El Gaucho in Aruba

[Planer's Edge]

Has anyone eaten at El Gaucho in Aruba? I have eaten in Argentinean Steakhouses in the past and really enjoyed them. Can anyone compare this to an authentic Steakhouse?

El Gaucho's is fabulous. I'd never had Argentinian steak before and it was excellent. Enjoy!

Anyone else have opinions on this restaurant?

Is this a regular steakhouse, or the typical Brzilian steakhouse where you pay one price, and waiters walk around with meat on big skewers to offer you????

This is just like a regular restaurant. You order off of the menu. It is a very popular restaurant. Lots of people on the aruba forum site (not cruise critic) rave about it. We really enjoyed it and plan to go back when we stay in Aruba again this Feb.

El Gaucho is an Argentinian steakhouse famous for it's Churasco steaks.

 

For Brazilian steakhouses you would want Texas de Brazil or Amazonnia.

oooo Texas De Brazil was one of our old time favorites.

 

(we ate at ElGaucho too.) http://www.elgaucho-aruba.com/index.html

 

we sat thru a one hour time share at occidental and they gave us a $100.00 gift certificate to dine here.

 

Texas De Brazil is 49.99 a person. plus gratuty and drinks.

 

but if you sign up on their website (within 4 weeks before your cruise)

you get a coupon for 50% off.

 

Between the two-- I loved Texas De Brazil

I have been to El Gaucho's many times over the last 10 years. It is the best place and best steaks I have ever eaten. Many locals go there and it is their favorite place to go. I would highly recomend it.

I did and it was very good

Can anyone tell me what the average prices are? Their online menu does not have prices on it. Is it similar in price to L.G. Smith?

Thank you.

 

I finally got some numbers back from El Gaucho and they pretty much reflect your number.
