Very cute atmosphere! We ordered the mimosa flight and we all agreed that the cucumber mimosa was the best! We literally downed it, it was refreshing. We ordered the salmon, paella, and fish chips; they all came out so good. Our server was so kind, we forgot our IDs at home and she was kind enough to put our orders in and let us come back just in time for the food to be done. On top of that, the view is beautiful! We will definitely be coming back!

Come here for the view, not the food.I have been wanting to try this place ever since it opened years ago, but I just never got around to it. They are famous for their empanadas, but they do not start serving empanada until 11 am.I arrived right when they opened shop at 8 am with my dog. I ordered the sandwich de miga, which was nicely toasted but it was extremely simple--just a few slices of deli turkey and melted cheese. There was no spread, sauce, or any other filling. This is something that anyone could put together in less than five minutes at home.It tasted okay, but perhaps I should have tried their coffee or smoothie.There was condensation on all of the outdoor furniture, making it hard to find a dry place to sit. I managed to find a dry spot in the shade, and I tied my dog to an adjacent table while I ate my sandwich.You do have to step over detritus from adjacent homeless encampment in the immediate surrounding, but the dining area within the patio was clean.

We had a few recommendations to try this place. It may have been the wrong day, cold and raining outside and the bar opens up to the patio so it was very cold indoors. Clean, trendy place on the beach. Parking was easy and accessible. Service was a bit slow as their bartender was also our waiter, the bar had 8 patrons. Super friendly, polite and gave some good recommendations from the menu.We had the ceviché, nice serving for 2-4 and plenty of hot unsalted fresh corn chips, very tasty with a perfect spicy kick. Bartender recommended the strawberry margarita, tasty but it was a short glass with more ice than liquor or margarita mix, loved the presentation. Hubby ordered the lobster roll and salad, both of good quality and quantity with a pleasing flavor. I ordered the medium cooked flank steak sandwich, very good but wish the bread was toasted so it would be a really warm steak sandwich. Fries were thick, fresh and hot; not too salty; perfection. Service was amazing but slow, the restaurant was busy so the bartender was quite busy.If this place is connected with Gauchos, we would have loved to have had the lamb chorizo meatballs as an appetizer.Anyways, we'll be back!

I met up here for lunch with a friend. They had breakfast and lunch dishes. I thought the service was great and the burger was so good! I initially was only going to eat half of it, but then it was so delicious that I ate the whole thing! Loved it. I also loved being able to eat outside with the gorgeous weather and the beach in the background.

Lu was an amazing server. Perfect she was from Argentina too! Had the Ceviche Nikkei, loved the Malbec sour and red sangria. Dig the music, great vibe.

Found out Gaucho Beach has happy hour so I stayed for drinks. I ordered the white sangria, which was $9 during happy hour. The bartenders here are very friendly, helpful, and welcoming. They make the drinks very good here and it pairs well with the beautiful view of the beach. I met some really nice people here while sitting at the bar. While I am not a fan of the food here, I definitely recommend the drinks and coming for happy hour during the week from 3-6pm.

10.19.2024 - Bestiesx2 October Birthday Celebration @gauchobeach One of my besties really liked this spot and recommended for us to go there for a girls with our little girls' night out. When you enter, it's a seat yourself type of dining. All staff kinda was doing their own thing, so we went ahead and found a spot. They are an order by QR code type of dining. You can place an order with staff, but it might take a while for someone to come to your table. I wasn't too thrilled with the waiting staff because it felt very disconnected, but the food was delicious. They even have a kids menu, and one of the options is steak! Ambiance is awesome since the beach us right in front of you and there's also a playground a few steps away for the kiddos.

Conclusion: I went to Gaucho Beach restaurant, Gaucho Cafe & Gaucho Empanadas. It's 3 restaurants basically sharing a split kitchen. Two are walk-up order and you can take the food to go. The sit down restaurant is self-seating where you basically have to flag down servers. They are all great for groups since you can order and settle your own tab. The food and drinks at all 3 are good. WARNING: The public paid parking lot can be an issue at all times of the day (about $4 to park). The lot is really for the public beach and with that, you get some of everything. Drugs, homeless etc. We were sitting in our car and someone in a white RAV4 backed into us in the middle of the afternoon and sped off. There are cameras so we had to contact the city to try to get video. Not sure if the guy that backed into us works at either of these restaurants or if he was just visiting. We contacted the restaurants right away and they told us to contact the city. I didn't see any security while we were there. Be warned!Service: 3/6: you have to pay for tip first and a differ person comes every-time. A guy came to clean a tabie we were waiting for but he only took the dishes, he didn't wipe at all. So we had to wait and flag someone else down. I'm not sure if they've changed this policy but I sure hope they do.

Such a cute little restaurant by the beach . Got seated quickly, the server was super nice and attentive. The Mussels were so good the sauce they had for it so delicious not to creamy or buttery , the mussels were Not too fish or chewy , just prefect. The guacamole was so good prefect favor. The ceviche was so fresh and filled with flavor the cucumber made it more refreshing.The chips were good as well crunchy and not too salty.The chilaquiles were okay . The coconut drink was OK taste like medicine in a way, maybe because of the Red Bull.The Mercado was so good refreshing. But definitely coming back to try other dishes.

While walking on the beach, a couple of friends and I saw this spot and decided to try it for lunch.We all ordered iced tea and I love that they bring a carafe to the table!We also had some chips and guac, gotta order the Guac!My friend and I shared a gaucho burger and we each got a gaucho salad which was delicious. You just can't beat lunch on the beach! Service was pretty good considering there were only 2 people working!
