Food amazing, Service amazing. We got it all, appetizers, main course and dessert. Leaving stuffed but we will return. Place was clean and music was at the right volume. Not sure what the steak in the tacos were flavored with but it was perfect. The fries did NOT need anything the drowned the flavor. Dessert was not overly sweet but a perfect top to a wonderful meal read more

I was so excited to try this place because of the great reviews! To start, the staff was amazing and they were so kind and accommodating. The service would alone get 10/5! They had crayons and a fun kids menu to color for my daughter. The waitress came over right away with waters and drinks. she was very helpful and had such a great attitude. We ordered fries to start which were amazing and perfectly crispy! I would unfortunately say these were the best part of the meal. The bread and butter was fresh tasting good as well. The chimichurri didn't taste particularly fresh sadly. We got empanadas to try as well and although the filling was good (not great) the dough was exceptionally dry and the chimichurri didn't quite help enough. I think they might have been under heat lamps for too long? The chicken tacos my husband ordered were also underwhelming. The chicken was flavorful and seasoned well but everything else with it was a bit bland. My flank steak was also unfortunately quite chewy to the point where I couldn't eat it. The mashed potatoes were very good and the salad was fresh! Unfortunately the only "dressing" on the salad was the chimichurri which I didn't enjoy much so that was a bit of a bummer. The dessert we tried was flan and it wasn't quite smooth at all which is typically the texture I'd expect. I'm still giving three stars cause the place was clean, the staff was incredibly kind/lovely, and the fries/bread were both good! I'd be willing to give it another try cause all of the other reviews are so great I wonder if maybe I caught them on a rough night. read more

I didn't even notice this place until my friend mentioned it after we went to Potbellies. It's hidden in the back corner of the same building, but I could smell it before I saw it. It smells amazing. I came in and ordered take out. There were a couple of tables occupied, and they let me sit at a table and offered me a drink while I looked at the menu. I got water and a refill while I was there -- super nice since I had come from the gym. The food was packaged well, and it was warm when I got back to my place. Everything was flavorful. I tried a few things. I was told that 3 empanadas usually suffice for dinner. I wanted to try 1 and tacos. Both were amazing. The provoleta (melted provolone with bread) was very good. And I had no idea flan was always missing dulce de leche this entire time. It brought flan up a notch, and I love flan. I will definitely be back to try more things. The steaks sounded amazing, and I want to try more of the empanadas. I had the Beef Argentine empanada. I loved how flavorful it was, and their chimichurri was delicious. read more

After two visits, including dinner tonight, I'm ready to review this excellent restaurant! The menu features Argentinian dishes with a few Uruguayan dishes, as well. I stopped several months ago for lunch and enjoyed a delicious Choripan sandwich and a beef Arabe meat pie. I knew I had to return for dinner to try more. Tonight, I went back with a friend and received a little help with menu options from our awesome server, Millie! We started with a Mango Passionfruit Margarita Mocktail, which was outstanding! Then we shared the Tortilla de Papa and the Uruguayan Pascualina Tarta, filled with spinach and egg and seasoned with amazing spices! I ordered the Tira de Asada as my entree and chose the Argentine potato salad with peas, carrots, and mayo. My grilled bone-in rib was perfectly seasoned and cooked to medium rare, as requested. My friend enjoyed her empanadas, especially the spinach and cheese and the Humitas, which was filled with creamy corn pudding, onions, and cheese. We shared the chicken empanada, and it was amazing! I loved the crispy shell, tender shredded chicken and flavorful spices and marinade used for the chicken. Highly recommend it! For dessert, we shared the recommended Alfajor, which is a cookie sandwich with a dulce de leche filling and rolled in coconut. It was a great way to end a perfect dinner experience! They added Tuesday to their hours of operation recently, and you can make reservations on their website, which is especially recommended for weekend dinners. They often have live music and Argentine Tango dancing! I highly recommend this excellent restaurant! read more

