Gaucho has some of the most flavorful meats in Pittsburgh. We started off with the Chori-Pollo empanadas- absolutely delicious! I had the Argentino salad adding the bondiola (pork shoulder) - the flavors burst in my mouth from this salad and the pork was sooo tender! My colleague had the carne sandwich with the Vacio steak - so much tender stacked meat he was in heaven lol.. of course the 4 chimmi's topped everything we ate.. Lastly, Our server/bartender Molly is fantastic! She's always in a great mood and is very knowledgeable with the cuisine! She really makes your time there enjoyable! Can't wait to go back for the rooftop patio/bar! read more

Steakhouse with well cooked steaks & a few other options as well The place feels like a higher-end Texas roadhouse Charcuterie app was nothing special, nor was anything I tried other than the steak The steak is served with 3 different dipping sauces, none of which I thought were amazing read more

We were excited to try this restaurant before a Pirates game since it's conveniently located near PNC Park. The food looked great, our server was friendly and attentive, and overall the food was very good. Unfortunately, one employee, an older, thin gentleman who appeared to be the food runner, left us with a very different impression. When he brought out our appetizer while I was sitting alone at the table, he was pleasant and took the time to explain the dish. However, when he returned with our entrees and saw my Hispanic husband, his demeanor changed dramatically. He abruptly dropped the plates on the table, turned his back, and walked away. The same thing happened again when dessert arrived. Instead of the friendly interaction from earlier, he said, "You again?" and dropped the dessert on the table. I can't know exactly what was behind his behavior, but the contrast in how we were treated before and after he saw my husband was impossible to ignore. It's disappointing because the food and our server were both very good, but this interaction significantly affected our experience. read more

The takeout service was subpar, waited about 40 minutes when the attendant started it would be a 15 minute wait. The sandwich was great, but you have to eat it right away or else it becomes a soggy mess. read more

This was my first time is Pittsburgh. We decided to do Gaucho grill since I know it's good in California. This one didn't let us down. It was so good. The steak was so tasty and cooked to perfection. My shrimps were soo good and flavorful. The ambience was great and the waitress was so nice. Definitely looking forward to going back. read more

We were lucky to grab seats at the bar because this place was hopping.....like, "do we hover awkwardly or commit?" level busy. Thankfully, it worked out. Recommend making a reservation! While we were definitely feeling a bit nostalgic for the Gaucho of the past (RIP Smallman Street era), we were willing to give this new-to-us downtown location a fair shot... and it delivered. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive...present without being too present, which honestly deserves its own award. We went with two sandwiches: the carne and the pescado, and upgraded one with the papas, because obviously. Both were delicious and did exactly what we needed them to do: make us stop thinking about ordering more food (for a few minutes, at least). But let's be real, the house-made chimichurris are the main event. The Ajo? Addictive. The Cebolla? My personal favorite. The Pimentón? Tangy and doing the most (in a good way). And the classic chimichurri continues to quietly carry the entire operation like the MVP it is. Washed it all down with some local beers and called it what it was: a perfect night bite with just enough nostalgia to keep things interesting. read more

Everything was exceptional and I highly recommend the Camerones! Delicious! Lyndsey was a delightful server and when I asked if I could have a little piece of bread to dip into the incredible sauce, she informed me that that was a separate item. I told her I didn't need it and that was fine and the next thing I knew, she slipped me a piece at the table. What a sweetheart! The sparkling rosé was so delicious. I'm hoping I can find it at our local wine store. Can't wait to come back! read more

Ambiance was really cool and reviews for this place were off the charts so we decided to give it a shot while visiting from out of town. Personally I didn't really get the hype. The menu was hard to understand and our server was so busy he didn't have time to explain it to us. We both went with what was safe due to the high prices and we didn't want to order something we'd hate. The steak sandwich and chips I got was really good, but worth an hour wait? I don't know, not sure I would do it again. Yinz seem to love it though! read more

