What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners rave about Tierra Gaucha's perfectly cooked and tender Argentinian steaks, with generous portion sizes that often lead to leftovers. The warm ambiance and attentive, friendly service, particularly from staff like Stewart and Maria, are frequently highlighted. While most experiences are overwhelmingly positive, some guests have noted rushed service during busy periods, though the quality of food and drink typically makes up for it.
"Food was amazing. The grilled veggies and mushroom appetizer were delightful. I highly recommend the shrimp and green fettuccine as well as the salmon salad. The seafood was delightful. 10 out of 10!"

"This restaurant is a fantastic choice, especially if you’re a steak lover! The steaks are cooked to perfection. The staff is friendly and attentive, and they speak English quite well. Plus, the convenience of being able to pay by credit card adds to the hassle. Highly recommended for a great meal in a welcoming atmosphere!"

A great steakhouse/ general restaurant in the downtown area. They have a covered outdoor seating area, but I actually think sitting inside is nice here. I recommend getting one of the “To Share” plates for 2 people (if you are two people).

We go back to Argentina, but this time, we go to Tierra Gaucha Parrilla, where the grill is king. Their menu is a meat lover’s paradise. Start with tasty empanadas or provoleta, a cheesy delight ideal for sharing.
