Gaucho Beach

I visited with my children this summer. I ordered croissants and grilled cheese sandwitch for the children. I was very surprised when the food came out. It was incredibly reasonable and delicious because it was the good price of food sold in California Beach. I ordered 2 drinks after playing in the water at the beach. The drinks were also good. The nice view and taste in front of the beach are also good. However, it took too long to place an order. It seemed like we needed more employees to take orders

Lovely spot with a nice seating area and a beautiful ocean view especially under the full moon.The staff was very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed happy hour drinks before dinner, which was a great addition. For dinner, we tried the mussels, which were absolutely delicious. I had the vegan burger, and it was surprisingly tasty, while my husband ordered the paella, which unfortunately didn’t meet his expectations. Overall, it’s a nice place with a great atmosphere. Highly recommended for the view, vibe, and happy hour!

We arrived here for a Sunday lunch, it wasn't too busy. There isn't a host or anyone to greet you, so we waited a few minutes and almost left until a server said we could sit anywhere. We took a seat inside, and a bartender came out to take our order. I ordered Calamari as an appetizer and let him know I would need a minute with the menu, and he said he'd be back. Calamari was really good. He never came back, and I had to flag him down. He sent the other bartender she came to our table and said, "Yes?". I ordered Chilaquiles and asked for an over easy egg. It came out with the eggs way overdone. I tried to flag them down, but they never came. I had to walk over to the bar to let her know. She said she'll have another egg brought out. Never came, so I just finished my meal. So much onions and chips and not a lot of other ingredients, not a great meal. She didn't apologize for anything. She asked if I still wanted the egg, and I said no thanks, just the bill. Very unfriendly tone she sounded so annoyed. Not friendly, she acted like she hated her job or something. Worst service.

As a local Long Beach resident I have to say i found a gem on the beach !! We usually walk the boardwalk as our daily routine and today we decided to go right instead of our normal left. After a 3mile work out we found our Oasis !! We didn’t even know this place existed. Perfect Beach Views. Open and airy atmosphere with great tunes. We were definitely thirsty and hungry after our workout. Staff was very welcoming. You have the option to order from the QR code or have a server take care of you. I felt like i was on vacation. Drinks are delicious ! Food is yummy !! This will most likely be our reward after the workout lol . I want to return as the sunsets or maybe for a fun brunch with friends and family. So many options. The only downfall was having to walk 3miles back home haha but we worked off the calories.

I’ve been here on two separate occasions both for lunches after some time on the beach. Staff are very welcoming, smiles all round and very helpful. Food is delicious and drinks are very well made. Great location.

Gaucho Beach in Long Beach is a hidden gem that truly brings the flavors of Argentina to the coast. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the warm, great ambiance that perfectly complements its beachfront location. The menu is packed with authentic Argentine dishes—everything from perfectly grilled steaks to delicious empanadas that are crispy on the outside and filled with savory goodness. The staff here are incredibly friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. You can tell they take pride in the food they serve and the culture they represent. Plus, the location is unbeatable—enjoying a delicious meal with the sound of the waves in the background is hard to top. Whether you’re a local or just visiting Long Beach, Gaucho Beach is definitely worth a visit. It’s the perfect spot for a laid-back meal with friends or family, with a view that makes the experience even more special. Highly recommend! Must try, strawberry basil margarita, artichoke dip, shrimp empanadas, the milanesa sandwich.

