This US-themed restaurant does a pretty good job with its American-style fare. It's in an…read moreinteresting location on the edge of an industrial complex not far from Pratteln Station. There's not much else there that's walk-off-the-street commercial. The decor goes a bit overboard but not too much so. It still has a certain appeal. The interesting part to me is that they call themselves the Kentucky Saloon and Steakhouse, but it appeared from the environs and the menu they were going for more of a Southwest or Old West theme. But those are details. That does not take away from the fact that the atmosphere was pleasant and my experience was quite nice. It starts with the personnel and the wait staff working at the time of my visit were terrific. They were friendly and attentive. I was seated right away and there were no gaps in service. The menu featured some interesting American-style choices, with steak options being the most prominent. I started with the pumpkin soup which was rich and hearty. Bread came with this to make it the perfect opener. I generally go away from red meat most of the time and they did have a few chicken and fish items. I chose the Dragon Fire Chicken. It was served with a generous covering of barbecue sauce on a small bed of beans. Accompanied by vegetables and a baked potato, it was a very filling meal. The Malbec provided a nice complement and the finishing coffee was reasonably good. The prices were expensive but that's more to do with the fact that it was Switzerland. My final bill with a small (10%) tip was 62 CHF (included starter, main, 330-mL water, 1-dL wine and coffee). Given the fact that I find Swiss restaurants to be nearly twice as expensive as comparable US restaurants, the cost was about right in my estimation. I was generally pleased with my visit to this interesting establishment. Given the fact that it's within walking distance of my preferred hotel when I'm in Basel, I'm likely to try it again.

Found this place while driving around and saw their "american" beef menu which looks pretty interesting (they even list a tomahawk!) But since we arrived around 330pm, their "meat" menu doesnt statt until 5pm so we ordered some pasta. Food came out very quick and hot. Good flavor and good service. Definitely tastes house made. Large portions were filling. Would recommend! 2nd Visit on 1 Sep 2019. After our first visit, we were very impressed and decided to try it again. I decided to go for what they were advertising, their T Bone steak and my wife got the Pesto penne pasta. The restaurant was extremely busy so we knew it would be a wait. Everyones food that came out looked awesome so we were excited. When the food finally came, presentation was great, however that was it. The penne pasta taste was off. Just tasted like tons of butter. The t bone was the biggest disappointment. The steak was tough and looked like it was cooked frozen, even though the waitress denied it was frozen, i can cleaely tell it was. Also I ordered it medium rare, it came out medium well.

We were visiting Basel on a vacation to Switzerland, and decided to take a tram across the border…read moreto Germany. We happened upon this restaurant just off the tram stop (tram 8). So glad we did! It was by far the best meal we had during our whole trip. The steaks were very high quality and delicious. Even the steak on the children's menu was excellent (and not over-cooked like they can be on children's menus at restaurants in the US). The side dishes were also very good, as was the wine. Because we were in Germany, the price was half of what we would have paid just over the border. I travel to Basel regularly and plan to visit Mendoza Steakhouse often.

Chips, onions & baked potato were all well cooked and the toppings for the bread were fresh and varied (the red one being properly spicy). Apparently there's a better steak house a couple of stops further up the railway line but no chance of me making a visit there any time soon so for now El Gaucho is the top choice in the area. Made it back here last weekend and things were up to the same level generally although the grilled onions were over-salted. The cucumber salad (ordered in error) was as it turned out a welcome change as a starter.

A proper steak needs to be professionally aged so it doesn't feel like a shoe sole cut off a cow an hour ago. That's what one pays a premium for, it has to bite like butter.

The salad that comes with the steak for free was good but the sauce (mustard) really nothing special and a bit too much oil anyway. The meat itself was very delicious and and didnt cost a lot at all!! Service: The service was friendly. We had to wait A REALLY LOONG time for our soup. The other courses came too fast as we didnt even finish the first one. I dont want to blame they though because the waitress was all alone and still very friendly. The management should employ more people. Ambience: The restaurant itself looks cool and is made in a "farmer"-style Conclusion: The meat is really good and for a very good price! I only payed €28 for a soup, salad 200g of turkey with fries and two drinks! but besides the price and the meat i probably wouldnt come back
