The service was awesome and then the food we ordered was great. My husband and I were on vacation for a long weekend and went there to have dinner 3 nights in a row. We wanted to try different apps and entrees. We both were very happy with the service and food. We will be coming back when we visit Naples again. read more

I stopped in for dinner in the middle of the week. I was greeted by asking if I had a reservation. The dining room wasn't close to full so it caught me off guard. They seated me at a table next to the fireplace/wine wall/by the restrooms. I thought it was a cool spot to be until one of the waitresses stepped over my purse to half climb the wall looking for something specific that she couldn't locate. Not exactly the most comfortable experience. The food was great though. Ordered the lomo saltado and they let me swap one of the starchy sides for a salad. The beef was tender, flavor was on point, and the portion was fair for the price. By the time I left there were two birthday parties and someone coming to celebrate graduation. It was definitely close to a full house once I was walking out the door! read more

The three of us shared the meat lover's parrillada and there was plenty to go around. It's quite a value for the price these days. Picanha was my favorite but the NY strip was also tender and the skirt steak was flavorful. Service was professional and the decor was appropriate. I recommend others to try this gem. read more

Strolling in the Fort Myers area to visit our son at Uni and were craving for Peruvian food. We found this gem from yelp and decided to try it out. Everything we ordered was delicious. If you're in the Fort Myers area, you should check this place out there are plenty of seating. The place was in a plaza but when you walk in there is that steakhouse vibe. staff was welcoming, it was busy lunch time but service was quick. The price were in the higher end but the portions were huge. There were a few take home boxes in the end. here's what we ordered: first we started off with Some calamari Trio ceviche dish. We decided to order Tostones to pair with the ceviche. Special of the day was a ceviche dish with seafood fried rice. Medium rare skirt steak with fries Jalea mixta For dessert with has the churro with ice cream and the Peruvian donuts. Leave room for dessert. The donuts are a must! read more

Perfect location for a date night - nice rancho ambiance, tv's showing the World Cup game and fast service. Also the food is great, the Trio Ceviche was fresh and the Lomo a lo macho was perfect, the rare steak was so tender that it melts in your mouth. The pisco sours are also delicious and very strong. Only critiques are that the fried yucca were kind of cold and soggy, it did not seem like they were recently fried. Also it's a bit pricey for what you get. read more

Beautifully decorated restaurant, very clean. Service was perfect, let Luis take good care of you. We tried one of the ceviches that was quite flavorful and plenty to share. We ordered the meat lovers patellar, and although they said it feeds 4, we knew we would have left overs to share the next night. There was plenty more for tomorrow. Blended seasons for the varied meats were impressive. Can't wait to go back to try their other dishes. Too many choices to go only once. As I watched other dishes come out from the kitchen, presentation was impeccable and looked top notch. Look at that dessert Run don't walk. read more

Came in on a Tuesday evening around 8:30 p.m. and the place was packed. We didn't have a reservation, but we were accommodated fairly quickly, which was appreciated given how busy it was. Service was good overall. Our waitress was kind and serviceable--nothing over-the-top, but attentive enough. The first appetizer out was the salad. We requested no onions, and it came out exactly as requested. There wasn't any salt on the table, just oil and vinegar, which I was actually okay with since it helped me keep my salt intake down. For our main dishes, we ordered the chaufa with gluten-free soy sauce, again requesting no onions. Everything came out correctly. The only issue was that it was a bit cold, as if it had been sitting out longer than it should have. We mentioned it, they took it back, reheated it, and it was fine afterward--no real issue there. I ordered the beef short rib, medium well. Unfortunately, it came out closer to medium rare in my opinion. a bit disappointing, but ok. Overall, the food was okay, service was good, and the ambiance was nice. Since the place was packed, it's clear that a lot of people enjoy it. Was this the best food I've ever had? No. But was it bad? Not at all. It is a little on the pricey side, but that's to be expected for this type of restaurant. I'd consider it a solid place and would definitely give it another try to order something different next time. I wasn't overly wowed, but it was a good, reliable dining experience and worth a second visit. read more