Since moving to Long Beach, I've been here twice. The food is delicious, the cocktails and mocktails are crafted well, and the atmosphere/location is amazing, so I won't comment on any of that. The service from the servers during my 2nd visit left such a sour taste in my mouth that I doubt I will ever go back to Gaucho Beach for a sit-down meal. 2nd Visit Service Rating: 1 stars Reason: - 40-minute wait before a server even acknowledged us. - The server added a $15 tip to my bill without saying a word. - Not 0 stars only because our bussers and runners were kind and helpful. Details: - We arrived at 4:07, sat down, decided what we wanted. - Spent the next 40 minutes trying to get a servers' attention (There were 2). - Let the busser know twice that we wanted to order. - Busser promised to have someone with us. - Watched busser talk to servers both times. - Servers would check in on the tables around us while seemingly avoiding eye contact with us. - Busser sees this, walks up to Server 1 who was serving a table next to us and points us out. - Server 1 makes eye contact for a second, we smile, Server 1 turns around, goes back to the bar to put smoked drink container away. - We expect Server 1 to come right back but see her chatting with Server 2 and laughing by the bar, before heading to help some other table. - Fed up, I go to Gaucho Empanadas and get 2 empanadas. - Another 5 minutes later (it is 4:45 now), Server 1 takes our order. - Kind runner brings food, we eat. - Server 2 pours us water twice, while we eat. - Ask for the check and the total is $82.70. ($75 for food + $7.70 Tax) - Inform Server 2 I would pay via gift card, she hurriedly takes the check from me, takes my phone and completes payment. - Received no receipt, so I check gift card balance to figure out exactly how much to tip in cash. (Although the servers' service was bad, I wanted to make sure the busser and runner got tipped out) - I check my gift card balance, and notice I was charged $97.70. A lot more than what I thought I saw on the bill. I double check the prices, and do the math, and realize Server 2 added $15 to the total without saying a word. Final Thoughts: - I can understand a long wait time due to being short staffed. This was not that. It honestly seemed like the servers were actively avoiding us and the other party who had sat down at our table (8 top). Was our table cursed? - I would not have a problem with paying the tip via gift card if the server had asked, but to add a tip without asking just seems wrong . If it wasn't for this, I probably wouldn't have even written a review. - I really appreciate how diligently the busser worked to get the servers attention on top of his regular duties. It seemed like he struggled with English, but he honestly provided the best service out of anyone and if he was my server I would absolutely go back. Feedback for Management - I understand with your system you can order from either the server or from a QR code on the table. I think it's a good system, but every table needs to have a QR code, or servers should pay special attention to the tables that don't. (I looked all over on the sides and top of the 8 top on the second floor and couldn't find it. Please add one for future guests.) - Being able get food from Gaucho Empanadas, Gaucho Cafe, or Gaucho Beach then sit anywhere in the restaurant is a great system, however if this is leading to confusion on who to serve by your servers, it may be better to separate it, so servers know who needs service.

Met up with some friends here and we had a nice little view of the beach off in the distance as we sat upstairs on the balcony. They had a lot of umbrellas so the sun wasn't a bother at all. It was cool too since they had misters. The drinks were great, loved the sangria, the food was good (tried the empanadas, guacamole and the Cuban sandwich). The service was decent but the waiter didn't really check in with us before happy hour ended and came exactly at the 6 p.m. cutoff and then didn't allow us to order another beer and more empanadas at happy hour prices. 👎 Furthermore, he went on break and didn't even tell us or close our check when we were clearly ready to leave. The manager had to come close us out at the end of it all. Overall the Service could have been better but I'm willing to give it another try for the views and drinks. 👍

Very cute atmosphere! We ordered the mimosa flight and we all agreed that the cucumber mimosa was the best! We literally downed it, it was refreshing. We ordered the salmon, paella, and fish chips; they all came out so good. Our server was so kind, we forgot our IDs at home and she was kind enough to put our orders in and let us come back just in time for the food to be done. On top of that, the view is beautiful! We will definitely be coming back!

Come here for the view, not the food. I have been wanting to try this place ever since it opened years ago, but I just never got around to it. They are famous for their empanadas, but they do not start serving empanada until 11 am. I arrived right when they opened shop at 8 am with my dog. I ordered the sandwich de miga, which was nicely toasted but it was extremely simple--just a few slices of deli turkey and melted cheese. There was no spread, sauce, or any other filling. This is something that anyone could put together in less than five minutes at home. It tasted okay, but perhaps I should have tried their coffee or smoothie. There was condensation on all of the outdoor furniture, making it hard to find a dry place to sit. I managed to find a dry spot in the shade, and I tied my dog to an adjacent table while I ate my sandwich. You do have to step over detritus from adjacent homeless encampment in the immediate surrounding, but the dining area within the patio was clean.

We had a few recommendations to try this place. It may have been the wrong day, cold and raining outside and the bar opens up to the patio so it was very cold indoors. Clean, trendy place on the beach. Parking was easy and accessible. Service was a bit slow as their bartender was also our waiter, the bar had 8 patrons. Super friendly, polite and gave some good recommendations from the menu. We had the ceviché, nice serving for 2-4 and plenty of hot unsalted fresh corn chips, very tasty with a perfect spicy kick. Bartender recommended the strawberry margarita, tasty but it was a short glass with more ice than liquor or margarita mix, loved the presentation. Hubby ordered the lobster roll and salad, both of good quality and quantity with a pleasing flavor. I ordered the medium cooked flank steak sandwich, very good but wish the bread was toasted so it would be a really warm steak sandwich. Fries were thick, fresh and hot; not too salty; perfection. Service was amazing but slow, the restaurant was busy so the bartender was quite busy. If this place is connected with Gauchos, we would have loved to have had the lamb chorizo meatballs as an appetizer. Anyways, we'll be back!

