    Being from Long Beach but moving away and seeing all the changes that has taken place throughout the city is quite amazing. Long Beach was not what it's like today. Now it's a place where there's so many things are happening and restaurants and shops are scattered everywhere. Cluster of area are trendy, blocks are full of amazing restaurants, massive new apartments complex replacing empty lots all through downtown. And of course this place. I remember when it was just an empty spot where it's just the beach, the park and parking lot. Now it's a pretty cool beachfront restaurant and bar right on the sand and bike path. It's been so long since I left that I'm not quite sure how long this place has been here. I've seen it often when visiting walking the path or meeting friends for dinner down the street. Plus seeing post about this place and hearing from friends, it was finally something that needed to be done. Friday afternoon, just as happy hour was happening we popped in for drinks. Nothing major just something to have while checking it out. Checked in with the hostess which we mentioned that we wanted drinks and not brunch. She mentioned that the bar area was full but followed her anyways which they did have seat available. There were plenty of open tables but not sure if we were able to have one if we were just having drinks. She never offered it to us. Anyways, bar seating was fine. It wraps around. Menu for happy hour was decent, a good amount of drinks as well as food items. We had to get someone's attention so we could order. Normally you would get acknowledged when seated at the bar but it didn't seemed like they even noticed us. Finally someone, placed our order for some drinks and then some food. Drinks, beer on tap and one of the red sangria on happy hour. Beer, you can't go wrong with it. Sangria's, it was nice and refreshing. Had a few fruit chunks mixed in. Food, we shared an order of the mussels. They brought out the meal but no extra plates for the shells. Also, no utensils which we had to ask someone sitting across from us to pass some down that was sitting there. And shells were placed onto a napkin. Anyways, the mussels were quite nice. They were pretty small in sizes but the broth was very flavorful. The restaurant itself is quite beautiful. Downstairs has the bar with some nice table seating looking out to the bike path and beach. There's also an upstairs which we didn't get to check out. Overall, the place is quite beautiful. Service was a little slow until we got someone's attention. Drinks were good and the mussels were tasty. There's a small parking lot out back but just to the side , a couple minutes walk is a bigger lot.

    Really was excited to try this place out for the first time. I had seen so many awesome videos on instagram that i definitely thought it would be worth the hype, but i definitely was not impressed. Actually I was a little bummed. The service was super slow, the drinks were on the smaller side and very overpriced and the food was not the best and arrived to the table cold. Server was absent most of the meal he forgot the rice to my lomo saltado which sucked because by the time I was able to bring it to his attention I was half way done with my meal. Another thing that didn't sit so well with me was that the restroom was really dirty. All in all not a great experience but definitely an awesome location!

    Thanks Beng for all that you do! Great company! Good views! Good food! Good drinks! I highly recommend that this place for the food and I really enjoyed the service from Beng.

    I'll give Gaucho beach restaurant and bar a 1 start only because our waitress was super nice and understanding thanks and the location is very beautiful right by the beach, but other than that, the michis taste like Bloody Mary's the fish and chips, are really horrible the fish smells super fishy, the batter from the inside is undercooked and it's more batter then fish! See photos for reference. The only thing on the menu I would recommend are the mussels, even though half of them were shells. The wine sauce was delicious, used it to season everything else. Won't recommend. Only for regular margs or beer on tap. Or fries.

    The easiest way to eat by the ocean that I know of. The food is nice, the drinks are made for Saturdays, and the service is great. You might find yourself Shazaming the music so that you can take the vibe with you.

    Had a great experience. The food was delicious and the service was also very good. Josue helped us out and was a great guide in what to order. I ordered the new crab sandwich and was exquisite and perfect for the weather that's warming up. I paired it with one of their own Gaucho beers and had the Patagonia Blond, which complimented my sandwich.

    If you're looking for a place that has amazing food, a great view by the beach, and exceptional service, Gaucho Beach is the place you should be at!!! My boyfriend and I sat on the rooftop and were lucky enough to have Kamilah as our server. She was incredibly attentive and so kind, always checking in to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying everything. She even suggested their Redbull Coconut Mojito, and I ended up falling in love with it. She truly made our experience even better! If you have her as a server, you're definitely in good hands. As for our food, it was so creamy, juicy, and so full of flavor! I got their Sea Bass and my boyfriend got the Gaucho Burger, both dishes were so filling I honestly wish I had room for more. The best part is how pet friendly they are! We were able to bring our dog to dine with us . Definitely will be back, I loved it here!

    Came for the happy hour ! It was great we had Bang as our server/ Bartender ! Food and drinks were great! Great music and we sat up on top so we can get more of the beach views with great music! Would definitely come back again!

    Ummmm decide for yourself

    Is this place toddler friendly? My little one loves to roam around

    Hey Kristina! Of course! You also have a kids' space right next to Gaucho Beach :)

    Hi do we have to make a reservation for 10people I called but no answer?

