After eating at several Argentinian restaurants recently, I've been on a chimichurri kick. I have…read moretried chimichurri sauces from Whole Foods and Trader Joe's but they aren't really very authentic. A friend recommended seeing what El Gaucho might have, so I visited the next day. The market is easy to spot with a big street sign out front. There are only two parking spots in front, one is a handicapped space. There's plenty of parking around the back though. When you walk in, you will see the main market with lots of items and brands I've never seen before. Slightly to the right is their deli counter with lots of meats, cheeses, and other miscellaneous items. To the right of the entrance is a dining area, and another counter where you can order sandwiches, empanadas, pizza, French fries, and drinks. I was laser focused on getting the chimichurri and leaving since I was short on time. It is in plastic bottles in plain view on on top of the deli counter. I purchased the regular variety, but they also have a spicy version. I could already tell this was going to be way better than the other two sauces I tried. I've had it on a steak, and on my breakfast scrambled eggs, and it's in a whole different league from the grocery versions I tried. It looks just like a restaurant chimichurri, oil based with lots of herbs and spices. I just had a nice filet mignon with chimichurri at a good Argentinan restaurant last week, and this chimichurri is about 90% as good. I moved it from the plastic bottle it comes in to a glass jar which will hopefully help preserve it longer, and store it in the refrigerator. I now have no reason to look elsewhere for chimichurri. My friend visits here periodically and says the sandwiches are excellent. I'll have to return again to try one, get more chimichurri, and explore the market and deli to see what other goodies they have.

This place used to be one of my favorite meat markets, which makes this experience even more…read moredisappointing. Today we decided to give them another chance instead of doing our usual one-hour drive to buy quality meat. Unfortunately, it was a mistake. We purchased about 5 pounds of picaña, priced at $13 per pound, expecting a premium cut from a market that promotes itself as one of the best around. What we received was mostly fat. A proper picaña should have a fat cap, but this was excessive -- large portions were simply not usable meat. For the price we paid, the quality was unacceptable. To make matters worse, the store is advertising meat specials at $9 per pound, but once you're there, you're told that picaña is "no longer part of the special," even though it's still being promoted in a way that suggests otherwise. That felt misleading. At this point, we would much rather continue making the one-hour drive to purchase quality meat elsewhere because we only buy the best and expect honesty and consistency when paying premium prices. Sadly, this visit confirmed that standards have gone downhill. We won't be returning.

I got the $15 Italian with everything and it was loaded with fresh veggies, Boar's Head meats and cheese, mayo, mustard, etc. Previously I've gotten sliced meat by the pound as well. Staff is helpful and if you aren't sure what cut you want to buy on the raw meats...just ask! The customer behind me said his Dad wanted pork chops to smoke on the Traeger. They helped him pick the right cut & optional if you want it seasoned or as is. There's a few potatoes, onions, and seasoning in the shelves. A great one stop shop option! (The Char crust brand is great.)

But for $20, I can get a two-meat plate with high quality white meat chicken + beef + fried egg, and feel satiated until late afternoon (might be the peptides talking tho, who knows ;) ). I always call it in, and it's always ready on time. I always get the plate combo (beef + chicken breast), with kale and cabbage salad. Rice is included. I think their mac salad is good, but not worth the upcharge. I do suggest getting extra sauce on the side, as usually the one cup they give isn't enough based on the portion. I also love ordering ahead and just grab n go. This and Urban Grill are both solid options.