I met up here for lunch with a friend. They had breakfast and lunch dishes. I thought the service was great and the burger was so good! I initially was only going to eat half of it, but then it was so delicious that I ate the whole thing! Loved it. I also loved being able to eat outside with the gorgeous weather and the beach in the background.

Found out Gaucho Beach has happy hour so I stayed for drinks. I ordered the white sangria, which was $9 during happy hour. The bartenders here are very friendly, helpful, and welcoming. They make the drinks very good here and it pairs well with the beautiful view of the beach. I met some really nice people here while sitting at the bar. While I am not a fan of the food here, I definitely recommend the drinks and coming for happy hour during the week from 3-6pm.

10.19.2024 - Bestiesx2 October Birthday Celebration @gauchobeach One of my besties really liked this spot and recommended for us to go there for a girls with our little girls' night out. When you enter, it's a seat yourself type of dining. All staff kinda was doing their own thing, so we went ahead and found a spot. They are an order by QR code type of dining. You can place an order with staff, but it might take a while for someone to come to your table. I wasn't too thrilled with the waiting staff because it felt very disconnected, but the food was delicious. They even have a kids menu, and one of the options is steak! Ambiance is awesome since the beach us right in front of you and there's also a playground a few steps away for the kiddos.

Such a cute little restaurant by the beach . Got seated quickly, the server was super nice and attentive. The Mussels were so good the sauce they had for it so delicious not to creamy or buttery , the mussels were Not too fish or chewy , just prefect. The guacamole was so good prefect favor. The ceviche was so fresh and filled with flavor the cucumber made it more refreshing. The chips were good as well crunchy and not too salty. The chilaquiles were okay . The coconut drink was OK taste like medicine in a way, maybe because of the Red Bull. The Mercado was so good refreshing. But definitely coming back to try other dishes.

Conclusion: I went to Gaucho Beach restaurant, Gaucho Cafe & Gaucho Empanadas. It's 3 restaurants basically sharing a split kitchen. Two are walk-up order and you can take the food to go. The sit down restaurant is self-seating where you basically have to flag down servers. They are all great for groups since you can order and settle your own tab. The food and drinks at all 3 are good. WARNING: The public paid parking lot can be an issue at all times of the day (about $4 to park). The lot is really for the public beach and with that, you get some of everything. Drugs, homeless etc. We were sitting in our car and someone in a white RAV4 backed into us in the middle of the afternoon and sped off. There are cameras so we had to contact the city to try to get video. Not sure if the guy that backed into us works at either of these restaurants or if he was just visiting. We contacted the restaurants right away and they told us to contact the city. I didn't see any security while we were there. Be warned! Service: 3/6: you have to pay for tip first and a differ person comes every-time. A guy came to clean a tabie we were waiting for but he only took the dishes, he didn't wipe at all. So we had to wait and flag someone else down. I'm not sure if they've changed this policy but I sure hope they do.

While walking on the beach, a couple of friends and I saw this spot and decided to try it for lunch. We all ordered iced tea and I love that they bring a carafe to the table! We also had some chips and guac, gotta order the Guac! My friend and I shared a gaucho burger and we each got a gaucho salad which was delicious. You just can't beat lunch on the beach! Service was pretty good considering there were only 2 people working!

Lu was an amazing server. Perfect she was from Argentina too! Had the Ceviche Nikkei, loved the Malbec sour and red sangria. Dig the music, great vibe.

