This is my favorite places in town to have authentic Argentinian barbeque. They bring to the table warm bread with a plate of cheese, prosciutto, tomatoes, olive oil and some spices, really delicious and is courtesy of the house. I will recommend parrillada which bring different cuts of beef, sausages and sweetbread everything perfectly cooked and tasting fantastic. I love the fried yuca and their potato salad. Don't forget to try their chimichurri. I will recommend this places to anybody who love beef. read more

Been coming here for years! Definitely the best parrillada I've ever had. I always order the "parrillada para dos" which is meant for two people, but it really feeds 4 people. The chimichurri is also the best I've ever had. It goes great with all the meat dishes. Would definitely recommend!! read more

El Gauchito - Parrillada para dos - Argentine Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

Having just returned from Argentina we went this past weekend with friends who had just returned from Uruguay. We brought our own Chilean wine. We had a variety of starters and main courses and desserts. The food was excellent - in particular the provoleta, matambre, entrana, and costillos. Service was prompt and friendly as was the maitre d. Very informal, lots of kids, packed (it was Saturday night after all). We also bought some meat to take home from the butcher in the store. Really worth the trip. read more

Great food, steak is always cooked perfectly and the chimi sauce is amazing. I can eat the ham and cheese appetizer as a meal that's how good it is. But everything is always amazing, I haven't gotten anything that has been disappointing. My family always comes here and it's probably always full on game days and weekends. There are two parts and two floors if I'm not mistaken. You can also buy fresh meat from their butcher. I would recommend if you are craving steak, this would be the place to go. And all the painted tiles of famous people is adorable, great to look at. read more

Horrible food. Horrible service! The waiter was not attentive, served lukewarm beverages with no ice and the food prices were ridiculous. They serve the kids beverages in small coffee cups and have the nerve to charge $3!! A can of Coke was $3.50! The waiter gave himself a tip by pencilling it in himself! After having a space for suggested tip percentage! What??!!! I will never ever come here again! First and last time! Disgusted and disappointed! Smh! read more

The food is great. the owners are awesome ! i love the gnocchi here, the complimentary appetizer and the asado of course. I expect the prices to be what they are because of the great steaks! I've been coming here since i was a little girl with my argentinian side of the family' read more

Skirt steak sandwich (entrena) is top notch

My family has been coming here for years. The restaurant is OK, but the best part about this place is the butcher shop, where you can find all kinds of delicious meats, sausages for a great BBQ. I would recommend you to buy the meat and take it to cook, rather than the restaurant, which is obviously less expensive and you get to choose exactly what meat you want. read more

Good service and the food is worth the wait. It seems a bit short staffed but otherwise really considerate.

The parrillada is amazing. I usually come eat here when I'm in a mood for steak. It's one of my favorite places to go to when I crave a medium rare steak. Just talking about it makes me hungry lol read more

A mini Argentinian store also! We were looking for some authentic Yerba mate, straw and container and they had it! So happy we found this place. Very friendly and helpful staff. Real Argentinians work here! read more

Food is always great especially skirt steak Finnish with churros covered with dulce de leche

My boyfriend took me there for Mother's Day yesterday. It was recommended by a co-worker of his. We loved it. The food was GREAT.

I love their meat market. The marinated chicken breast and legs are amazing.. So is is their entrana,I actually order it on the phone come and pick it up freeze it and take to Florida when I go to visit my children... they thought i was crazy until they tasted the chicken n meat the service is amazing. Real old school. Best place to buy meat.. read more

Was in the mood for Argentinian STEAK without breaking the bank; this place hit the spot. Everyone IN MY GROUP OF 4 AGREED ON THIS - NOT SALTY AT ALL AND VERY NATURALLY FLAVORFUL. Ordered the following. Red Sangria - just enough buzz for all of us. Morcilla - perfect - very yummy and not dry or too oily. Future Morcilla will be judged against this. Antipasto - very flavorful - the tongue was very soft. not too vinegary. Skirt steak - so soft and tender this meat; very tasty as well. Fries - best fries in a long time. rice and beans - so and so - but beans was not salty. tres leches - very delicate this cake; very flavorful as well. vanilla pudding - not too sweet; just the way we like it. cappuccino - wish they had liquor 43 to add to it. Will definitely go back here in the future; hope foodies do not discover this place or it will be pack always - it gets busy enough with the locals as it is. I give it 5 stars because all the dishes were not Salty - as opposed to those dishes that has too much salt to give it flavor. Service was attentive enough - even tho soccer was on and staff was watching it. read more

Very good food and service. Place ambiance is very nice. I think is a little pricy for the location but still worth it.

