that they had received a large order. If that had been communicated from the beginning then the delay would have been much more understandable. Instead, the lack of communication made the experience worse & offering free drinks felt like an inadequate solution to a service failure of this scale. We chose to leave & dine elsewhere where we received proper service. I have eaten here a few times before & unfortunately feel the quality continues to decline. This experience solidified that I will not be returning. I now understand why my family avoids this restaurant & I can’t say that I blame them.

Gaucho is such a charming restaurant with a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience very pleasant. I ordered the paella, and it was absolutely delicious — full of flavor, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. The portion was generous and great for sharing, which makes it perfect for a nice evening out. If you’re looking for authentic flavors and a relaxing place to enjoy them, I definitely recommend trying the paella here. ❤️

I’d like to start off by saying that the server who ended up taking care of us was very nice and accommodating. Aside from her, this was a dining nightmare, here are the main points. The first server to come to the table greeted us, I asked for waters for myself, my friend, and if she could bring some sort of to-go bowl with water for my dog. She returns with 2 waters in 6 oz plastic cups reminiscent of the cups you’d see at a water cooler, along with an empty to-go container. My friend and I both assume this was the set up for the dog, so we pour the water from the small cups into the to-go bowl on the ground. When I ask what the seasonal beer is, she can only tell me the name of the brewery and nothing else, I order a beer at 4:20 pm. At 4:30 a second server comes over and greets us as if we’ve just been sat, this is the server who ended up taking over our table, we tell her we’ve placed a drink order with the first server. At 4:35pm, one of the bartenders comes over and greets our table. I say we ordered from the first girl, he confirmed my beer order and then walks back in to the bar. At 4:50 our now server ( the second woman who greeted us), brings over a very dead beer that had clearly been sitting a while, and takes our food order. She does apologize for the waters we were initially given and brings us actual glassware with water.

It took 30 minutes to get one beer.

I order the lobster roll, my friend orders a hamburger cooked to medium. Now, given that this was on Labor Day, I assumed the food would take a little while. It took less time for us to get our food than it took for me to get the one beer. When our food does come out, my friend’s burger is beyond well done; practically burnt and beyond dry.
My lobster roll is pitifully small, served in what looked like a grocery store hot dog bun that is so burnt on the bottom it’s entirely charred, and rock solid. For $30, there was only 4 oz of lobster mix. The portion of fries outweighed the lobster roll, the sprig of parsley was half the size of the lobster roll. I also notified the kitchen of my food allergy, it was disregarded and still served with the allergen.
Both of our dishes were also bland.

Throughout the meal, as other staff would bus tables, they’d throw the remaining liquid in glasses over my shoulder, into the bushes next to our table. Disgusting.

I did ask to speak to the manager and explained the many many issues, when he offered to buy us dessert I said that we were ready to leave and to do what he thinks is the right thing to do for our bill. He offers then to buy the beer I ordered.

10 minutes go by and the manager returns with a new beer. I tell him, again, that we’d like to leave and did not want this. He says he’ll comp both off our check. 10 more minutes go by before we see our server and ask her to bring us our separate checks. The manager interrupts her splitting the checks and instead presents one check to us, prompting us to pay even though we asked again for a split bill. We paid and left, I made sure to still tip the server since other people’s incompetencies aren’t her fault.

The overall attitude from the management is apathetic, as if they believe because they’re bound to get tourists due to their location they don’t have to work hard or take any pride in what they’re doing. I’ve been in the service industry for over a decade, that is a terrible attitude to have. I live in Long Beach and will not be going back. There are so many other great restaurants that going to Gaucho Beach again would be a waste of money. It was a waste of money to go there in the first place.

Good location, bad execution. Ordered a “12oz ribeye” medium rare with rice. 1) it DEFINITELY was not a ribeye, likely some other cheap cut of meat 2) it came out completely cooked through. I pointed it out, they prepared another one – took 20 more minutes. Came out completely well done again. 3) each time they brought it out, they brought it out with fries instead of rice.

Happy hour has decent beers and the artichoke dip was alright – didn’t provide enough pita bread for it at all and they don’t provide refills on the bread. Seems like they do everything they can to save money.

Came here for happy hour. Our server Klaus was awesome! Our 2nd time having him. Very polite, attentive & always checking in on us. We got HH beers, empanadas (so freaking good) and a skirt sandwich! Everything was delicious . Hope to get Klaus again as our server!

I came to this cool little outdoor restaurant with my girlfriend on a weekday evening. We parked at shoreline village parking and then walked along the bike path to get there. As soon as we got there we were seated the place looked busy and most seats were filled. The views of the ocean were great and the feeling of being out at the beach was a nice touch. My girlfriend ordered a lucky charm drink and I ordered beer, I gotta say that lucky charm drink was good and caught me by surprise! The food was amazing I had a gaucho burger that had thick bits of bacon . Girlfriend had the lomo saltado and wow really good, and portion size was bigger than I thought it would be. Overall great experience views and food

What a pleasant surprise this place was. We were in Long Beach and wanted a quick bite close to the water-enter Gauchos! The vibe was alive and fun, the service was exceptional, and the food was really good. We started with guacamole and chips-fresh and delicious. I got a burger with a side salad. The burger and fixings were fresh and yummy, but the side salad was the real star of the show! It was SO Good! My husband got fish and chips, which had large chunky portions of fish cooked perfectly. I highly recommend:)

The service was fine but slow. Drinks, from cocktails to ice teas, took a long time to arrive at the table. The benches at the community tables for seating were awkward to sit at and get up. The atmosphere was very nice. The prices seemed high for the food you get. We didn’t feel rushed, which is important to our group.

My partner and I had already sworn off coming here for lunch/dinner from previous lackluster experiences here.

However, we decided to give them a chance for brunch. Came the day after Valentine’s Day for brunch with bae. Ordered the lobster omelette and chicken and waffles. Both came out almost room temperature.

Complained and received replacements that were exactly the same temperature as before. Asked for togo boxes (because we prepaid), got the hell up out there and went to get some way better food!

The waiter didn’t apologize, no manager approached us to apologize and offer some type of recompense. Needless to say we will never come here to eat again. It sucks because they are located at a prime location with a beautiful view of the beach.