Was so hungry after a walk on the beach, stopped by this very cute place... The only place along my walk that was opened at night. Love that they have seating areas outside, with beach views. There were menus on a counter that showed salads for $12, which I thought was reasonable. However, there were no attendants and I asked and found that I can seat myself. There were QR codes on the table so I figured I can also order for myself. Prices online here are different with salads being $16. However, there was a half portion so I got that and a jalapeno mashed potato. Although hungry, I could barely stomach the food. I was hoping for a refreshing salad but the greens didn't look fresh and the dressing was overpowering and too sour for me. I did enjoy the blue cheese, nuts, dried fruit though to help balance out the salad. The green mashed potatoes didn't taste like jalapeno. Or pesto, which I was told made the dish green. $10 and I wasn't impressed. Although conveniently located, I likely would not try the place again. I would rather walk a bit further to the other restaurants and know the food will at least be palatable.

Our second time here! I love the location, right on the beach with ocean fresh breeze. My son ordered a Moscow mule but it wasn't in a copper cup. Also, it was missing an ingredient but the waitress came out with another one and told us she realized there was something missing in our drink. She replaced it with a new one. Much better :) I had a delightful Gin Tonic. As far as the food, I ordered my lobster omelette which was different from the first time I ordered. This time, the lobster was shredded inside. I feel like having chunks of lobsters makes a huge difference in the texture of the dish. Please bring back the lobster chunks. Plus, having shredded lobsters, as a customer, we feel like it is not truly lobster but langoustine perhaps? Parking is good. Just pay a few dollars. ;)

I stopped by on a Thursday to see what the hype is all about. I've seen this place a couple times on my social media and saved it for when I wanted a lil drink and bite. The entrance was a little hard to find as all of the entrances by the parking lot is closed off, you actually have to go all the way around. I was out here looking SILLY finding all the staircases and walkways blocked off just to go all the way around. There's two parts I guess? A cafe and a restaurant. I sat at the bar. I ordered some chips and salsa to start with and boy was that not good. That salsa tasted more like a tomato sauce. It looked like it too! I didn't take a photo but I kid you not it looked like tomato puree. I was extremely disappointed I only had about 4-6 dips until I realized I couldn't stomach it. Seriously, I don't know if they decided to just blend tomatoes with seasoning or what but it's the most interesting salsa I have been served with chips! Next I had ordered the Korean short rib bites, which was actually really tasty. It kinda made up for the tomato puree situation. BUT. there was 80% bone and 20% meat. I was about to pick up the bones to start eating any type of meat off of it clean. unfortunately there were too many people around for me to do that. otherwise it was a great flavor and tender but just honestly minimal meat. For a drink I ordered the Mercado. It was definitely a refreshing drink and was super enjoyable by the beach. It was a fitting drink that I would order again! I personally love cucumber and how refreshing it is so this was up my alley for sure. The overall service was very attentive and quick. There's no complaints there. I would only drink here instead of getting the food honestly. The ambiance is pretty nice, being right on the beach is super convenient to go on a hot girl walk after.

I came here on a weekday with family and it didn't seem crowded. I was dissatisfied in the amount of time it took to receive our order, considering the crowd. There are nice seating areas and there's a great view of the beach. You can also watch people while you eat. I ordered a cheeseburger which was prepared well and tasty. Unfortunately my sister's order was a disappointment. Her chicken appeared to be pink and not well cooked. She ordered the Pechuga La Brasa. They were considerate not charge us for the chicken, which I respect. If service time was a bit faster, I would reconsider. Overall, it was an ok experience.

This place is a treasure amidst the sand. It's nestled in the midst of a Long Beach beach. If you're hoping to drink with the breeze (day or night) engulfing you, then this is the spot that will meet--and frankly, exceed--your expectations! Truly, this is the selling point of this joint. You get to have drinks next to the sand, beachgoers, and the sights of Long Beach. The drawback is that the food is basic. I ordered chips and guacamole, and I can make better at home. I didn't dare try any more food items because I didn't want to be disappointed. The service was attentive and kind. I've been here a few times and enjoyed it every single time. My best memory is when I went with a friend (who I wanted to be more than a friend) and we enjoyed the transition from day beach vibes to night beach vibes. We could walk outside and immediately step into cool sand and a fresh breeze. We took a moment to hold hands--both pairs--and stood in the quasi-center of a triangle made of palm trees. We asked the universe, the Sea-Gods, and the wind to bless our path so we may always find fun and laughter in our days. The convenient and whimsical location of this joint facilitated that moment. I wonder what you'll be inspired to do when you're full of liquor and next to a picturesque beach. I guess the possibilities are limitless. Focus on the environment and the booze--you'll be happy, I think. But what do I know? I find happiness in the smallest pleasures of our Earth.

