Gauchos Steakhouse - Fairview Heights

Had an amazing experience here! Started with the melted cheese and bread appetizer, it was good and so stringy! The grilled chicken meal was so tender and delicious and the carrots were amazing (even though I’m not crazy about carrots). My husband enjoyed his tuna on the stone grill. He loved the salad dressing. The Spanish Rice was good! Everything was just so fresh! And dessert: churros with ice cream. Service was excellent and friendly and so was the rest of the staff. The place was clean and inviting. Can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend!!

Salads came after food. Fries and carrots got cold while eating salad.

Gauchos is a great new steakhouse in Highland. Our server, Ashley, was awesome and spent time answering questions about the menu and made great recommendations. Oscar and Irina, the owners, are great people and make great food and drinks. Highly recommend going there when you’re in Highland!

Don't even waste your time. Worst dining experience of my life. It started out a Saturday night at 6:30 I wanted an appetizer. They were out of what I wanted on a Saturday night at 6:30. There wasn't anyone in there except for one other table. Then we ordered three overpriced rib eyes We all ordered them rare The server brings me a strip steak that's not even rare and then once to argue with me when the center of it is gray and tries to tell me that it's rare that that's just the way it looks lmao I've been doing carnivore for 5 years. I think I know what a rare steak looks like lmao so I substitute the french fries for brussel sprouts. I was like okay you can't mess up brussel sprouts. Long story short, I like salt I love salt. But these things were so salty. It burned my throat. I will never go back there not even if someone offered to pay for my food

Service was awful. I am not usually a complainer, but one plate showed up a half hour ahead of the rest. Never saw a drink refill. Took a half hour of waving to finally get the check. Simply a bad experience.
