A True Taste of Argentina in RVC!
If you’re looking for the real deal, Gauchito 3 is hands down the only authentic Argentinian spot you’ll find in the area. It’s a local gem that manages to feel both high-end in flavor and incredibly welcoming in atmosphere.
Here is why it’s a must-visit:
The Meats: The quality is top-tier. Every cut is seasoned perfectly and grilled to perfection, yet the prices remain surprisingly affordable for the caliber of food you’re getting.
The Starters: You cannot leave without trying the empanadas. They are flaky, savory, and pair perfectly with their signature chimichurri (I could honestly put that stuff on everything).
The Drinks: They stay true to their roots with classic Argentinian cocktails. Seeing a Fernet & Coca-Cola on the menu was a highlight, and they have a great selection of Argentinian beers.
Happy Hour: They have Happy Hour every single day, which makes it the perfect spot for an after-work drink or an early dinner.
The Grand Finale: Save room for dessert! Their Dulce de Leche creations are the perfect sweet ending to a heavy meal.
Beyond the food, the service is excellent. The staff is very attentive and genuinely cares about your experience. Whether you’re a regular or it’s your first time, they treat you like family.
I highly recommend Gauchito 3!

Having El Gauchito near my house is a blessing. As an Argentine, I can tell you this place truly represents our flavors and culture. The food is espectacular — perfectly grilled meats, great portions, and everything tastes just like back home.
The ambiance is warm, lively, and full of that real Argentine vibe. You walk in and feel it right away. And the service? Top notch. Friendly, attentive, and always making sure you’re taken care of.
If you’re looking for authentic Argentine food with great energy and excellent service, this is the place.
¡Altamente recomendado!

Feeling bold about your next dining choice? Look no further than this rare gem, El Gauchito 3, an Argentinian steakhouse in heart of the South Shore of Long Island. Having dined at El Gauchito 2 in Queens, I expected the same quality and service at their newest branch. It didn’t disappoint. The ambiance imparts a casual dining experience with its modest storefront and interior space. Noise from piped-in music and 2 large parties celebrating birthdays was medium level, not to the point that it’s hard to carry on a conversation. Let’s get to the reasons one should try this restaurant – food and drinks.
We were greeted with complimentary warm bread and provolone slices stuffed with ham. That they were delicious made it more of a welcome surprise. We started off with an amazing cocktail called Peach Fire. For appetizers, we picked mussels in garlic sauce and grilled sweetbread (in plain English cow’s glands), both definite crowd pleasers for their exotic, complex flavors.The friendly waitress recommended the 3 meat plate which my wife and I ordered. It turned out to be the star of the night. The short rib, skirt steak and sausage were perfectly grilled, brimming with that fresh off-the-grill taste. A side order of tostones complemented the rich taste of the meat. We did not try any of the desserts that were featured in a very expansive menu. We are excited to return to this fine establishment and explore the remainder of the menu. It deserves its rightful place in my regular rotation of dining options!

This place was amazing, if I would have listened to the few bad reviews on here I would have missed out on an authentic experience. The staff is lovely and very knowledgeable, if its your first time (as it was for me) at an Argentinian restaurant they will absolutely guide you. We shared a combo grilled meats dish and it was DELICIOUS. Comes with 1 side and we got a few other sides to go with it. I also LOVED the empanadas. The drinks were good, definitelyrecommendedthe margarita & this place is perfect for a date night, celebrating a special day, or even with family. TRY IT you wont regret it. There’s a good reason they now have 3 restaurants.

This weekend we picked up food for my sister’s birthday and by far the worse location. Food was horrible, meat was way over salted. I’ve gone to the other locations food is always delicious. But not the case for this location. Will never be returning the meat quality wasn’t even the same as the other locations. If I could give 0 stars I would. Super disappointed, we threw all the food out.

Yesterday, I was informed that my mom’s work friends’ husband owns this restaurant here in Rockville Centre. We came here last night and we all loved it so much. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for a nice and friendly restaurant here in downtown Rockville Centre. Their food is delicious, and I highly recommend their empanadas, whether you get beef or chicken, they all taste delicious.