Came here the morning of July 4th super hungover and to my pleasant surprise - had the best fish and chips of my life! I would come back here just for the fish and chips. Super juicy flaky crispy fish, and garlic tossed fries that were crispy on the outside and potato-y on the inside. They look so ordinary but I swear these fish and chips slapped. We also had the guac and margarita flight and all were great! Servers are casual and genuine and service was really fast. All our food and drinks came out within short time. Theres a variety of seating available, booths, bar, upstairs. Lovely place to spend time and dine by the beach.

Came here on a Monday. Was seated and waited on right away. Ordered the salmon, short ribs, and the lobster rolls. They were awesome. Will come here again. The beach in one side and the view of the buildings was serene too.

I've been walking by this charming beachside restaurant for months, and its stunning ocean views have finally convinced me to give it a try. The colorful buildings and lively atmosphere have made me curious about the delicious food and sunny spot it must offer. When parking, it's a good idea to download the Passport app, if you plan to go before 6pm especially when parking enforcement is out in full force. This way, you can pay for your parking spot quickly and easily, avoiding the risk of receiving a ticket in the time it takes to get back to your car. By paying for your parking through the app, you can ensure that you're not stuck with an unexpected fine, and you'll also be supporting the city's efforts to streamline parking payment processes. I was taken aback when we had to sit ourselves at a table, it's not something I'm used to at a beachfront restaurant like this. But, considering the stunning ocean views and the fact that it was a weekday, the lack of assigned seating wasn't a bad thing - it added to the casual, laid-back vibe of the place. Our waiter was friendly and enthusiastic, but it took a bit of time to get their attention - we had to wait for a while before someone came to take our order. Despite the delay, her demeanor remained warm and welcoming, and she made sure to check in on us regularly to ensure we had everything we needed. The pineapple Margarita was a decent drink, but it didn't quite live up to my expectations. While it did taste like pineapple and had a unique blue color, it wasn't particularly impressive or memorable. Having had better versions of this cocktail in the past, I'm not sure what the point of the blue color was, as it didn't add to the overall flavor or experience. Overall, it was just an average drink that didn't stand out from the rest. The Gaucho burger was a solid choice! While I opted for medium-well, it came out slightly more rare than expected, but the juicy half-pound beef patty still packed a flavorful punch. The combination of melted provolone cheese, fresh tomatoes, caramelized onions, and spicy habanero chimichurri on a toasted brioche bun was absolute perfection. The tangy kick from the lemon aioli added a delightful contrast to the rich flavors. Despite the slight misstep on the doneness, the Gaucho burger was good, but wouldn't get again. The steak and chicken empanadas complicated were excellent! The steak was tender and juicy with a nice char, while the chicken was crispy on the outside and tender within. Both dishes were well-seasoned and allowed the natural flavors to shine through. My sister wasn't too thrilled with the fish and chips, unfortunately. She found the batter to be overdone, giving the fish an unpleasant texture. To make matters worse, the fish was prone to bursting with juice, which was a bit messy and unappetizing. The tartar sauce, which she thought would add a nice tanginess, ended up being off-putting instead, with a weird taste that didn't complement the dish well. Mixed reviews for sure do not know if I'll return.

I want to give a shout out to Gaucho's for doing a great job this past Monday as the venue location for the ORCA (Ocean Residents Community Association) social. The lower patio has perfect seating for an event of 50-75 folks. We had 50+ and the service was great. The organization had sponsored via a local grant the event and Gauchos delivered good drinks and good food. We had the choice of 3 empanadas and ouch I tried them all eventually! The spinach one was my favorite! We also had ham and cheese (but too soupy for me) and ground beef. The accompanying dipping sauce was spicy and delicious. The empanadas are not deep fried this were fairly light. I highly recommend this place for their Happy Hour or lunch or dinner! They also gave a breakfast window open. Don't be intimidated just because it's on the beach. Reasonably priced. Enjoy!

