We ate there last week and had a wonderful meal. All entrees
selected by our group, El Gaucho steak, T-bone, Rib eye, Veal chop, and
Argentine grill were excellent. Our service was great with Nancy. We
were wondering if we could get the recipe for the condiment you served with the
meal. I believe it was a mixture of parsley, garlic, red pepper flakes and
???. We would greatly appreciate it because it will remind us of the
wonderful time we had when we prepare it at home!

El Gauchos’s was highly reccommended to us by no less than YOUR local
police Chief, he said, “It has the best food on the island” he was so
right. we will be seeing you again. Many Thank’s for a beautiful evening.,

still rate you as the best restaurant we have ever eaten in. We tell
everyone we know that goes to Aruba to eat there!

I travel on vacation 4 or five times a year and this is one of my
favorite restaurants in the world. I always try to make reservations ahead
of time so I’m not disappointed. No trip to Aruba would be complete
without dinner at El Goucho!

I visited your restaurant last May while on vacation from San Diego,
California. I’ve never experienced a steak like that before in my life!!!
What a great evening. The ambience is festive, the service is first class
and the food is prepared deliciously!!! I will return to El Gaucho FOR
SURE, on my next visit to Aruba. I have never been to any restuarant quite
like El Gaucho here in San Diego, but they need to incorporate one here!!!

by far was El Gaucho! We hope that you consider a restaurant in the USA. Please
let us know the steak sauce secret or market it, so that we may have it at home.

We have visited Aruba four times within the last two years.
Customarily, the first order of business is to ask the concierge to make
reservations at El Gaucho, not just one night, but two! Hands down, you
serve the most delectable steak I have ever tasted. We tell everyone we
know who plans to visit Aruba El Gaucho’s is a must! We know about 30
people out of 60 who will be visiting Aruba next week and we have told them all
about El Gaucho’s! Thanks for the memories.

We have visited Aruba 4 times and everytime we are there we go to ElGaucho at the
beginning of the week, and again right before we leave. The Gaucho steak is fabulous and
the garlic sauce on the side is to die for. We’ll be back in May and our first stop is
ElGaucho’s,

not the measurements. Does anyone know the amounts of each of the ingredients?
We were told to use Burgandy wine, vodka, simple sugar, and cinnamen.