I went to have a "parrillada" with my family this past Sunday because the other Argentinian restaurant Boca Juniors was closed ,,,we sat down and we order, 2 meat empanadas for starter, a parrillada for 2 and a kid menu which consisted in chicken cutlet and mashed potatoes. After a relative short wait we got the empanadas, but instead of meat they brought us chicken, we send them back , we then received the meat empanadas ( ICE COLD),we didn't complaint since I have been a customer to this place since 2003,,finally the food arrived, my kid got fries instead of the mashed potatoes,we send it back,,,when we started to eat my wife noticed the meat was so raw that was almost impossible to cut it, the kidneys , sweetbreads and chorizo where so raw that where bleeding!!,Im from Argentina and a very avid at the grill, and I know How dangerous could be to eat raw kidneys and sweetbread!!, not to mention the sausage, I called the waiter and far for creating a scene my intention was to point the "chef??" on the dangerous of serving this kind of staples Raw to the public!!, before we left the place to NEVER come back I have a little chat to the owner and his son who far for worried about my awful experience eating meat dipped in grease he was more worried about if I were still want to take home a dozen of empanadas I told him I was planing to take to Connecticut in my way out, off course I say I don't want to take any more chances with this greasy place and we left. At the moment we were there , there were like 5 tables with customers so is not that there were crazy busy,,, Chau Gauchito!! you have seen better times in the past, for me is a Never Go Back Place You have been warned Pablo R. read more

This is my second time eating at this place,the food is good really good(salmon) my god love it. And the girls. Take good care of you but. At the end. They allways. Messed it up. We. Had to wait a litle bit. For a dessert. And the male hostes. Ask us if we were looking. At. The ships. Going by. Sarcastically, and when we finally. Got the tres leches cake. On our way out. The hosted. Bassically force my wife for a hand shake. They need. To better train. The workers. read more

Not good. We always get steak and the meat was tough. You can get better Argentinean food across the street at La Esquina Criolla.

Horrible service! If you feel like you want to get ignored go here. Definitely not worth the aggravation.

this place is the best place to go to for authentic, Argentinian steak~ my friend, who was born in Argentina, is madly in love with this place and really likes the food here. the asado and skirtsteak is so good :) it's kindof hard to find, and parking is tough (it's a busy local area) and i think half the restaurant is like a butcher shop lol yea, it definitely doesn't look all that glamorous, but the taste makes up for it. weeeeee go go go~ read more

the food is good if grilled, the rest not very good, worst bartender, or at least that we play, only to identify, not Argentine. and the other ugly music of the place, beyond the style of music heard three times the Peronist march, as expresses restaurant their political ideologies, which is fine with me I express my opinion, I find it regrettable continuous repetition of the Peronist march , which I think some discomfort in the group which were meeting. read more

Waiters were not friendly at all. I didn't a get a side order I asked for and they still charged me for it. The girl waiter was so not interested on us didn't make us feel welcome ever since that we have never gone back ! Bad service. I recommend the restaurant across the street in the corner which is so good with great service ! Guachito isn't my place anymore don't go here and get charged for no reason ! read more

Had lunch with a couple of friends. I ordered the Steak, Veal & Short ribs combo. I'm sorry to say that the meat was Tough. Taste, portion size and variety were fine if only the meat were not so tough. Tough to my standards are surely different to those who wrote reviews. The place was very clean including the restroom, service was excellent. I wish I could rate it 5 Stars. Suggestion to the owner: tenderizing meat is not a difficult process and a meat tumbler can be purchase used at a reasonable price. I would love to come back. read more

Sometimes the wait is a little long but the food is totally worth it... entraña is to die for. Best chimichurri Ive tried. How ever wait staff has not been that great last two times I went.. read more

HANDS DOWN one of the best steaks I've had and the price is nothing to complain about. Their homemade sangria is as they say, "off the chain". Service is excellent and also that tea with the leaves which I am having trouble remembering the name of is also a great thing to try. Recommended! read more

Food deserves 5 stars. But the service deserves none. It was simply horrible and unprofessional. We literally waited forever for drinks and for our order to be taken not to mention having her completely ignore us while she looked right at us as we waved to her.. to the point that another waiter came over to apologize as we asked for the check. Then had the audacity to remind us she works for 15% tip after we gave her exactly what she deserved. Unbelievable. I suggest you take your order to go. read more

Best and most authentic Argentinean restaurant in New York, and I have been to all others. Almost like being in Buenos Aires and 2 can eat ordering the parrillada for 1. It's very inexpensive and they have a butcher shop inside and a "despensa" where they sell all sorts of food products from Argentina. read more

Came here for friends birthday, 5 people party. We were seated promptly. Waited 5-10 minutes just to get water and bread to the tables. Waiter took just as long to ask for drinks and appetizers. We decided to just order main entrees. All the steaks were undercooked, my friend ordered his well done and it came bloody. All 5 of us felt the same. The worst part of the night came when the check came. They added a 20% gratuity automatically to total and written on the top. First time I've been to restaurant where tip was forced down my throat. Unfortunately will not be coming back. read more

