    I didn't even notice this place until my friend mentioned it after we went to Potbellies. It's hidden in the back corner of the same building, but I could smell it before I saw it. It smells amazing. I came in and ordered take out. There were a couple of tables occupied, and they let me sit at a table and offered me a drink while I looked at the menu. I got water and a refill while I was there -- super nice since I had come from the gym. The food was packaged well, and it was warm when I got back to my place. Everything was flavorful. I tried a few things. I was told that 3 empanadas usually suffice for dinner. I wanted to try 1 and tacos. Both were amazing. The provoleta (melted provolone with bread) was very good. And I had no idea flan was always missing dulce de leche this entire time. It brought flan up a notch, and I love flan. I will definitely be back to try more things. The steaks sounded amazing, and I want to try more of the empanadas. I had the Beef Argentine empanada. I loved how flavorful it was, and their chimichurri was delicious.

    After two visits, including dinner tonight, I'm ready to review this excellent restaurant! The menu features Argentinian dishes with a few Uruguayan dishes, as well. I stopped several months ago for lunch and enjoyed a delicious Choripan sandwich and a beef Arabe meat pie. I knew I had to return for dinner to try more. Tonight, I went back with a friend and received a little help with menu options from our awesome server, Millie! We started with a Mango Passionfruit Margarita Mocktail, which was outstanding! Then we shared the Tortilla de Papa and the Uruguayan Pascualina Tarta, filled with spinach and egg and seasoned with amazing spices! I ordered the Tira de Asada as my entree and chose the Argentine potato salad with peas, carrots, and mayo. My grilled bone-in rib was perfectly seasoned and cooked to medium rare, as requested. My friend enjoyed her empanadas, especially the spinach and cheese and the Humitas, which was filled with creamy corn pudding, onions, and cheese. We shared the chicken empanada, and it was amazing! I loved the crispy shell, tender shredded chicken and flavorful spices and marinade used for the chicken. Highly recommend it! For dessert, we shared the recommended Alfajor, which is a cookie sandwich with a dulce de leche filling and rolled in coconut. It was a great way to end a perfect dinner experience! They added Tuesday to their hours of operation recently, and you can make reservations on their website, which is especially recommended for weekend dinners. They often have live music and Argentine Tango dancing! I highly recommend this excellent restaurant!

    Am amazing authentic Argentinian restuarant! Tucked away in the back of a plaza, it was almost hard to find because it's the last business in the corner. Very no frills interior with argentinian flags along the wall and a cute backdrop at the entrance. I was starving when I came in initially (was ready to go for some AYCE bbq) so we may have over-ordered but I'm so glad I got to try all the things! We came on a friday and they were having a margarita special for $6, or $7 for the spicy ones. We got chile mango (which was delicious AND quite spicy!) and the hibiscus (sweet and floral). For the food: MOLLEJAS/sweetbreads: I still don't understand why this dish is called sweetbreads because I can only picture bread but wow these were tender and full of flavor. Apparently it's hard to find places that serve sweetbreads so we were very pleased with being able to have it here PAPAS A LA PROVENZAL: crispy fries with parsley and garlic, I didn't expect much but these were SO GOOD. The level of crispy and seasoning really crushed it. And I always love a good side of fries!! EMPANADAS: We tried the beef argentine and humitas (creamy corn). Honestly not a fan, not sure if it was because we came later in the evening but the breading tasted hard PARILLA ASADO: This was the combo platter of meat (sweetbreads, short rib, sausage, blood sausage, ribeye, chicken) and it was AMAZING. Highly recommend. We got the dish for 2 which came with 2 of everything and it was probably too much considering everything else we got. All of the meats were delicious. We didn't get any additional sauce with it and it was flavorful enough on its own. I wasn't a big fan of the chicken but all the other meats were juicy and tender. Comes with a side and we got the potato salad. ALFAJOR: not sure why we got dessert when we were so full but their dessert menu looked so yummy! This was dessert sandwich with sugar bread/cookie and dulce de leche in the middle. It was a little too sweet/dry for me but my partner loved it. The service was top notch as well, our server was so funny and kind, checked in on us just enough and gave great recommendations. We also ran into my partner's colleague who is Argentinian so I'm definitely labeling this place as quite authentic!

