El Gaucho Real San Juan Reviews
I just visited last friday for the first time and I LOVED it. The food was EXCELLENT, (my steak was PERFECT! Exactly how i ordered it to be) the people were super nice and the entertainment was Great also!! I will be visiting again this upcoming friday night.
This place is really nice . The atmosphere is inviting . A bit dark but nice . Music nice n soft . Employees are very friendly and knowledgeable about their dishes. A must visit if you are in the area. Will not be dissatisfied at all . The food quality is excellent.
Great place and amazing food with Argentinean empanadas and meats. It has a very chill vibe with karaoke at night. Great for date nights and get togethers.
Good food. Great service. We shall return.
A small and very good Argentine restaurant. It has an international atmosphere but keeps the "porteño" attitude (as well as a tropical can allow) that characterizes old restaurants in Buenos Aires. Open for business early Saturday mornings, you should try the Lujanero Breakfast. And, of course, the empanadas are excelente.
Authentic and delicious Argentinian empanadas! Fresh and many options to choose from. I highly recommends it!
My favorite Argentine empanadas! Lujanera, ham & cheese, and guava cheese are my go-to. Service is always awesome and they’re welcoming and friendly. The space is tiny, though, so I recommend taking your order to go. Also, they sell their empanadas frozen by the dozen so you can bake them at home.
Awesome, healthy, empanadas served with a smile. A bit pricey, though, but so good!
The food was questionable, at least for us. Not well prepared in terms of presentation and how the plate was supposed to look (it was cooked). Drinks, they tasted weird...the mixology was not quite right. Fact: the bartender will not taste the drinks because he doesn't drink. The atmosphere, very, very old school...the place was too dark for my taste. I won't be going back.
The food was good but they charged me for something I didn't ask for.
Overall experience was good, because there was a singer and we had a great time. Food and drinks are ok You might try coconut mojito and sample Tray.
Parking, service & location good. Parrillada very poor.
Amazing coffee and service Food was very good though a bit pricey
The restaurant setting was really good with live music. On the other hand, the service was quite bad since they took our order one hour since we arrived and kept messing up the orders in general. The menu was very limited and most of the items were not available. Once the food arrived (and late) it was very bland and stale. The empanada was quite good though.
It was our 4th time in this Rest., but last night food was a little dissapointment.fetuccini were hard as a rock and no alfredo sauce.they deliver it separately in a little jar. I request Rib Eye medium and was raw and cold in the middle. No vinaigrette was deliver for the salad neither some salt that I ask for. The fish was ok; not excellent but ok.the ambient very good.
Service was too slow almost 40 minutes for toasts with cheese and a coffe. Enviroment seemed friendly but it also seemed selective. Overal would not visit again not really worth the wait.
Extremely overpriced coffee for the quality, staff took 15 minutes to make it and on top of it the whipped cream was completely frozen making the Cappuccino cold before arriving at the table. No choice of seating, stale staff. I travel a lot by land and plane and visit TONS of places accross the states and caribbean, but this is the WORST place I have ever been in Puerto Rico. I do not recommend this place for coffee.
