    Tallarin verde / Green Spaguitti with Pollo a la Plancha / Grill Chicken with one side
    Vanessa A.

    Went for dinner on a girls trip this week and we made it right before happy hour ended, which was a welcomed surprise. We sat at the bar and ordered some drinks, and tapas, before ordering our food to go. Leticia our bartender was fantastic! She was so warm and inviting and knew which drinks and tapas we would like, and she was right. We had walked in to just order takeout and her friendly demeanor had us staying for happy hour. This restaurant is really nice and big and had some great decor. The drinks were delicious and made really well, and the tapas did not disappoint in any way. Definitely a great find, and one of the best spots we ate at while on a trip. If we're ever in the area again, we will stop by!

    My wife and I went for the first time today. The staff as polite. The waitress was pleasant and informative. We ordered the fish and shrimp ceviche; it was fresh and full of flavor. My wife ordered the Lomo Saltado; I went with the Picante de Camarones. Both dishes were outstanding. We then tried two desserts. We will definitely go back.

    During our trip to Florida we stopped and tried El Gaucho Inca for dinner. My wife and I got the Parrilladas family platter to share. The platter came with 4 different types of steak, pork chops, chicken, sausage, and two sides. The steaks were cooked more towards medium and were very good. The pork and chicken had been marinaded in a flavorful sauce which was very tasty. The entire platter was enough to feed at least 4 people, so we had plenty of leftovers. The service was great and the interior was modern and had a latin flare. Would definitely recommend!

    This establishment had a location in Naples. I was very disappointed when they closed. I knew they opened in Estero, but it seemed like it was never the right time to try the place. On 5/20/2023 became the right time. It's not easy when your order was wrong to give a place 5 stars. But I pointed at what I wanted as I could not pronounce it. So, who is to blame? What is interesting is the menu is much smaller than the Naples menu. But, the choices are plenty. The menu is in sections 1.Ceviche 2. Appetizers 3.Peruvian 4. Chef's Choice 5. Argentinian Grill I chose the "Fettuccini Verde con Entrana steak with pesto sauce" Which was flap steak with a pesto sauce on the fettucine noodles. I received Fettuccini a La Huancaina Steak Anticuchero. I honestly did not know I didn't get what I ordered until I received the bill. There was a price difference, and my mind said the bill should be one price then another showed up. So, I reviewed the bill and saw I didn't get what I ordered. I even put the word Verde in my picture. I didn't see any green but thought oh well. So anyway, it was world class dish. Two beautifully grilled flap steaks with a cream sauce that was out of this world for noodles. Mrs. K ordered "Tallarin Saltado. Simple beef with noodles in a brown sauce with onions and peppers. Very good. There is many numerous choices here with some dishes over $100. If you get to see one of these dishes and all the food that was on the serving it is kind of a deal since it will serve 2 to 4 people. So many dishes so little time. My goal is to become the Duke of this place with an astronomical amount of check-ins.

    Cheers!

    We came for dinner around 6pm on Saturday and it was packed! There were decorations of gauchos from Argentina and Peru all over the restaurant. Luckily we got a seat at the bar and were able to order right away. We started with a Pisco sour and a caipirinha. We were served some bread while we were waiting which was a nice starter. We ordered the Saltado with seafood and the tallarín verde with steak. The dishes came out pretty quickly despite the crowd. There was more than enough food and we could have shared a plate. The seafood was cooked perfectly and the steak was delicious. We were so full we skipped dessert!

    This place had a good vibe. It seems they have a very big following. The place got very busy as soon as we sat down. Our server was very professional and attentive. The food was very good and tasteful. The only thing that went wrong was that our steak was cold, but overall, it was good. We did mention it to our waiter, but nothing was done about it, not even the manager came over to apologize.

    My friends suggested to meet here for lunch over the weekend. That's how I found out about this location in Estero. I had been to El Gaucho Inca in Fort Myers a few times and really like their food. But they seemed to be busy and the service was not on par. On this visit, I had Picante de Mariscos and Trio Ceviches. It was a lot of food for me and my fiancé to share. Food was great as expected from El Gaucho Inca. Service was great. I have to say I like this location better.

    Shrimp ceviche
    Guillermo R.

    One of our favorite spots, el gaucho never disappoints. Had dinner with my wife and friends and the food was amazing along with the service. We had their shrimp ceviche followed by empanadas and we had a churrasco cut for dinner. Everything was delicious.

    Talleron Verde:  i already ate most of it but it was delicious. yellow thing is a potato with sauce

    Food is EXQUISITE! AMAZING! Complementary bread is amazing and served warm with a really delicious green sauce. I got the talleron verde with chicken (huge portions btw) and another person with us got the gnocchi with chicken. We both loved our food and agreed it was some of the best food we've had in a long time. The chicken was cooked perfectly with good seasoning, the pasta was silky and creamy with a delicious green sauce. Highly!!!!!! recommend. Decor is comfortable and stylish

    We liked the interior/ambiance of the space for it being in a strip mall. The server was prompt and helpful in her descriptions of the dishes. We found the fish in the ceviche to be rubbery and one of the shrimp seemed off, so not sure about the quality of their seafood. The fried rice was enormous and pretty tasty. The beef and vegetables was also good and the meat was tender. Not sure I would be in a hurry to go back with so many options nearby.

    Wow! What a meal - first of all, come hungry because you will be leaving with a full belly! Everything was excellent, the assortment of meats were quite the deal. While it serves 2, it can easily feed a family of 6. Had the empanadas and dolce de leche cake. Our server Luis was great, highly recommend!

Walking in the restaurant smells marvelous..... not a spicy smell, but more a blend of savory. The table had white paper and was decorated for Valentine's Day !! Nice touch. First time for us.... They were not very crowded for lunch and we were seated right away. Victor approached us to take our drink order. What a friendly, nice guy. I ordered the Red Sangria, ($15.00) in a big wine glass which was very tasty. I then ordered the Pulpo Al Olivo from the "starters" menu, with a side of Tostones. (Which was Octopus, sliced avocado & a terrific Kalamata Olive cream sauce. The octopus was tender and piled on slices of avocado. They didn't skim on the avocado at all. Wasn't sure why the club crackers were added to the plate. I pushed them aside at first, but then used them as they were intended..... OMG..... the crackers added a slight buttery, savory taste to compliment the Kalamata sauce. And, it was extremely tasty and plentiful. Definitely would order this again !!! My husband ordered Tallarin Huancaina Con Savana de Lomo. My best interpretation was ~ skirt steak on pasta with a spicy cream sauce !! He LOVED it !! We asked.... they provided !! We were able to buy a 16oz jar of the delicious Huanciana sauce to take home. YES...... YES..... highly recommended and we will be back again !!!