I have been shopping at this butcher for years and it seems this place is getting more popular by the minute. I travel out from New Jersey (45 minutes with no traffic) just for these cuts. The traditional Sausages and two finger size Bife de Chorizo cuts are as close as you can get to the chops from Argentina. The steaks are easy to grill to perfection. Put on your favorite Tango music (Gardel or Hugo) and perhaps drink a Quilmes Beer or Malbec as you grill and your set! The Chimmi Churri is not too spicy...just perfect. Was talking to the owner today, and extremely friendly person. Nothing more for me to say. I support this place. (Cross the street for the Facturas -your waaaaaay good to go). Save steaks, don't invite your neighbors. Caio, H read more

Worst experience EVER. I went to have dinner wth my husband and they sat us all the way at the end where it was freezing. We had to ask to be seated elsewhere and while the waitress did, she showed an attitude while doing it. We ordered and it took forever. The sides were so small we had to get an extra side. We ordered a parrillada. Some of the meat were burnt- yet cold. To top it off, while we were having our meal, a roach appeared out of nowhere. Instead of the waiters getting rid of it, they stood and began to say stupid things such as "es la mascota del restaurante," its the restaurant's pet- in english. One of the waiters came and shoved my husband without apologizing to step on the roach. No one disinfected the area. We had to bring it to the attention of the waitress that was in charge of, not only our table, but was also in charge of 7 other tables while there were about 4 male waiters standing there doing nothing and making fun of the incident. The manager never apprached us, nor apologized and we were charged full price for an infested meal. Never have i had such a horrible and disgusting experience at a restaurant in Queens. Definitely not ever going back. read more

Food is excellent, service was good and overall had a good dining experience with my family that came from VA that was looking for some good Argentine food. Thank you. read more

Having been to (and spent a considerable amount of time in) Argentina, I can confidently say that this restaurant is basically as good as it gets. If I didn't know any better I would have thought that I was actually back in Buenos Aires. If you are looking for authentic Argentine food, then look no further. Just make sure you know a little bit of Spanish before you go because you will need it. :) read more

When did it become acceptable that the waiter decides for the customer the percentage of tip he receives for waiting on them? Good food, but very bad business! Shame on you. read more

Unless you are in Argentina or Miami, this will be your most authentic and (I mean it!) affordable Argentinean gourmet experience. There are so many generic steak houses out there posing as Argentine, as well as overpriced pretentious joints that have nothing to do with the hospitable, delicious, joyful world of Argentinean cuisine/dining - as far as the European element of it as well as the more traditional, provincial one. The parillada is amazing and arguably, the most affordable I have had in the States (especially with the usually stratospheric NYC prices), the service is rather prompt (considering they are almost always packed) and very friendly. It is a place to not pretend, but to just BE and experience the "joie de vivre". The desserts are out of this world amazing, and - now if you know Argentinean, and in particular porteño stuff, you will be thrilled to be offered the legendary "postre vigilante" - something I never, but NEVER was able to find in the US. This place comes the closest possible to the true Argentinean experience, almost literally transporting you to a barrio in Buenos Aires, helping one discover it, and the other - nostalgically re-live it. I absolutely recommend this gem. Hurry before it gets ruined by the awesome world of mouth and the "hipster attack". read more

From their Service to their products, this place is simply amazing. Marcelo and Carlos really know how to work with people and they are always willing and able to help. The meat is absolutely top notch. I love to go there even when I have to drive 45 minutes to get their. Like having my old argentinean butcher right there even being far away. read more

Very disappointing. I brought my Argentine father here for his birthday. Although he enjoyed it, I wasn't very happy. I came here twice 2 years ago and really liked this place, but I'm not sure what has happened since then. First, service was a DISASTER. Our waiter first annoyed me when he took the order of a table next to us that arrived AFTER us, just because they were "friends" of the manager. Plain rude. We were finally acknowledged over 10 minutes later after being seated. Second, he was very jumpy and quick. Especially quick to run away. We'd be in the middle of ordering and he'd walk away to go do something else! We also had to repeatedly ask him for things! I felt like I was in a madhouse. Waiters were running around like chickens with their heads cut off. They were taking orders, running food, making drinks, making desserts, etc. There was just too much going on. I understand it was a busy Saturday night and we were a party of 7, however I've experienced better service under busier conditions. Management really needs to do something about it. Get bus boys to relieve the stress off of your waiters! Second, the food. The meat from the parillada was the most disappointing! It was basically all FAT and bone. VERY poor quality! The meat empanadas are honestly the only thing worth coming here for. We made the long drive down here from Westchester and were left disappointed. read more

Great food and people, every trip to NY I mame a time to visite this authentic Argentinean restaurant. You should try the Polenta Bolognese and the Menbrilio y queso!! read more

I always go here with my family, it has become our go to spot because we are never disappointed. It has the best may and chimichurri, and surprisingly great fries. We always order the white sangriaand its usually good too. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

restaurant - 4* but you have to go to the butcher's shop at the back to enter the real paradise. you cannot find better meat than that anywhere in new york (at least not for this price!). steaks, ribs, sausages - anything you can imagine. if you're placing large orders it's no problem at all either - last time a walked out with 25lb of hanger steaks without any prior notice!! read more