    I will say I think I have to try this place again because there are so many fine reviews, my experience could be a 1 off. When my friend and I got a table, we sat a far ways away from the door. The entire time I was at the restaurant, I felt uncomfortably chilly even while wearing a sweater. My friend and I each ordered three empanadas of variety. I ordered a Beef Argentine, Mushroom & Cheese, and Humitas. Each bite had a very doughy taste, which overpowered the flavor of the filling. I wish there was more filling in the empanada.The mushroom veggie empanadas were probably my favorite overall. I was a bit underwhelmed with the dessert as well. The Chaja cake was tasty but not something to crave. I will say I was thoroughly happy with my drink of choice. If you like spicy drinks, I highly recommend the spicy chili mango margarita!

    Excuse the picture. We dove into the food before I thought to take one!

    First time visit! Ambiance was enjoyable...Food was great, service was great... only critique the taco tortillas were a little tough...we'll definitely go back ! Empanadas were delicious!

    Chivito Al Plato (Uruguayan tenderloin, baked ham, bacon, mozzarella, and a an over easy egg. Along with fries, potato salad, and a salad.

    Stopped by the El Gaucho Grill for the first time on a beautiful afternoon and ate lunch on their patio. Great music and the service was quick, friendly, and she answered all my Argentinian food questions! The food itself was fantastic. Perfect over easy egg to cut over the tenderloin. (Pic attached) The tenderloin had solid flavors and overall a nice cut of meat with a good portion size. The potato salad and mixed green salad were both nice additives to the main meal. The fries were fantastic - even with the tenderloin and egg on top of them they had a nice golden crisp to them. Rating 5/5 - fantastic meal and I'll be back again. I recommend you stop by! I'm looking forward to trying some more of their dishes!

    The dining was a great experience. As a new restaurant it's still working out it's service flow, but one thing for sure - the chef has the food sorted out and it was delicious. This really is a 4 1/2 star review and they will be a 5 by the next visit I'm sure. We enjoyed the Arabes and Caprese empanadas for appetizers, sangria, and the Parrillada Asado for 1 with the sautéed vegetables (which was plenty for 2). Tony and his team have a gem in the making. It was a real treat dining at El Gaucho Grill.

    Traveled to Milwaukee from Atlanta for training and found this restaurant with amazing food and superb service!! Please come support them!

    Sangria
    Billa R.

    Get here before this place is found out! We started off with a picture of sangria. It was very good. For dinner my family ordered empanadas and I ordered a rib eye steak. The steak was one of the best I've had. Simply delicious! If we were to do it again, we would order a dozen of the empanadas and order a variety. We had 5 different ones and they were all great. Everyone shared everything. The Humatis empanada was my favorite. Tony is the owner and he was sure to check that everything was perfect (it really was). For desert we ordered a flan with dolce and alfajore. Both were delicious and home made. Be sure to save room and order desert! We will absolutely be back with friends! Sorry for the photo's.. we couldn't wait to dig in.

    Date of visit: February 21, 2025…read more Loup is a wonderful little gem that I came across (with a little help from Yelp, of course!) in the Wauwatosa village during one of my monthly lunch excursions with a friend from work and you should definitely check it out. While a tiny place, you're greeted with a wonderful smell as soon as you open the door, embracing your nose like a warm hug. Service was great! Staff was efficient and offered great suggestions, such as when I wanted the grilled cheese but I am not a fan of pepperjack and it was offered to add in some mozzarella instead of the pepperjack and it was not only a thoughtful suggestion, it was an amazing sandwich! I did a combo with the ginger carrot soup and it definitely had the ginger kick but was not too potent for me and I appreciated the suggestion from staff to try this one. Just a couple small quibbles that prevented Loup from getting five stars: - There were no croutons, crackers, or bread served with the soup. That is a must for me and something that can be easily corrected. - The M&M cookie--while quite large--was not great, especially for $4. It's my husband's favorite kind of cookie and he only had about a third of it before passing it on to me. I ended up having it at home with milk (which helped) but it was overall a disappointing and expensive dessert.