Excellent service provided by Laura and Delia; they both were great! The food was fantastic, as always. Our favorite Naples restaurant, never disappoints. read more

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! read more

I cannot review the food because we did not stay and eat. I can only comment on my experience just trying to get a table. Apparently, if you don't have a reservation, don't bother. Came in and the hostess was very disorganized. Waited in line for 10 minutes just to get to the hostess stand. Restaurant was maybe half full and mostly older people (60-70 year olds). Once we finally got to the hostess station, my family was offered space at the bar. I have a teenager so the bar is not an option. Could not get a straight answer on a wait time so we ended up just leaving. Found a nice Thai restaurant that was super busy but got us seated in no time and we had a great meal. read more

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 read more

We came all the way from Miami and honestly did not expect to find Peruvian food this incredible in Naples. El Gaucho Inca completely exceeded our expectations! Every dish was full of authentic flavor, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented, truly some of the best Peruvian food we've had. It was so good that we ended up coming two nights in a row, that alone says everything. The quality, the flavors, and the overall experience were outstanding. We will absolutely be coming back every time we are in Naples! Highly, highly recommend! read more

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. read more

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! read more

El Gaucho Inca Estero Restaurant - Argentine Near Me - Estero, Florida

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Wow! What an amazing experience. First our waiter was awesome. Menu is huge. He gave us great advice and was patient to let us figure out what we wanted. Started with the Ceviche de Mariscos. Excellent, best I've ever had. Next we got two entrees: Pescado a lo Macho which is a Peruvian fish with seafood sauce. Truly an amazing dish. We also got the Fettuccine Verde con Entrana which is Fettuccine with pesto sauce and skirt steak. Fabulous. Waiter recommended a wine from Argentine called Balbo which is a Sauvignon Blanc. Delicious and perfect with our meal. The entire experience was perfect from start to finish. Can't wait to go back. What a gem in Estero. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. I am a huge foodie and only found a couple places here I think is well worth going out to eat for. I tend to salt and pepper everything because every restaurant lacks flavor. Let me tell you, this food was just outstanding. Such a big portions so order accordingly, but wow. So much color and so much flavor. I think this is my favorite meal I've had since moving to swfl 2 years ago. When we arrived in (party of 5) I didn't realize we should have made a reservation. But we sat at the bar and got a drink and luckily got a table after 40 mins. Boy am I happy we stayed. the place was jammed packed which meant you knew the food was going to be great! Highly recommend, make a reservation to be safe though! read more

We came here last night with a big group for a parents night out. I've heard so many wonderful things about this place that I had to try it. The menu is overwhelming and so it makes it difficult to decide. We started out with the calamari with potatoes. It was underwhelming. I also ordered the skirt steak which was also very bland. The sangria was outstanding. They also served rolls with a green sauce that was also very average. The service was horrible. We were there for hours and my water glass sat empty and I was never offered another sangria. For all these reasons, I give 3 stars. I would try it again, but not for awhile. read more

Went to have lunch at this place today in the afternoon. A friend told me it was good, and asked for the trio ceviche, 29.99, all I can say is for the price they charge, the amount of fish and shrimp should be more bigger. Also, the flavor was not great at all, actually was bland. The red onion was more flavorful than the fish in the ceviche. Service was good still won't come back. read more

El Gaucho Inca restaurant is very good food. Their beef is tasty and their Jalea Mixta is fantastic!

Today is my birthday and chose to come here as it's a place that I might not otherwise try...I stand corrected. This was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. The octopus portion is HUGE and was as tender as I've ever had. The skirt stake with traditional sides was perfectly cooked and so flavorful. My dad even asked the waitress, how best to reheat the leftover octopus as there was so much and she went and asked the chef for specific directions so as to not make it tough. Food, service, drinks, and environment all outstanding. read more
