Alejandra provided outstanding service at Guachos! She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel homely It's always nice to feel welcomed and taken care of, and she definitely delivered. Great service like this keeps me coming back highly recommend! That burger was insanely juicy literally melted in my mouth with every bite. And the spicy chimichurri sauce? Absolute game changer... rich, flavorful, and just the right kick. It's seriously to die for! read more

My dad and I went here for Father's Day. I will say at first I was a bit irritated by the wait for a table because we had reservations. However, the experience more than made up for it. The ambiance and vibes were electric and authentic, our server was friendly and accommodating, and the food was delicious. We started with empanadas and got steaks for our entrees. I loved the char and the Smokey flavor and mine was cooked to a perfect medium/medium rare. The drinks were also delicious and potent. This is a nice little find in Downey if you're looking for great Argentinian food and margaritas. read more

What can I say about my experience today, Well let me start first the food was delicious and my fillet minion was cooked perfectly, Second my drinks was strong and delicious, But more importantly our server Camila gave us the most exceptional service we've had in a while, she was very sweet, she recommended the delicious Spinach and cheese empanadas . read more

Date night was a success!! If you are looking for a chill, relaxed and well served restaurant with DELICIOUS food, come here!! For our appetizer we ordered a beef and al pastor empanada to share... mine and my husband's favorite was the beef! For our main course, we ordered the half parrillada and it was delicious!! We ordered the meats medium rare, which were cooked perfectly. The chicken was to die for! Not dry at all! The spicy chimichurri and bread was a great addition, we had to order more. We had William for our waiter and he was very accommodating, to all our questions and switches on our side. We will definitely be recommending Gaucho Grill Argentine Steakhouse to our family and friends! *Willam stated they get their meats delivered or picked up daily, the meat is never frozen** read more

My family and I came here for Mother's Day, although honestly we would be happy to come to Gaucho Grill anytime! Outdoor area is well-covered, has ceiling fans for circulation, and shades when the sun starts streaming in. Their patio is dog-friendly, so my little rescue dog got to enjoy the atmosphere with us. The restaurant had a special menu for Mother's Day, but the brunch was only available on Sunday and we came on Saturday (having the date listed would have helped, but our server Daniel was gracious about it). We ordered mussels to share, extra bread - always fresh and so delicious, and a short rib empanada which is packed to the brim inside a buttery, flaky crust. The broth for the mussels was a bit on the salty side, but paired well with the bread. For entrees, my parents got the beef and chicken skewers, which are served with a side of rice pilaf and watermelon radish. My dad's filet mignon was very tender, but also overly salted. I had the ravioli with meat sauce, which had to have been the meatiest sauce I've had with a ravioli dish before! A quick note, Argentine cuisine is known for serving huge portions and cooking chicken very well done by default (I had the privilege of visiting the country a couple years ago, and can confirm this is exactly how they do it there!). I found the quality of the cooking to be consistent with the Gaucho Grill in Buena Park, but honestly enjoy this area more since there are other activities to do and see. There is plenty of parking in the adjacent lots, though it can get busy at peak dining hours. read more

Empanadas are great, but that Tomahawk Ribeye's got me feeling primal! It's massive, grilled with a gentle char, and easily feeds a small army of hungry friends. That said, consistency can slip. We asked for medium rare once and got well done, which stings for a cut like that. The ambiance is dark and moody, but the service brings all the warmth. Workers are friendly and receptive to feedback. Thanks for all the tasty memories! read more

not gonna get into it, but the love and flavor just wasn't there on any of the items. the temp of the steak was great as med rare, but altogether it missed me and I wasn't feeling it. I did love the warm service from the server. very attentive and inviting. left feeling more hungry. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but I was honestly disappointed. I ordered the steak medium, and it came out overcooked, with some parts burned to a crisp. The meat itself was dry and lacked flavor, and it didn't come with any sauce, which made it even more underwhelming. Aside from the presentation, there wasn't anything particularly special about the dish. That said, the restaurant itself is nice, lively, and the customer service was good, which is why I'm still giving it a few stars. Maybe I didn't order the right dish, or it was just an off day..but based on this experience, I don't see myself returning. read more

