Empanada de Pollo al Horno
Giselle G.

First, I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a really long time but it is quite a commute from my home to this restaurant. So we finally decided to go and when we did; I just say we will definitely be back. The service was amazing Juliet was so nice,friendly and helpful. The place is also very family friendly which is a nice because sometimes restaurants are not child friendly. This place also had the heat going which is good as well because in the winter sometimes you are unable to eat at a comfortable temperature. Now the food; we ordered half a pitcher of red sangria and a paradilla with everything for one person. The paradilla was good and the sausage meat were also good. I would say it was lot of organ meat for us so next time we would do only the meat paradilla and add chorizo to it. In addition we ordered the boiled potatoes which were also good. We had the spinach cannoli and Imee had it with a mixed sauce. This dish was very good but for me the noodles were on the soft side but their pasta is homemade so I would try another pasta dish when I come back. The empanadas were really good and I liked the beef ones better than the chicken ones. This place was great and I would definitely come back.

Free Appetizer of Cheese, Salami and Tomatoes

This place was pretty awesome! I booked a large table the Tuesday after the World Cup, thought it would be a proper visit since Argentina ended up winning the World Cup so this was my homage to Argentina. The restaurant was comfortable and the food was cooked well, you could really smell the meat wafting through the air. I really enjoyed how well everything was cooked and those platters really are showstoppers. Their chimi was great, super flavorful and went really well with all the meat but later on I felt the chimi came off salty since I was chugging down water. The food: Empanadas de Carne al Horno- These baked empanadas were amazing, it was the item that surprised me the most. I tried the chicken version as well but the carne one was easily the better option. These had the perfect crust and I really enjoyed the filling. This is an absolute must! Ensalada El Gauchito- This was just to get some greens in the system. It was a good salad and I really liked the arugula but the menu said it was for 2 people, it really is more for 3 to be honest. We had a table of 7, we could have easily split 2 salads amongst our group. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=K6jEYuHDpEw7SygbtyrI2A&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Parillada Completa Para 2 Personas- This is kinda the beginner item to get at any Spanish steakhouse since it is a sample of just about everything. The Completa here was good and I thought the mix of items was great. My fav items on the mixed grill was the morcilla, the short rib, and the skirt steak. The chorizo was more simple than I was expecting and I thought it would have been more heavily spiced. The sweet bread was cooked well, it had a nice char on the outside for some added crunch, the kidney was better than expected, they were cleaned nicely and only had an innard funk upfront. The intestines were OK, didn't have a ton of flavor. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=gAveoe0_oyfyhawHpoDVzA&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Parillada Especial de 3- I thought this was the better item to get between this and the completa but it was also $40 more than the completa. This had a trio of meats from the strip loin, the skirt steak and the flap steak. I thought the strip loin was great, cooked well and tender. The skirt steak was excellent, super tender and great flavor, the flap steak was oddly easy to cut but I found to be more chewy than expected. I think this is the grill to get amongst 4 people. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Khlr54JtELnPj_3NOaPRjg&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Maduros- These were my fav side and easily some of the best Maduros I ever had and to top it off, they weren't oily at all as many times it is. This is a must get. Yuca Frita- These were great, they were friedly perfectly and they were so light. I also, loved the dipping sauce it came with. Papas Fritas- The fries were made well, nice and crunchy without being oily, these were so light and fluffy. I think for sides, the maduros, yuca frita, and papas fritas should all be ordered. Ensalada Russ- I was really excited to try this since I have had it at other Spanish steakhouses and the one here was kinda bland. I also didn't like how firm the potatoes were, normally there is a creaminess to the salad but this salad wasn't cohesive at all.

The review is for the butcher shop only: as we were in the area, we decided to swing by to try getting it's highly recommended skirts steak by my daughter and her boyfriend. I heard good reviews and been tasted it multiple times whenever daughter's boyfriend bring in the house to bbq. Just simply adding salt and pepper is what it needed and you'll love the taste of the juiciest and most tender meat you have ever tried. This Argentinian restaurant and butcher shop is a staple in Corona and I understand why. The cut is what makes this meat at high pricing level but every inch of the meat is well worth of each penny. What surprised me more is the price of the alfajores, it's a rip off. Will come back for the dining experience. I

Buenisimo! Came here on a Saturday night around 6 and was seated right away with a party of 7. I already knew what I wanted- la Parillada completa. It was excellent.

Appetizer cheese & ham I think. It's really good.
Bizzy B.

Amazing food for under $60 for two people. Fri sat n sun are busy. Food was great and service was great.

Mixed grill for two $68.89 on UberEATS. Lavish selection of meats & two sides. We added 2 empanadas. Don't forget the Argentinian Malbec.
Jalitza G.

What a feast! We used UberEATS to order an Argentinian Parrillada for two (mixed meat grill) to celebrate the Monsieur's birthday. This was our first time ever ordering a Parrillada for delivery so we were a bit nervous, but everything turned out perfect. The delivery time was reasonable and the packaging of our food was neat and efficient. The mixed grill includes a a lavish selection of meats: a variety of sausages, sweet bread, short tripe, short ribs, and skirt steak. You also get to choose the preparation of the meat (make sure to choose Medium Rare, I Promise you'll thank me later!). You'll get two sides, we chose the French fries and the Russian Salad. Also don't forget to add a few empanadas, they're so yummy! Overall the meal was festive, delicious and fun all in the privacy of our own home. The best part was that we had enough leftovers to last us for two meals. For $68.89 this is an absolute must.

