Parrillería Vacas Gauchas — Restaurant in Rincón

We chose this place as a date night during our vacation in PR. We started the night with a sangria, it was very refreshing. The appetizers didn't disappoint. We chose gouda cheese balls with guava sauce and their soup of the day. The cheese balls were crispy on the outside, and the guava sauce, wow, out of this world. The soup of the day, sopa de calabaza, was very comforting, creamy and delicious. As the main entrée I chose the skirt steak, and the amount of fat was incredible. I 100% do not recommend this cut. I had high expectations and I was let down. On the other hand my spouse ordered a medium rare Ribeye and it was perfectly cooked, this cut was perfect. To end the night we opted for the vanilla homemade gelato, it was not the best gelato we have ever had. I wish there was a bit more space in between each table to create more privacy for each guest. I suggest you make a reservation ahead of time. Even without a reservation, we received top-notch service. I wish Parrilleria Vacas Gauchas nothing...

Absolutely fantastic! Hands down the best restaurant on the west side I’ve been to, walked in and were warmly greeted by our server Paulina who accommodated us without a reservation. Huge bonus considering it was a Saturday night, although we were a bit early so I do recommend securing a reservation in advance as they did fill up quickly. Paulina was excellent, extremely well informed and guided us through the off menu specials. I don’t even think we looked at the actual menu thanks to her recommendations ☺️. Everything from wine selection, appetizers, entree and dessert were beautifully presented and coursed timely. Medium rare to perfection, so many thanks to the chef! Beautiful space and environment all around, such a hidden gem 💎! Thank you Paulina and all of the staff for providing the most incredible service and evening ✨ Will definitely return...

Again! Excellent experience! Waitress: Nashalí I am now a fan! This is around my fifth visit and always they excels in service, attention, quality and presentation. Nashali’s recommendations were great! From the sparkling wine to the dessert. We started with the rabbit croquettes and caldo gallego with the complimentary focaccia bread with crushed tomatoes. Then I ordered a filet mignon which was cooked to perfection with the reduced red wine sauce. Accompanied by “mamposteao” rice. My wife ordered another with a salad. Crisp and fresh with a nice vinaigrette. To finish the superb experience, I was undecided to order the “mil hojas” (thousand leaves) or the coconut cookie with lime gelato and meringue. So, we ordered both. Both were delicious. This is the kind of restaurant you will revisit without...