Friday 12:00 to 15:00 pm 03.13.2026 Had a hard time parking around noon. Parking lot is shared with many Restaurants and a 24hr fitness gym. Pending when you come to this restaurant. Parking maybe tough to find. Hit and Miss Arrived at the Front Counter. The Seating Host was taking her sweet time calling customers and verifying their reservations. While the place is not crowded, she kept talking on the phone. About 3-4 minutes goes by as she continues to verify reservations on the phone. I was entitled to say, how about you hang up the phone and have us seated first then continue verifying reservations! My patience was wearing thin, I managed to get a grip of my composure. After she hung up the phone, she said right this way. No apology was given.. just follow me. We had to stop her since we wanted to sit outside versus being sat inside. Another mistake on her part for not offering options. She needs customer service training. Sat a table in the patio. The ambiance was great. It was a warm sunny winter day that day. "About 87 degrees" Ordered a White Sangria and Cucumber Cocktail. We received our drinks and they were exceptionally very good! Given some Bread with Oil which was tasty! Ordered Eggplant Pasta, Salad, and Shrimp Fettuccini. All arrived within 15-20 minutes. Took a bite out of everything. Not one complaint on the Food. Everything was delicious. I will definitely be back! The food is absolutely delicious! The presentation is fabulous. The Restaurant is clean. This restaurant also has a bakery in the back where the restrooms are located. A+ for this establishment. If you want good food in the City of Downey. Look no further. The only negative thing presented in this restaurant was the Sit-Down Host. She needs to learn some customer etiquette and need some training. I would have rated this place 5 star Plus. But this employee ruined the beginning of our experience. Big Kudo for Valery Q. She played Bartender and Waitress for us. She is very sweet and nice. She makes absolutely delicious Drinks! read more

The Buena Park location has this cute market/shop where you can buy cheese, wine, and other cute items right when you enter the restaurant. The venue has a romantic, great vibe with a gorgeous bar area and spacious seating in the main dining hall. For starters, I ordered the beef, spinach & cheese, smoked short rib, and ham & mozzarella empanadas. I also ordered the Gambas Al Ajillo, which was finger-licking good! For the main, I ordered Entrana (skirt steak) Gaucho Style, which comes with 2 sides. Service was great and the overall experience was great! I'd definitely come back for their appetizers and small plates! read more

Almost went a whole year without writing a Yelp review but I guess Gaucho Grill brought me out of retirement. I'll keep it short. I know times are tough out here financially but the portion size on your Tiramisu is absolutely insane! A literal 2 bite serving! Look, I understand it's expensive and I understand that businesses have to cut corners these days just to survive but you can't serve that amount when it's your most expensive dessert on the menu. You just can't. read more

This is my second time coming to Gaucho Grill, the 1st was in Buena Park. 1st off the comp'd bread and chimichurri was delish! I prefer the red, spicy one. Our group ordered, shrimp ravioli, sea bass, salad w/tri tip (I think). Everyone enjoyed their meals. Oh and the Dulce de Leche Flan is a must, if you like Flan This is a huge restaurant and it was packed and cracking on a Saturday at 7pm! If you're celebrating your bday and have a party of 5+ you can get a free meal w/ID! read more

I visited this Argentinian restaurant near my gym the other day. The food was quite tasty, and I tried to eat light since I had just finished working out, but I ended up eating way too much lol.

One of my favorite places to go to when in the LA area. Food is always great here, from the bread they initially serve you, to the empanadas and entree's, you will leave happy. Yesterday, I had a milanesa sandwich that was amazing. Service truly stood out thanks to Lorene and Camila. Though Lorene was busy behind the bar and serving a few tables, she was very attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcomed from start to finish. I cannot recommend this place enough! read more

Gaucho Grill is a spacious, modern Argentinian style restaurant in Downey Landing. It seems very popular and has great Yelp reviews. I ate here a few years ago and remember not being too impressed by the food. So I decided to give it another try. Unfortunately it did not hit the mark again. While the presentation was great and it looked good, I found the food lacking in flavor especially the steak which is the most important part (I had to ask for salt.). Even the appetizer was missing something in flavor. I don't know that I'll dine here again but many people like this place so definitely give it a try if you like Argentinian food. I will say that service is excellent Everyone was very welcoming. read more

I visited Gauchos Argentinian Steakhouse for my pre-birthday dinner and had such a lovely experience. The service was great from start to finish, though the wait time was a little over 40 minutes my experience was attentive and welcoming without being overwhelming. We ordered the shareable half parrillada, and every cut of meat was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. You can really tell the quality of the meats. We also got a side of mashed potatoes, which were absolutely delightful and paired so well with the meal. I tried their house wine and really enjoyed it, it had a nice balance between sweet and dry, making it super easy to sip and complementing the food perfectly. Of course, I had to save room for dessert! The crepe was a solid 9/10, but the flan was a 10/10 so smooth, rich, and the perfect sweet ending to the night. Overall, such a great spot for a special occasion. I'll definitely be back! read more

We went to Gauchos for a late dinner and had such a great experience. Our waitress was Alejandra and she was very attentive and helpful.

