The name
El Gaucho Argentinian Steakhouse
The yellow blade sign over the sidewalk says it all: "EL GAUCHO — ARGENTINIAN STEAKHOUSE — THE PLACE FOR STEAK". An Argentine steakhouse in the full sense, in the heart of District 1.
The fire
The open-flame grill
The venue's own photo shows the steak going through real fire: tongs, smoke, char marks. This is El Gaucho's kitchen — nothing fancier than that.
The wine
Malbec on the table
The venue's T-bone photo sets the steak beside a bottle of Salentein Malbec — Argentine wine with steak, as tradition has it.
