Amazing beachside atmosphere and one of the best places to watch the World Cup. The energy was electric, and the service was outstanding. A special shoutout to Yesi -- she knows our taste so well that we never have to second-guess her recommendations. She's always friendly, attentive, and makes every visit even better. We absolutely love her! Honestly, it's hard to believe we hadn't come here sooner. We'll definitely be back. read more

Such a fun spot to watch the World Cup. Jonathan, Yesi, and Christen were so welcoming and friendly! The gaucho burger was so good and so were the Paloma's and margaritas. One of the best spots in LB read more

Great service and friendly atmosphere. I will return to celebrate and enjoy the vibe and good times

07.05.2026 My last review was a long time ago. I stated and vowed that I would never come back due to the homeless problem that this restaurant encounters in its surrounding perimeter. This restaurant ramped up security for this very reason, crowd control, and professionalism. Late June and early July of this year (2026), I have been here 3 times! Surprisingly the three times I have been here was great! The experience I had watching the FIFA world cup soccer matches was awesome and memorable. Great vibe and great energy! I was rooting for Team Mexico and Team USA. "From my previous post, I had it all wrong." You feel the nice ambiance of the ocean breeze hitting your face while you dine and drink. The ambiance was tranquil especially where I was seated, outside patio by the inside bar. They had a Large LCD Screen for the watch party and Smaller LCD displays upstairs. The only thing I disliked and disagreed with is the cycling of patrons after the game. For example, if you watched a game at 11am and it finished at 1pm you as a paying patron must exit the restaurant get back in line again just to stay for the next game. I have never heard of this type of restaurant logistic ever! In basic terms, they practically kick you out and make you get back in line regardless of the window you came in. I guess to accommodate everyone that wants to watch the FIFA Soccer games, this must be done. I just never seen it done before! I figure Once I am in I am in. Overall had a great experience. Great ambiance with clean restrooms. Big shout out and Big Kudos to the Manager wearing the Gimenez Mexican Jersey and Harisson the security guard. They were nice, friendly, and treated my wife and I with courtesy and respect. Also, excellent job to Kamille our waitress. She took good care of us by always being attentive and helping. Give her a raise! If you plan to come here, I warn you... Parking is absolutely a nightmare. I guarantee you that you will start road raging looking for a spot to park in. The 3 times I came, I ubered and road my electric scooter. I will definitely be back. read more

We were disappointed in the menu - we were looking for a better sitting, better menu choices. The other side of the restaurant was full and no immediate vacancy because the World Cup was going on. Maybe next time we will try the restaurant. read more

I'm going to leave a five star review. For the simple fact the service by our waitresses was great felt very welcomed , even the security guard was so chill ( I truly hope you become a lawyer ! ) the people around us were cool. Now we came to watch a Mexico vs England game and my brother and I were rooting for England and they happend to score a few times ( 3 times actually) and my brother and I being fans cheered ! Half Time comes and we eventually get told we can't be here and that it's " safer " for us to leave because we're "inciting violence". That I didn't appreciate . Their own cooks were looking at us with these faces of disgust and felt Very uncomfortable. Again it's called a watch party for a reason and we came to watch a game just like everyone else did yet they told us " we Shouldn't t be here" " if anything goes down , don't say I didn't warn you and I'm not protecting you" im sorry but you don't say that to anyone . I get it if we we're being rude and mean to others but no the family in front of us were rooting for Mexico and we got to laugh and banter back and forth in a respectful fun way . Yet the "manager" came To us no one else and told us we're Going to have to leave. To me that's wasn't very nice at all , I should feel comfortable and safe to watch a SPORTS GAME AT A WATCH PARTY and be able to root for who I want. Definitely felt targeted but it is what it is. Still give this place Five stars because the people who were providing us service did make us feel comfortable and welcomed. So we still want to say thank you of course but just unfortunate that had to happened. read more

Good place for a World Cup gathering. It has a nice beach harbor view and plenty of screens for watching sports. The food is good, but we had to wait a long time because it was so crowded. The Lobster Sandwich was okay, but my expectations were a bit higher for the actual lobster. I'd rate it a 7 out of 10. The Filet Mignon Sliders were good too, but the portion size was a bit too small. I'd rate those a 7 out of 10 as well. Overall, they are just a bit too busy right now because of the World Cup games. BTW, Josue is good support also. read more