Great location with amazing views of Long Beach, but everything else is mediocre. This beach restaurant/bar is location right on the beach down the street from The Pike. It has amazing views of the beach and ocean. they have a nice second floor for an even better view. Tons of lou ge like tables that give a great beach vibe. I went on a Wednesday afternoon, it was nowhere near busy. Tons of open tables and tons of staff. However the service was almost nonexistent. We got there at 2 and was told happy hour would be an hour from then. We said no worries, we probably wouldn't even be there that long. We didn't get our drinks or even order our food until 2:55. We ended up being forcibly there for 2 hours because no staff wanted to check on us, and we were sitting in front of everything so we weren't hard to miss. We also noticed that other tables were looking frustrated, so it wasn't just us. Towards the end, the server closed us out and automatically selected a tip for herself and thought we wouldn't notice. She put a 25% tip for herself. I served in bar and restaurants for 9+ years. I respect tipping culture, but never in my years have I forced some or tried to trick someone into giving a tip. The food was decent enough. I had the Cesar salad, which I will say I did like a lot because they put a good amount of dressing, which I like. My friend ordered a burger, don't know which one but he said it was okay. We ordered chips and salsa as and appetizer, and they were really hold back on us with the chips. It's like we ordered salsa with a side of chips. Then we all ordered a mimosa flight, if I'm being honest, whatever juices they used to mix it with, it was so flavorless. I had cucumber, pineapple, and strawberry, and all of them almost all tasted identical. I don't know if their juices are just watered down or whatever it was, but not good. Definitely had better else where. And it shouldn't have taken so long to make a mimosa. Mimosas are literally 2 ingredients. Decent food, great views, and in dying need of staff training.

Finally got to stop by after passing by so many times! I love how their menu is right in the open and easy to find. I was greeted and got my order taken pretty fast. I sat down and people watched and my order was ready within 5-7 minutes! Although this was a short stop, I would love to plan a day where I can eat something else from the menu!

Took some out of town guests here to try the place with us. The first time I was here was for a birthday party and the food was so memorable we wanted to try the sit down menu. As before, the food was superb! They sat us inside at a corner table near the bar and it was pretty loud. For some reason we all noticed the music was getting louder and we found ourselves yelling to talk to each other. So we asked to move outside to the patio at a nearby open table. It was no problem to move. My husband walked over to the outdoor counter and ordered some empanadas to try. They ran out of the Al pastor so he ordered the only two flavors available. We all agreed the spinach was better than the chicken. You can't go wrong with any of the burgers. Meat was a good portion size and cooked exactly as ordered. The side salads are so amazing we all left our plates empty! I ordered a Moscow Mule which came in a tall glass with a nice hearty sprig of mint. Wish there was less ice (3/4 of it was ice) and a little stronger on the alcohol, especially for the $16 charge. Probably won't get that again, but those margaritas coming out looked pretty delicious. Next time! Service was great, especially one of the food runners. In fact he was so good my husband handed him cash separate from our waitress tip. Location is great and we will be back!

What a fantastic little spot right on the beach with an amazing vibe! It lets you enjoy the beachfront atmosphere without getting sandy. You can watch roller skaters glide by, take in the lively crowd, and enjoy the music. The inside can get a bit loud, but that likely varies depending on the time and day. The menu seems well-curated, and the drinks look absolutely incredible. Parking is conveniently nearby, though it might be tricky on busy weekends. I definitely want to go back!

Chill beachside vibe in Long Beach. Brunch was chill, but service was good. Come here for a casual weekend brunch or Friday lunch meeting.

What a gorgeous Beach out here in Shoreline Village, Long Beach, CA. I came across this tourist location was from visiting Marina Green Park, Long Beach, CA., a couple month ago. Any ways: when I come later during any week day, I'd like to take side streets because I don't want to deal with stress from driving. When I arrive here, I like to be in relaxed mode which I currently am on Thursday, 04/18/24. Visiting this beach, you get to enjoy the following activities: 1). Walk your dogs 2). Boat watch 3). Bird watch~you see~Pelicans, Seagulls, Pigeons.... 4). Work out~jog, run, walk/run etc... 5). Any other activity you name it. Parking is extremely convenient within Shoreline Village, Long Beach, CA. I'll go add some pics now post review writing. So serene here. I can totally live here. Just learned they own a Gaucho Cafe as well....I'll be back to try their food next time. XoXo. Be back again soon!!!!

Wouldn't recommend coming here. I came with my mom and we ordered a beer and margarita. We got a side of bread. We got our bread and waited 45 minutes for drinks, we checked in and 10 minutes later they brought the beer and no margarita. We asked to cancel at this point and they still made us pay the $4 for bread.

