All I can say is don't ever go here if you're looking for quality food.By far the worst meal we've ever had!Starters were ok, ordered the black pudding and nachos. Nachos were just doritis and a bit of melted cheese and some salsa, sour cream and guacamole but fine. The wine was nice as was the margarita cocktail.Ordered 4 steaks medium rare. One came rare and to the others were so over done the meat was grey and so tough we could hardly cut them let alone actually chew them.Sent one steak back because it was so bad and the replacement was even worse. A half hearted apology from the waitress and no offer of anything being taken off the bill considering 3 out of the 4 main meals were hardly touched. $220 we had to pay for only eating the starters, 1 steak and the drinks. The owner of this restaurant should be ashamed of themselves!!Disgusting is an understatement!!!
We knew we were in the wrong place, the minute we arrived, but friends picked this venue, so we couldn't escape. Apparentely their target group is meat hungry men. All but us ordered some all you can eat meat fest. Our table ordered individual plates. It took ages to arrive. Drink orders in between were forgotten and when the food arrived, I was reluctant to eat. First of all on the menu most steaks were offered with chips, but we all got cheaper and easier to prepare potatoe salad. The green salad didn't look very fresh and my flank steak a la Portugesa was covered with cheap ready made grated cheese. After eating half of it a small bowl of soft, fat dripping chips arrived. And tomato sauce shouldn't be an extra $4... The single server couldn't care less.
My partner and I have eaten here quite a lot and love it every time! The staff are so welcoming and friendly. The food (I recommend the asado) is perfect every time and it's such a great atmosphere. We highly recommend El Gaucho!
The steaks were inedible. There was no one to deal with the issue except a very young waitress who was mortally embarrassed but unable to do anything about it. Whoever Cooked this meat had no idea what they were doing.
