Los Gauchitos

Siempre que hacemos una celebracion no nos puede faltar el CHAJA de los Gauchitos. Desde que lo descubri donde quiera que este corro a buscarlo. A mi familia le encanta y cada amigo que lo prueba queda encantado con ese postre.

Love this place! Food is great, service is awesome, and they make the best chaja on the planet.

First time here and it was great!
Service was very nice and the food was delicious.
I recommend the Gauchito sandwich, the one that’s the most popular because it truly is delicious. The meat was amazingly cooked. Thumbs up for this place

Terrible experiencia. Dos veces dos frustraciones. La primera una pieza de alambre de acero en la masa del faina… la segunda un faina quemado e incomible. Porsuuesto fotografie y envie la queja al dueño pero su disculpa no alcanza para recuperar la confianza de ingerir su comida… Ojo. Alerta…

20 years ago this place was up there with Graziano’s before they got all fancy. Now with the new ownership it’s just not the same. I’m sure the parillero is not the same. The servers are definitely not the same so I guess it lost it’s charm to me. The bakery next door has more items but even the pastries are nothing compared to what they used to offer. It’s not bad but certainly not worth driving 30 mins in traffic like I used to.
The new owners did make better use of the space and have more items in the deli and it makes sense– they also own Nuevo Siglo in Little Havana.
The service is still good and the food is not bad but it’s missing something that the old owners gave it. I was in one of those weird moods where I needed a choripan in my life so I walked into the deli and ordered one.
The sausage was great, the bread was fresh, the roughage was fresh and crispy but they didn’t offer chimichurri or it’s spicier version that I was used to. Again I reiterate, I used to come here 20+ years ago when it was darker and you’d go through a jar of their house made chimichurri as soon as you got fresh bread from the oven because it was had terrific flavor.
I was disappointed when asking for «picante» the girl put a big bottle of tabasco in front of me. This place is decent, you can still get authentic products– just not what it once was.

Great food, great service, and great price! Excellent for business lunch or that special dinner. A first choice! Before, or after a Marlins home game.

Being from Uruguay myself, I am very proud that our little country has made it to the USA in the form of our food through this great restaurant. The staff is very genuinely either Uruguayan or Argentinian (same dialect), so you instantly feel at home. The food is cooked exactly like it would back in the home country too! I highly recommend their parrillada for 2. SO much meat for a great prize. The bakery next door is a MUST for dessert. I do not live in the Miami area so we always go there for lunch before we hit the road and load up on some much needed Uruguayan goodies! If you would like seeing your pizza being made in the brick oven just head on next door to their bakery and watch it live! Highly recommended.

Love this place for lunch, they keep the daily specials rotating so eating here often is easy.
Friendly staff and a basket of fresh bread from the Argentinian bakery (next door) greet you as you sit down.

My GF recommended this place and I decided to take us there to check it out. We went in the evening for dinner and immediately upon entering you get the impression that it’s a quiet, cozy, and dare I say romantic venue (cause of the lighting) where two adults can enjoy a great meal. There was even a live piano player. The staff is appropriately and uniformly dressed. The dining area itself is small, but comfortable — especially the booths and it’s clean, uncluttered and organized. The rear walls are covered with unopened wine bottles that are all clean and dust-​free. There are actually two sides/​areas to the restaurant. There’s an adjacent bakery next door, but it has different hours than the restaurant although that’s where your dessert comes from if you order any.
The food itself is excellent. They serve typical food from Argentina and Uruguay that tastes exactly the way you expect it to. We had the Parillada for 2 which more than filled our empty stomachs with generous portions of meat and choice of 2 sides. Yes, the sides and the table bread are a bit small, but clean, tasty and reasonably priced. Our meal was $ 32 for everything not including drinks and dessert. Oh, and much unlike a previous review, our waitress immediately offered more bread as soon as we ran out! The sangria with dark wine was very refreshing and complimented our food nicely. For desert we had the Chaja which I highly recommend. It was so good that we ordered a 2^nd one to go! I’m definitely coming back here.

