Reviews for Gaucho Grill in Pasadena, CA
Good atmosphere and service was pretty OK. They have some very expensive seafood that's not worth it though ????. Mixed drinks... could have been better...too pricey for the taste. It's cool to go once to experience it, yet would not go back. Avoid thealley next to the restaurant...it stinks. Pretty unpleasant.... Read more

This is our first visit and we are impressed by their excellent service, great decor, and the best Argentinian food in town. We... came here for their dine LA menu. The empanadas were so tasty. I got the entrana and the skirt steak was so juicy and tender. It came with slices provenzal potatoes and they were so good. The New York steak was good as well. For dessert, we got the flanand it was good too. We will definitely return again very soon. Read more
DineLA. Spinach & cheese empanadas/beef: Was Great! I preferred the spinach & cheese. New York steak(medium): wlWas done a... little over but was appreciated! Flavor was there! :) They also had a bell bepper sauce which was refreshing. Dessert: Wouldget the flan over the ice cream. My friend & I did not care for the dulce de leche ice cream scoop. Both were still tastychoices. Inside is nice & they do have a few seats with outdoor patio. We sat outside. It's in a nice area & great vibe. Wouldcome back. Read more
Argentina is surging up the travel bucket lists for young and old alike. Whether you’re lured by the romance of cosmopolitan... city life or in search of legendary steak, the Gaucho Grill has platefuls of charm to suit every taste. The way toArgentina’s heart is through its asado, or barbecue, also known as parrillada. A visit to this amazing restaurant is a mustspending a leisurely afternoon or evening with family and friends feasting on copious grilled meats. This is the national dish,originating from the country’s gauchos, or cowboys, who would subsist on the abundant cows dotting the country’s plains.Expect to find beef, pork, ribs, sausages, blood sausages and sweetbreads hot off the fire. Lightly salted, topped withchimichurri and paired with malbec – this is Argentina. I had called several hours prior to make reservations for 4. Thehostess that answered the phone was very pleasant to speak with and placed my reservation. When we arrived, the hostess wasvery welcoming. At first glance the restaurant was filled with laughter and fun from other guests. The different arromes fromdishes was exhilarating, I could not wait to be seated another moment. We were escorted to our table closer to the kitchen. Thebooth table was very comfortable and sat 4 guest perfectly. Our waiter came over and explained how the menu works and somestaff favorites. We quickly place couple of appetizer orders while still deciding on the entrée. Gus the restaurant managercame over to introduce himself and gave a quick history of restaurant. By the time we placed our entrée orders, the appetizerscame out. The tables entrée were all brought out same time look absolutely delicious. I ordered the tomahawk steak and nowords can describe how good my steak was cooked except for the best steak I have ever had. The staff and managers made everyoneon the table feel like all of us were VIP as I am sure they do the same for other tables. I highly recommend a visit to GauchoGrill, you Read more

From all the Gaucho Grill, Pasadena was exceptional. Food was tasty, atmosphere was good (lunch), but only problem at the... beginning was service. From start we waited a while to be seated, than to be taken or order, also they forgot a dish. I totallyunderstand since it seems there was only one server, and no runner. I felt bad for him since he was doing expo, bar tending andserving. Besides that small hiccup. Palmito shrimp salad was delicious - light refreshing, healthy and creamy since it havesavocados. Calamari was good it wasn't overcooked but it felt like the oil was slightly old. Lentil soup - very tasty lots offavors, from the mirepoix and chorizo. Bolognese gnocchi- sauce was tasty (fatty, creamy and tangy) only issue didn't not hadenough meat. We also order salmon and mashpotatoes both were tasty as well. Overall good place to go and have a good time. Read more
