    Every three months I come down to Downey for a doctor's appointment and I always try to stop by a place that I never been. Yelp helps me find a spot along the way home. Today I stopped by Gaucho Cafe and bought a sandwich and empanadas. They also sell imported products from Argentina such as olive oil, canned goods, packaged cookies, pasta, candy and more. They have a bakery that serves freshly baked pastries, variety of empanadas. Customer service is ok, parking is spacious. I got a chicken and short rib Empenada to try. The short rib tastes better in my opinions. My daughter got a chicken Milanese sandwich and liked it. Overall a great place to check out while in the area. It's the type of market that I love. Imported goodies ...

    Found this cafe on Yelp but not that much information, so it's a cafe right next to gaucho grill restaurant, diagonal to 24h fitness . The sandwiches totally recommended, same for the pastries and super well delicious , the empanadas not so good , they have to improved their flavor . Place has lots of sitting and big selection of Argentinian foods , staff is the only one that when you order they give you that look like they are lost and don't know what you ordering exist , but overall cool place to try out Background music as you sit is really relaxing

    Love this place! The happy hour to the dinner was such an experience. Matias assisted us, definitely ask for him! He is amazing. Very attentive and professional, yet personable. Will be coming back!

    We went here for my nephew's party, place is a disappointment, we were a party of 13, maybe they have a hard time with big parties. I'll break down my thoughts. Ambiance- 5 stars, Restaurant is super nice, really like the decor, bar area was also very nice. Would revisit to sit at the bar. Service- Super slow, we waited over 15 minutes for just an Ice Tea and other drinks, our waiter was over his head, he would disappear for 20 minutes at a time. He forgot to place orders for appetizers we wanted and gave us some ridiculous excuses that didn't make sense. Even though they automatically charged a 20% service, I usually add more for good service-not this time. Food- I ordered the Picanha, mash potatoes and a Cesar salad. The steak was as I ordered it- medium Rare but both the steak and mashed potatoes were lukewarm, also, the salad was delicious but room temperature. The expectations for the prices is better quality/service but a real disappointment. Had I not been at a nephews party, i would have sent it back. Sucks eating a cold steak.

    This was my first time visiting Bakers & Baristas but not my first time trying there macaroons…read more My daughter has been treating me to macaroons on special occasions and I absolutely love them! I can't have them from anywhere else because these hit the spot so hard that no one can compete. I personally have not tried anything else, but my kids have enjoyed other treats from this place. They are located in Cerritos at a very busy shopping plaza and there's plenty of parking. I didn't expect the bakery to be an actual restaurant. There was a good crowd, sitting at tables and eating and drinking. They have about a dozen different flavors of macaroons. You can't go wrong with any of them, but my top favorite are the Birthday, Fruity Pebble, Horchata, Cappuccino and Ferrero Rocher. They make nice gifts too, as they can put it in a treat box in an ice brown paper bag. I definitely need to come back and try their drinks and something else from their menu.

    We ordered the Vanilla Bean Latte and the Mocha Latte, and both were solid choices that we really…read moreenjoyed. For food, I had the Pork Belly Bowl. It came with garlic rice and about five large pieces of pork belly. While the portion was generous, I found the pork a little dry and chewy, and I definitely needed water to push it down. My boyfriend, on the other hand, really enjoyed his Breakfast Smash Burger. It was much thicker than we expected, definitely not a traditional smashed burger, and could have used a little more sauce. The bun had a nice crispy crust though. The side of fries were a standout: crispy, well-seasoned, and absolutely delicious. We ordered the chocolate chip cookie for dessert. It was large and thin, and since it was served before we were ready to eat it, we asked if they could warm it up again later and they gladly did. The cookie was softer and the chocolate melted nicely. The ambiance is casual and relaxed. You order at the counter before finding a table, and there's plenty of indoor seating. We would have loved to sit outside, but all of the shaded patio tables were occupied, and it was a little too hot to sit in the sun. One detail I especially appreciated was that the tables have purse hooks underneath. I'd definitely come back for the coffee if I'm in the area but I'd probably try a different entree.