Am amazing authentic Argentinian restuarant! Tucked away in the back of a plaza, it was almost hard to find because it's the last business in the corner. Very no frills interior with argentinian flags along the wall and a cute backdrop at the entrance. I was starving when I came in initially (was ready to go for some AYCE bbq) so we may have over-ordered but I'm so glad I got to try all the things! We came on a friday and they were having a margarita special for $6, or $7 for the spicy ones. We got chile mango (which was delicious AND quite spicy!) and the hibiscus (sweet and floral). For the food: MOLLEJAS/sweetbreads: I still don't understand why this dish is called sweetbreads because I can only picture bread but wow these were tender and full of flavor. Apparently it's hard to find places that serve sweetbreads so we were very pleased with being able to have it here PAPAS A LA PROVENZAL: crispy fries with parsley and garlic, I didn't expect much but these were SO GOOD. The level of crispy and seasoning really crushed it. And I always love a good side of fries!! EMPANADAS: We tried the beef argentine and humitas (creamy corn). Honestly not a fan, not sure if it was because we came later in the evening but the breading tasted hard PARILLA ASADO: This was the combo platter of meat (sweetbreads, short rib, sausage, blood sausage, ribeye, chicken) and it was AMAZING. Highly recommend. We got the dish for 2 which came with 2 of everything and it was probably too much considering everything else we got. All of the meats were delicious. We didn't get any additional sauce with it and it was flavorful enough on its own. I wasn't a big fan of the chicken but all the other meats were juicy and tender. Comes with a side and we got the potato salad. ALFAJOR: not sure why we got dessert when we were so full but their dessert menu looked so yummy! This was dessert sandwich with sugar bread/cookie and dulce de leche in the middle. It was a little too sweet/dry for me but my partner loved it. The service was top notch as well, our server was so funny and kind, checked in on us just enough and gave great recommendations. We also ran into my partner's colleague who is Argentinian so I'm definitely labeling this place as quite authentic! read more

I will say I think I have to try this place again because there are so many fine reviews, my experience could be a 1 off. When my friend and I got a table, we sat a far ways away from the door. The entire time I was at the restaurant, I felt uncomfortably chilly even while wearing a sweater. My friend and I each ordered three empanadas of variety. I ordered a Beef Argentine, Mushroom & Cheese, and Humitas. Each bite had a very doughy taste, which overpowered the flavor of the filling. I wish there was more filling in the empanada.The mushroom veggie empanadas were probably my favorite overall. I was a bit underwhelmed with the dessert as well. The Chaja cake was tasty but not something to crave. I will say I was thoroughly happy with my drink of choice. If you like spicy drinks, I highly recommend the spicy chili mango margarita! read more

El Gaucho Grill - Excuse the picture. We dove into the food before I thought to take one! - Argentine Near Me - Brookfield, Wisconsin

Drinks are tasty. Dessert is delicious and unique. Tacos are great and so is the service!

Stopped by the El Gaucho Grill for the first time on a beautiful afternoon and ate lunch on their patio. Great music and the service was quick, friendly, and she answered all my Argentinian food questions! The food itself was fantastic. Perfect over easy egg to cut over the tenderloin. (Pic attached) The tenderloin had solid flavors and overall a nice cut of meat with a good portion size. The potato salad and mixed green salad were both nice additives to the main meal. The fries were fantastic - even with the tenderloin and egg on top of them they had a nice golden crisp to them. Rating 5/5 - fantastic meal and I'll be back again. I recommend you stop by! I'm looking forward to trying some more of their dishes! read more

Not much for ambiance, though, they do make an attempt with art and murals on the walls. The food was very good and tasted very fresh. You could easily split the combo (parrilla) for two, but I wanted to try a little bit of everything. Many of the cuts are halal, which I found odd for a South American restaurant. I don't know if Argentina has a large Muslim or Arab population but guess it's a thing. The service was very good and the different foods or cuts were explained to me very succinctly. All in all, a nice dinner experience. read more

We had great food when we were there. I got a vegetable GF sandwich and my husband got a skirt steak and both were excellent. I didn't expect to be impressed by a vegetable sandwich but it was really excellent. read more

The dining was a great experience. As a new restaurant it's still working out it's service flow, but one thing for sure - the chef has the food sorted out and it was delicious. This really is a 4 1/2 star review and they will be a 5 by the next visit I'm sure. We enjoyed the Arabes and Caprese empanadas for appetizers, sangria, and the Parrillada Asado for 1 with the sautéed vegetables (which was plenty for 2). Tony and his team have a gem in the making. It was a real treat dining at El Gaucho Grill. read more

Get here before this place is found out! We started off with a picture of sangria. It was very good. For dinner my family ordered empanadas and I ordered a rib eye steak. The steak was one of the best I've had. Simply delicious! If we were to do it again, we would order a dozen of the empanadas and order a variety. We had 5 different ones and they were all great. Everyone shared everything. The Humatis empanada was my favorite. Tony is the owner and he was sure to check that everything was perfect (it really was). For desert we ordered a flan with dolce and alfajore. Both were delicious and home made. Be sure to save room and order desert! We will absolutely be back with friends! Sorry for the photo's.. we couldn't wait to dig in. read more

Everything was great! Our party of 6 all enjoyed their food! The empanadas were something new that we tried and all loved. They had many kinds to choose from too! The waitress (Alma) was SO helpful and accommodating! The restaurant is a little bit hidden (near the Lang store) but it's worth finding! Delish! read more

Great food! The owner takes excellent care of the place and staff. I ordered my dinner for pickup, and it was ready and delicious.