Don't not give this business any of your money and or time. The manager was very obnoxious when I arrived for my table that was reserved and confirmed two times along with an app that they use to manage reservations. He was allowing his friends to take reserved table right in front of us for the Argentina game and everyone was complaining. Food is very overrated and the service is trash. Look me up on TikTok and you can see that I dine at the best restaurant money can buy. I post when the service is great and food is amazing. Don't drive to this place as this is the second time this has happen to me so now It's my duty to post this to keep you all from having a horrible experience. read more

I visited Gaucho Grill Argentine Steakhouse in Downey Saturday of Mother's Day and, unfortunately, my experience did not meet expectations. I had heard positive feedback from friends and family, which made the visit particularly disappointing. I dined alone and was seated at the bar. From the start, service felt noticeably slow and inattentive. It took a considerable amount of time before I was acknowledged, and I had difficulty getting the attention of staff even to place a drink order. While I understand that Mother's Day is an especially busy occasion for restaurants, the lack of timely service made the experience feel unwelcoming. As someone unfamiliar with the menu, I relied on input from friends over the phone to decide what to order. However, I did not receive much guidance or engagement from the staff, which would have enhanced the experience--especially for a first-time guest. Additionally, I had to request basic items multiple times, which further contributed to the overall frustration. The food itself was acceptable, but it did not stand out in a way that would justify returning, particularly given the level of service I experienced. While the restaurant may perform better under less busy conditions, my visit left a lasting impression that did not align with the strong recommendations I had received. Overall, I left feeling disappointed and unlikely to return. read more

My mom wants to try a new location so I took her here. Unfortunately, we ordered a lentil soup and we both ordered the Chopped Salad. The soup is too salty and the chicken on the chopped salad is too dry, hard, and no moisture. The salad itself is too sour. As I was eating, I started not feeling well. Have to rush to the restroom andI got really bad diarrhea. TWICE. Have to rush home and use the restroom. The service was okay this time. read more

Ehh... this place felt pretty overhyped. My boyfriend's dad had been wanting to try it, but unfortunately, it just didn't live up to the expectations. The meat really lacked flavor--it needed something more, some kind of punch. It honestly tasted bland. We ordered two short rib empanadas, and while they were tasty, paying $6 for one small empanada felt outrageous. To top it off, the bill came out to around $200--which is wild for such underwhelming food. On the bright side, the service was excellent--our waiter was super attentive. The Paloma was probably the only real standout of the night. That said, we definitely don't think we'd ever come back. read more

Phenomenal! I can't remember the last time I was this impressed by a restaurant. Food: Every single dish was cooked perfectly and seasoned beautifully. This is truly a carnivore's heaven--the kind of place where the quality of the meat speaks for itself. From the moment the food hit the table, you could tell everything was prepared with care. Nothing was bland, nothing was overdone--just flavorful and spot on. Ambience: The restaurant has a unique vibe that instantly makes you feel like you've been transported. It gave me Tulum vibes--laid-back but stylish, with an atmosphere that makes you want to stay a little longer. It's the kind of setting that works just as well for a date night as it does for a family dinner. Mercado Next Door: Another highlight is the Mercado attached to the restaurant. They sell premium cuts of meat, including tomahawks, so you can take the experience home. It's a nice bonus that really sets this place apart from your typical steakhouse. Service: The service was excellent--fast, professional, and well-timed. The staff didn't hover or interrupt, but they always seemed to appear exactly when needed. From the warm smiles when we walked in, to the attentiveness during the meal, everything about the hospitality was seamless. Overall: I was genuinely left speechless and with zero complaints, which rarely happens for me when dining out. This restaurant hit every mark: food, service, ambience, and even the little extras. I will absolutely be coming back--and next time I'm bringing family so they can experience it too. read more