The drinks were pretty good next time i will try the burgers read more

Yesi was out server and she was very attentive, polite and accommodating. The Guacamole was fresh and flavorful. I order the fish n chips from share portion of menu- easily an entree! It came with three huge pieces of fish. The batter was really tasty and I enjoyed the accompanying aioli but the fish itself could have used a little seasoning. Hubby had the Cuban sandwich and no complaints. This was very good. Tasty margarita with tajin season on the rim, a nice touch. Why the plastic cups tho? We came during a World Cup match so most of their draft beers were tapped. Cans and bottles were available. We had a great booth seat with a beach view and they had a large screen playing the match. read more

Lots of seating and beach views which is nice! Service was slow on the night we came in. We came in on a Tuesday night and it was not busy, but it took about 45 minutes for our food to be brought out. We got the new filet mignon sliders which were very tasty and good flavor, would recommend these! I swapped out the fries for mashed potatoes, but the mashed potatoes were a bit bland for me. Buttery but otherwise did not taste seasoned. The skirt steak sandwich had a nice charred taste and was also tasty and popular, but a bit dry. Wish it came with some chimichurri on the side! Fries were fine, unfortunately cold and not fresh. Salad on the side was served soggy. My fiancé enjoyed his mezcal margarita! The two sandwiches and drinks were a hit, the sides could use some work. read more

I've been back to Gaucho Beach a couple times since my first review and although I'm updating my review to 4 stars for the food, there is still room for improvement. My friends and I do enjoy the vibe here, being right on the beach, outdoor, dog friendly and with old school jams playing. While there's usually a short wait, it's nice that Gaucho Cafe is next door so people can grab a seat, drink and/or snack while waiting. Didn't seem like the lobster roll recipe changed much since my last visit so I opted to try the new Soft Shell Crab Sandwich. The brioche bun was soft, the creamy coleslaw consisted of purple cabbage and added a nice texture with the fried soft shell crab. The fries were done just right too. I would actually get this again since there aren't many places that serve it. Hubby got the Chilaquiles with chicken and we were impressed with the quantity and quality! There was a good amount of grilled chicken breast, eggs and the bowl was loaded with chips that remained crispy in the flavorful red sauce throughout the meal! My friends tried the calamari, which was good and the lobster omelette. My friend liked the omelette but the lobster meat was pretty minced, making it a little difficult to tell if it was really lobster in there. The service was a little hit or miss. We had to track down our server a few times. My hubby was still waiting for his beer when our food came out. Oh, they also don't have hot sauce?! They only have house made chimichurri, which isn't bad but it's not that spicy and doesn't give the heat that any hot sauce does. I'm sure I'm not the only person that asks for Cholula or Tapatío. Nonetheless, the food came out in decent time, we enjoyed our dishes and ambience here overall. read more

Went to Gaucho Beach for their advertised oldies & funk brunch, and honestly the best thing they have going is the beachfront location and people watching. We were expecting a fun mix of oldies and funk music, but after maybe five oldies songs it basically turned into a Michael Jackson playlist for the rest of brunch. Food-wise: Steak & eggs: steak was good, but the eggs were rubbery and the potatoes lacked flavor. Chilaquiles: tried both the green and red salsa. The green was good, but the red tasted more like regular tomato sauce. Chicken & waffles: was surprised that it was chicken strips but was even more surprised that they tasted good, but the waffles were very dense, although they did have a nice sweetness to them. The drinks were good and the staff was great, which definitely helped the experience. Overall, more of a spot for the view and vibes than the food. read more

Came with hubby and grandkids. Food plates too big for young teens but they were too old for kids plates. Service was friendly but a bit thin. We had almost finished our plates when the obligatory' how's your food' question came up. Enjoyed the music and decor. Gaucho salad worth a mention for texture and taste but it was heavy on the raisins. read more

My gf and I came in for a drink after a walk on the beach. We didn't expect much on a Tuesday afternoon. We tried the signature strawberry basil marg and the Bloody Mary and they were both banging!

Bang was awesome, attentive and checked in several times to make sure our order was on point. The restaurant got busy as the Ghana vs. England match went on.

