Very friendly service, we had our furry friend and they were very accommodating, gave us a bowl of water for the doggo, sat us in the outside patio, and they were very attentive. The food was good.
We come here whenever we visit. Everything we have eaten and drank here has been consistenly amazing spanning the past five years! If you have had Mexican food is Chicago, you know how amazing it is.

Must try!!!!

The chips and salsa trio are also highly enjoyed, and the decor creates a welcoming environment. The restaurant features friendly staff and attentive service, with some reviewers highlighting particular servers who made their visit special.
The menu includes flavorful hot sauces, which are very hot and add a delicious but fiery kick to dishes. The drink selection features well-crafted cocktails like Cadillac Margarita and Bloody Mary, though some diners note that wine prices can be surprising; the wine list presents a 3-ounce pour at $12 and a 6-ounce pour at $24, with served sizes not always clarified initially. The management is responsive and adjusts bills when needed, demonstrating good customer service.
Overall, Fish Gaucho is recommended for its tasty food, friendly ambiance, and attentive service. Visitors are advised to pay attention to the wine list and inquire about pour sizes beforehand. It’s a great spot to enjoy Mexican cuisine with a lively, inviting atmosphere.
