If Tres Gauchos had any struggles of daily operation in the past, those have all been alleviated now. My experience was wonderful and they're handling the pandemic well and appropriately. I walked into the Plaza Mariachi center looking for lunch. A beautiful young lady cheerfully took my order, which was processed quickly and efficiently. I decided to try the hamburger and the chicken wings. The hamburgesa was a thick, half-pound beef patty cleverly seasoned with a brilliant flavor. It came with a fried egg, a buttered bun, lettuce, and tomato. Admittedly, I was also hoping for the pico, cotija, and remolade that appear as toppings on the menu version. They were absent, and they might simply be out of certain condiments as the coronavirus persists. But that didn't detract from the satisfying taste! The chicken wings are smoked until tender, and then fried for a lovely crisp red exterior. Oh they were delicious! They were missing the tequila lime dressing, perhaps another casualty of the pandemic. It's not uncommon to alter one's menu these days. But they were undeniably tasty! A nice surprise were the hand-cut potatoes that accompanied both entrees, fried just enough for that crispy edge while soft and tender on the inside. I think almost any dish will come with these little gems. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Tres Gauchos! read more

Hands down the best place to eat at Plaza ever since the hot bar at Mas Fresco was removed awhile back. The potatoes here are so perfectly crispy on the outside & hot & soft on the inside, something you'll want to replicate at home for sure. The real shining star of the menu i think is the hamburger. The patty has to be higher grade sirloin & the seasoning is perfect. they top it with a perfectly cooked egg, delicious bread & standard burger fixings. My wife & i have both had it & think its a top 5 burger in Nashville even when compared to places like the Pharmacy, Gabbys, & other known burger joints. Large portions & better quality food than you'd probably imagine for a food court type location. read more

Tres Gauchos - Hamburger plate. Literally a top 5 burger in Nashville it's so good - Argentine Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I really like the concept of this place. You walk up to them, tell them what you want, wait for the order, and then sit down and enjoy it. Pretty straightforward. They have some great offerings that I really enjoyed that are not comparable to other places in Plaza Mariachi. I usually will get their beef skewer with a side of plantains and potatoes. Usually, that can turn out 2 meals for me. Pricing for most items are under $10, and portions are super satisfying and filling. Why 4 stars? The wait. The wait can be daunting sometimes. You should not have to wait with the length of time for the food that you do. It isn't necessary. I don't have any other Argentinean meals to compare this to, but if this sets the standard, then they have the bar raised high. read more

A friend told me about this place. Let me just say the Plaza Mariachi is a great addition to Nashville! You feel like you're out of town when you walk inside. This restaurant is awesome as well. We ordered the medium cooked sirloin steak with chimichurri, grilled elote, potatoes with an aoili on the side and chicken with a side of red chimichurri. Everything was delicious!! The chicken and sirloin were cooked perfect very moist. The corn was just right and the potatoes were seasoned perfectly. I would definitely recommend this place!! We will be returning to try different dishes. read more

I usually go for the ribeye, but this particular day I decided to try the steak kabob. The steak was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The vegetables had just the right amount of crisp. The potatoes were pretty basic, nothing to rave about. Tres Gauchos has a great variety of options to choose from. I hate they took the grilled oysters off their menu. read more

Tres Gauchos - Flank steak, overcooked. - Argentine Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

This restaurant is inside of Plaza Mariachi. You just walk up the stand, and place your order. They get your phone number, and will give you a text when your food is ready. They cook your food right on the flame (flame grilled) where you can see it. It is Argentine food. I tried their ribeye and I'm just one of those people that eat Well done meat.. it was pretty good Argentine steak. For being well done, it was so tender. The Mac n queso was pretty ok. read more

I cannot even begin to explain the flavor and amazing aromas this food gives off! Definitely one for the senses. The kebobs (Gaucho or Argentine) are so full of color and flavor. I have never had anything like this before and love to only treat myself once in awhile so it doesn't get old. Healthy with grilled veggies and rice for sides. Must try! read more