…as a big fan of churrasco and steak in general, I try never to miss an opportunity to explore. I’m very glad I stopped in here tonight for a bite.
This is not a fancy steakhouse. Your service will be friendly and the staff will do their best to accommodate your request. White napkin service is not what to expect here. But overall, I was very happy.
The churrasco was cooked perfectly and well seasoned. The chimichurri was excellent and mixed in just the right proportions. I saw the desserts, all homemade, but didn’t try them… they looked very good!
I was not a fan of the wine, and the particular cabernet I chose was not something I would order again. They have other selections that I would encourage you to try.
Remember, it’s good food, just not a fancy setting. So go with an open mind and be surprised when you try that meat.
*if you pay with your card, remember to leave the gratuity in cash!

The food was ok nothing out of this world. We had the parillada for 2 for 32.99 and wine. Calm and relaxing. Service was ok.

Well came here with high expectations, my coworker said this place was legendary and that it had been there for years. Checked my trusty Unilocal and saw resonable prices and good food. I got there and the place was completly empty! for lunch? bad sign.
sat down and was given a menu where the cheapest thing was 13 dollars… and it was chicken. worse sign.
Ordered meat, it was alright… nothing magical. and the sides were tiny.
Wont be back.
OHH but the bread is amazing told the lady and they wouldnt give me more :(

This is a chill place that has live tango music once a month. The place is family-​friendly and the food is good. The server was efficient and friendly. I recommend the pizzas there. Delicious. The desserts are also good. Go when they have live music. Definitely worthwhile.

good prices, decent portions, authentic taste, and live entertainment on weekends.

I’d always heard great things about this place and decided to give it a try during one of my meat cravings. I picked up a parrillada for two for like $ 30 and I must say, I was thoroughly disappointed. It brought a decent helping of assorted grilled meats and sausages, however, I felt the quality of the meat itself was poor and mostly scraps that normally get thrown away. Had to chew that stuff til my jaw cramped just to be able to choke it down. It also came with two sides which turned out to be a single cup of white rice and some boiled potatoes. Definitely not worth the money. While there, I was able to catch a glimpse of some other diner’s plates and they looked alright, which is why I’m giving this place two stars. May go back to try some of their lunch specials.

My husband and I came here for a quick lunch on a weekday because he said he remembered liking it many years back. I ordered the entrana sandwich. It tasted good, but didn’t work so well as a sandwich. I ended up having to remove the steak so that I could cut it with a fork and knife.
The problem I have with this place is that I felt awkward there for a couple of reasons. The place was kind of empty and really really quiet. I just didn’t like the feeling or ambiance. They had no lights on inside the dining area and although light came in through the windows it was a little dark in our corner of the restaurant.
I won’t be returning because if I want similar food I’d much rather go to La Patagonia which is in the same area and is a much nicer restaurant.

Good and tasty without being expensive. It’s a nice place to have affordable dinner. The place looks just okay but the staff was VERY friendly!
I recommend.

I’ve been here before and its like a ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ shot on how the food is going to be. This time around my friend had recommended that I try out the fettuccine alfredo. It was not very good. I left half of my food. The other times I’ve gone I’ve ordered the Churrassco which is good. The service is not very good for the restaurant being empty.

We have eaten here several times. It is in the same building as the Doubletree. I always go here for the skirt steak. This time it was not as good. Not much flavor and their chimichurri has gone downhill. My wife ordered salmon and it had been cooked to death. They are using frozen vegetables that were not even heated all the way through. What was once a hidden gem for skirt steak is not just passable.

The bf and I went here for a quick lunch over the weekend. He mentioned earlier in the week that he had «the best skirt steak sandwich» at this restaurant, so I figured it was worth a shot.
The restaurant is tucked away in a two story plaza many Miamians probably pass without a second glance. It doesn’t look like much from the outside but inside it is quite cozy and homey.
Los Gauchitos is all about Uruguayan cuisine, and considering this was my first official dip into Uruguayan cuisine, I was intrigued by their menu. It has a plethora of meat dishes but also includes pastas and pizza.
A complimentary basket of bread welcomed us as soon as we sat down, which is always a plus for us bread/​carb fanatics. We ordered the Entrana sandwich which was delicious. I’m not much of a red meat gal, but this was a basic, yet tasty sandwich. Bread, meat, lettuce, tomato. There is chimichurri sauce already on the table should you feel the need to add it to your dish. I think the best part about my sandwich was the bread. It wasn’t like anything else I had tasted before — it appeared to be burnt, but when I bit into it, it had a very unique sweetness to it. Needless to say I devoured as much of the sandwich as I could.
Overall a solid place that I would definitely go back to if I were in the area.
