Sunday morning, it's raining here in SoCal, so what better way to start the day than with some…read moreArgentinian pastries and goodies? It was about time I finally gave my review to Gaucho Mercado in Downey. They open at 10 AM, and of course I was the first one in line . I went a little overboard and got a dozen and a half facturas (Argentinian pastries), some goodies, two ham & cheese pebetes, and some chipas. No regrets! This place never disappoints. Everything is made and baked right there, and you can absolutely tell. The facturas were fresh, soft, buttery, and tasted like they had barely made it out of the oven. The chipas were warm and cheesy, and the pebetes made the perfect savory addition to my pastry haul. But what really makes Gaucho Mercado special is the experience. The customer service is always great--good conversations, plenty of laughs, and that warm, welcoming Argentine vibe. For a little while, you forget you're in Downey and feel like you've been transported straight to Argentina. Rainy Sunday + fresh facturas + mate/coffee = felicidad.

Afterwards we bought some skirt steak to grill at home and a bottle of the medium spiced chimichurri to accompany our meal that evening. The skirt steak is a bit pricey but so worth it because it was very tender and juicy cooked medium rare on the bbq grill. The chimichurri sauce is an excellent accompaniment to the skirt steak for a unique and delicious Argentinian flavor!

The tacos de rib eye, especially La Cachetada, are absolutely amazing... seriously next level. Every bite was packed with flavor.

I'll definitely be coming back to try more items. Highly recommend if you're looking for some of the best tacos in the Downey area.

Idk but feel the set up needs a little work. The chile relleno was 10/10. I am not a fan of rice and beans but mom stated rice and beans were good. The all beef burrito was the size of a Mc Donald's little breakfast burrito. A little disappointing, I did ask for a little pico de gallo on the side and they took my word very serious. I order $3.00 + tacos. There was Lengua $4.00, cachete $3.10 and a Taurino$4.99 that included chiccaron. Tacos IMO were not something I would return for.

We've been coming to this carnicería for a long time and have always had good experiences, which is…read morewhy this was so disappointing. We recently bought meat expecting the same quality we've always received, but this time it was noticeably lower quality than usual. Since this is on 4th of July my theory is they purchased cheaper meat due to the high demand. My guests ask where I get this meat so they will never buy from here. One of the reasons we've continued to support this business is because they normally have high standards, so this experience was unexpected. We hope this was just a one-time mistake and that they go back to the quality that made us loyal customers in the first place. We wanted to share our experience because consistency is important, especially when customers have trusted your business for years.

Funny how one bite of something can transport you 25 years back and bring those memories rushing in. That alone made the meal worth it. My only real complaint is that the menudo didn't have hominy, which was a little disappointing. Aside from that, it was really good and overall a great place to eat. The cashiers were okay--not the friendliest--but the butchers were absolute gold. They were super knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely down to earth. You can tell they know their stuff. Overall, definitely worth checking out, especially if you're looking for some good menudo and a solid butcher shop.
