So many friends and locals recommended this place and it lived up to the hype! Great seafood and the short rib tacos are delicious too. The oysters were a great deal and so fresh! Some of the best that I’ve had! Also would recommend the Ceviche de Dia. Delicious chunks of fish that were marinated perfectly and so flavorful! For drinks, the Mach 1 was the standout — a bit spicy and spirit forward! Service was friendly and helpful. Great space that is lively and full of cool decor. Also check out Tiki Cane next door for some great tiki drinks!!

Fish Gaucho served innovative fresh Mexican food. Don’t miss the chicken burrito. Great tequilas. But that said, please stop charging me extra for a small bowl of salsa to accompany an entree I already paid $33 for. It leaves a bad taste in your mouth. That said, I would return for the quality of the food.

Service and food are first rate, but have you tried their bar service? Their service and imaginative cocktails are absolutely fantastic! You just have to come here to experience it for yourself!!

I have been wanting to try Fish Gaucho for a while. We live in the bay, but are in SLO most weekends and don't get a chance to stop in Paso. Today, we stopped in for a quick bite on our way back to the bay and I couldn't be happier. The wagyu tartare and ahi crudo were excellent! Fresno chilis with the tartare added an element to the crudo I otherwise would not have realized it needed. I cannot wait to come back to try other dishes. This is definitely worthwhile!

Outstanding food. The enchiladas were my favorite! We also loved the shrimp ceviche and nachos. Friendly wait staff and food came out quick! One suggestion is to be more upfront about the cost of bottled water, they have complimentary water…but I felt it was a little sneaky about how it was framed at the start.

Amazing Mexican restaurant! Food was fresh and delicious with plenty of GF & vegetarian options. The mezcal craft cocktails were also excellent! The staff is very attentive and friendly. Of note, the patio is dog-friendly. We highly recommend this restaurant and would definitely return.

Absolutely flavorful delicious food & great cocktail mixology. Service is excellent, I love the way, even when another waiter walks by, they pick up what’s finished, even if not on there tables. Fabulous team work & training, with has to be excellent management. Everybody is so ☺️ young and they work so hard.

We had the oysters, the burro, and the ceviche. All dishes were tremendous! Portions are more than ample. Margaritas were special! Service was just right. Go!

Love the food and drinks. They serve elevated Mexican/Gaucho fare. Many items are perfect for sharing. service and location are great, too!

This place is fantastic - if you decide to go it should be during "happy hour." They have fantastic values on all of their food!

Wanted to have some new wave Mexican based on the reviews. Food was OK but pricey. Would've been great to get free chips and salsa to accompany the meal vs $14 price point. Our server was helpful choosing the enchilada slow cooked beef. Salsa for the fish taco was flavorful but needed more fish. Decided to get dessert somewhere else.

Fish Gaucho has good food and large portions—but let’s talk about the prices: absolutely ridiculous. It’s the kind of place where you pay for chips and salsa, and everything feels a very overpriced for the vibe. That said, the food itself was solid. Fresh, well-prepared, and flavorful. The margarita was fine—not bad, but definitely not worth the premium price. Minimal pour, minimal booze, maximum cost. Overall: it’s good enough that we’d come back, but the pricing makes it feel more like a splurge than a casual Mexican spot.

Open all day so great for families with small children who want/need to eat dinner earlier than anyone else. We walked up to the restaurant at 4:30pm and it already had a small line of people outside. We got a table on the patio without having a reservation. Patio is dog friendly. Restaurant is also somewhat baby friendly (they have high chairs but no changing tables in the restrooms). Service is great, front of house and waiters are all very attentive. Food is pretty good but not great. The halibut tacos were good and tasty but fish was not seasoned. The aguachile was too sweet. They are known for their tequila and mezcal selection but the drinks they mix with them are not amazing. The Paloma is ok.

Had our second dinner there November 2025 and it was very good. Indoor and outdoor seating, tho we were inside on a cold night. Crowded, but not crazy. Staff did a nice job with our large group. Great vibe here; fun on a Saturday night.

Met some local friends while passing through Paso Robles and they recommended this place. We enjoyed the great service, the pleasing atmosphere, and the delicious food. I have to knock a star off, though, because the table was unpleasantly sticky. I think this happens when varnished wood tables are cleaned with the wrong type of cleaner? Also, there was no salt on the table and the freshly made chips needed salt. These nit picks are really just for the purpose of making an excellent place even better. Another suggestion: please note that the fish in many of the fish tacos is deep fried. I should’ve asked, but just didn’t think of it. I just assumed that it would be grilled fish. So I was disappointed to find that both my taco choices were deep-fried. That being said, they were scrumptious. Especially the pineapple salsa and the pickled red onions.

Excellent halibut tacos - among the best I've eaten. Then why knock off one star you ask? This time it's for value... An order of 4 tiny soft tacos $36 and at that price, a tiny cup of hot sauce (again excellent) jabbed and additional $2. Really? Remember - they open at 3 pm on weekdays - it took us months to finally drive through Paso Robles at a time when they're open!

worth the hype ? meh, not al all ..,. just an average over priced American restaurant .. specialities tacos at $5 a pop ? -- not worth it .. hanger steak salad? .. again, over salted salad dressing, as in most American restaurants .. my husband left about 1/3 of it on his plate .. hanger steak and short ribs were tasty, but not worth the price .. server was ok, but not very attentive, had to go find the hottest to ask for our check .. its OK to skip this place if you are questioning weather to pay these prices .. Paso Robles has better places to eat in

Some of the food was ok, but the fish tacos were horrible. The churros were raw in the middle and we sent these back, only to wait for a long time to get some more, also raw in the middle. Lovely …

I was pleased with the quality of the food — the dishes were well-prepared, flavorful, and clearly made with fresh ingredients. However, the service delay was notable and quite uncommon based on my experience. At the end of the meal, I ordered a dessert, but the check arrived before the dessert was even served. It took approximately 15 minutes for the dessert to be brought to the table, which disrupted the overall flow and closing of the dining experience. With more efficient service, the level of hospitality could truly match the quality coming out of the kitchen.
