This is such a great restaurant with delicious food and service is top notch. We had the ceviche trio which was amazing. Two of them were a bit salty for us so server took them to the kitchen and they added a bit more citrus. Did the trick! My husband had the Lomo Saltado which he’s had in many different restaurants, in different states, and said this was the best one he ever had. I agree. We’ve been here before and will definitely return.

El Gaucho Inca Estero is a good Argentinian/Peruvian Fusion Steakhouse, menu offers from Tomahawk Steak, to Lobsters by the pound. Also gourmet style Appetizers and signature dishes like Peruvian Fried Rice called “CHAUFA” and Tigers Milk “LECHE de TIGRE” etc… The cocktails like the Gaucho Margarita which is not bad not watered down with too much ice, it comes with a side shot of Patron Tequila . The restaurant is a little on the pricey side but I had quality food and service so I didn’t mind paying for it.

Sat exactly at reservation time(arrived 10 minutes early)
Restaurant is very busy, birthdays , and even a marriage proposal. Lots of large parties with lots of happy people , celebrating a milestone or each other.
It stayed busy up until the time we left around 9:30PM, moderate music level, and even with all the large parties it was not difficult to carry a conversation at our table.
Lots of staff everywhere and server was kind and attentive enough.
One major knock for me is soda, tea, and lemonades are served in plastic bottles for almost $5 a pop. For $50 a person establishment this is was the only low point.
Ordered fried calamari, it came with 4 yucca fries, and some kind of purple onion topping. Portion was very large. My wife liked it , I didn’t care for it. Had a good taste and no smell, but calamari was soft. Not chewy mind you just soft. Not the way I like fried calamari.
The main course was fantastic! I had Trigoto a la huancaina wheat huancaina aji Amarillo sauce with entrana steak. Think a risotto covered in a pepper cream cheese sauce . It’s yellow but doesn’t taste like any yellow cheese I’ve had. It was amazing ! And skirt steak was not chewy. I don’t know how. it tasted flamed grilled and was perfect! It’s hard to see in the pic , easily could feed 3 people.
The wife had gauche entrana with beans and tostones. Excellent as well.
Atmosphere is Peruvian country and it works. It feels happy, warm, and inviting. Sure to be a long term Estero establishment. If our experience is typical I strongly recommend reservations even in the off season. We will be back !

First time dinning tonight after hearing great things about this little gem. Wow, what a great experience. The service was fabulous, the food was fast, fresh and flavorful. We asked lots of questions about the large menu and our host was happy to help explain the dishes. We tried the Pisco Sour tradition lemon. It was also very good. We will be returning to try more dishes and add this restaurant as a go to for us.

Tasteless food. Way too expensive for what…. Wow. 3 small meatballs… service was terrible… wow. Severely disappointed.
Edited*** because I can’t respond to the owners response. To the owner.. this is exactly the resturant I went into and bought this exact food. It’s not a mistake.

We were really excited to find this place! Came twice in just a few days for takeout only. Staff is friendly and the website is easy to order from. It’s beautiful inside and we definitely want to dine in soon.
For the food: ceviche is perfect! Wow – everything you want for the Peruvian ceviche. Takeout orders also come with bread and butter, which was a nice touch. We’ve tried several plates: empanadas, skirt steak, picanha, huancaina lomo saltado and the lomo saltado so far, and the skirt steak steals the show! Very delicious. Yuca and tostones are so crispy and complement the food perfectly.
We tried 3 different deserts and we appreciate the variety, but will probably try a few others to get to experience them all.
One thing I would recommend is the packaging for the ceviche always spills inside the bag, which hasn’t been a problem for us because we’re extra careful with it, but I do think a better container could be helpful, especially since the juices are so important to the dish!
Excited to come back!

Two weeks layer and I’m still craving this picanha!
Incredible grilled steaks. We had the Churrasco de Entraña Outside Skirt Steak, Picanha Steak, and Lomo. Each was great, but the picanha was amazing. The marinade had penetrated the meat to a perfect tenderness, but the balance of tang, garlic and umami was unlike any I have had.
The Incan up market decor gave the place a comfortable authentic warmth that was only surpassed by the kindness of our server, “Mable”.
We are already plotting the next visit.
This is a steak you will crave. Yearn for.

This place had a good vibe. It seems they have a very big following. The place got very busy as soon as we sat down. Our server was very professional and attentive. The food was very good and tasteful. The only thing that went wrong was that our steak was cold, but overall, it was good. We did mention it to our waiter, but nothing was done about it, not even the manager came over to apologize.

Celebrated our mom’s 80th birthday yesterday. This place went above and beyond to ensure it was a special moment for our family. The food is absolutely delicious. Thank you to Sylvia the owner and Julie our waitress for taking care of all the details.

We came all the way from Miami and honestly did not expect to find Peruvian food this incredible in Naples. El Gaucho Inca completely exceeded our expectations! Every dish was full of authentic flavor, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented, truly some of the best Peruvian food we’ve had.
It was so good that we ended up coming two nights in a row, that alone says everything. The quality, the flavors, and the overall experience were outstanding.
We will absolutely be coming back every time we are in Naples!
Highly, highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