Stefania was our server tonight. She was hands down the sweetest server I've had here in the Long Beach area. I definitely recommend

Got a dulce de Leche latte iced which was perfect for a sunny day walk on the beach. They have pre-made mixes for smoothies. We wanted a mango smoothie but the couldn't do it. They also sell beers.

This place is such a relaxing, cool restaurant. You can grab your own seats anywhere, scan the QR code to order & pay & the food comes right out. The good thing is you don't have to wait for a server to order your food & drinks. Such a convenience! My friend & I had ordered chips & guacamole to start off. She had ordered the Gaucho burger that came with a side salad. She said her burger was well-seasoned & a big portion. She saved the half of her burger for later. I had ordered the Cubano Sandwich which was really good by the way. You can choose from either a side of fries or a salad. I opted for the side salad. It was a big portion, so I didn't get to finish it. I saved the half for later. The Gaucho side salad was really good. It had Romaine Napa cabbage, blue cheese, raisins, almonds, & bacon vinaigrette. I'll definitely order that again but an entree size. My friend & I wanted to try their drinks but due to us being both pregnant, we will come back next time. Great ambiance. Staff was nice & attentive. Nice decor & loved the aesthetic & beach vibe. Really enjoyed the atmosphere.

This place reminds me of Barcelona. I had their Gaucho burger well done and was amazingly good. The fries are really good too. They even have Estrella Damm beer on tap from Barcelona. Great location and service.

Awesome place we found by accident. Everything from food to drinks to view and service. Great treat! We'll be sure to return. Thank you.

Bang was the BEST BARTENDER I mean he gave a new definition to the word bartender. I will definitely come back because of him and I'll be telling all my friends of his magnificent hospitality, customer service

Updating my review because I really love this place. The atmosphere just cannot be beat. I take beach walks often and I always find myself stopping here, all the staff are amazing. They are very attentive even though you can quite literally sit anywhere and order on your own. The culture here is very welcoming, very fun, very sexy, or very chill, literally just depends on your mood but they definitely have what you're looking for. Video of tonights order attached. Thanks to all the staff & manager Bang for the amazing customer service and hospitality!

I finally got to try this place ! And I got to say it's super good the food is amazing The service is good But the downside part is that the staff forgets about you not sure if they are understaffed but I mean the girl was very nice And also the food does take a little too long But overall if your just trying to go and chill it's a nice spot to hang out with friends The ambience of the place is good the music is not too loud so you're able to listen to the people around you ! My rating is still a 5 just because the food is amazing but please try to have more staff so don't forget about the guest service

The food here is tasty. I ordered the Cubano sandwich, it was good. The portions are on the smaller side. It comes with either fries or salad. I opted for fries. We sat at the bar so the bartender was friendly and efficient. I didn't have to wait too long for my food. Ambiance is great, it's overlooks the ocean so it's nice to sit outside for the views. The location is great, nice decor and modern architecture.

Awkward service model. Self seating with no host, but seems like there should be one at the podium. Not sure if there is a designated wait staff because the two times I've been it's hit and miss if someone comes to your table which you had to self-seat at, plus they have an online order function you can opt for in lieu of waiting for the server to show. Because of these awkward situations the place feels a bit like a food court at a mall. And if you do order online, it will be delivered by a server, but you will get ALL your food at once - so your appetizers show when your main does. This awkwardness is a shame, because the place has a good location and decent food.

The food was pretty good, but somewhat mediocre! Really fun view with the restaurant being right on the beach paired with nice music. Not a huge fan of their ordering system. You use a QR code to get your food sent out through a mobile website ordering system. The wait time is somewhat long, and the ordering system makes the restaurant lack a welcoming customer service.

Lobster omelet was pretty bad. Tasteless and chewy. The view of the beach is nice though.

Cool place on the beach , good food , chill vibes , looks like it could be a good party spot too . The waitresses were super nice and attentive, food took a lil bit , but was a lil busy . Plenty of space to sit as well , a lot of the places around the area were super packed , glad I stumbled upon this place! Will definitely e back . Oh and dogs are allowed

First of all, LOVE this place. Great spot on the beach, full bar and tasty food. I recently had my 50th bday party on their second floor, and it was a HUGE sucess. Alisha, Estevan, Sal and their team were on top of everything, from follow up, to food suggestions (we did buffet style for up to 60 people), to setting up a champagne bar. It was a super sunny Dec day, and not enough umbrellas, and they went above and beyond to locate more umbrellas for my guests. Couldn't rave more about the level of service I received and everyone should book their parties here!!! Also, TONS of parking in front and on the side of Gaucho, and and an elevator if you don't want to use the stairs. Thank you again Alisha and Gaucho team!!! Much appreciated!!!

