I just want to say I just got back home from Aruba,and had dinner
twice at ElGaucho’s it’s the best staek house on the Island we go to Aruba
every year and this thime ElGaucho’s was even better then last year. Thank you

As usual had to have dinner at Elgaucho not once but twice. It’s the
4th time to the island and the 8th time to Elgaucho. It is by far the greatest
steaks I have ever eaten and as usual still waiting for the steak sauce and
pesto sauce to be bottled for retail. If you could please e-mail me when it does
your steaks are the best see ya! in a few months.

We go to Aruba every other year with a rather large group of people
(sometimes as many as 30 people) and we try to get to El Gaucho at least once a
trip, sometimes twice. It’s by far the best steak I’ve ever eaten, and not one
person has ever been disappointed to eat there. We have the Churrasco every
time, and never have to look at menus. El Gaucho is one of our favorite places
in Aruba.

DO YOU GIVE OUT ANY OF THE SAUCE OR MARINADE RECIPES? THE GREEN
GARLIC SAUCE IS UNBELIEVABLE! I LIVE IN GRIFFIN, GA, USA. WE VISITED ARUBA LAST
SUMMER (02) AND I HAVE CRAVED YOUR FOOD EVER SINCE. WE ARE GOIN TO “FOGO DE
CHAO” IN ATLANTA TOMORROW NIGHT WITH HOPES THAT IT WILL BE HALF AS GOOD AS
EL GAUCHO. THANKS FOR ANY CONSIDERATION YOU GIVE MY REQUEST.

By coincidence, I clicked on the site of El Gaucho (nice site &
good steak!). I met the owners of El Gaucho in 1993 (when I lived on Aruba) and
went to a great wedding party of the family in one of the hotels. I hope you are
all fine and wish you all success with the restaurant! “Cheers!”

dinner at El Gaucho. We tell everyone we know that goes to Aruba not to
miss it. The best steak I have had in Aruba. Will be back again soon

I live in New Hampshire USA and have recently visited Aruba. I enjoyed
a wonderful meal at El Gaucgo, which was recomened by family and friends. I
extreamley enjoyed my meal, it was the best I had in Aruba. I fell in love with
the green garlic sauce you serve with the entree and was wondering if you would
send me the recipe. Looking forward for hearing from you.

Quite possibly the best steak I have ever eaten and Houston is home to
some wonderful steak houses. I loved the Gaucho steak and can’t wait to come
back for another. Everything was top notch. Food, Service, and atmosphere all
were wonderful. Also the onions and garlic sauce added a great touch. We loved
our stay in Aruba and El Gaucho was on my list of places to definatlety return.

My wife, son and I first visited El Gaucho last July, but we were all
sick and could not enjoy our meal there. We were back in Aruba last week
and were determined to return to El Gaucho. There were six of us, and we
ate there twice during our stay. Personally, I do not eat that much steak,
but the Gaucho steak is the finest piece of beef I have ever eaten. On our
second visit of the week, I tried the Argentine Grill, which was also very good.
My opinion is that every visit to Aruba should include at least one visit to El
Gaucho….

July. Is there any reason to eat at other places on the island? NO! We have
never tried your lunch, but may do it this time…we’ve eaten at El Gaucho’s
twenty times in four years! Best steak and sangria in the world! We can hardly
wait!

Dinner was excellent, the food and service great. However one thing
that was unpleasant was that the singers went to every table in the dining room
except ours. I was there with my Brother and since we were 2 men the singers
skipped our table. The other patrons noticed and some even commented to us about
it. It is almost like inviting a guest(s) to your home then treating them badly.
Even if the person I was with was not my brother people should be treated the
same. It is not as though all the songs were romantic some were definitely not
such as New York, N.Y. Please educate your singers as this turned a nice night
into an unpleasant one.

All I can say is that El Gaucho is the only place on the Island that is
worth going to more then 1 time during your vacation. I make my reservations
online every year. The staff id the best and go out of there way to help you.
It’s very clean and best of all the steak is the best. Keep up the good work and
I’ll see you in Oct. of 2003. It’s always a must in Aruba.

During the week of 1/2003, my friend and I visited El Gaucho’s in
Aruba. It was an absolutely wonderful experience! My friend
mentioned that he has never tasted a “T-bone Steak” like the one in
this restaurant. He said it tasted like “butter” and continues
to marvel at its outrageous taste. I would definitely recommend this place
and will return in the future when I vacation in Aruba.
