El Gauchito in Elmhurst

Best dishes of all time😋

Had a really great meal tonight with a few friends. We ordered a bunch of appetizers, I loved the proveleta. We ended up sharing of bunch of dishes, the sweet bread and flank steak were the best tonight.

Went there for lunch, and the food was AMAZING! I enjoyed every bite of it. The service was great, and they were very accommodating. I will definitely be coming back.

I come here for the butcher store. I haven't come to the restaurant. Empanadas are good too. The meet price is decent.

This restaurant has two parts a dinette section where meals are quickly prepared for those on the go and an actual sit down area for a formal dinner and they can accommodate large parties. We got there a little after 7 and was able to be seated right away. Within a half hour the restaurant was packed for a Tuesday. I got the churasco skirt steak cooked medium and it was perfect. The Milanese beef with ham and cheese was surprisingly AMAZING. Not knowing what to expect I didn’t go for it but realized it’s definitely a winner. I plan on working my way they this menu as everything ordered was divine!

Food and service was amazing. Overall great time.

Authentic, lots of grilled meat options, limited vegetable options. Sometimes the restaurant gets very busy and requires waiting for seating and food service. Chorizo is great, steak can get chewy sometimes. Overall a great experience.

Great place for steak! I go there from Brooklyn and buy meat and argentinian products when I need some. Great service and I feel like I am at home.

This Argentinian Steak House Restaurant is very small and I had a 20 minute wait before being seated and It was all worth it !!!I ordered the Parillada and the Entrana ; a selection of grilled meats from skirt steak to blood sausages,grilled liver and grilled chicken breast. My sides included fried plantains, french fries and mashed potatoes.Everything was grilled to a perfect temperature with and amazing grilled taste. I ordered a nice Cabernet Sauvignon to enjoy with all of my meat selection. Everything was exceptional from the service to the food .

The food was really good, an authentic argentinan experience. The meat and service were really good. There was a hidden credit card fee that the waiter didn't advise us of until after our payment was processed, that left a sour taste in our mouths, which is the main reason this restraunt doesn't deserve 5 stars. It would be nice if we were at least told of the fee so we could make a decision on if we wanted to pay it or consider other options.

Had the mixed grill cooked to perfection service was good but if u want to go to Argentina for dinner this is the place

LOVE LOVE LOVE! The food to the service is excellent in this place! Definitely recommend the “Trufas de Pistachios” you will definitely not regret it! 😋

What a hidden gem in Queens. Brought a party of five here for a Saturday night dinner. Got here around 5 and the place was already pretty packed! Portions were large and all the beef dishes we got were very well cooked. Tables were kind of tight in the given space and loud because it was crowded. But understood why because by the time we finished dinner there was already a long line of people waiting to be seated! Would be back for some very filling food.

I came here with my friend who is from Argentina . He told me this was the best around and it did not disappoint. Had to wait about 35 minutes for a table on Saturday night but it was well worth the wait. The staff was great!!! The food and Sangria were awesome. So badly wanted the Flan but after the grilled meat platter I could not eat anything more. I loved the Blood sausage which was some of the best I've ever had. All of the great grilled meat that was on the table and the potatoe salad managed to stand out.

A wonderful experience. The staff and service was outstanding. The meats were were even better. We had 2 parrilladas, one was the completa and the other was solo de carne. Wow, great and just great. We didnt leave anything behind. The meats come with 2 side dishes. We had tostones, papa provenzianas, garden salad, ensalada russa. We celebrated a friends birthday and we stayed a long time and not once did we feel rushed. Will definitely return. My friends love this place, now I know why.

Poor customer service, the waiter took his time to bring the food out and an attitude when we called him to brings us some water and the food was really bad, uncooked and smelling bad like raw meat...I don't recommend this restaurant at all.PS: I got really sick with the vegetable soup like an allergic reaction because of the soup that I've ate at this restaurant.

Tons of fresh meat including blood sausage, maduro, rice and beans. How could that ever be a bad dinner? I went on a Saturday night at 8pm. The wait was only 5 minutes for 2 people to be seated. The service was friendly, but a little slow. The service is similar to how it is in Europe if you've ever been.

If you want a good steak Argentinean style place to come. Cocktails ok sangria very good

The barbecue was OK but not great (the meat quality was bad) The service was not good. The waiters do not pay attention when you call them and they are not polite at all. My glass was broken and I had to ask twice to get a new one. We were not agree with an extra in the bill and the manager was very rude at us. Finally we paid a lot for a poor meal and bad service. I am Argentinian so it was very dissapointed feeling not at all at home in this place.

This place is something of a family legend. We’re peruvian, and have a lot of love for Argentine cuisine, so naturally we have been going to El Gauchito since the 1980s. This is the standard to which we hold every other restaurant focusing on grilled meats, and none of them have ever measured up to the standard set by this legendary place. If you’re looking for great authentic Argentine food, excellent service, and a true taste of Argentina, this is the place to go. Even though we no longer go as often as we used to, every time we go we know we’re in for an excellent meal. Thanks for being a great part of the community, and here’s hoping you have many more excellent years ahead of you.

