We came to El Gaucho on our first night of vacaciones per the recommendation of our host, a Gran…read moreCanaria native. Upon arriving at El Gaucho's terrace, the host, a lovely British gentleman greeted us amiably, and set up a prime table so that we could enjoy the sea breeze and the outdoor climate. We ordered the paella, the fried onion rings, the meat (of course), the gazpacho, and a small salad (there were six of us, so this amount seems reasonable, I think). The paella was the best I've ever had - our waiter divvied it up lovingly between my bestie and I, and he called us his "kids." He also presented us with some warm lemon water to wash our hands before our meal. Everything was delightful and all of the waiters were fantastic. Our main attendant was hysterical, and at the end of the meal, he presented us with caramel vodka. I have to say, that goes down far too easily. We like El Gaucho so much that we came back to dine for our last night in Gran Canaria. Sadly the British host and our main waiter were not there, but the food was still wonderful!

Had a great meal here for my birthday. My friend and I ordered a Chateaubriand steak between us (it…read morerequires a minimum 2 person order). For a price of just over €21 each, it is a great opportunity to try this very expensive cut of meat at a reasonable price. The food was delicious, the service good, and the environment nice and cozy (including nice clean toilets). The only thing that I can say I didn't award 5 stars was because there are a myriad of Steak Houses in Playa Del Ingles and whilst everything was satisfactory, there was nothing about El Gaucho that blew me away.

We normally have to decide beforehand and walk purposely whilst dodging the waiters trying to entice you to their business. Many are themed and have wonderful selection of worldly foods. (even a Japanese Mexican mix.. yup) On this occasion we didn't have a specific lunch in mind and we decided to take the first one offering food to us. - Luck have it the Faro Melody was our winner. We were heartily welcomed and free to choose our spot in the sun. We started with a Pina Colada, very milky and foamy!

This was so nice Anita couldn't help herself exclaiming this "was the best starter EVER!" - I thought it was nice too.
