Argentina in the Caribbean...with a view of Curacao.



After a very busy weekend we decided to have dinner at El Gaucho Steakhouse....This open air restaurant is located on the East side of the Island overlooking a great part of Curacao....we did not make a reservation and walked in to be welcomed by a staff member at the entrance...we were taken to our table, which as many others...offered a splendid view of Curacao by Night...



After having received our Pinja Colada and Corona Beer we proceeded to the soup & Salad station, which is included in the El Gaucho experience. The station offered a delicious variety of 12 salads and the option of chicken soup.
3 different salad dressings were available for those wanting to spice up their salad.
After we had enjoyed our salad and the view ,we were looking forward to our main courses ...consisting of Sea & Land ( Tenderloin Petit cut & 3 shrimps) and Argentine Grill (consisting of pork loin, Chorizo , beef rib & Chicken).
And we were not disappointed.!!The portions were enough and very taste full. The homemade french fries we took as a side order were also some of the best we ever had.














The food & atmosphere was great, but the staff disappointed me ..although they were help full when asked , they could have been friendlier..I hope this was just an "off" night for the staff and that in the future they will smile more, try to up sell on beverage and be more attentive.
After all we enjoyed the evening and I would recommend this Argentinian steakhouse to those looking to experience some of Argentina in the Caribbean... with a view of Curacao!
