I was there last summer selebrating my birthday. The restaurant itself in a high season can be very crouded and noisy, lots of families with children and large groups. The service is ok, and the atmosphere would have been better if it was just the decor, however the noise made it much worse. The steak was average. I did like... More

We stopped by this fabulous restaurant on our way back home from our vacation in Eilat. El Gaucho is a safe bet. If you love and enjoy meat, you will probably find the best Entrecote there. Prior to the main dish, you order an Empanada (Mushrooms) and I rest my case. Great, great, great!

I was brought here for lunch by a co-worker. Very good overall. The soup was excellent. The steak was very good - not the best, but close. Well worth the time.

El Gaucho is nice, the service was good, and the food is fine too, not the best steaks, but reasonable. I would not recommend the Asado, they do it on the spot (this is what the waitress told me), which is impossible, if you want a real Asado, takes hours…it is a good alternative for Eilat, where good places to...

The service in El Gaucho was the best we had anywhere in Eilat. The food was also very good - solid quality of beef fillet. Side orders were relatively cheap and we tasted the best-ever green beans with garlic - don't miss that if you go there!

My wife got calf ASADO - most of it was fat and bones , meat could be found with a microscope. I got a grilled fish looking nice but in taste it left bitterness in my mouth for a long time after the meal. Pity

Always a treat to come back here - wonderful, warm service, great steak and other carnivore specialties. Never miss it when we are in Eilat.

We had a meal here which was beautiful. It a steak restaurant and I'm vegetarian but the pasta meal I had was lovely. The wine was very good and the staff very polite and helpful. I would definitely visit again

Excellent restaurant, probably the best of the whole chain. Cosy and comfortable atmosphere, flawless service, great reasonably priced menu. Excellent South American non-kosher grill, open in the weekends, which is a plus. Most recommended. Have been eating there for years.