His recommendations were excellent, and he made us feel genuinely welcomed from start to finish. If you're visiting Gaucho Beach, definitely ask for Josue--you won't be disappointed.

Being from Long Beach but moving away and seeing all the changes that has taken place throughout the city is quite amazing. Long Beach was not what it's like today. Now it's a place where there's so many things are happening and restaurants and shops are scattered everywhere. Cluster of area are trendy, blocks are full of amazing restaurants, massive new apartments complex replacing empty lots all through downtown. And of course this place. I remember when it was just an empty spot where it's just the beach, the park and parking lot. Now it's a pretty cool beachfront restaurant and bar right on the sand and bike path. It's been so long since I left that I'm not quite sure how long this place has been here. I've seen it often when visiting walking the path or meeting friends for dinner down the street. Plus seeing post about this place and hearing from friends, it was finally something that needed to be done. Friday afternoon, just as happy hour was happening we popped in for drinks. Nothing major just something to have while checking it out. Checked in with the hostess which we mentioned that we wanted drinks and not brunch. She mentioned that the bar area was full but followed her anyways which they did have seat available. There were plenty of open tables but not sure if we were able to have one if we were just having drinks. She never offered it to us. Anyways, bar seating was fine. It wraps around. Menu for happy hour was decent, a good amount of drinks as well as food items. We had to get someone's attention so we could order. Normally you would get acknowledged when seated at the bar but it didn't seemed like they even noticed us. Finally someone, placed our order for some drinks and then some food. Drinks, beer on tap and one of the red sangria on happy hour. Beer, you can't go wrong with it. Sangria's, it was nice and refreshing. Had a few fruit chunks mixed in. Food, we shared an order of the mussels. They brought out the meal but no extra plates for the shells. Also, no utensils which we had to ask someone sitting across from us to pass some down that was sitting there. And shells were placed onto a napkin. Anyways, the mussels were quite nice. They were pretty small in sizes but the broth was very flavorful. The restaurant itself is quite beautiful. Downstairs has the bar with some nice table seating looking out to the bike path and beach. There's also an upstairs which we didn't get to check out. Overall, the place is quite beautiful. Service was a little slow until we got someone's attention. Drinks were good and the mussels were tasty. There's a small parking lot out back but just to the side , a couple minutes walk is a bigger lot. read more

Beautiful view, you're right on the water. Staff was sweet. The problem was the food wasn't good. We ordered the guacamole, fish and chips and mussels. I was told the mussels were good. The guacamole tasted preserved; and left a lot to be desired. The fries were limp and the fish (chips) were really bad. They were kind of crisp, tasteless, with a watery substance coming out of them and there was something hard in one of them. Not appetizing. This is my second time here. My first, it was delicious and I think I remember a different menu. I didn't order a drink this time, just ginger ale. Given the view, I may come back for a drink, but no food for me. read more

Really was excited to try this place out for the first time. I had seen so many awesome videos on instagram that i definitely thought it would be worth the hype, but i definitely was not impressed. Actually I was a little bummed. The service was super slow, the drinks were on the smaller side and very overpriced and the food was not the best and arrived to the table cold. Server was absent most of the meal he forgot the rice to my lomo saltado which sucked because by the time I was able to bring it to his attention I was half way done with my meal. Another thing that didn't sit so well with me was that the restroom was really dirty. All in all not a great experience but definitely an awesome location! read more

The food was great! We ordered the filet sliders, and the caramelized onions really made them stand out. The ambiance was lively, and the huge TV made it a perfect spot to watch the World Cup. Unfortunately, the service was unbelievably bad and completely took away from the experience. Our server never introduced herself or welcomed us she simply walked up and said, "Are you guys ready to order?" and that was the extent of our interaction. After dropping off our order, she essentially disappeared. We sat for what felt like forever trying to order a beer, but she never checked on us. I finally had to ask another server for help, and even they told me, "Your server should be coming," but she still didn't show up. When she eventually returned, she tried to take my beer order, only to tell me they were out. Fine, no big deal--but she still didn't refill our waters or ask if we needed anything else. Our sliders arrived with no napkins, no share plates, no extra ketchup, and no follow-up to see if everything was okay. We finished our meal with empty glasses and had to ask a busser for the check because our server was nowhere to be found. Even then, the check never came until she finally wandered back over to ask how everything was. I understand it was a busy day, but being busy doesn't excuse being completely absent. A little communication and basic attentiveness go a long way. The food and atmosphere were excellent, but the service was so inattentive and impersonal that it overshadowed what could have been a great visit. read more

