El Gaucho Meat Market Anaheim

Love the lomo chivito sándwich a National traditional sandwich from Uruguay
Everything in the menu is delicious.
The best Uruguayan restaurant market in town.

This is the second time I have requested the matambre cut shaved, and once again, my request was completely ignored.

The first time, a rude and dismissive employee cut it like steaks, despite my very clear instructions. When I pointed out that I had specifically asked for it shaved, he told me it wasn’t possible, then proceeded to ignore me and move on to another customer. I later went to Continental Gourmet—just one mile away—and they prepared it exactly as I requested. I even returned to show him that it was, in fact, possible. He laughed in my face.

Today, during my second attempt, I was relieved to see a different employee—a kind Latina lady—and I explained once again, very clearly, that I wanted the matambre shaved, even if it fell apart. While I was purchasing other products, I noticed the same man from my previous visit desperate to talk to her and bad mouth me, apparently instructing her to disregard my request. Sure enough, she handed me the same thick, steak-style cut.

Once again, I left without my matambre. This level of disregard for customers’ requests is unacceptable. It’s not only unprofessional—it’s disrespectful. The staff clearly lack basic customer service skills and take no accountability for their repeated mistakes.

Today was the last time I set foot in that store. El Gaucho Grill and his team have absolutely no understanding of what customer service means.

Make sure you go to Continental Gourmet 12921 Prairie Ave. They are kind and they cut your matambre the way you wanted it, no questions asked.

Thanks heavens for Google reviews.