Gaucho Parrilla Argentina - Steak Sandwich with chips - Argentine Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Five out of five stars doesn't even begin to do this place justice. My coworkers and I had an extraordinary experience--truly one of the best meals I've had in my entire life, and that's no exaggeration. We started with their three‑course menu, opening with both the chicken and beef empanadas. The flavors were phenomenal--rich, savory, and just downright delicious. We also added the blackened shrimp, which turned out to be an excellent decision; the seasoning had this bold, smoky depth that made the dish ridiculously good. The charcuterie board was spot‑on, featuring a selection of cured meats that were clearly high‑quality, robust in flavor, and thoughtfully chosen. For the main course, we shared the Parrillado Mixta. Wow. The sheer amount of tender, juicy, downright scrumptious meat was impressive, yet somehow we had no trouble polishing it off because every bite--steak, chicken, all of it--was bursting with flavor and cooked perfectly. The chorizo, though, might have been my personal favorite. It had a beautiful heat to it, incredibly juicy pieces, and a flavor that hit you immediately in the best way possible. The potatoes were another crowd favorite. The horseradish sauce they came with was balanced--noticeable but not overpowering--and added a delicious, slightly sharp contrast that worked perfectly. The assortment of sauces they brought out--chimichurri, garlic, red pepper, and more--elevated every dish they touched. The vegetables served with the main course were also excellent, charred just right and full of flavor. Dessert was a type of poundcake along with a shortbread cookie. My favorite was the cookie which was buttery and had a delicious fruit/chocolate filling inside. Our drinks were fantastic as well. I ordered the Bushwick cocktail and a Sazerac, both of which were beautifully balanced, aromatic, and incredibly smooth. The atmosphere at Gaucho sealed the deal. From the moment I walked in, I knew it was going to be a great night. The interior is warm, sophisticated, and intimate without feeling stuffy. Our team sat upstairs near the additional bar, though the downstairs area has an even better vibe. The staff were wonderful--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Our server in particular was exceptional, and the restaurant is lucky to have her. All in all, an unforgettable night. Anyone local absolutely needs to come here. Too bad I live in Rhode Island, but if I'm back in Pittsburgh, I know exactly where I'm going! read more

Such a nice atmosphere. We managed to get a table upstairs and had a great waitress. We started with the Camerones that were cooked perfectly and come with some great seasoning and a tasty sauce. The rosemary, charred lemon and pimento chimmi really give some wonderful flavors. For our mains, we had sandwiches which our also very tasty and good. The Carnes, a nicely grilled steak sliced and topped the grilled peppers and a chimmi churri that was so flavorful. The Braised Beef is a favorite and has some rosemary and garlic topped with a nice horsey sauce. A really nice place for a relaxing dinner. read more

We came here ahead of a concert across the way. Having a resy was helpful, but also perplexing. When we checked in, they had us wait a while even though tables were available. Our waiter was very helpful and kind, making sure we were taken care of and set in time for the concert. Food wise, it was just fine. I got the salad with fish and it was average. Seasoned fish with greens. I did enjoy the sauces that came with the empanadas to add something to the salad. Hubs got a slow cooked chicken dish that he thoroughly enjoyed. It works if you're looking for something nearby though do recommend resys. read more

What a disappointment with the food and the price. Ordered the filet mignon at $75 and was extremely disappointed. The amount of spice on both the steak and the potatoes made them inedible. I expect Argentine food to be a little spicy, but this was to the extent of ruining the meal. We will NEVER go back here to eat again. The steak was extremely spicy and even the potatoes were hot as well. This is not good food .. it is mediocre food that is overpriced and a chef/kitchen who thinks this is good Also .. Merry Everything and Happy Always is offensive to Christians read more

Cool Argentine restaurant right across the bridge from the baseball stadium downtown. Happened to be in Pittsburgh from out-of-town and decided to hit this spot out due to all the great reviews I see about it online. Walked in at around 3 PM on a Friday afternoon, no reservation needed. Not many people there at the time. Both bar and regular table seating was available - I chose to sit at a table. 3-4 PM is the last hour of the restaurant's lunch menu; after 4 they switch to a dinner menu where there tends to be a larger crowd. Ordered to Carne steak sandwich at the recommendation of the waiter. I would've gotten the Braised Beef (most popular item on menu) with no onions or radish but the waiter said the onions and radish basically make the sandwich so he recommended I get the Carne sandwich instead. Sandwich comes with choice of chips or a small salad (I chose chips). Gaucho Parilla offers a happy hour on Tuesdays-Friday from 3-6 PM featuring $2 off bears and half-off appetizers, including the offering of 2 empanadas for only $7.50. I didn't get any appetizers but ordered a local IPA called Fire on the Hill which was pretty good, nothing special. The food came out pretty quickly (10 minute wait at most). All sandwiches are served on Ciabatta bread, which for me was different though the bread was fine. Overall the sandwich was good (not great). Tasty, though they included more red peppers in the sandwich than I would've liked. Will probably try something else on the menu if I return. Good restaurant with a nice ambiance inside, though it struck me as being maybe a bit overrated given the all the excellent ratings I see online. For me, more of a solid 4* restaurant rather than 5*. But would definitely recommend if you've never been and happen to be in town! read more

