My wife brought me here and it was my first time. I ordered the short ribs and spinach. One out of the two pieces of meat I had they over cooked it. But it still tasted good. My wife’s food was great she had some chicken. It was a nice place, very clean and awesome. It was a total vibe. They have music playing while you eat and it was nice I can’t lie. My daughter and her friend found this place and my wife fell in love every since. I will definitely come back to try some other stuff on the menu.

Our food was good. Only did appetizers and sat at the bar. We watched how they bought out a huge chicken skewer for the guy next to us and from where we were sitting the chicken was raw. When the guy let them know they took it back to cook it more. Not replace it. Then they gave him a free beer when it is pouring outside and he was riding his motorcycle. Guy did NOT drink the beer. Glad someone was thinking.

Honestly was shock, the place so bussy but food terrible. My country can do better to cook the steak and the rest of the food. All meat cold & dry. One of the appetizer provolone cheese taste like rubber. Burger with chimmi sauce it’s just blend. Nothing special about the food here

Just hit up Gaucho Grill for the first time, and man, it was awesome! From the get-go, the place had that perfect vibe: warm, welcoming, and just the right kind of chill.
Our server, Matias, was a legend. He knew his stuff and guided us like a pro. We went all in with the parrillada, the ultimate Argentinian meat feast, and it did not disappoint. The meat was top-tier, and every bite was packed with flavor.
To finish it off, we grabbed some crepes, and they were the perfect sweet ending to an epic meal.
All in all, Gaucho Grill nailed it. Great food, great service, and I’m definitely going back for more. If you’re into top-notch Argentinian eats, this place is a must-visit!

First time at Gaucho Grill, and overall, I enjoyed the atmosphere—it’s warm, inviting, and nicely done. The prices are reasonable for what you get.
I ordered the Picanha, and while the presentation was great, the meat itself was unfortunately chewy and hard to bite. In my opinion, the quality of the cut wasn’t the best. I wouldn’t order it again.
On the bright side, the empanadas were really good—great flavor and perfect as an appetizer. The highlight of the meal was definitely the chocolate mousse for dessert—rich, smooth, and absolutely delicious. That one deserves 5 stars!
Would I come back? Yes, because I’d like to try their other steaks and hope they’re more tender than the Picanha.

We had a reservation at this restaurant on March 7th for my birthday party. I found the restaurant on social media and was excited to try it. The online reviews were mixed but somewhat positive, so I was hoping for a good experience.
On the day of the reservation, the staff was very friendly and the restaurant was beautiful. We ordered some appetizers and the empanada was amazing. The first set of drinks was also good.
However, things went downhill when more of my friends arrived. We ordered more drinks, but half of the party who got drinks was forgotten about and made incorrectly. We asked the server a few times about the missing drinks, and they explained that the bar was not printing the tickets and they had to write the orders by hand. (Very confused on the excuse)
We also ordered two of the Parrillada and a few sides (veggies, potatoes, and rice). When the food arrived it was not hot (more like lukewarm). It looked great so you hoped it would have been good. All of the sides were also very, very bland. For example, the rice had no flavor at all.
I was really hoping to enjoy this place for my birthday but it was a huge disappointment. How they promote this restaurant on social media makes it seem like a great place, but it wasn’t. Just do not get fooled by social media posting.
We told the management team about our experience, and they were very nice and took care of the situation. They offered to remake the food but we did not get the food remade because it wasn’t worth it. I don’t think it would have changed anyway, since most of the food was lacking in flavor. We ended up getting food elsewhere which ca be hard for a party of 10 on a Saturday night around 9pm last minute. All I could say for the best dish we had was the empanadas. It is very unlikely I would ever return to the restaurant again. Very disappointed!

Check out what passes for medium rare… Drinks were good. Food sucked. Service sucked just as bad. I don’t usually leave reviews good or bad but damn… I was trynna have a nice lunch with my mom for her birthday.
-Gambas Al Ajillo (Garlic shrimp): didn’t taste like anything.
-Short rib empanadas: dry/bland.
-Steaks: I thought this was supposed to be a Steak House… I joked saying we would have been better off going to Sizzler but then I realized that would have been a disservice to sizzler and felt bad 🙁
BEWARE! they have different temperature standards apparently
Medium = blue
Medium rare = still mooing
Don’t know why… it’s not like they were busy. Maybe 10% capacity…
no wonder.
-Drinks strong and good… maybe to distract from the quality of the food.
– Salad… straight out of a bag
Don’t know why they bothered asking if it was a special occasion, as they didn’t seem to care and forgot.
It was so bad I’m even regretting tipping the lady.
