About this spot
In the vibrant La Boca neighborhood, El Gaucho delivers an authentic Argentine steakhouse experience where you must order your meat by weight rather than a set portion. The kitchen specializes in grilling massive cuts of picanha and chorizo until they are perfectly charred over open flames. Expect to finish your meal with a slice of warm alfajores dipped in dulce de leche.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order 'a la plancha' if you want the meat grilled simply with salt, or request 'al vino tinto' for a wine-braised option.
- Ask for a glass of Malbec before ordering; it is customary to share one bottle among your table.
- Save room for a slice of empanadas de carne as an appetizer, but be prepared for the meat-heavy main course.