On a short work could be decided to have dinner and wanted something that was different from typical American Cuisine. Gaucho Parilla Argentina seemed interesting. I wouldn't bucket it under Argentinian cuisine but more themed as such. The atmosphere was more like a bar like atmosphere and casual. The shrimp was fabulous. The other items were decent. The hostess was friendly and attentive. She repeatedly came to our table to refill our waters. Overall it was an okay place with some good options. read more

Really delicious food, and this place is great to share food with the table. I would absolutely come back.

Went here for date night and it was awesome deliciously great time. We had a reservation at 7pm, which I highly recommend you do. The restaurant has two floors. There is an elevator there which is good for anyone that cannot utilize the stairs. We were seated on the first floor, but I will say the environment is quite loud. Our server was great - he was professional, polite, and attentive. My wife and I only ordered drinks the main course and were so glad we did because the food portions were big! We ordered the braised beef sandwich and house-cut vacio steak. It was absolutely delicious! Our meat cooked to perfection and the flavor was fantastic. Mixing the Los Chimmis with the meat really added on the flavor! We left super full and satisfied. I highly recommend Gaucho for a nice date night out. We will definitely be visiting again! read more

Stopped into Gauchos after a rain delay at a Pirates game and had a great experience. We were able to grab seats at the bar and get served right away, which was perfect given the circumstances. They had a Pirates game day special with a Miller Lite draft and a glizzy, which was a fun and easy option. I also ordered the carne sandwich with chimichurri sauce, and it was absolutely amazing--packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The side salad was fresh and really good, which was a nice addition. I also tried the Sandía y Tajín cocktail, and it was delicious--super refreshing with just the right kick. Overall, great food, quick service, and a perfect stop during the game delay. I'll definitely be back! read more

If there were more stars available, they would be given! Do not pass this place up!!! We couldn't get a reservation for 6 during dinner hours that worked with the timing of our schedule so went for lunch. We will be talking about our experience here for quite some time. Just incredible. Not a huge space, but super welcoming and comfortable. There's a bar, tables, and an upstairs. Not sure if there's tables up there or not. It is an open kitchen concept. The cooks even say hello and walk by to make sure all is well. There's no way I am going to remember every single thing that we ordered as I was part of a large party, but I will tell you that whatever was ordered was absolutely delicious. There was silence once our meals were delivered as we were all thoroughly enjoying ourselves in the amazing flavors that were in each dish. There was a special grilled peach salad, Rosemary Beef sandwich, Burger, Carne, and several appetizers. There's also a tray of 4 sauces to add to all the things. The grilled bread that is served with them is amazing on its own. All of the sandwiches and burger are served with grilled bread. I can't stress this enough - get all the things!!! Your tastebuds will explode. The quality and flavors are unparalleled to anything you may have had. There are many options in the menu and a wide range of prices. The sandwiches are extremely reasonably priced and come with side options as well. The entire staff here are very friendly and knowledgeable about their food options. You get the feeling that they really enjoy their job and sharing their talent of cooking with you. It is very welcoming and feels like you are visiting a friend's home. If any where within this area, go here!!! read more

Seated via Resy Reservations Food & Drink: 4 / 5 - Mixed drink: Absolutely amazing twist on the espresso martini (according to the description at the time). Unfortunately, do not remember the name, but it was a featured drink and would order it over and over again if I didn't have to drive. - Food: Appetizer - Mejillones en Escabeche: Never had mussels before, but I am always open to try new dishes and this did not disappoint. Served with multiple dipping sauces which were all absolutely sublime. Main Entree - LOMO: Cooked medium rare like a steak should be. Overall, delicious. No issues when it came to the steak nor the potatoes served along it. Dessert - Budin de Chocolate: Not a big sweets fan, and sadly it shows when eating this dish. It was "too" sweet in my opinion, but I wouldn't put that on the restaurant. Just a personal preference. If you like sweet dishes, then this is the dish for you. Service: 5 / 5 - No complaints. Waitress was very attentive and made sure to check in periodically. Provided recommendations and opinion on choices when asked. Vibe: 4 / 5 - Decent spacing in between tables, and overall "rushed" environment vibe, but I like to think of it as efficient. Lighting is decent and from the moment you enter the restaurant, staff is friendly. My favorite part is seeing the looks on people when they got their bill, priceless. Overall: - This is definitely the first time I have been to an Argentinean Steakhouse, but it won't be my last. Be wary if you try to do a walk-in at dinner time because Guacho is a very popular place, so you will inevitably have a wait. No reservation is about 30 - 45 minute wait from what I heard from the hostess to the walk-ins. However, after eating there, I understand why its popularity exist. The food in every way is delicious except for the cost. In no way is Guacho a "budget-friendly" restaurant, and in my opinion you definitely pay more for the atmosphere. I have heard "hacks" from other people to get more bang for your buck and plan to try them out next time, but since it was my first time at Guacho, I had to try the steak. Why else come to an Argentinean steakhouse, right?!? Definitely plan to return, and try other items on the menu. Recommend? Yes read more

