Came to Gaucho Grill in Buena Park to celebrate my friend’s birthday back in November and had an amazing experience. The portions were generous, the vibe was on point, and the drinks were excellent. My girlfriend and I ordered the Half Parrillada, and it was absolutely incredible—perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. Our server Celine did an outstanding job and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. I told her I’d leave a great review and I didn’t forget! This place left a lasting impression, and we’ll definitely be coming back for years to come. Highly recommend!

The food is amazing. The service is always great. They have a lot of meats and also have wines and other foods you can buy. Sandwiches-De-miga which are fluffy and delicious. The have Yerba Mate, Alfajores, cookies, and other things to buy.

This is a great place to have a nice lunch or dinner. The food is so fresh and delicious. I love their glass kitchen where you can see them cook your steaks. I usually stop by to pick up fresh meats to take home and cook. I also love their chimichurri jars, desserts, and empanadas. Whenever you don't want to sit down and eat, you can shop for everything you need to prepare a delicious meal at home. Great services, bar, and atmosphere.

I love the food and I like the concept that you can build your own meal by choosing the ingredients and toppings for your meals. The staff was really helpful and friendly.

This Chipotle restaurant chain is a good choice for me as it is on my way home. Great and fast service from the staff as usual I ordered a steak burrito and a chicken bowl to go.

Great atmosphere and staff. They definitely take care of you. Food was decent not over the top but delicious. Only negatives are drinks are very expensive and the Tiramisu was frozen and hard to eat.

Service was great and a nice clean location. Food was great with a few exceptions: one steak was over cooked, their veggie side was mostly potatoes (even though they have a potato side which is almost identical), and the flan tasted like Denny's scrambled eggs.

10/10/25 We came back because we loved our first experience. We chose the same night, Friday night. The only difference is we're coming about an hr or so later. Oh boy, later is a whole different experience. They asked us what we'd like to drink. I ordered the Madala reposado with a large ice cube. My man ordered an Elijah Craig neat. She walked away and spoke to the gentleman bartender. He began flipping through his book. He came over to us and asked my bf what he ordered. He repeated his order, then he asked me the same thing. I repeated my order. He walked away and looked up to all the whiskeys and couldn't seem to find it. My bf pointed out the bottle and said " it's right there on the corner. " So even though they found it, we didn't get served right away. It took about another 7-10 min before we received our first drinks. Food is always delicious, thank goodness. My bf chose the salmon again, which this time was a bit over cooked, but still tasted good. I chose the shrimp tortellini. That was very delicious 😋 😋 😋 😋. I will definitely order again. The atmosphere was alive. There were a lot of people this Friday night, as apposed to the first time around. Ok so it's time to pay... My bf paid with$200 dollar bills. We sat there for at least 10 min and the bar tender said I'll be right with you. We then asked a woman who came around asking everyone if all was ok. She took the money and said,"I'll have to see if we have change for $200 (bills). She went to the meat market section and never came back. 30 min later, I see that same woman handing out food to different tables. I said"hey we have to go, where's our change??!!" Then we see her with our money, going around to all the waitress and waiters asking then for change. We were so shocked that they didn't have change for $200 in the entire restaurant. 😱😱😱. We said all we need is $30 back and we're good. That all we need. You can figure the rest out later, but we gotta go. We love the food and the atmosphere, but we'll definitely go at an earlier hr. And we'll pay with a credit card for a better experience. 👍 ______________________________ We found this place by chance, but boy.... What a place!! Diamond in the rough for sure. Cool vibe. Everyone is professional and friendly. You can purchase your meat from the deli or sit and enjoy an elegant dinner. I had the Evita salad it was very 😋😋 but... I probably will be having the salmon on our next trip. My BF had that and it was very delicious. I had a shot of the Mandala Tequila Reposado and omgosh...silky smooth and delicious 😋🤤. The only negative things I can say is that half way through our dinner a man came in with his big dog and sat near us. Don't get me wrong I don't mind eating at pet friendly locations, however this location is pretty fancy and indoors. I prefer to keep the feel as elegant as possible. Just saying.... That was a womp womp moment that killed.... Killed the vibe. But ...... We will be back!

