Parrilladas Che Gaucho — Restaurant in Charlotte

This place is a hidden gem. Has that hole in the wall vibe that really have to roll the dice on to find. Staff is very friendly and had a family feel to it.

Atmosphere is really low key and the music playing just fit the place really well.

Looks like the host kaoroke a few times a week so I'm assuming there is a sense of community to this place. The menu is like a fusion of Spanish and Italian food mixed with South American influences.

The food was excellent. They have a lentil soup that has just the right amount of onion in it that hit the spot on a cold day like today.

They have salt if you want it but honestly you don't need it. There is no pepper shaker on the table or sauces, because they know what they are doing.

The soup was accompanied by red and green chimichurri that is to die for. It has the perfect amount of spice and flavor to open up your senses for the coming meal( I mixed some in with my rice).

The lunch special was amazing. This was my first time trying Argentine food so I went right for the Black Sausage and Argentine Chorizo. The food was out quickly and the plate was simple yet elegant.

It featured two sausages you could tell were hand made and fresh just looking at them, paired with a mound of rice and a simple salad.

I went with the Chorizo first. Wanting to do it right I cut it with a knife and popped the bite into my mouth. I was overwhelmed with a mouthful of flavor that was unlike any sausage I've had be fore. I was really impressed by the mixture they went with of spices.

Next I went with the Black. The black seems to bee some kind of blood sausage and looked hand stuffed. I'm no stranger to blood as I come from a polish background but I knew I was about to be in for a treat. The sausage was warm and gooey with a consistency in between meatloaf and meat pudding, it had a smoky, meaty, hearty flavor that you can tell comes from a recipe perfected over generations. After my first few bites I mashed it up into my rice and went to town.

The plate was the perfect amount of food for a lunch and I left completely satisfied.

I'll definitely be back and want to experience the dinner and show...

The food was ok. Menu is weird. Deserts are on the same page as the kids menu. Asado picture is different of what I got. $34.50 for Alamo Malbec? That wine cost $9.00 at any store. White vinegar for the salad? How cheap a restaurant can be? Mollejas and chichulines $11.00 two slices of mollejas and 3" of chinculin. That it is a rip off. Any restaurant will serve a full plate of mollejas for less money. Ensalada rusa ; the potatoes were undercooked and the mayonnaise was the cheapest they could get at their supplier. Provolone chesse? If you are Argentinian and or ever eated provolone cheese on the grill you will have a laugh at their version of it. Argentine/Uruguayan restaurant but the loud music was from the Dominican Republic. A continuous boom boom that made the place unbearable. The nice waiter has no idea of Argentine culture or food taste. Like many places that try to attract people with fultbol decorations and futbol games on the tv, owners should consider to concentrate in promote their own culture, and the quality of their food. Owners are trying to make their money charging for a bottke if wine four times of what they pay for. Four times just for storage and open a bottle? What about make good food a a reasonable prices? If u want to get a different meal of what they show in their menu, or lound salsa music, and get overcharged for wine and appetizers, then this the place for you. Try to explain to the waiter what a wine vinegar or a balsamic vinegar are. They don't have it, and most likely they never will. Too expensive. I will never return. But don't take my word for it. Just will cost you $50 to be...

We went to Charlotte, NC for the weekend to celebrate my mom's Birthday! When we travel we always look for good authentic Argentinean and or Cuban restaurants however, we don't always find them to be truly authentic. When we decided to try Che Gaucho we didn't know what to expect but from the moment we walked through the door the customer service was phenomenal! We quickly got very acquainted with the family that runs the restaurant, they are from Chile and their cook is from Uruguay. They were all so nice and Nico (our waiter) was great and gave some great suggestions for our meal! The food was incredible and 100% authentic!! The empanadas are definitely drool worthy, the milanesas are huge, and the parrillada..... simple no words to describe the rich flavors and the tenderness of the meats!!! We loved it so much we decided to go back the next day for dinner before heading back home! I had their Chivito sandwich which took me right back to my vacation in Uruguay many years ago! I have tried so many places in search of that authentic flavor, and I finally found it!! Their desserts (specially their alfajores) are delish, and they also have the typical Chaja Uruguayan cake which was really good too!! All in all, if you're in town and looking for a that home cooked Argentinean/Uruguayan meal taste you only get at home, I highly recommend this place for sure!! Nico along with everyone else will take wonderful care of you, and you will leave with your tastebuds...