Came here for brunch on a Saturday. I love the R&B vibes. The place was crowded as they were showing some of the World Cup games on a big screen, which was pretty cool. I said at the bar, my friend and I ordered a bottle of champagne Chilaquiles and ended up having drinks after. This place has a lovely view and aesthetic. My only issue was that when we ordered Chilaquiles with protein, they did not come with eggs, even though eggs were on the dish on the menu. There seem to be a discrepancy and our server brought us a side of eggs when we requested it. Other than that I would definitely return. we also enjoyed an espresso martini and a Mercado, which was very refreshing. read more

If you're looking for a place that has amazing food, a great view by the beach, and exceptional service, Gaucho Beach is the place you should be at!!! My boyfriend and I sat on the rooftop and were lucky enough to have Kamilah as our server. She was incredibly attentive and so kind, always checking in to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying everything. She even suggested their Redbull Coconut Mojito, and I ended up falling in love with it. She truly made our experience even better! If you have her as a server, you're definitely in good hands. As for our food, it was so creamy, juicy, and so full of flavor! I got their Sea Bass and my boyfriend got the Gaucho Burger, both dishes were so filling I honestly wish I had room for more. The best part is how pet friendly they are! We were able to bring our dog to dine with us . Definitely will be back, I loved it here! read more

Baby when I tell you Gaucho dont owe us anything BELIEVE IT! First time experience was thee a best. Let me give a major shot out to our waiter Rene Mathias (please forgive me if I spelled it wrong) we were fully taken cared of. Honey we were the vibe so that set the tone. We waited for nothing treated like Queens. Let's talk about the food. We had chips and salsa, pass. Ceviche Nikki i think with ahi tuna 10/10 flavors were amazing. Bread and chimi soft bread sooooo good. Buffalo wings standard. Paella ummm depends on your taste buds i wouldn't order again. Ribeye steak medium amazing flavor skirt steak amazing flavor but mashed potatoes DEATH ROW!! We made a little fuss and was accommodated. The manager and our server Rene R made our experience TOP TIER. We will be back for girl time. Overall this place is 9/10. Had an amazing time. Can't wait to go back. Oh did i mention its right off the beach so optics were perfect. I appreciate the hospitality, food and amazing drinks. read more

I'll give Gaucho beach restaurant and bar a 1 start only because our waitress was super nice and understanding thanks and the location is very beautiful right by the beach, but other than that, the michis taste like Bloody Mary's the fish and chips, are really horrible the fish smells super fishy, the batter from the inside is undercooked and it's more batter then fish! See photos for reference. The only thing on the menu I would recommend are the mussels, even though half of them were shells. The wine sauce was delicious, used it to season everything else. Won't recommend. Only for regular margs or beer on tap. Or fries. read more

This was our first time visiting this restaurant on a Sunday evening, and I was genuinely excited to try it. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill from the moment we arrived. When we got there, we stood waiting for several minutes before the hostess finally acknowledged us. We asked if there was availability for walk-ins, and she told us there was a 25-minute wait, even though we could clearly see several empty tables. We decided to wait, but while waiting, we needed to use the restroom. We were shocked by how dirty and poorly maintained the restrooms were. It immediately raised concerns about the overall cleanliness of the restaurant. Eventually, we received a text saying our table was ready. When we checked in with the hostess, she led us to a table that was still dirty. I asked if that was the only table available, and her response was, "You can go look on the other side." My husband and I were surprised by the lack of professionalism. We walked around and found other available tables, but they were also unclean. At that point, we decided to leave. I have never experienced such poor customer service or seen a restaurant in such disarray. Between the dirty restrooms, unclean tables, and dismissive attitude from the hostess, the entire experience was extremely disappointing. If a health inspector had walked in that evening, I imagine there would have been serious concerns. Sadly, what was supposed to be an exciting first visit turned into a frustrating experience, and we will not be returning. read more