    Angel! Send us a DM with a phone number so our team can help you with your reservation.

    Is this the same as gaucho grill?

    I've seen reviews that you need to tip before ordering on the app. Is that accurate?

    Yes it's correct

    Are there heat lamps?

    Last time I was there they only had a few working heat lamps, and it was a nightmare trying to get one!

    Fourth time here, when is the roof top open, pray tell? Only weekends, a waitress just informed me.

    I bike almost nightly and it's often open up there. Maybe you go to early ? It was jammin last night lol. Dj I think

    Is their outside patio pet friendly? We visit Rosie's dog beach and would love to stop for a bite once our pup is tuckered out from running on the beach!

    Yes they are very dog friendly. All dogs and cats are welcome in the outside seating areas.

    Since you don' ttake reservations would a party of 13 be able to be seated roof top on a Thursday night about 6:30 pm.?

    Not really, it would be a nightmare and they don't really have a way to group enough tables together. Their ordering system is no good. Food comes out at random. Some of your party will be finishing their entrees, while other people will just start… Read more

    What are happy hour times and days?

    Monday - Friday 3-6

    Is it dog friendly?

    Yes, they allow dogs on their patio areas.

The pineapple added to what's basically a Cuban style sandwich sounds different at first, but it works perfectly. The balance of sweet, savory, crispy, and smoky was spot on. Everything tasted super fresh and the bread held everything together perfectly without getting soggy. My original plan was to eat half and save the rest for later... yeah, that didn't happen. Ended up finishing the whole thing because it was that good. Service was friendly, food came out quick, and the whole spot had a really chill local vibe. Definitely a hidden gem if you're in the area. Highly recommend this place and I'll for sure be back to try more off the menu.

But, I understand. That particular sandwich is loaded with 6 kinds of meat. The contingency sandwich became the Big Bucky, w/ the choice of 3 meats. Soppressata, mortadella, bacon, extra onions, pickles & tomatoes. A satisfying, filling sub sandwich that made for a pleasurable lunch. A nominal wait, the meat were freshly sliced, and assembling the sandwich with plump & crisp vegetables, it was worth every minute of delay. The cashier was friendly & a pleasure to deal with, too.

You order at the counter (either for takeout or to dine in), and they have a nice selection of imported Italian goods like sauces and pantry items, which gives it an authentic feel. I tried their meatball sandwich, and it was honestly delicious--super flavorful and clearly made fresh. One of my favorite things is that they also sell take-home pints of their sauce at a really affordable price. I brought one home and cooked with it, and it tasted way better than your typical store-bought jarred sauce. They also offer weekday specials, which is a nice bonus. I've been to both their Long Beach and Seal Beach locations, and both have been consistently good. Overall, it's definitely a thumbs up from me.

They have their own little area to park, which was nice.., nice selection of beverages to choose from and a variety of other things to buy. They had a sign that said no public restrooms but honestly if it wasn't for that and they had restrooms for customers, I would probably give this place five stars but because of the restroom situation I had to bring it down to four considering I'm always looking for a place with a clean restroom since I work out in the field.

Between the two of us we've tried Tuna Sandwich - Definitely not your typical mayo heavy tuna. It was more herbaceous and light than creamy, which was a nice change of pace. If you like fresher, brighter tuna instead of rich and gloopy, this one is worth a try. Caprese - Super fresh and creamy and the ingredients themselves were on point. That said, it was missing a bit of seasoning a simple hit of salt, pepper, or some Italian seasoning would've taken it from "good" to "great." Turkey Sandwich - This was just a really good turkey sandwich. Simple, classic, and well executed. Definitely our #2 favorite so far. BLT - Our biggest miss. For such an iconic sandwich this version felt a little too basic and underwhelming compared to everything else we tried. Chicken Parm - A great option when you're in the mood for something hot and comforting. The sauce and cheese combo hit the spot and it was a fun switch up from the cold sandwiches. This lands at #3 on our list. Italian Sandwich - The star of the show. Perfect balance of flavor and acidity with all the right textures going on. This is hands down our #1 sandwich here and the one I'd recommend first if it's your first visit. On top of the sandwiches their chip selection is FIRE tons of fun options that make it feel like you're building a full snack experience not just grabbing a quick bite. The drink selection is solid too and I've got to give extra love for having sparkling apple juice as an option. Little things like that make it stand out. Service has been consistently chill and low key on all three visits nothing over the top but friendly enough and they get the job done. Overall as a sandwich stand Potato Chips Deli deliver good quality ingredient, a couple of standout sandwiches (get the Italian!), fun chip and drink choices, and casual no frills vibes. Still a little room for refinement (seasoning on some sandwiches, more exciting BLT), but we'll definitely keep coming back to work our way through the menu it's 4 stars from us.
