We sat on some stools and I added the habanero salsa to my fries and the cilantro lime ranch to my food. The food was absolutely amazing! Everything on my plate from the steak to the eggs to the fries was delicious! My food was to die for and presentation was on point. The food came in an iron skillet on a tray. It was heavy. I would 100% recommend Gauchos and will come back.

It was the second of our five stops as part of our Downtown Denver Food Tour, and it was amazing…read more The Empanadas were flaky, flavorful, and so delicious. The chimichurri sauce added so much to the taste. This Argentinian Empanadas restaurant was started by two brothers who didn't see their homeland empanadas in Denver so started their own just when Covid hit and survived, a testament to how good they are. The place is not very big with less than a dozen tables, but it seems the bulk of their business is to-go anyway.

The establishment was easy to find and relatively ample parking…read more the restaurant was entirely dead when I came in so it was very clean. Despite the fact that it was completely dead, it took about 20 minutes to get two teeny, tiny empanadas. i was unsure if the guy was super unfriendly, didn't speak or understand english, didn't like his job, or a combo of the three. anyway, i opted for the ham & cheese & the chorizo, as all other options had onion - i am allergic to onion. rather disappointing, bc i wasn't (shockingly for me) in the mood for breakfast. the ham and cheese was amply filled and somewhat flavorful, but not great. the chorizo one was flavorful - it had a yummy spiciness to it, however it was lacking in the stuffing. i bit into it and it was only half-filled. for the price, you'd think they'd fill the darn things to capacity. the "shell/pocket" was disappointing in both taste and size - kinda tasted like a tortilla. nothing special. * size matters, people. don't let ANYONE tell you otherwise. pretty underwhelming and disappointing all around. service: 2/10 serving size: 1/10 taste: 3/10 i would not recommend - go to maria empanada instead.

Thanks to the big decal ("Empanada") on the front window that didn't escape my notice!! Good thing I was paying attention. This is a very small location. Even though I saw it, you can easily miss it. I truly hope that it's getting enough foot traffic. The young man upfront welcomed me. Upon entering, I was the only customer. He let me take my time to decide. I didn't feel rushed. I found my new favorite today: Chorizo Cheese and Egg. Had never had this flavor in the past as I had never seen it until today. Or is this a new flavor?? I pointed out to a tart looking sweet one in the glass showcase which the young man identified it as passion fruit tart. Sounded good. I settled on those two for to go. He, of course, put my savory in the oven toaster which he said would take about 5 minutes. He didn't put the savory and the sweet in the same container; he separated them. What a conscientious gesture! He saw me off with a warm/friendly smile with a pleasant "Thank you; have a good day!" After taking a few photos of the two, I immediately started savoring them. The Passion Fruit tart wasn't impressive and yet the right amount of sweetness tickled my sweet tooth to the touch. I wish I had tasted more passion fruit in it. The savory (chorizo/cheese/egg) however became my new favorite. Nice and gooey inside where the creaminess of the marinade can make a mess over your clothes if you are not careful. Lazo never fails to amaze me with the bestest ingredients and flavors no matter when. My perfect mid morning snack sent me to the next errand for the day. Much needed pick-me-up indeed!!

Finally made it and it absolutely lived up to the hype…read more I was impressed by the market table and hot side bar. Most Brazilian steakhouses focus almost entirely on the meat, but I loved having so many fresh salads, sides, and hot dishes to mix in throughout the meal. The variety of meats was excellent, too. Each cut had its own seasoning and flavor profile, so it never felt repetitive like some places where every bite tastes the same despite being a different cut. But the real MVP? The Brazilian limeade. I genuinely could've had 10 of them. That and the caramelized plantains and grilled pineapple! Chefs kiss. I'd honestly go back just for those alone. If you've been debating whether it's worth trying, consider this your sign. Come hungry!

I was really excited to come here because I had heard so many great things about this restaurant. I…read morewent in with pretty high expectations because it's supposed to be a high-end dining experience, and unfortunately, my experience just did not live up to the hype at all. One of the positives was our server, Moses. He was friendly, attentive, and did his best to provide good service, so I don't want to take away from the effort he put in. My issues were really with the overall experience and some things that were completely outside of his control. The biggest problem for me was the amount of gnats flying around the restaurant. There were gnats everywhere, and it got to the point where we were literally having to put napkins over our plates in between bites just to keep them from landing on our food. That was extremely uncomfortable and honestly unacceptable for a restaurant that is presenting itself as an upscale, high-end dining experience. When you're paying higher prices for your meal, you expect the restaurant to have a certain level of cleanliness and attention to detail, and the gnats really took away from the entire experience. Another major disappointment was the meat service. After only about 30 minutes, they stopped bringing us meat, and we hadn't even gotten the opportunity to try every cut. That was especially frustrating because one of the main reasons you come to a restaurant like this is to experience the variety of meats and different cuts they offer. If the service is going to stop before you've even had a chance to try everything, it makes the experience feel incomplete. It also made me question whether I was really getting the experience I was paying for. I also ordered the salmon, and unfortunately, it was overcooked. That was probably one of the more disappointing parts of the meal for me because, considering this is supposed to be a high-end restaurant, I expected something as simple as a piece of salmon to be cooked properly. The salmon was dry and just wasn't what I would expect from a restaurant at this price point. When you're paying for an upscale dining experience, the food should be one of the strongest parts of the meal, and unfortunately, that wasn't the case for me. The atmosphere itself is definitely upscale and gives you the feeling that you're supposed to be having a more elevated dining experience. The decor and overall vibe are nice, and I can see why someone would be excited to come here. However, the atmosphere alone isn't enough to make up for the issues we experienced with the food, cleanliness, and service. Overall, I really wanted to love this place because of all the positive things I had heard beforehand, but unfortunately, the actual experience did not match the reputation. Moses was a good server and I appreciated his effort, but there were too many things that took away from the experience. Having gnats constantly flying around our food, stopping the meat service before we had tried all the cuts, and receiving overcooked salmon were all major disappointments. For the price, I expected a much more polished and enjoyable experience from beginning to end. If you're looking for a high-end restaurant where you feel like you're truly getting an experience worth your money, this unfortunately wouldn't be my first recommendation. There are definitely things I liked about the restaurant, but based on my experience, the food and overall execution just weren't up to the standard I expected.

Whether I'm grabbing a quick lunch for myself, picking up dinner on a busy evening, or bringing a batch home to share, they never disappoint. They're the kind of food just about anyone will enjoy, which makes them an easy choice when you're feeding a group with different tastes. Everything comes neatly packed in a sturdy box, which makes them easy to transport without any mess or squished pastry. They hold up well on the drive home, so they're perfect for taking to the office, a get-together, or a family movie night. It's a small detail, but it shows they've thought about what makes takeout convenient. One of the things I love most is that they're always rotating in new flavors, so there's usually something different to try each time I stop by. It keeps every visit interesting, and I've found myself looking forward to seeing what's new on the menu. This time I tried the pizza empanada, and it was hands down my favorite so far. It had all the flavor you'd want from a good slice, wrapped up in a golden, flaky crust. I'll definitely be ordering it again. The shop itself is always clean and welcoming, which I really appreciate. The staff were friendly and genuinely helpful, taking the time to walk me through the different options and answer my questions without making me feel rushed. If you're new to empanadas or just can't decide, they'll point you in the right direction. It's clear they take pride in what they make and care about their customers having a good experience.