This restaurant has a really nice atmosphere and the servers were really great as well. The food had its ups and downs unfortunately though. First the empanadas were great I would definitely recommend those every time you go and I also enjoys the drinks. I was not a very big fan of the side option they did not give that much variety and it was pretty much how do you want you potatoes to be or how do you want your veggies. Getting the tomahawk steak which I would say is the most popular item. I wouldn't say I was that greatly impressed fist steak we got was cook well and we asked for M-rare and second steak was pretty rare but we took that one. I did feel that the steak looks large but did have a good amount of fat which didn't give a lot of meat for a plate that is presented as a dinner for two. Once again great service they got us 2 free drinks for the mistake on steaks temp level. I would give this place 5 ⭐ if the menu improved some. Don't know if I would return, but a decent experience.

love their bowls! I wish guacamole can be cheaper because I love it but everything's expensive in LA. So totally understandable. easy to access on my way to work, stable quality and fast service.

Great place to eat Dosa’s for authentic taste. Serving size is big so if you can’t eat more, try to share with someone.

Rex Huang

Great experience at this Chipotle. Very efficient and polite. Many large groups in front of us on a Saturday but didn’t wait long. They now have smoked brisket which looks to be amazing. All in all it was great meal with plenty of seating

Have visited twice now and unfortunately haven’t had a great experience either time — but the second visit was especially disappointing. Our server never checked in on us, and it felt like we were more of an inconvenience than a guest. Basic things like water, napkins, a straw, and even salt and pepper were completely missing from the table. The first time we came, the food was excellent, which made the poor service easier to overlook. But on the second visit, not only was the service worse, but the food was also a letdown — dry and noticeably smaller portions. Really hoping this was just an off day, but we left feeling disappointed.

This review and rating is due to the service we received at the restaurant. Had Christina as our server. The first 20 minutes started off well. She was attentive to our needs and was present. Then something happened. For the last 3/4 of our dinner, our server was nowhere to be found. Two different times I had to wave down a busboy in order to get service. We sat for 30 minutes with empty plates and empty drinks and didn't see her. We ordered an additional side, which she forgot and I had to flag down a busboy to remind and then suddenly our side was served. To top it all off when I ask for the check and put my card down, she stood there over me as I put in the tip. As if that was going to intimidate me into giving her more than she deserved. Honestly, I would have given her zero. But I did a 10% tip instead of my normal 20 to 25% because I know more than likely she shares the tips with the attendant busboys and cooks.. For the record, in our previous experiences at this restaurant we have generally gotten good service. This time was the exception and it was quite disappointing because I really like this restaurant.

A bunch of workers standing around doing nothing. One person helping a line of 8. 20 minutes later, got helped. Coke syrup was out. C’mon Chipotle, you can do better

Absolutely terrible… this is $165 wagyu tomahawk and they messed up. Ordered medium rare but I got cold meat. Also ordered prime picanha. One piece was medium rare and the other piece was well-done. Don’t waste your money here

Sandy Mendoza

I ordered a steak burrito. The steak was chewy and it was pure fat. Very little meat mostly rice it was gross. Didn't even eat it all.

Alex grant

Absolutely terrible! I have a 13 Hour drive just wanted to grab some quick food. I placed my order at 10:20 and they were supposed to open at 10:30. I waited outside and even knocked on the door while the staff stare at me very rudely until 10:45 I went next-door to Jersey Mike’s. A refund was issued after I called to complain. I then left Jersey Mike’s with my food after five minutes and the people were still waiting outside chipotle. Absolutely ridiculous.

01/01/26 I was at this location at 3:45 I asked for chicken the employee must not heard me and gave me a steak instead, no big deal When I looked at the receipt I saw I was charged for steak instead, I approached the “manager” explained to her, she gave me an attitude like I did it in person, she then ignored me and went and helped someone else first instead! Better training needed, I love chipotle, not this location anymore!

Edgardo

This place is consistently a hit or miss. Mostly a miss. I’ve seen more food available in a pantry kitchen on skid row. This place quite literally never has food available. You could walk in and all the meats are not available hours before closing.

