    Every three months I come down to Downey for a doctor's appointment and I always try to stop by a place that I never been. Yelp helps me find a spot along the way home. Today I stopped by Gaucho Cafe and bought a sandwich and empanadas. They also sell imported products from Argentina such as olive oil, canned goods, packaged cookies, pasta, candy and more. They have a bakery that serves freshly baked pastries, variety of empanadas. Customer service is ok, parking is spacious. I got a chicken and short rib Empenada to try. The short rib tastes better in my opinions. My daughter got a chicken Milanese sandwich and liked it. Overall a great place to check out while in the area. It's the type of market that I love. Imported goodies ...

    Found this cafe on Yelp but not that much information, so it's a cafe right next to gaucho grill restaurant, diagonal to 24h fitness . The sandwiches totally recommended, same for the pastries and super well delicious , the empanadas not so good , they have to improved their flavor . Place has lots of sitting and big selection of Argentinian foods , staff is the only one that when you order they give you that look like they are lost and don't know what you ordering exist , but overall cool place to try out Background music as you sit is really relaxing

    Love this place! The happy hour to the dinner was such an experience. Matias assisted us, definitely ask for him! He is amazing. Very attentive and professional, yet personable. Will be coming back!

    We went here for my nephew's party, place is a disappointment, we were a party of 13, maybe they have a hard time with big parties. I'll break down my thoughts. Ambiance- 5 stars, Restaurant is super nice, really like the decor, bar area was also very nice. Would revisit to sit at the bar. Service- Super slow, we waited over 15 minutes for just an Ice Tea and other drinks, our waiter was over his head, he would disappear for 20 minutes at a time. He forgot to place orders for appetizers we wanted and gave us some ridiculous excuses that didn't make sense. Even though they automatically charged a 20% service, I usually add more for good service-not this time. Food- I ordered the Picanha, mash potatoes and a Cesar salad. The steak was as I ordered it- medium Rare but both the steak and mashed potatoes were lukewarm, also, the salad was delicious but room temperature. The expectations for the prices is better quality/service but a real disappointment. Had I not been at a nephews party, i would have sent it back. Sucks eating a cold steak.

    I've been to Off Street Cafe twice for brunch. This restaurant is always busy during the weekend,…read moreso we always have to put our names on the waitlist. Luckily, both times, the wait was quicker than expected and we were seated promptly. The food is typical brunch food, but it is high quality, especially considering how quick the service is. Here is a good mix of savory, sweet, and healthy options for any craving. During our last visit, my sister and I really enjoyed the Tuna Melt and the banana pancakes. The best part? The prices are fair for the portion of food that you get! We've celebrated Father's day twice at this cafe, and I'm looking forward to coming back here for future casual brunches and special occasions.

    Food is good. Service it hit or miss. Got there earlier than their usual Sunday rush today and was…read moreseated along the booths facing the kitchen/bar. Was fun to watch the hustle and bustle (and not-so-hustle of some). But BIG note for the manager/owner (and others who are concerned about it), almost ALL the FOH staff was chewing gum while working which is not just a health code violation but also just gross. Hopefully this gets addressed soon. I'll note, my server didn't check on us a single time. We were out of water and coffee by the time our check was dropped off. I will say, facing the back, I did see her (and other staff) go to the back and chew their gum, touch their phones, and drink their drinks without washing their hands and coming back up front (also a health violation, btw). As I mentioned, I've had good service in the past so I'm leaving it at 4-stars.

    Bakers & Baristas is definitely a spot I'd recommend if you're looking for a really good cake,…read moreespecially for a special occasion. The cake I got was absolutely delicious. I will say, the cakes are on the pricier side, so it might not be an everyday purchase, but for a birthday, celebration, or something special, I think it's worth it. They also have some really good cookies and macarons, so even if you're not picking up a whole cake, there are plenty of smaller treats to try. Overall, the quality is there. For a special occasion when you want to spend a little extra on a good cake, Bakers & Baristas is definitely worth checking out.

    Y'all ever order food and wonder if the seasoning took a personal day?…read more Came for brunch and got the breakfast bowl. It was so underwhelming and unseasoned I genuinely sat there confused, like... is this a prank? Did somebody forget salt exists? My honey ordered the smash burger and it was also underseasoned and overcooked. A sad little double feature of disappointment. Service matched the food. Once they dropped the plates, they ghosted. Never table-touched, never checked in. They could literally see the looks on our faces and still kept walking by like we were invisible. We ended up throwing most of it away. I only took the egg and those sad, unseasoned potatoes home so I could try to rescue them myself. The bacon? Delicious. Absolute legend. Everything else tasted like it was cooked by someone who's never met a spice rack. To the owner: please, for the love of brunch, go find the seasoning. It's out there somewhere. We believe in you.