The ambience and location was great for date night or even lunch date. This place is a new hidden gem. Will likely return soon.

Restaurant and cafe located on the boardwalk with parking available (parking fee $2/hr) right in front of the restaurant/cafe. Ambiance can't be beat as it's on the beach. Tried the Al pastor empanadas but they were underwhelming, Caesar Salad was good, & the strawberry mint margaritas was more aesthetically pleasing than the actual drink. Service was good. Overall selling point - location to the beach.

I have been dying to try out gaucho beach since it opened. I have to say the ambience was good, since it was on the beach. We ordered an old fashioned and an IPA. The IPA was not as cold as it should've been but the Old fashioned was bomb. We ordered the appetizer spicy ceviche. It looked like poke when it came out. It was NOT anywhere near ceviche. We also ordered a side of chimoy on the glass, we never got it from the bartender. Overall, it was good.

Today is my besties birthday and she wanted a beachy chill vibe..and this place had it all! Such a beautiful view from the patio to the beach and it has such an open inside you would be outside still ! It just kept getting better; it was 2 for 1 on the margaritas today! we totally forgot to take pictures of our food..but let me tell 10/10 food; we got the vegan rigatoni, skirt steak, and side salad ! The margaritas were also a 10/01; got the cucumber one ! Our server bang; was very patient and was helpful we definitely will be back again thank you for such a nice time !

Came here to celebrate birthday lunch and let me tell you this place did not disappoint. Great drinks and happy hour deals. Food was quality and had amazing portions. The view is stunning, I would absolutely be back, thank you Bang for the sweet service!

I forgot to check in while I was there earlier this morning, but I did cardio and yoga this morning and stopped here and ordered their dulce iced latte drink. It was ok. Tasted like straight coffee. I also ordered their ham and cheese breakfast sandwich, so good and crispy! Lastly I ordered their chocolate croissant, that was ok. Over all, I will definitely come back and try other items in the menu. You get an amazing view of the beach. You order first and seat yourself. Happy yelping

My family came here for brunch at around 11 on a Saturday. We were seated immediately. The food is really good. I've eaten here twice. We got the artichoke and feta dip, vegan cheese burger, lobster omelettes, and the shrimp taquitos. Both times we got the artichoke and feta dip. It's top tier. The vegan cheese burger was super tasty and great textures, but it was hard to eat. Everything kept sliding around. Ended up eating it in layers. But that was fine. Got the Caesar salad on the side. Very tasty and they didn't skimp on the dressing. My dad and boyfriend both got the lobster omelette. They both liked it, but it also seemed like a premade egg that they heated up and rolled lobster inside. both still happily cleared their plates. My mom got the shrimp taquitos. She liked them, but they left the shrimp tails on them, so make sure you're careful when you take a bite! The food was good, the service was incredible, and the views/location are top tier. Overall, I wish we didn't have to work so hard to eat the vegan burger and the shrimp taquitos, but all the flavors were good and the service is what took the cake. They brought our pup a puppy patty for only $4. (See photos)

I saw on TikTok that the margaritas were award winning at Gaucho. Although, the margaritas were just okay. We had the strawberry basil margarita and a regular margarita which were both a 3/5 for me. If you love basil with tequila then this might be for you. They added HEAVY black salt to the straw tips and the rim of the cups... which was way too salty and overpowering imo. The cup rim alone is okay. ALTHOUGH, the ceviche Nikkei was phenomenal!!!! 4/5 I loved the tomato base they had in their ceviche! It was sooo unique and flavorful. I would def come back for the ceviche by the beach! The cut on the ahi tuna that day was kinda large that's why I rated 4/5 stars but we just cut it ourselves everything else about that dish was exceptional!

This is the perfect spot for a casual yet elevated dining experience on the beach! It's open seating so you have to search for your own table upon entering. They do have a wait staff that comes around to take your order. My boyfriend ordered the Lomo Saltado, I was able to taste it and I will definitely be getting that the next time I go! Well done take on a traditional Peruvian dish. I ordered the fish and chips which were good but just average, probably wouldn't order it again. I also ordered a Pisco Sour which was really tasty. I really want this place to do well, please support!