Tres Gauchos - Argentine - Argentine Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I went to Plaza Mariachi today with two of my best friends. We decided to get dinner from Tres Gauchos. It was one of the worst experiences I've had at a restaurant or eatery in a long time. My two friends and I ordered at the same time. For one friend her order was brought out promptly. For me and another friend we waited patiently for a half hour as everyone around us was getting their orders brought out. We figured that they were cooking our orders "fresh" and that was why it was taking so long. After a half hour of waiting I went up to the cashier and asked about our order. She said that it would be another five minutes. When our orders were brought out they were cold. It was apparent that they had been sitting somewhere for some time. They remade my order but my friend was so hungry she just ate her's cold. The Chimi Chicken I ordered with roasted potatoes was good but not good enough for me to go back. read more

I'm a big beef eater. I really like Brazilian steakhouses conceptually, but AYCE just leaves me feeling stuffed. Somehow, I stumbled onto this awesome Argentinian grill in a mall. You stand in line and order reasonably priced cuts of beef. They all come with some well-cooked potatoes that I ate one or two off since I'm light carbing. I had the hanger steak which was flavorful. The dipping sauces all were yummy, and the chimichurri was a nice fresh change from the typical worcestshire or horseradish I like. The vegetable side was yummy and fresh tasting and sliced quite thin. The plantains were nice as well. The grilled avocado in addition really complimented the meal. Very easy to minimize the carbs here while still getting good vegetables. Neat environment on a Saturday night with dancing, but finding seating required stalking for a group leaving the tables. Fun food at reasonable prices! read more

Not even close to anything like real Argentine bbq. More like a Mexican fast food version.

This place is not Argentinian it is hot trash served under the guise of Argentinian food.

We've been here a few times (more like 20) and I'm glad I waited to review! A lot of the "issues" others complained about have been addressed: it's no longer an extremely congested version of WhichWhich to get your order placed and paid for. Now, there's a picture board available of the different menu items and you place your order and pay at the same time. I, for one, am super pleased to see that change because it would take a really long time to get your order and "texting" when your order was ready really wasn't realistic because of the awful signal you get in the place. Thankfully, they're aware of that issue so they have free WiFi. Yassss. You can't go wrong with any cut of meat; ribeye is my favorite, sirloin cap second favorite. Veggies, corn, avocado, fries...all of it is amazing and packed soft authentic flavor. So glad they're here and I know they're here to stay!! read more

Tres Gauchos - Inside Plaza Mariachi. I love this place for its authentic architecture and culture. - Argentine Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I was driving around what used to be an out of business grocery store parking lot. I could find Tres Gauchos. It was next to Taj, so I was going to use that as a backup. I decided that maybe it was on the inside of this new Plaza Mariachi. I was absolutely shocked. Plaza Mariachi's renovation was completed incredibly well. It had several stores, a grocery store, an arcade, a restaurant, and a food court. In the food court was Tres Gauchos which is what I came to try. You choose between different cooked to order wood fired grilled steaks, kabobs, and seafood. After 2pm they also offer smoked meats. I ordered the 6oz flank steak and corn on the cob. Oh man it was incredible. It seems like 9oz as the portion was sizable. It came with some fresh pita type bread and Argentinian Chimichurri which was excellent for dipping. It had some The smoked meat had awesome flavor. The corn was as good as it gets as well. The food and atmosphere of the food court is pretty awesome. It was a surprising work lunch. read more

Yeah, everything here is good and worth it to me. I'd post a picture of my food, but it isn't here anymore.

The service is good and the staff very friendly. The picana portion is extremely small and overpriced. The picture in the menu has 3 or 4 fillets and they actually plate has small amount of beef, maybe just one fillet. I would not recommend due price and quantity. read more

