Gaucho Beach - Entrance - Sandwiches Near Me - Long Beach, California

I had high hopes for this place, it's on the beach. Seemed to have a decent menu and the photos looked cute. I showed up and there is very limited parking for the area and it is paid parking, of course. when I walked in from the parking lot no one greeted me, and there was no area to check in. I wandered around for a while and noticed there was a hostess stand close to the beach side of the restaurant. I waited there for a while and no one was there or came up to me. I walked to the bar and waited almost another 5 minutes before I could get anyone's attention. Finally got to order a drink but kissed happy hour by 5 minutes which of course the wouldn't honor even though I was there about 15 minutes by this time wandering around looking for help. I asked the bartender about a table and he basically said, Sit anywhere. Grabbed a seat and waited over 5 more minutes to get a menu. Once we ordered food it was slow to come out. We ordered ceviche which came with a measly amount of chips. When we asked for more they said it would be an extra charge for the price the food was subpar, you'd be better going anywhere else besides here. Unless you're on the beach already and want decent overpriced food and drinks, then walk over,but expect crappy service. Don't even get me started on how gross the bathroom was. which of course you need a code to get in, but you can't get anyones attention to actually get the code. read more

Very disappointed with how Gaucho Beach handled the World Cup final. They advertised that they would be hosting the final and opening their doors at 10:00 AM, with no reservations accepted on game day. We arrived early, expecting to enjoy the full pre-game atmosphere. Instead, because there was a marathon taking place in Long Beach, they left hundreds of people waiting outside in the middle of the sun without any communication or updates. They didn't let us in until 12:00 PM, right as the match started. We completely missed all of the pre-game coverage, the opening show, and the team introductions--the very experience many of us came for. What makes this even more frustrating is the lack of communication. If they knew the marathon would delay entry, they should have informed customers in advance instead of falsely advertising a 10:00 AM opening. I'm posting this review before the game is even over because this has nothing to do with the result of the match. It's about poor organization, misleading advertising, and a lack of respect for customers who planned their day around this event. read more

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

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

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

This place was so nice and the ambiance was amazing with a great view of the ocean. The drinks were good and the food was ok.. I had the chilaquiles with asada which I loved but everyone else wasn't feeling their food. The service was quick, we walked up and sat down immediately. I would definitely go back and try another dish . Great choice of music is always a hit 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.

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.

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

Food was great, location is awesome and our server Josue was very helpful. Recommend the chilaquiles.

They are the worst!!! 10 out of 10 do not recommend!! my friend and I went to check it out for the first time and it was the worst experience. The service was slow. The staff was rude. The food was mediocre. To top it all off the manager/bartender kicked us out at 10:05pm. Saying " we have to clean you have to go" We were shocked, so I asked him his name, Fito! It's not worth it do not go. It was just my best friend and I at the bar finishing our 2nd round of drinks, and he said we had to go?!?!!!!!! What the heck... but the man and woman next to us didn't get kicked out. The people across the other side of the bar did not get kicked out pictures to follow. I've never been treated with this level of disrespect! read more

It's a shame this amazing location is wasted on this terribly ran establishment. After making us wait 10 minutes in the sun, this place somehow managed to mess up everything, even chips and salsa. Luckily our server understood how bad the food was and was able to replace it with something better and was able to rush our beers after making us wait for 20 minutes. The location is stellar, but I wish someone with more vision and passion would make this place what long beach deserves. 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

Our bartender was busy but really cool, we liked him and appreciated his hard work. We waited about 30min for drinks. White girl at the bar is rude af and will rather put on her shades than check on customers who need to be attended. She has a dirty flask on her bar full of hair. Crazy how I pushed a dirty tray out of the way and she rudely pushed it right back. She was also yelling at the servers, they were asking why she was taking so long on tickets. She got a cosmo returned cuz she didn't make it right. There was a very nice gentleman who wasn't even in the bar who came to check on us at the end and honestly came to save the bar. The drinks were good and the wait wasn't bad but if we come back, we hope that girl isn't here she really killed the vibe. 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

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

Gaucho Beach - Sandwiches Near Me - Long Beach, California

I was really disappointed with my experience at Gaucho Beach. The biggest issue started with the host. We waited at the front while she stood having a conversation with another employee instead of acknowledging or assisting us, even though there were multiple parties waiting behind us. It gave a poor first impression. Once we were seated, the service didn't improve. Our waiter took our drink order, but it took a long time before he came back to take our food order. After ordering, we experienced another long wait before our food finally arrived. What stood out the most was the overall atmosphere. The staff seemed unhappy and unmotivated, which made the restaurant feel unwelcoming. Good customer service can make a huge difference, but unfortunately that wasn't the case during our visit. read more
