    Chimichurri Tri-Tip
    Anthony A.

    I was a little torn on my feeling about this restaurant. I had the Chimichurri Tri-Tip. This comes in a sandwich form. Now the Tri tip meat and Churri sauce was outstanding. The meat is cooked to a medium rare. Great cuts of meat. The size of the sandwich is on the small side. It cost about $18 for a sandwich that can fit in a ziplock bag. I also had a. Beef empanada. This empanada is filled with deliciously seasoned ground beef. The inside tastes great. Now the outside was not to my liking. As a Latino. I expect a crisp outside of an empanada. This had more of a doughy texture. Not sure if I would come back. As I am also not big on bread.

    My friend and I really enjoyed the chimichurri tri tip! The order system on your phone at the windmill food hall made service quick and easy. You can choose where to sit at the food hall, however it's a very casual ambiance.

    Stopped by the Windmill food courts for a late lunch. Ordered from several food stall. I was intrigued about the sampler: Tri-Tip w/ chimichurri sauce, Picanha w/ gaucho sauce, NY steak w/ creamy mushroom sauce. The serving was all served in one box. The way that the meat was chopped it was hard to distinguish if the cuts of beef was what was on the menu. The beef was cooked closer to medium well and so it was a bit dry and tough. Thankfully there were the sauces to pair with the meat. The food court was loud and busy. The stall is tucked in the back and so that may have been the reason that I didn't see someone available to take my order initially. I rang the bell but maybe it was drowned out by the busy food court. It took me several walk by to finally place my order.

    First off, the Windmill Food Hall is just a fun place to be. Great with a group, lots of energy, and a solid mix of food stalls. But Asado Gaucho deserves its own moment. And yes, I saw the negative reviews. Here's my positive retort. The food was outstanding. This is not some mystery meat sandwich situation. It's real steak. Tri-tip. Cooked medium with actual flavor. It's the kind of sandwich you break apart, eat with your hands, and get a little messy with. Steak in one hand, bread in the other, maybe a swipe of chimichurri in between. That's how you do it. The bread was crispy and light, and that chimichurri sauce deserves its own applause. The empanada was also a highlight. Flaky outside, flavorful inside, the kind you immediately regret not ordering two of. And let's be real. Seventeen bucks for a real steak sandwich in 2025 is a win. I've dropped that much at Jersey Mike's and didn't get half the flavor or the experience. This place is doing it right. I'll be back, hands ready.

    Argentinian Grill Comes to the Windmill Food Court Never had the pleasure of having Argentinian grilled meats, but I went in for lunch, and I was not disappointed by this latest offering at the Windmill. Originally a catering company only, this new sandwich joint looks authentic with all of the dark wood and the video of beautiful beef footage, and the gaucho running the register. While menu pics are still pending along with any drinks, I can report very friendly and helpful service in helping select a couple delicious food items... Tri-Tip Sandwich. Chimichurri with sliced tri-tip underneath melted mozz on a baguette? Sign me up! This tasty sammy was actually not dry, cheesy, and had some tender meats. Chimichurri was not too salty like some folks do it. You didn't have to try real hard to eat it like some awful steak sandwiches, and bread was nice and soft, making for a pleasant chewing experience. Possibly consider extra chimichurri for some extra punch along with extra cheese. Recommended item. The fries! Imagine a near copycat McDonald's without too much salt with a tasty aioli (really mayo and chipotle blend). Crispy, too. What a treat that pairs nicely with the tri-tip sandwich. You can actually unlock a couple good food combos here: (1) dip the sandwich in the sauce and (2) place the fries underneath your sandwich as you bite into to allow the drippings to add some more fatty flavor to the fries. Definite recommend. Overall, a very satisfying and South American grilled meats sando experience that is definitely worth walking to the back of the food court for. Nothing else quite like it here or in the area. Give it a try, and tell me I'm wrong.

    My girls are hard to please but they were super excited to go back the next day. As was I.

    Choripán
    Julio G.

    Tried the choripán at Asado Gaucho. It came with chimichurri and salsa criolla. The chorizo was good (more like a sausage, for those who don't know), but the bread was basically two pieces and got soggy fast from the salsa criolla. It fell apart immediately. Very messy. The chimichurri and salsa criolla were okay, not the best I've had. I've been to Argentina, so I know how good an authentic choripán can be. Still, Argentine food is hard to find around here, so I wouldn't rate it too low. I'd recommend it to friends just to try something different. The service was cordial, no problems there.

    Absolutely terrible Argentine meat experience. The steak arrived fridge-cold inside while the outside was overcooked and burned, uneven and inedible. Sauce was way too salty, ruining any flavor. Worst asado I've ever had. Stay far away from this place!

    I've worked as a chef at times, so when I go out I often spend my hard earned cash on disappointment. Today, my expectations were exceeded. Phenomenal sandwich. Love what ya'll are doin!

    Chimi Steak!

    I was in Buenos Aires last winter so I got super excited when I saw this spot, and nervous that it wouldn't stand up to my unwarranted expectations... They recommended the Chimichuri Tri-Tip and I was definitely ready to critique this thing. It was SO freaking delicious. Flavor of steak was amazing, super fresh baguette and excellent Chimichuri sauce! I will definitely be coming back! I want to try the Chori Pan!

Also the atmosphere of the food hall was chaotic and noisy with kids running all over the place. Seating was first come first serve and the place was packed so we had to circle around a couple of times before finding a table that was just vacated. The one positive was the people working the hall and clearing the tables were helpful and friendly. Honestly, do yourself a favor and skip this place and go further south on Paseo Norte Rd to the Green Dragon Tavern just on the other side of Palomar Airport Rd. The food was so much better and the atmosphere of the place was so relaxing and made the entire dining experience so pleasant.

I compared their regular butter croissant with other "French" ones, and this one wins by a huge margin: airy, fluffy, just enough sweetness. They recently expanded in their main location, now you can get a sandwich, coffee and pizza. They also collaborate with other local vendors and you can find some unique items in their fridge. The vibe is so cool too. Friendly, chill, California style. Highly recommend this place, or their other locations.
