🍽️ Best Dish We Ate This Week: A Sizzling Feast at Gaucho Parrilla Argentina
Written by Zhenru Yan
This week’s standout bite (okay, bites!) came sizzling straight from the wood-fired grill at Gaucho Parrilla Argentina in Downtown. We couldn’t pick just one star dish—so we didn’t. Instead, we went all in.
🔥 Paella del Gaucho arrived first, still bubbling in its pan and packing serious heat—literally. (Pro tip: don’t touch the plate unless you have superhero fingers.) This paella is loaded with perfectly simmered rice, smoky chorizo, fresh shrimp, mussels, and clams, all swimming in a saffron-rich broth. It’s comforting, aromatic, and just exotic enough to whisk you away to the Argentine coast with every spoonful.
🥩 Then came the Parrillada Mixta, a wood-fired masterpiece of grilled meats: juicy New York Strip, tender chicken, smoky chorizo, and flavorful pork, all beautifully charred but never greasy. Every cut was seasoned and cooked to perfection—crispy edges, tender centers, and bold, clean flavor. It’s a platter built for sharing… or not. (We’re not judging.)
✨ We couldn’t resist adding four of Gaucho’s housemade chimichurri sauces, each with its own personality: garlicky, tangy, smoky, and spicy. Pairing them with the grilled meats? Chef’s kiss. The kind of combo that makes you stop mid-bite and nod in approval.
💡 Perfect for meat lovers looking to refuel after a ball game or night out downtown. Whether you’re celebrating a win or just chasing good eats, Gaucho hits the spot with flavor and fire.
