    Asado Gaucho -- where their story is written in fire and the steaks are seriously high. From the Pampas of Argentina to the heart of San Diego, centuries of gaucho tradition come alive through bold flames, rich flavors, and unforgettable bites. Reverse-Seared Tomahawk Sandwich ($23.99) Focaccia stacked with sliced tomahawk steak, provolone, bacon jam, and creamy mushroom sauce... this sandwich raises the steak. The Gaucho Sampler ($29.99) Tri-tip with chimichurri, picanha with gaucho sauce, and tomahawk steak with creamy mushroom sauce -- a lineup that meats all expectations. The empanadas? They're some of my favorite bites every time. Catch @asado.gaucho at @windmillfoodhall in Carlsbad -- come for the fire, stay because you're totally grilled in the best way. ‍

    Chimichurri Tri-Tip
    Anthony A.

    I was a little torn on my feeling about this restaurant. I had the Chimichurri Tri-Tip. This comes in a sandwich form. Now the Tri tip meat and Churri sauce was outstanding. The meat is cooked to a medium rare. Great cuts of meat. The size of the sandwich is on the small side. It cost about $18 for a sandwich that can fit in a ziplock bag. I also had a. Beef empanada. This empanada is filled with deliciously seasoned ground beef. The inside tastes great. Now the outside was not to my liking. As a Latino. I expect a crisp outside of an empanada. This had more of a doughy texture. Not sure if I would come back. As I am also not big on bread.

    Stopped by the Windmill food courts for a late lunch. Ordered from several food stall. I was intrigued about the sampler: Tri-Tip w/ chimichurri sauce, Picanha w/ gaucho sauce, NY steak w/ creamy mushroom sauce. The serving was all served in one box. The way that the meat was chopped it was hard to distinguish if the cuts of beef was what was on the menu. The beef was cooked closer to medium well and so it was a bit dry and tough. Thankfully there were the sauces to pair with the meat. The food court was loud and busy. The stall is tucked in the back and so that may have been the reason that I didn't see someone available to take my order initially. I rang the bell but maybe it was drowned out by the busy food court. It took me several walk by to finally place my order.

    Chimichurri Tri-Tip

    First off, the Windmill Food Hall is just a fun place to be. Great with a group, lots of energy, and a solid mix of food stalls. But Asado Gaucho deserves its own moment. And yes, I saw the negative reviews. Here's my positive retort. The food was outstanding. This is not some mystery meat sandwich situation. It's real steak. Tri-tip. Cooked medium with actual flavor. It's the kind of sandwich you break apart, eat with your hands, and get a little messy with. Steak in one hand, bread in the other, maybe a swipe of chimichurri in between. That's how you do it. The bread was crispy and light, and that chimichurri sauce deserves its own applause. The empanada was also a highlight. Flaky outside, flavorful inside, the kind you immediately regret not ordering two of. And let's be real. Seventeen bucks for a real steak sandwich in 2025 is a win. I've dropped that much at Jersey Mike's and didn't get half the flavor or the experience. This place is doing it right. I'll be back, hands ready.

    My friend and I really enjoyed the chimichurri tri tip! The order system on your phone at the windmill food hall made service quick and easy. You can choose where to sit at the food hall, however it's a very casual ambiance.

    Argentinian Grill Comes to the Windmill Food Court Never had the pleasure of having Argentinian grilled meats, but I went in for lunch, and I was not disappointed by this latest offering at the Windmill. Originally a catering company only, this new sandwich joint looks authentic with all of the dark wood and the video of beautiful beef footage, and the gaucho running the register. While menu pics are still pending along with any drinks, I can report very friendly and helpful service in helping select a couple delicious food items... Tri-Tip Sandwich. Chimichurri with sliced tri-tip underneath melted mozz on a baguette? Sign me up! This tasty sammy was actually not dry, cheesy, and had some tender meats. Chimichurri was not too salty like some folks do it. You didn't have to try real hard to eat it like some awful steak sandwiches, and bread was nice and soft, making for a pleasant chewing experience. Possibly consider extra chimichurri for some extra punch along with extra cheese. Recommended item. The fries! Imagine a near copycat McDonald's without too much salt with a tasty aioli (really mayo and chipotle blend). Crispy, too. What a treat that pairs nicely with the tri-tip sandwich. You can actually unlock a couple good food combos here: (1) dip the sandwich in the sauce and (2) place the fries underneath your sandwich as you bite into to allow the drippings to add some more fatty flavor to the fries. Definite recommend. Overall, a very satisfying and South American grilled meats sando experience that is definitely worth walking to the back of the food court for. Nothing else quite like it here or in the area. Give it a try, and tell me I'm wrong.