Just ate at the restaurant . Food wasn’t good at all . Service was terrible . We didn’t get our water like we ask for until entree came out . Appetizer never came out but tried to charge me on the bill . I ask for the bill 3 times before getting it . I ask for medium steak it was well done . The fish I paid $23 bucks for was a frozen fish & it was a tilapia and they called it another fish . I do not recommend this place at all.

The hostess was very rude when I came to the restaurant. My 2 year old was asleep on his stroller and I was told by this man to wake him up. The place was with few customers. He said that the place was going to be busy. He could have made arrangements by simply removing a seat. I have been a client for more than 20 years. This really hurt my feelings.

First time visiting here what a wonderful experience , service on point , food very delicious there’s so many options but mostly meats. The atmosphere very nice music in the background was perfect level,

The best Argentinian restaurant!!! I always order the sanduche de entraña completo to go. I have eaten in the restaurant before and the staff is very friendly and make you feel at home. I also recommend the alfajores

I have been going to this restaurant for about 30 years. Always the same great service and quality of their meats. Also they have a great selection of Argentinian wines (malbec). Their prices are very good, compare to a steak house.

Excelente just wished they had images of the food in the menu so people can see how good the plates look would definitely come here with a group or family excelente chicken breast was great lots of flavor and the 2 for 1 combo on the steak was amazing

The best Argentinian style meat on queens, the place always busy but they have excellent waitress and personal, very kind. They cook the meat the way you ask and always they make perfect. Great family place..

I celebrated my nomination last night in this fine place. I am glad to say that we had a wonderful evening and the venue was absolutely the reason for this happy gathering. The team contributed in a graceful way, the cooking was yummy and my guests were extremely overjoyed. We shall absolutely visit again for more joyful events. Thank you very much.

Excellent service delicious parrillada heaven for the meat lover. Can't say enough about this place been coming here for a few years and always had a great experience

The place had a welcoming atmosphere but the tables were crowded. Food was really good if you're not scared to try new food, in another words you have be a meat lover. The server was awful, and somehow rude with her smearky smile. Then she had an attitude when I asked her to split the check.

Very nice restaurant with great service. Food is authentic. Highly recommended.

My boyfriend decided to go on Christmas Eve to this place. The meat was very good. For desert we had churros, fantastic.

We came herefor the first time and we were amazed by the taste, everything was on point and the service was good.

My family has been going here for almost 20 years. The food takes so long but it's so worth it. I would rather have prepared food than rushed food. This is how Argentine food is truly made. It takes time. These people treat my family like we are back in Argentina. If you want high quality meat this is the place to go to. This is Argentine food in it's pure form. I would recommend the breaded chicken breast!!!

Argentinian food and the setting at this place is great. Good place to relax and unwind. Definitely worth a return trip. The bill was decent.

They sell very good meet, cheese and mate. Good prices. I still don't know the restaurant, but I believe it's good!

Delicious food. Meat was unbelievable. The skirt steak (entraña) was the best! Good wine selection as well. Got some steak to go from the butcher. Will come back

Great food and butcher shop always has the best meats

Make favorite place ever have been coming here for years now. Highly recommend!!!!!

Amazing restaurant, food was superb, the presentation both of the meals and the place where simple and very authentic. We where a group of six and the service was perfect, a lot of people always everything come fast to the table and with and smile. I will definitely recommend this place and come back

I went there a couple days ago with my family. I was very disappointed with their service. We are a family of about 20 people and we wanted to order parrillada and we were told by the manager and we couldn’t do that because he wasn’t going to make money. We weren’t going to order one parrillada for 20 we were going to order at least 5-6 but he basically kicked us out. Another thing it was on a Thursday and the place was empty. I am very disappointed with their service I have never been treated like this and don’t plan to go there ever again

100 percent occupancy and six couples awaiting to be seated. Food tasty and without excess salt or spicy. Very delicious flounder and pea soup. No loud music or people. Next time I will go for churrasco. Regreso pronto

My family and I have been coming here for over 30 years and unfortunately their customer service is very poor lately... Food quality has declined a bit like their short ribs, blood sausage and sausage and the waiters haven’t been attentive during our meals. Few weeks ago when they reopened I called 30-35 min before closing for pickup order and they told me be aware they close within 30 minutes I said not a problem I’ll make it, then he said hold on and proceeded to put me on hold and then hung up. I then called again they picked up and hung up on me. If they didn’t want to serve me they can easily say they aren’t taking orders. Very disappointed because I’ve been coming here for family birthdays and celebrations and they don’t respect their loyal customers. Our family pointed out the decline on their quality of food but kept coming, but now combined with their customer service it’s not worth dropping money.

Argentinian food! The meat, desserts and wines are great! Its a great place!

Everytime my wife and I visit El Gauchito, it's because we want a great skirt steak, or just a great cut of meat on the grill. You will not be disappointed as the friendly staff will be sure to attend to your request in the best way possible. Their sangria is also pretty damn good.

Service is good. Steak is great!

To me is the best Argentina's food.

This is my go-to butcher shop! Surprisingly much less greasy chorizos and morcillas than my neighborhood option (and always in stock :) ). The chimichurri is grade-A and the guys there are super friendly. Gotta love the classic decor too! Gracias, chicos! Nunca fallan

Great food and service I highly recommend visiting if you enjoy steak. The short ribs are a must order

Really good food. Stteaks are on point, never have freezer burn or anthing crazy. The waitresses/waiters are friendly.