Seyong Cho

The restaurant said they don't see my pick up order and told me to contact support. They didn't give me the food although i showed them the app on my phone and they confirmed everything was correct. They told me in a bad attitude as well, repeating the same thing that they can't do anything about it. I had my whole family wait for me in the car during this incident. i order from this location regularly. im so disappointed at how chipotle handles these incidents and treats their customers.

Worst experience. Manager refused to give water unless i pay for soft drinks. Smart way to show increase revenue to their investors. Reached out to corporate, simply no feed feedback. Chipotle going down every year. After 2015 salmonella breakout, double their prices. Manager trying to squeeze out of customers whatever they can to show upper management that store is doing good revenue. ABSOLUTELY ripping off customers. What if something happens to customers while consuming food and dont get water as they cannot pay for it. CHIPOTLE needs to care about customers. 2015 salmonella infections , passing cost to customers and showing management for revenue.

William Palmer

I had the Chicken bowl and the chicken was either not cooked properly or spoiled. I have had stomach issues ever since I ate the chicken. I would not recommend this location ever

Just came with my sister and my mom the girl on the line was a really rude and threw my mom’s plate and said whatever. She had a nasty resting face I wish I would gotten her name. She needs to learn that even though there was a rush. Customer service should always be there. If she simply can’t handle it she should not work there. Leo was very nice and professional he even apologized to us.

Rosa Calixto-Solis

The worse employee I just encountered, she had the worse attitude was not patient and was not speaking loud enough for my group to hear. She threw the plate and said “whatever”. It’s a fast food place, if you don’t have the rhythm and capability to work at such capacity I wouldn’t even be on a front line - client facing serving customers. The worse experience I’ve had here thus far with this specific individual. She was the only girl in the serving in the front line at 1:49p. Leo, her counterpart was the nicest and most apologetic for her horrible behavior. She shouldn’t be working there if she’s truly that miserable.

Shanttel Rodriguez

I’ve been coming to this chipotle for a while as I live down the street. Today I ordered the normal order for my hunny which is hard shell tacos and sides literally on the side so that the tacos don’t get soggy. Today they decided to charge for the normal sides I get, I asked why and the manager who has been there for about a month or 2 said she received some special training and they’re trained to charge extra for sides. I mentioned that she must be new cause I have never ever been charged extra. She made a comment saying that she needs to make a profit. Like girl thats just so professional, I would have expected professional response coming from a manager. So I paid for my sides but I made sure I “made my profit “ in utensils. Thanks Jenn 😘 you stocked up my work break room at work so we can save on profits as well. New management sucks and my family will not be supporting her profits. 🩷

Osvaldo Gonzalez

Just a poor and disgusting looking appearance. Everything was dirty, food was mixed. Ended up throwing up my food a few hours after I ate. Especially after paying $40+ for meals for just my wife and me. Highly disappointed

The Shadowman

I had just picked this up from chipotle and went to take a bite when I noticed it had hair in it literally. I took one bite out of my burrito and I found two hairs sticking out of it. That’s just disgusting and unsanitary beyond words. I will not be returning here anymore.

Usually, I don’t have an issue with Chipotle, but tonight really made me not want to ever go back. I walk inside and the guy is on his phone (in front of another customer). He uses the same gloves that he touched his phone with to grab food for the customer in front of me. Then, I ordered my food and he still used the same gloves. I should’ve said something but I didn’t want to be confrontational and create a scene. So I told him what I wanted and they didn’t have any corn, lettuce, or guacamole. I came for a simple veggie bowl with white rice, pinto beans, cheese, mild salsa, lettuce, corn, and guacamole. They simply told me they didn’t have half of those ingredients and proceeded to charge me for my food anyway. The bowl wasn’t even half way full so I walked back in to the same guy and he only gave me rice. He said that’s why you can’t come at night. I understand it’s right before closing but everything is refrigerator-able so I don’t see the issue of grabbing those ingredients for a few customers (I wasn’t the only one). Don’t plan on eating Chipotle unless they make it right.
