What a great night at El Gaucho -- food, atmosphere, service, and the sangria too!!! After reading reviews, we were all excited about our dinner and we were not let down, as this is definitely a meat-eaters paradise. The decor is classic Argentinian/South American and we were seated right away (as per reservation). As you walk through the many small... more

Eating at El Gaucho was a neat experience. The atmosphere is unique and fun-- you eat off wooden plates amidst old-style South American decor. And I appreciated that the food seemed authentic rather than trying to be something it's not. We got great service from the staff, and we were very happy with the food. My steak was great, and... more

We've been to Aruba many times, and El Gaucho is our favorite restaurant on the island. The food is outstanding! To begin with, the toasted bread with dipping sauces puts any other bread and butter basket to shame. There is a wide array of steak and other meat dishes to try, which are all excellent. Most recently, we ordered the... more

This Argentinian Steakhouse combines great atmosphere with delicious food to take you on a journey directly to a small village in Argentina. You would never know from the outside of the restaurant that you are about to experience a great... more

My wife and I stayed at the LaCabana Beach & Racquet Club from July 17-24 and capped off our honeymoon with our last night's dinner at El Gaucho. The steaks were out of this world: I had the rib-eye and my bride had the filet mignon. Both were cook to perfection and, although all the dipping sauces were tempting, neither... more

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary with my parents at El Gaucho. The service was excellent and the waitstaff was very attentive. We were even serenaded after dinner. The meal started with the conch appetizer. Very good flavor. I had the fish of the day, which was a pan seared grouper. It was fabulous. Nothing fishy about the flavor... more

HORRIBLE. I ordered a small filet and asked for it med-well. When it was put in front of me I know right there that is was still mooing. Asked to have it sent back ( you know that it was spit on) and cooked med-well, like I had asked, came back out and it was still mooing, then the third... more

Just off the main street in Oranjestad. Good food and average service. Should make a reservation for dinner. more

My wife and I ate here for lunch, which was a blessing and a curse. First, the restaurant is in a questionable neighborhood. Given the fact that we walked here, I was glad we did so during the day, as I am not sure I would have been comfortable doing so in the dark. Moreover, we were able to take... more
