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!

Cholesterol Free. Imported from Italy." It was NOT "pure", it was Canola Oil with some Olive Oil. I wrote to the Company (Western Gourmet Food) and this was the answer:"Thank you for your comment and concern. We will direct your comments immediately to the manufacturer in Italy." I wrote back to the company telling them that this was NOT an answer, that the company should take off the shelves this Olive Oil because it's fraud. It's misleading the consumers. I never got an answer back.

Several days before the event we went to pick up enough prime rib to feed 175 guests. This was my first visit here and they have several locations here in So. Ca. Since the order was placed over the phone his order was ready to pick up and was a total of 8 large boxes. He also ordered beef ribs but they were unfortunately back ordered and were due to arrive the following day. The employee called several other stores, and they were also back ordered. The interior has large walk - up refrigerators, some signage, a few chairs, and a counter for payment. If you do pay by credit card there is a 3% fee added on. The service was friendly and accommodating, one of the employees actually assisted us bringing out the boxes and loading them into his SUV. Overall, the quality of beef was good, and it took many hours to cook over an open pit BBQ. I ended up making 35 lbs of potato salad for the event and my neighbor ended up saving thousands of dollars. Most of the meat in sold in larger quantities although, I did notice that the tomahawk steaks did come in a quanity of 3 and the cost is $75.00 for the entire box. Check them out, I recommend them if your hosting a large event or or party.
