We ordered a variety of empanadas and every one was a hit! The chimichurri sauce is a show stopper! Fantastic place with excellent service!

I recently visited Che Gaucho in Tomball and was excited to try it out. The staff was welcoming and the service was nice, but unfortunately the food did not meet my expectations. The meat was quite chewy, the quality wasn’t what I had hoped for, and it was too greasy for my taste. I really appreciate Argentinian cuisine, so I was a bit disappointed this time. I hope the restaurant can improve the quality of the meat because the atmosphere and service were good.

When we went for dinner, they only had one other table of customers. The atmosphere felt very intimate, very date night-esque. The restaurant felt a bit warm, but they had a portable AC going. Our server was Harrison, and he was very friendly, attentive, and answered all of our questions with a smile. We ordered provaleta (grilled provolone cheese with tomato, olive oil, and oregano and toasted bread) for an appetizer, milanesa de pollo (seasoned breaded chicken breast) with asparagus and mash potatoes, Lomo a Caballo (center cut filet mignon with two fried eggs) with fries and Parmesan fries, 4 empanadas (chicken, mushroom, chopped beef, and ham and cheese) and for dessert, a maple apple empanada a la mode, and banana dulce de leche empanada a la mode. We paid $128.79. The appetizer, was incredible. The cheese had great flavor, the bread was soft and flaky. Perfect app. The empanadas, we could tell we made in house, very fresh and full of meat and cheese. What was really cool is they stamp the name on them, so you know which one is which. The milanesa was surprisingly juicy. Usually chicken that thin has dried out, but I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't personally like the mashed potatoes but my husband did. The asparagus was delicious, on the softer side. The Lomo a Cabolla, was the most tender and juicy cut of steak we've ever had. Surpasses our favorite steak houses by miles. Packed full of flavor, the egg on top made it that much better. Would highly, highly recommend this dish. Dessert, was incredible. Very delicate, yet not overly sweet. My favorite was the banana dulce de leche. They do have seating for 40 diners, and outside tables as well. They also have a huge map at the entrance, you can pin where you are from, which I think is super cool. The seating was comfortable. Overall, it was delicious and I highly recommend you try them. It's a perfect date night spot.

Tastiest empanadas by far!!! Clean, family friendly and superb Argentinian cuisine.
Kudos to Harrison for the attentive service and congratulations to the chefs and owners!
Che Gaucho is an outstanding Argentinian restaurant in Tomball that offers a variety of Argentine cuisine but is particularly noteworthy for its steak options and empanadas.
This was actually our 2nd visit to Che Gaucho... the first time we visited I enjoyed our meal so much I forgot to take pics! 😳 So this time I decided to take a few pics and write a proper review.
The Missus had the Entraña (skirt steak) with Ensalada Tomate Y Cebolla (tomato and red onion salad), while I went for the Lomo a Caballo (center cut fillet mignon topped with 2 fried eggs). We also shared some Salteña ground beef empanadas as well as some Papas Fritas a la Provenzal (potato fries with garlic and parsley). All was outstanding and the steaks were wonderfully seasoned. They also have plenty of other choices, none of which seem to suck. But I'm just saying, you cannot go wrong with the Lomo a Caballo (or the Ojo de Bife ribeye steak, which I had on our 1st visit).
Definitely be advised that Che Gaucho is not a fancy place - it's a family run gig that sits in a strip mall and it can be easily missed if you aren't looking carefully. It's not too noisy and they do keep the place clean. Just don't expect to see fancy, foo-foo Fogo de Chao type digs. That's not how they roll! But they more than make up for their slightly humble settings with fantastic food and friendly service offered in English or Spanish.
The only downside I found - and the only reason I gave them 4 stars on service - is because their service can be slow during busy times, due to limited waitstaff. The night of our visit only one waiter was attending an entire packed restaurant, and it took them about 45 minutes to bring our meals. So if you come to Che Gaucho, just act like you're dining in Buenos Aires or Cordoba or Salto. Take your time, be patient, and you'll be rewarded! And don't be a jerk to the waitstaff, they work hard.
Highly recommended for intimate dining, those seeking secret places off the beaten path that taste great, and most of all for lovers of steak! They might have quicker service in afternoons, but weekend nights tend to be jammed - they do take reservations so wiser individuals should try to get a table in advance.
Not a good place for impatient folk or monocultural diners who simply can't grasp that South Americans can grill awesome steaks. (Guess what? They do!) Should be OK for family meals also - I saw a couple of fams there during both visits. If your kiddos or that grouchy uncle of yours are really finicky, just get 'em the Gaucho 6 or 10 inch cheese pizza! It's really gooey, and it should keep them quiet for awhile anyway. 👍

Any empanada at this place is grrrreat (as Tony the tiger would say).
The rest of the food was ok. We like it.notjing special but ok.
I would recommended to stay with the empanadas.. either dine in or to go, but empanadas.
They sell you frozen empanadas to go and then at hime you can heat them up in the air fryer or any regular oven and will taste AMAZING !!.
It's a great option to have a nice dinner at home with friends.
Also their gaucho salad is great !! Very much recommended.
Servers were very very helpful and nice.
The place us nice and clean.

We've visited a few times now but it seems each visit, the experience goes down. The waiter was clearly overwhelmed along with kitchen staff. Father ordered a beef sandwich, the meat was chewy and fatty. They were also out of many items including the Caperise Salad, creamer and bread. We asked for more appetizer bread but he said it was out but could get the sandwich bread. He didn't tell us we would be charged for it, but he clearly was serving that for the guests that arrived after us. My mother asked for coffee and we waited over 20 minutes for it and we decided to cancel to which he responded oh but it's almost ready. We asked for things and he would forget.
