Great spot for some delicious Argentinian food. The variety of meets on offer look are spectacular. The meat is super tender and the empanadas are delicious! The staff are friendly and helpful. I would definitely like to return here if I’m in the area again. If you’re prone to getting cold, sit in the main area with your back to the fire - it gets quite toasty! They have English menus available

Such an amazing restaurant, service and family business! We have been patronizing the restaurant since it was a small place with a few tables on the sidewalk. The family is amazing and they have always given personal attention! The food is the BEST!! They have the BEST beef in Baja and they know how to cook it on a fire grill. Stop by if you want great food and a good experience.

I've been on the Carnivore diet for a little over 3 years. I've eaten at pretty much every steakhouse in Tijuana and San Diego. El Gaucho Argentino in Rosarito is hands down the best I've had anywhere in Baja California and San Diego as well. Their meats are amazing! Perfectly seasoned and cooked...you need not add a single thing. I've been their twice and it was better the second time. Very affordable prices, excellent service and the restaurant itself is clean and classically decorated. If you want a killer meat-fest, this is the place. Also, my girlfriend loves the desserts.

The food here is phenomenal! I’ve had steak many places and this is by far my favorite place! We ordered the empanada and all of them were great! I highly recommend the tableada! The meat was cooked and seasoned to perfection. Our server Daniel was very attentive! I felt like a king being served. Also we had a little spill and before we could even grab a napkin there was 3 people at our table wiping the drink up and had it cleaned I’ve never seen service this fast in my life! I live in northern CA and I’d drive here just to have dinner here again!

No need to pay extra for the “prime” option. Thank me later. Almost a perfect meal. Maybe a little too salty but I am reaching for any kind of constructive criticism. Happy I finally went and excited to return.
