After eating at several Argentinian restaurants recently, I've been on a chimichurri kick. I have…read moretried chimichurri sauces from Whole Foods and Trader Joe's but they aren't really very authentic. A friend recommended seeing what El Gaucho might have, so I visited the next day. The market is easy to spot with a big street sign out front. There are only two parking spots in front, one is a handicapped space. There's plenty of parking around the back though. When you walk in, you will see the main market with lots of items and brands I've never seen before. Slightly to the right is their deli counter with lots of meats, cheeses, and other miscellaneous items. To the right of the entrance is a dining area, and another counter where you can order sandwiches, empanadas, pizza, French fries, and drinks. I was laser focused on getting the chimichurri and leaving since I was short on time. It is in plastic bottles in plain view on on top of the deli counter. I purchased the regular variety, but they also have a spicy version. I could already tell this was going to be way better than the other two sauces I tried. I've had it on a steak, and on my breakfast scrambled eggs, and it's in a whole different league from the grocery versions I tried. It looks just like a restaurant chimichurri, oil based with lots of herbs and spices. I just had a nice filet mignon with chimichurri at a good Argentinan restaurant last week, and this chimichurri is about 90% as good. I moved it from the plastic bottle it comes in to a glass jar which will hopefully help preserve it longer, and store it in the refrigerator. I now have no reason to look elsewhere for chimichurri. My friend visits here periodically and says the sandwiches are excellent. I'll have to return again to try one, get more chimichurri, and explore the market and deli to see what other goodies they have.

It was my first time eating a smoothie bowl, and I enjoyed it. I saw online that there was a…read morebuy-one-get-one-free deal, so I got two medium pitaya (dragon fruit) bowls for $13. Also, I bought a spinach and cheese empanada and a chicken empanada ($5.25/each). You have many options when creating a bowl online. I got mine with pitaya as a base with hemp granola, strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, goji berries, diced almonds, pistachio butter, agave, and even bee pollen as toppings. The pitaya bowl was really refreshing and nicely sweet. I appreciated that it wasn't too tart. Combining the kiwis with the pitaya was a great choice. I enjoyed how the kiwis were diced; you'd have enough to chew. The goji berries stuck on my teeth, so I don't plan on getting those next time. It was my first time trying hemp granola, and the earthy flavor didn't quite suit my taste buds. I'd rather choose another type of granola. My most adventurous choice was adding on bee pollen, but I couldn't discern its taste due to lacking a frame of reference. The two other empanadas were adequate. While I didn't eat the chicken empanada, I received feedback that it tasted a little bland. However, I did like the spinach and cheese empanada, though it was a little salty. Overall, I'd come back to try another bowl. The location is convenient with covered parking. It was empty inside, but I still had a warm greeting from the person who prepared my food.

After making our selections, the second I walked towards the register, a really nice employee met me at the front. I wanted a few things from the cold case and had a question about the variety of available fillings for the empanadas. The woman was very helpful and went through the options with me. She quickly bagged my items and wished us a nice day. This was my first time at this location. The bakery was very clean. The employee was helpful and nice. Once I got home, I made myself some coffee to pair with my concha and pan de elote. The concha was very soft and fresh, the pan de elote was exactly as it should be. Everything was fresh and delicious. The 4 mile drive to get here was worth it.

I didn't mind waiting 15 minutes for a fresh pupusa, but the young woman working at the counter could not have been less friendly. I waited around for my small order and she never bothered to speak with me, not one word. Young people need to learn people skills, like being friendly and personable to your paying patrons.