A hidden gem amongst chain restaurants on Bluemound . You must check this restaurant out. Great service. Our server was attentive and made great suggestions for our first time visiting Started out with the Provoleta which was a hot cheese somewhat like Greek saganaki to dip in bread. The empanadas were delicious on the smaller side but really great and so were the tacos. Margarita special was so yummy. Really great local place that is family owned. read more

El Gaucho Grill - Empanadas - Argentine Near Me - Brookfield, Wisconsin

Excellent authentic Argentine cuisine. My husband and I tried several different empanadas and they were delicious. My favorite was the chicken, his was the caprese. His entree was a beef, poached egg, ham, and bacon dish served on the best fries. Mine was a margarita in addition to the empanadas, and it was very well made. We tried the the chajas cake and flan and would recommend either. We will be visiting her again. Oh - and our server was so friendly and accommodating. Give them a try! read more

Even though I only ate here once, even though I am vegetarian and my choices were limited, and even though I didn't know anything about Argentina's cuisine, I loved it. The staff were lovely and hospitable. The empanadas were tasty (I especially liked the Caprese). Clean, colorful, nice decor. It is hidden in the back of a strip mall, so seek it out. read more

First time trying El Gaucho, had some empanadas and Chivito Al plata ... all were good! As a change of pace for Latin food I will definitely be back. read more

We really wanted to like this place. The only reason it got 2 instead of 1 was that the server was great. She was very friendly and efficient and good with the kiddo. Otherwise, the food was bad. It seemed to be cooked well, but everything tasted old/not fresh. For example, the meat tasted freezer burnt, the oil tasted old on the empanadas, the chimichurri sauce tasted sort of wilted and not very freshly herbal as you'd hope. The fries were good, but one doesn't want to pay what we paid just to have good fries :) Won't be back, won't be recommending unless we have heard it's improved. If the food had tasted fresh, we would have loved it. read more

This was a great little find in a strip mall. The restaurant is clean with all tables and chairs, no booths. The food was fresh and came out timely and warm. Service was inviting, caring, and prompt. We will return for more empanadas and dessert next time. Oh, and the fries are my favorite tavern-crunch kind. Great place for a tastey casual meal. read more

The food was delicious. Since it was our first time ordering from here, we got a bunch of empanadas. They are very small but $5 each. The value was not there in our opinion. We had takeout, so I can't comment on the service. read more

This little hidden gem is awesome! Tony, one of the owners, was so kind and helpful and friendly when waiting on us. We tried a special drink he recommended of Pasubio Vino and coca-cola (sounds funny but was good!). We shared a few empanadas amongst the two of us and liked the Beef Argentine, Humitas, and Caprese the best. The chimichurri and cilantro lime dressing were great additions for dipping. Finished off with some flan, which was delicious! Will definitely be back to this friendly little place. Highly recommend it. read more

I want to like this place more. I really do. Service was excellent and owners were very friendly. Empanadas were tasty but a bit dry. They are baked, think that's why. Got the Parilla Asada for 2. It was ok - good flavor but all of the meat was pretty dry. The blood sausage broke out if it's casing when cooking, so had a very lose and more irony than normal flavor. We left thinking we'd go back and try an entree rather than platter, but haven't done so yet. read more

Where to start? 1st reaction is sticker shock, very expensive for a strip mall dinner, we had a dish with beef (very tough and stringy), some lunch meat ham, cheese, a fried egg, and French fries for $24 (oh and their Yelp page has their old prices). Overall disappointed, would not return anytime soon. read more

I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough! The food is outstanding and the service is second to none!

Great atmosphere and very kind servers! The parrilla was excellent and the Alfajor delicious! Fir sure I'll be back soon

The best New York strip,the server Alba was amazing ,I recommend to everybody,the desserts are so delicious

We saw an ad for El Gaucho shortly after it opened and thought we'd try it. This Argentine place was a pleasant surprise. Our party had empanadas and a wrap. The empanadas are small, so three of them would be a meal (unless you're very hungry). They come in Argentine Beef, chicken, ham and cheese, and several other options. The ones we tried were very tasty. We also had a dessert called Chaka Cake, which was sponge cake, dulce de leche, peaches and sweet cream, with meringue crumbled on top. Delicious, and the piece served was enough for two. Their prices are reasonable and the staff made us feel welcome. There are many other items on their menu that we didn't try, but we certainly will be going back. so maybe we'll be updating our review. read more