    A friend of mine recently moved to Wauwatosa, and I wanted to take her out to lunch on a Thursday…read moresomeplace a little nicer than the normal lunch spot, since we were celebrating her move to her new place. I searched on Yelp and came across Parkside 23. It sounded perfect. When we pulled into the parking lot, it was very crowded. I called in to the restaurant to make sure they'd have room for us, and was told that yes, they had just had a cancellation for a table for two, so come on in. We did, and we were seated almost immediately. From the minute we walked in the restaurant, everything was perfect. Hostess Heidi was lovely, our server Sara was amazing, and the food was incredible. My friend had the meatloaf, and crème brûlée for dessert. She said both were great. She's not a drinker, but did have a couple Shirley Temples, which were perfect. I have the pretzel crusted veal with spaetzel. I asked for them to hold the asparagus, which is usually cut up in the spaetzel along with mushrooms and onions, and they did it perfectly. The veal was especially amazing, and the spaetzel was very good, too. I tried the Mr Manhattan, and had another one as my dessert. I'm always delighted when my usual craft cocktail is one of their classics on the menu. It was well-made, if a bit small for the price point. We've already decided that this will be our go-to place for lunch whenever I travel up from Chicago to visit my friend. I'm also making plans to bring my husband up there sometime, because I think he will love it, too. A great find!

Layers of boars head corned beef with finely shredded cabbage, sauerkraut with just the right amount of cheese, and thousand Island dressing. The freshly made marble rye really hit perfectly. I love how they still sample their bread of the day slices with or without butter. The fresh focaccia is like a pillow of bread goodness! And their multigrain seeded breads are second to none.

    First time here…read more Food: I stopped in expecting to have a hot beverage and a pastry. There were lots of great food choices, including breakfast egg sandwiches, lunch sandwiches, soups, cookies, muffins, and other pastries. I decided on a Turtle Scone, and it was excellent. It had a great texture, was a good size, and had yummy chocolate frosting. The beverage selection was disappointing. There were only a couple of hot coffee choices, and some tea bags. No specialty drinks or lattes like some of their other locations offer. I ended up having water, which just isn't the way to enjoy a scone. Service: The person taking my order was efficient, but not especially friendly. When I commented on the limited hot-drink options, I got a shrug and silence. There didn't seem to be much interest or empathy. Atmosphere: The place is nicely laid out, and the menu board is easy to read. The pastries and cookies are displayed up front, making it easy to choose. There are several small tables where you can eat your selection, but the space seems designed more for takeout customers. I'd come back to pick up something to take home, but not really to dine in.

I saw a picture of their breakfast burrito on social media and made plans to stop the next day. In addition to the breakfast burrito, which came with a side of hash browns, I ordered cheddar broccoli soup and was gifted a brownie for visiting. The breakfast burrito is build your own with a bunch of different options for meats, cheese, and veggies. I went with bacon, American cheese, and spinach and wasn't disappointed. The burrito was hefty and every one of the ingredients stood out. This is something I would definitely come back for. The three hash brown patties tasted as you'd expect and I appreciate that they weren't cold in the middle or bland. You can definitely notice the freshness in the soup. It was thick and used actual florets of broccoli, not just the stalks. Given the size of the burrito I had just eaten, though, I wish there was an option for a smaller portion of soup. The bowl was large and if you just plan on having that as a meal it's fine, but I would have preferred buying a cup as compared to a large bowl. Hopefully that's something they consider as a menu tweak. I'm not a big brownie person, but I enjoyed it. Like the burrito and the soup, it was a sizable portion, so worth the price if you're buying one. I'd be interested in trying their lemon bar or coffee cake on a future visit as those are more up my alley. I enjoyed talking to the woman who was prepping the dining area while I was there. She mentioned that Senor Luna's next door is their sister location and that Miss Daisy's has such early hours (currently 5am during the week) so as to cater to the nearby business park.