Gaucho Parrilla Argentina - We got shrimp and charcuterie board!! - Argentine Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I think I can agree why Gaucho Parrilla Argentina has won so many awards for being one of the best restaurants in Pittsburgh, PA. And honestly, you'll get it too once you try it. Every bite was genuinely delightful. It was one of those meals where you just savor everything. We devoured the food, and it didn't take us long at all to clear the table. I was actually getting a little sad as the plates started emptying out. We started off with the Los Chimmis and Tostado, Parrillada Mixta, Paella del Gaucho, Vegetales Mixta, and the Con Pan Carne (the vacio steak sandwich, recommended by our server). Everything was so good, we just couldn't stop there, so we ended up adding the Con Pan Pollo (the chicken sandwich, also recommended) because honestly, we just weren't ready for it to be over. Overall, my experience at Gaucho Parrilla Argentina was fantastic! The server was amazing and very attentive. It was such a great way to start off the Good Friday weekend, and it also happened to be my very first time trying Argentinian style BBQ. I'm really glad this was the place I got to experience it for the first time. Let me just say this! You need to order their housemade chimichurris. I had always heard about how amazing chimichurris can be and now I get it. It's a MUST! It come with four different kinds, and they go perfectly with every single dish. Both the steak and chicken we incredibly juicy and tender, and I love how it wasn't overly seasoned. The flavors were balanced perfectly with their special sauces. I highly recommend it to anyone in the area! Thank you for this great dining experience. read more

I liked all four of the sauces that came with our sandwiches. Unfortunately both the bondiola and rosemary braised beef sandwiches were a little dry. They tasted pretty good but it was a little hard to get past that and the hard bread. I know ciabatta bread is not soft but it was so hard to bite off/chew. Drinks were good. Service was fine, not great. read more

Really like Gaucho but I'm only giving 4 stars as they've taken a few rockstar items off their menu (please bring back the Arracherra Flank Steak!!) Recommendations: Provoletta or Camarones for appetizers. The Vacio house cut steak is chef's kiss, as is the Lomo but its significantly more expensive. Pro Tip: Get the Los Chimmis Con Tostado with your meal. This is all 4 of their homemade chimichurris. You can thank me later :) Also, adding the "carmies" (caramelized onions) to a steak is a great move. Finally, do yourself a favor and cut out of work early to make it to their happy hour (Tuesday 4-6pm, Wednesday through Friday 3-6pm). Half-price pequeños (appetizers) - bar seating only and $2.00 off drafts & wines by the glass - everywhere! read more

Surprisingly inconsistent and voofc considerably overpriced for the quality of the beef. Service was not great. For a meal where one pays over $150 one expects that you can get your cocktails before your meal arrives and your toast will not be half burnt. Ordered two cuts of steak--flap and sirloin. One was excellent, cooked to order and properly charred. The other was overcooked and burnt. To be fair, the restaurant supervision came by afterwards, recognized our complaints and reduced the bill. The roasted vegetables, wine, and cocktails were quite good, but if you judge a steak restaurant by the quality of the cooking and the beef, this place has a ways to go. read more

The food is good but so-so on value. I felt like there could have been a little bit more on the plate for the price. The service was excellent. The waiter asked a couple questions and then gave very specific recommendations. I felt like he really listened to what we said because the recommendations were inline with how we answered. The steak and shrimp were perfectly cooked. The decor is really warm and inviting. This is a perfect date spot. I will definitely be back, just maybe leaving the kids at home. read more

Service was great and the ambiance of the rooftop dining was amazing. Wife had the Lomo (half pound filet mignon) and it was perfect. I had the Argentino salad with shrimp.
