My husband and I chose this restaurant based on Trip Advisor reviews. We were not disappointed. If you are looking for ambiance, this is not the place to eat (rather dated 1980’s decor). If you are interested in a really, really good steak, you need to eat here. We seemed to be the only tourists in the place. Everyone else... More

Visited on a Thursday night, busy but not packed. Had black pudding for a starter followed by Bife Choritzo (for me the king if steaks) which was cooked perfectly, well seasoned and had great flavour. The beef is Chilean Hereford cooked in the Argentinian style. I think this is probably the best beef I have had outside of Argentina. My... More

The service was good, our waiter spoke very good English. We ordered some shrimps for a starter and they were disgusting, they were not cleaned properly, they still had the poo in them and they also looked soggy and not fresh at all. We both ordered the Rib Eye Stake that was very good, and some mushrooms on the side... More

When ever we visit Vina Del Mar we always go to El Gaucho at least once. The shrimp in butter and garlic was great and they kept bringing us more bread for the juice.... The Chateaubriand is fantastic. My wife likes it rare and I'm more medium. They cut it on the charcoal heater/plate and we both get the meat... More

Appetizers were very average the best. The chorizzo was just okay and the provoleta wasnt even made from provolone cheese! We were a large group so people ordered differet steaks and I tried almost all the steaks on the menu. It ranged from average to poor EXCEPT the ribeye steak which was excellent. If I go back I would just... More

Great restaurant, huge steaks and salads. Optional menu in English and some of the servers speak English as well. Best to split a salad because they are so large, the wine selection is somewhat limited, but you will have the opportunity to enjoy some of Chile's best wines. Don't miss the opportunity to visit this restaurant while in Vina del... More

This place was excellent and a good value for the money. The steak here was one of the best I have ever had and the salads were huge (my dad ordered the spare ribs which were good but not nearly as good as the steak). I highly recommend eating at least one meal here while in Vina. More