    My girls are hard to please but they were super excited to go back the next day. As was I.

    Choripán
    Julio G.

    Tried the choripán at Asado Gaucho. It came with chimichurri and salsa criolla. The chorizo was good (more like a sausage, for those who don't know), but the bread was basically two pieces and got soggy fast from the salsa criolla. It fell apart immediately. Very messy. The chimichurri and salsa criolla were okay, not the best I've had. I've been to Argentina, so I know how good an authentic choripán can be. Still, Argentine food is hard to find around here, so I wouldn't rate it too low. I'd recommend it to friends just to try something different. The service was cordial, no problems there.

    The sandwich was delicious! Service wasn't really there. There was no one at the counter so you order off a kiosk. They leave your food on the counter and send you a text to pick it up.

    The Gaucho Sampler

    Located in windmill food hall, which gets rather noisy on a weekend night. Got the Gaucho Sampler which is their steak done in 3 ways. Overall it was well cooked with nice flavors. A tad too heavy on the salt but otherwise a good meal. Would recommend!

It is located in a small strip with parking lot and has some indoor and outdoor seating. This is my second time trying board and brew in general and I am really underwhelmed with the sandwiches. This time, I tired the Baja wrap and it was really lacking flavor and was overwhelmed with guacamole. We ordered my son the kids grilled cheese, which was decent for him. We added a side of avocado for him and to my disappointment again, it was mashed avocado in a bowl instead of freshly sliced as I was envisioning. I will give it one more chance when I am able to eat the cold deli meat and see if those sandwiches are better for me.

Not everybody who tries to make a go of things here makes it, but that just means you get to try multiple different things. One business I remember not making it was the Belgian fries, guy, which I was very excited to see there. I also remember a Korean place not making it. But it was that place that turned onto eating Sundubu, which I now seek out. It's a counter service type place, and obviously the level of service that you get at each individual vendor is going to Berry. But I love the overall vibe.

    Family-Friendly Escape Near Legoland…read more While staying at the nearby Legoland Hotel, a few of us moms decided to sneak away from our husbands and kids for a quick break, and this place was a fantastic find! It features a variety of food stalls serving fresh, high-quality dishes, which was a very welcome break from the typical fried hotel food. With options ranging from pizza and fried chicken to a great selection of Asian cuisines like Thai and Chinese, it is an easy way to accommodate different tastes within a family or across multiple families. I especially loved the fresh, piping-hot dishes (we got the pad see ew) from the Thai food stall paired with a delicious cocktail from the central bar. Before heading back, we also grabbed some mini donuts to bring to the kids. The space is incredibly accommodating, with plenty of indoor seating options including bar tables, cozy booths, and standard tables. On top of that, they have several arcade games on-site, making this a highly viable and fun dining option for families with kids. Would recommend as a viable option if you're in the area.

This place sells their "normal" lobster roll for $30 each. I know prices on everything have gone through the roof (thanks, Iran War) but that is a lot of money. I have no complaints whatsoever about the roll. For the "normal" roll (that's what they call it), there was plenty of lobster and it was great. The toasted buttered bread is especially delicious. But for the price....$30 is basically the cost of a meal at a sit-down restaurant. So you always have to balance quality, quantity, and price. Incidentally, on the menu, there is no reference to "Maine" versus "Connecticut" style rolls. (My understanding is that the lobster in a Maine roll is cold and is dressed with mayo while the Connecticut lobster is served warm and is more buttery.) The video screen above the counter to this place mentions you can order it either way. The menu should also say this but whatever, this is just an FYI. If you don't specify a style, you will get the more popular Maine roll. I saw a number of people getting lobster rolls so apparently others are willing to spring the big bucks for this dish. It is delicious but you decide if it is worth it for you.
