This is a restaurant with the most lovely owners I've met anywhere near…read more Always paying attention if you still have something to drink or if you need a new beer for example. The idea with the small menu, written inside on the wall, is really nice and you can be sure that you always have fresh made food. During the summer time they have some seats available outside in front of the restaurant, and beeing surrounded by cars makes the name of the location more understandable :). The cars don't disturb you anyhow, they are simply there but not bothering you at all. When it's cold outside you better grab the phone and make a reservation, otherwise you might have bad luck with finding an available table. If you are lucky, then you an meet friendly bikers with their amazing bikes or you can see old cars which are driven by friends of the owners. I simply love this place and I can't do anything more then recommend this to everybody who likes a good burger, steak or only salad.

Medium rare top to bottom, end to end. The aged "luma" entrecôte was fantastic. I will say though that I was expecting the ribeye which is traditional entrecôte but they serve the strip.

We were visiting Basel on a vacation to Switzerland, and decided to take a tram across the border…read moreto Germany. We happened upon this restaurant just off the tram stop (tram 8). So glad we did! It was by far the best meal we had during our whole trip. The steaks were very high quality and delicious. Even the steak on the children's menu was excellent (and not over-cooked like they can be on children's menus at restaurants in the US). The side dishes were also very good, as was the wine. Because we were in Germany, the price was half of what we would have paid just over the border. I travel to Basel regularly and plan to visit Mendoza Steakhouse often.

Chips, onions & baked potato were all well cooked and the toppings for the bread were fresh and varied (the red one being properly spicy). Apparently there's a better steak house a couple of stops further up the railway line but no chance of me making a visit there any time soon so for now El Gaucho is the top choice in the area. Made it back here last weekend and things were up to the same level generally although the grilled onions were over-salted. The cucumber salad (ordered in error) was as it turned out a welcome change as a starter.

A proper steak needs to be professionally aged so it doesn't feel like a shoe sole cut off a cow an hour ago. That's what one pays a premium for, it has to bite like butter. I guess it's good training for your jaw muscles but the Gaucho guys are either cheap and get away with it without competition or just not allowed to get the good stuff. The rest of the meal and general preparation was OK but stay away from medium rare and lower...