Comical. Truly, I was laughing at the end of the experience because it was just.so.bad. Tres Gauchos never has to worry about my business again. The photos of the business and the high price point gave me pause but the resounding positive reviews encouraged me to deny what my eyes told me. That was a mistake. Don't make this mistakes. I'll tell this story in a series of strikes. Strike 1: The order system is confusing and congested. In order to get your food processed, you need to go to the small stand, grab a card and a pen, move out of the way, review the card, mark what you want, hand the card over, go over the veracity of said card with the person behind the stand, give your name and cell number, go somewhere, wait to be texted with your order, go back to the stand, grab your food. Got it? Good. The only (haha) problem with this is that none of this is communicated or posted. You have to figure it out on the fly. This works when you're the only person around. When the crowd is 6+ deep, it's a cluster. Guess which I experienced. Strike 2: After going through the ordering process I was told that what I ordered (chicken) was out. They were out of chicken with hours to go before close on a Monday. Huh? Annoying and a rookie move (stock your kitchen with staples) but this sort of information needs to be clearly posted for customers. Had I known this from the beginning, I probably would have gone to another eatery. At this point, my buddy had ordered, I'd taken the time to go through the ordering process... I was invested. Again, if you're out of a menu staple hours before close, post it. Tell customers. Don't make them jump through hoops only to be told they need to jump through more hoops. Strike 3: After going through all of this trouble (and ordering something that I really didn't want), my order was burnt. Yes. Burnt. I ordered the Argentine skewer and received briquettes. I'm not joking. Not only was my meat burned to a black crisp, it was dry, unappetizing and smelled of fire. My buddy looked at my tray and said 'they served you that?' Yep. Obvious to the eye that this was food that shouldn't have been served. Trying to soldier past it, I took a bite and barely chipped off a piece of the meat. It was desert dry... and burnt. Hungry? I was annoyed and offended this even left the kitchen. If you work with kebabs, you know how to cook and serve them. If you don't know, then don't serve them. You don't give your customer inedible food. One of the PM workers stopped by to ask how everything was. I told him. He followed me back to the counter where I asked for another tray, as this was, obviously, something I couldn't eat. After pouring over the menu again to figure out a third option to order, I made my mind up, ordered and sat back down. The person behind the stand came over to my table three times to amend the order. At this point, my buddy is finishing his meal. I haven't started mine. Obviously. Strike 4: After 35 minutes of waiting for the new order (after an initial 15 of waiting for the first and 10 waiting to order in the first place), I went back to the counter to see what was going on. At this point, one of the cooks came back from the grill to ask me if I was 'the guy with the burnt food?' 'Yes.' 'Okay. What did you order again?' I told him. 'Okay. I'll make it.' Wait. Stop. STOP! Are you meaning to tell me that after making me wait an hour+ for food you screwed up, you didn't have the decency or professionalism to redo my order immediately? At this point, my vision turned a bit Black Swan-ish. Strike 5: My order wouldn't be remade. I would get something different. In fact, the order was dumbed down significantly. I was waiting an hour+ for cubed chicken on a stick and a forgotten order of fries. Strike 6: I went back to the PM employee who asked how things were. I told him I was tired of waiting, incredibly hungry and that I wanted a refund. His response? 'Sorry' with a shrug. I was, about, two seconds away from going full Real Housewives of Atlanta on him. Strike 7: When I went to get my refund, they were so petty as to charge me for the soda I bought. Yes, an hour+ of screw ups on their side didn't result in a sincere apology, an offer to have something immediately available, a request to come back on the house... none of that. For my troubles, I was charged for a soda. Never again, Tres Gauchos. Never again. This place gave me Miami service flashbacks. That's not a good thing. read more

The variety of sauces served with the meals are perfectly matched to enhance the flavors of the accompanies meats. Sides are all delicious.

Located in the busy food court area of Plaza Mariachi, this vendor was a great find! My first time at the Plaza, and their menu grabbed our attention. We got the wings that came with seasoned potatoes. The wings themselves lacked a lot of flavor--didn't have any to be honest, which is why I knocked them down a star. But they did have sauces to dip the wings in, which really helped. The corn (elote) side dish was good too! read more

Tres Gauchos - Wings entree with potatoes and elote - Argentine Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

The skewers are delicious, and a good value for the price. When I went the special was an 18oz dry aged sirloin, and it was very good. Doesn't everyone have a secret or family recipe for chimichurri? I do, and I'm not even South American - so don't be put off by reviews nitpicking this. Yeah, it's probably different than your grandma's, because she's not working here. I found the green and red sauces to be flavorful, and especially liked the red. Also, bone marrow butter is not to be despised. Interestingly, because of the a la carte nature of the menu, it is pretty easy to put together a keto meal here, for those trying the keto diet. A word about the location, in the Plaza Mariachi. This is the greatest mall I have ever been to. Seriously, so far today I've seen a six piece Mariachi band, a jazz trio, a fire twirler, and a crazy fit aerial acrobatic dancer. I ate here yesterday, and I'm back today. Tres Gauchos! A great little addition to the area. read more

im Argentine..if some.one branded a restaurant as Argentine, out of discussion...food has to be Argentine ...not a mix between Mexican and middle eastern ....besides that , and the nasty presentation on a piece a paper???