I definitely recommend coming to this place for authentic Argentinian food! We had espadas as appetizers and they were delicious! A great start to our dinner. Next we order asado completo which came with a little of everything from meats, sausage, to blood sausages! All were delicious, however it was a lot of food. We left completely happy with filled stomachs. The ambiance is a classic Argentinian restaurant which means small but with great music and service. I definitely recommend people trying for a Argentinian cuisine.

I've been coming here for about 15 years and after all these years this is still my favorite Argentine restaurant and butcher if you want to BBQ. That said, after weeks of not eating out due to COVID and going in to order meat to cook to go I was reminded how great their food and especially morcilla is!!! This made my day and they were so nice and I got to take empanadas to go as well that were pre-made ; 6 empanadas for $6, chimi meat sausage and entraña and everything was so fresh! When you eat there, the bread is always fresh and they give you a nice free app of tomato cheese and salami with a side of wine and their parrillada is a perfect lunch !

I've been on a search for a really good skirt steak ever since our favorite steakhouse closed down. Found this place online via reviews and decided to give them a try. I didn't actually visit the restaurant so this review is really only for the food. Ordered from there twice so far via Door Dash and both times everything was good. Food was packaged nicely so no spills and the delivery was quick so food was still hot which of course is great. The food was delicious. So far tried the pork chops, skirt steak, and the shrimp and rice. Everything was cooked perfect and tasted great. Also tried the fried provolone from the apps and that was really good as well. We'll have to try out eating there soon as well.

Their Corona, Queens location

My wife and I have been introduced to skirt steak by the boyfriend of my daughter and this is where he gets his skirt steaks. Today we visited this Argentinian place and bought some top quality skirt steaks and spicy sausages. The seller was very nice and accommodated us very well, the place is a combination butcher shop at the back and a restaurant at the front. I have tremendously enjoyed their grilled steak whenever my daughter and her boyfriend brings it for dinner. Now my wife and I are hooked to skirt steak because of this place. I recommend this place for anyone planning to buy top quality beef with Argentine-style cuts for grilling. They have a business location at Corona, Queens and at Fresh meadows, Queens.

Hair found in the food
Michela C.

I ordered delivery several time from this restaurant and about a month ago i found a hair in the food but i wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt since mistakes can happen. Unfortunately, now it is the second time that i received again their food with hair and it makes me doubt the overall cleanliness of the establishment. Very disappointed

On the house, so good

After driving pass El Gauchito numerous times, we finally decided to give it a try as it appeared ideal to satisfy our steak craving. Parking around that area is terrible, be prepared to drive around. When we entered the restaurant at around 2 pm the place was packed. We were greeted by a very nice gentleman and seated immediately. Before I go onto to the food, it's imperative that I mentioned their outstanding customer service. We were waited on by basically anyone who walked passed us, which ends up working out because someone is constantly checking in on the table. We were very impressed with how courteous and attentive everyone is. Now onto the food: Skirt steak with side of sweet plantains: skirt steak is a huge portions, seasoned and cooked to perfection. Chicken milanesa with ham and cheese: such a large portion, the chicken is breaded, ALOT of cheese, too much for me, ideal for a cheese lover, this came with rice and black beans, the black beans were delish. Sides: cream cauliflower, so this is delicious but prob 1 million calories, def a good appetizer to share. We also got a side of fries which were crispy. They give you this delicious bread and tomatoes and cheese with pesto sauce as a starters. This was AMAZING! Overall we had a great Sunday lunch and we look for arc to coming back here! Keep up the good work Gauchito!

The steak was delicious, the food tasted fresh, and the salad was great. The décor feels a bit outdated, but the service was good.

There are plenty of seats but during the weekends they fill up quickly. I would just recommend coming in earlier. Really enjoyed their strawberry matcha latte and banana latte. The matcha had a strong creamy flavor that complimented the strawberry flavor very well. Judging from the color, it was definitely a decent quality matcha. The hot banana latte was not too sweet and really impressed me with the taste. It wasn't artificial and was very comforting on a colder day. I also tried the oolong tea cheesecake. The texture was moist and the perfect density for a cheesecake. While the tea flavor was light, I would get it again. Excited to try out their other drinks, they also have a selection of desserts like the tiramisu that will sell out quickly.

The sandwich was good but nothing special. Great cafe but more savory selection.

They really live up to their name of the restaurant (Little skewers). There were barely any meats in the pork belly skewers. The hot plate doesnt really work. The lamb skewers were not hot when it is sitting there for more than 30 minutes. Lamn skewers aren't that good. Potato twirls is the best, with fish tofu the 2nd best.

The soup blew me away. One sip and my roommate and I gave each other the "oh my god" look. The soup was well seasoned, mildly spicy, savory, and somehow creamy. I genuinely think this is the best soup I've had in New York so far. Out of all the skewers, I'd order the lamb belly again. The skewers had little meat and half of it was tough. However, they were well seasoned. The spiral potato was coated in a savory garlic sauce, and just plain perfection. Only reason why I knocked little skewer off a star is because the skewers are not that great. But the soup and spiral potato is a standout. I will definitely be back to get those two items!
