"Paso’s wine country is one of the best in California. But after 48 consecutive hours of cabernet and cheese boards, all you really want is margaritas and tacos. Head to Fish Gaucho, a modern Mexican restaurant downtown with a big space that gets rowdy in a hurry. They have over 80 different kinds of mezcal and tequila, and tasty, seafood-focused Mexican food. The popular order is fish tacos (get the fresh-caught halibut), but their carnitas nachos are a must-order as well. We advise you get a reservation on the weekend." - Brant Cox

I was pleased with the quality of the food — the dishes were well-prepared, flavorful, and clearly made with fresh ingredients. However, the service delay was notable and quite uncommon based on my experience. At the end of the meal, I ordered a dessert, but the check arrived before the dessert was even served. It took approximately 15 minutes for the dessert to be brought to the table, which disrupted the overall flow and closing of the dining experience. With more efficient service, the level of hospitality could truly match the quality coming out of the kitchen.

Amazing Mexican restaurant! Food was fresh and delicious with plenty of GF & vegetarian options. The mezcal craft cocktails were also excellent! The staff is very attentive and friendly. Of note, the patio is dog-friendly. We highly recommend this restaurant and would definitely return.

Fish Gaucho has good food and large portions—but let’s talk about the prices: absolutely ridiculous. It’s the kind of place where you pay for chips and salsa, and everything feels a very overpriced for the vibe. That said, the food itself was solid. Fresh, well-prepared, and flavorful. The margarita was fine—not bad, but definitely not worth the premium price. Minimal pour, minimal booze, maximum cost. Overall: it’s good enough that we’d come back, but the pricing makes it feel more like a splurge than a casual Mexican spot.

Outstanding food. The enchiladas were my favorite! We also loved the shrimp ceviche and nachos. Friendly wait staff and food came out quick! One suggestion is to be more upfront about the cost of bottled water, they have complimentary water…but I felt it was a little sneaky about how it was framed at the start.

worth the hype ? meh, not al all ..,. just an average over priced American restaurant .. specialities tacos at $5 a pop ? -- not worth it .. hanger steak salad? .. again, over salted salad dressing, as in most American restaurants .. my husband left about 1/3 of it on his plate .. hanger steak and short ribs were tasty, but not worth the price .. server was ok, but not very attentive, had to go find the hottest to ask for our check .. its OK to skip this place if you are questioning weather to pay these prices .. Paso Robles has better places to eat in

Pork chops, out of this world. Insanely tasty. Special shout out to the wagyu beef nachos too. Fine selection of beers and cocktails and then of course there's the prodigious amounts of tequila and mezcal to choose from.

Excellent halibut tacos - among the best I've eaten. Then why knock off one star you ask? This time it's for value... An order of 4 tiny soft tacos $36 and at that price, a tiny cup of hot sauce (again excellent) jabbed and additional $2. Really? Remember - they open at 3 pm on weekdays - it took us months to finally drive through Paso Robles at a time when they're open!

Absolutely flavorful delicious food & great cocktail mixology. Service is excellent, I love the way, even when another waiter walks by, they pick up what’s finished, even if not on there tables. Fabulous team work & training, with has to be excellent management. Everybody is so ☺️ young and they work so hard.
