Randomly dropped by this place and made it in time for happy hour. Cool and stylish place when it comes to the interior.I'm picky when it comes to my meat and the Entraña has always been a favourite of mine. Best Entraña I've had north of the US boarder. Also really good fries that were well seasoned and the chimichurri was good also.This meal was just what I wanted!

We visited this restaurant for the first time, it was my Mom's birthday and I wanted to surprise her, but it was nothing of what I thought. The place looks elegant, but the food wasn't that great considering the price we paid. After they delivered the food, I was shocked that mine didn't arrive with the other meals, it was only when someone came to our table to ask if everything was OK that they realized they screwed up. I was not hungry by the time they brought it to the table (20 minutes after the other meals arrived) and I asked for it to go. The waiter came with the food to go and as he was putting the food on the table he said and I quote " I have one little problem, I do not have a bag for you to take your food to go". Just like that. A restaurant that expensive and they does not have a bag for you to take your food to go? Said the "ran out yesterday".... Wow, just wow.I realize a good ribeye can be a little fatty... but mine was mostly fat..and about 1/ 4 in thick, not a steak.Mashed potatoes arrived cold and tasted like instant. Empanada was weak in flavor and very fried and doughy.The forgotton Paella dish was very watery.Margarita was weak, mostly ice.Martini came with no olives...I got to pay $280.00...for this disappointment.We won't return.Note: I felt the servers tried... but there is a deeper problem at this location.

Pasadena Gaucho Grill : A relaxing lunch spot on a Friday afternoon with friends. Manuel provided excellent service. Everyone enjoyed their order: Gaucho Burger with fries, salad & empanada, rotisserie chicken with salad, grilled chicken with salad, vanilla ice cream for dessert. Parking structure nearby is convenient and free.

I came here for a quick bite. Sat at the bar. Still waiting for someone to come so I can pay. It has been 20 minutes.

One of if not the best steak I've ever had. Location was friendly and welcoming and the staff was amazing. 10/10 would recommend.

I have a bit of a mixed review about this placeWe went there for my daughters birthdayI had the MilanesaThe meat itself was good, tender, but very dry and very under seasoned like it needed something.But I tried my sons New York strip steak and that was deliciousThe rose sangria is so so but it looks very prettyThe waiters were nice, the place has a nice look insideAnd my daughter was happy with the cake they brought it was almost like a bread puddingThe reason we went to this place was they had no reservations available at Nicks.I must say the hostess was sweet and up beat.I would go back probably more for like a lunch not for a birthday celebration.Why? I just felt the whole experience was lacking something, a little dull.

Vegetables were such a poor presentation and were so over cooked, they were inedible. Sea bass was also over cooked and dry. Overall the food was such a disappointment for such an expensive meal and we ate nothing. Sad to have such poor quality. We won't be back.

This place is beautiful inside, the staff is nice, and the drinks are good. With that said, the food has no flavor. You expect empenadas to have flavor, and there was none. The vegetables were very bland, almost like they were just grilled with nothing on them. The mushrooms tasted very plain. The salad with parmesian was okay, but the parmesian appears to come out of a shaker and not fresh. We truly expected more.

Every server said something different and we didn’t know what was going on!!We ordered medium well but meats were well done! The server brought desert at the end to made up for it, which was nice.The taste okay!The atmosphere and design of the restaurant is very good and stylishThere are plenty of parking in back for free and lots of shopping stores are around
