I was looking for a special place to take everyone for dinner after our Wedding, I found El Gaucho on an Aruba web site and read what everyone had to say about it and that is how we made our final decision! All I can say is everyone is 100% right! The atmosphere is fantastic, service was friendly and efficient, the food was to die for and the prices were great! We are planning on making Aruba our destination of choice every year and El Gaucho will be # 1 on our list of places to return too! Everyone is still talking about the great steaks we had! Thanks so much for making our special night extra special! Look forward to seeing you next year!

We love this restaurant! We always eat here at least twice during our
vacation. We stay two weeks. Everybody is so friendly and after going for the
last seven or eight years we feel like family. Rosa and Jose always give us a
big hug and kiss and make us feel so welcome. They do not know us by name, only
by faces. The new menu and improvements in the restaurant are great. They
continue to add to their customers enjoyment. We go every May and can’t wait to
return.We also have a picture with them every time. Usually send it to them when
we get home.

The best Steak I have ever had. My wife and I were on our Honeymoon
and loved it. To anyone working at the restaurant, we had our wallet and camera
bag stolen in Aruba and kept some momentos from your restaurant. They consisted
of two coasters, and two bull pins that came in the steaks, if you could send us
any of those, we would appreciate it and put them in a scrapbook. I will be glad
to pay for any fees involving the shipment. Thanks a million, I will leave my
email address.

El Gaucho is the best restaurant in Aruba. Each year we make
sure we eat El Gaucho Steak. This year (January 2005) we ate at the
restaurant 5 times. The food is excellent, the steak sauces are out
of this world. The service is unbelieveable. Henky, Marselle,
and Bennie really know great service and a good time. We can not wait
until January 2006 to visit our friends at El Gaucho again! Make sure you
ask for Henky! Carnivale!

My husband and I went to Aruba for our honeymoon last week and had
dinner at El Gaucho after hearing from everyone at home that we HAD to go.
We are so glad that we did. The food was amazing and the service was
delightful. We loved the guitar players and would go back in a hearbeat.
Hopefully we’ll get to celebrate our one year anniversary in Aruba next year and
our first stop for dinner will be El Gaucho – hands down!

El Gaucho’s is the best restaurant in Aruba, with Rosa the sweetest
owner and Nilton the best server although all the servers are wonderful. We have
been going to Aruba for 9 years and have never had a better dinning experience
than El Gaucho’s. As a matter of fact we go at least twice during our visit and
it is definitley a highlight to our vacation.Thanks Rosa, Nilton and all of the
crew at El Gaucho’s.

The Very Best in Dining & Service we experienced during our stay
(02/05) in Aruba. The El Gaucho steak was superb, the service provided by Hektor
was 1st. Class. They offered my Wife a Table linen to keep warm in their very
well Air Conditioned facility since a blanket was not available and She was a
bit cold due to fact that we had just returned from a diving tour. The meal
served was well worth the $ 86.40 including drinks and gratuity, I’d say the
best spent $$ on the Island for Dinner. Thanks to Jose the Manager on Duty for
all his help and faith in letting us slide with being short $ 4.40 due to the
fact of having been diving and not carrying a C/C. We gladly returned from our
hotel within 1 Hr. to make up on our shortcoming and to leave a extra tip for
our Waiter, Hecktor. Anytime again, I wish we had a El Gaucho in Cleveland,
Great Job.