And Mexican cheese??? that was disgusting.!!!! and please how they dare to put pita bread in a Argentine dish? NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL! read more

Very Yummy fixings. I like the fill in the bubble ordering and texting when the meal is done. I had the Picana that was very tasty and seasoned well. I had the chimichurri verde sauce with it also.

This place is a hidden gem! Everything was fantastic from the gentlemen cooking the food to the actual food itself. A little skeptical at first since they only had plastic knives but that was all I needed. We got the potatoes, corn, smoked prime rib and the 14oz ribeye. Everything was off the charts. What a great deal for the price. I never typically do this but I felt inclined to go tell the grill cook how awesome everything was! Please go check it out you'll thank me later. read more

Thank god for yelp! Would never have made that turn into this joint but the reviews are legit! Almost looks like it would only be a Mexican grocery store or a defunct mall but it's all of the above plus more! Really think they did a great job on the interior and management of the place. It seemed authentic to this gringo. I mean someone said Hola and buenos dias. Made me feel like Mexico (that's a good thing in case you are misinterpreting this review) Moral of the story trust the good reviews and check it out!

Hubby got the sirloin, cooked medium. It was truly one of the best cooked steaks we've ever had.

Prior to this past Thursday January 25th 2018, I would have easily given them 5 stars! The food and procedure has changed and it's now subpar. My previous visit was on November 20th 2017 and everything was excellent. This last visit the food was horrible. I got the carne Blanca chicken and it was bland and dry! There was also no chimichurri sauce to dip the chicken in! The plantains were not ripe and were hard! The chicken in November was different. It was so tender and flavorful and the fresh chimichurri sauce was great. So I'm not sure if this current version is part of the new menu. I used to love the food here. But now I think I'll go somewhere else. The food is not cheap and the tasteless inedible food I got was not worth it. The attached picture is from November 2017 read more

Tres Gauchos - Argentine Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

We took the afternoon walking around the Garden of Earthly Delights that is Plaza Mariachi. My initial plan was to stop and eat at one place, but that was scrapped when Tres Gauchos appeared on my radar screen. My choice was a full rack of pork ribs and, as a side, a small order of Patas Fritas (fried potatoes). The huge slab of ribs were served on a metal tray. I needed a knife to separate those ribs and was only given a plastic knife and fork. That plastic knife just wouldn't do to cut through all that pork, but my NCIS-type pocket knife did just fine. Gibbs's Rule 9 "Never go anywhere without a knife" came in handy. Those ribs were covered with a sauce containing crushed red peppers and lime juice. I was walking on sunshine after eating those ribs. The potatoes were, like the ribs, something special. This may have been a "small" order, but there were lots of potatoes. Each piece was crispy & crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. According to the menu, they have been tossed in garlic butter, crushed red peppers and herbs. Color them Yummy. Most meals seem to have one dish that isn't quite as good as the rest. There was no weakest link in my meal today. Nothing had to take the walk of shame. This was a fantastic meal and deserves five stars. read more

I tried the beef and the chicken skewers. If you want something fresh come here. They were freshly made. I also ordered the potatoes though they were a little oily but still good.

The best food inside Plaza Mariachi. The highlights on their menu are any of the dishes with grilled meats and the skewers. Lots to offer for paleo and keto diets. They also have a hearty grilled potato nacho-like dish that is more than enough to share. Everything is seasoned perfectly! I recommend ordering meat on the rare-medium spectrum as well-done sometimes comes out overdone. read more

Friendly, helpful staff. Cool atmosphere (the 'restaurant' is inside the Plaza Mariachi). Live music in the main plaza, all seating is in that area. Food was good, we had the picadillo empanada, choclos (my favorite!), Papas fritas, and Carne Blanca. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu! BTW free Salsa dance lessons at 7:30 pm Thursdays and Saturdays and from what I was told it sounds sounds like party-time all day Saturdays! Go and have some fun! read more

Half of my steak was fat and the service was very poor. Prices were a little high for the amount of food they give you.

Amazing food. I got the ribeye, my wife got the swordfish. The swordfish was excellent and well worth the price. I would compare the quality to a high end restaurant (swordfish was better than Bonefish). The wood grill left a great flavor on the foods. Also, their sides were just as good as their entrees. Strongly recommend. read more
