Gaucho Grill

While in SoCal on business looking for a place to have dinner one of my colleagues suggested this place, being familiar with Argentinean steak houses I gladly went for it. I am very glad I did! A top notch classic Gaucho style steak house. We had their mixed grilled meat for three and found that it was enough food for 5 or 6! It was prepared very well, seasoned and cooked to perfection. Highly recommended. Look for Ernesto, he is a great server, you will be very well taken care of.

I have been here multiple times and I always try something new! It’s crazy how before covid they only had inside dining and now they have expanded to outside dining. Food is amazing specially their steak! Have not really tried their seafood part of it but it looks good. For the most part service is great and honestly at times it can be a hit or miss with the server. If your server is happy to be there then he/she will recommend you stuff from the menu which is something I love from staff. Meat is juicy and very tasteful. My favorite sides are their rice, papá ahumadas, and their mash potatoes! As for drinks I’ve tried them all they are very good my favorite will have to be the Old Fashioned. They are pretty popular with their Red Sangria and if you want something refreshing I would go with the Mercado or Strawberry Basil Margarita. They have their own Gaucho beers now fave is the IPA ones they use to offer their “otro mundo” beer but I guess not anymore since it’s not on the menu anymore. They even have their own little Mercado section where you can buy their flan, empanandas, beer, and whine.

The food was delicious we order Paella, fries, beef empanadas, chorizo soup, and a salad. The paella came with a side order sadly they never brought it lol also they forgot our soup. They do need to work on being more attentive to the customers making sure all items have been served. I also order a cocktail drink and I was not a fan of it. But overall the food was very good. They did charge the chorizo soup I kindly ask the waiter to please remove the item and update our order for us to pay and he did. I recommend the place the food is very delicious just make sure to check the receipt at the end of an item is missing. Overall, a good place to eat.

I had not been to Gaucho Grill since it opened. But yesterday I went in for lunch. I wasn't very hungry, as I'd had a big breakfast, but had a meeting there. The food was excellent, and the service was "spot on". The guy I was meeting with ordered for both of us, as I just didn't know what was the best. We started with bread with two different kinds of olive oil dips, then an exquisite shrimp "starter". We finished with a large salad with steak strips in it. Somehow they managed to keep the steak hot even on the salad and it was wonderful. We skipped desert, but all of it looked tempting. There was no hurry, as the staff simply took care of us while not being overbearing. This is one of Downey's best! Thanks for a great lunch!
