    The meat was tender and juicy. And the bread they provided was soft and good with butter. The service was also friendly and kindness. I perfectly was enjoyed my lunch there. I wish to visit again soon. 😊

    This is one of the traditional and old restaurants of the city. It has withstood time and withheld it's quality. Great service and great selection of prime quality meat. They use iceberg lettuce instead of romaine for their salads, so salads do not look so appealing, and their side dishes are basic, old school. One comes here for their meat selection 16oz, are not enough! Highly recommend 👌

    The steak house of Panama City. If you love red meat you have to go here it has been a leading quality steak house for many years and is a pat of the history of Panama. Great food cooked with passion. A true old fashioned steak house with great food.

    Excellent service from start to finish. The steaks are brought out to the table and the cuts explained. I got the skirt steak and my husband had the rib eye- both exceptional, seasoned well and done to perfect medium rare. The deserts were also brought out on a cart and served from the cart. We had the tres leches, which was good and the guava cream tart which was exceptional! Highly recommend this!

    Food was great, prompt reservation and welcome at entrance. But honestly the service at table was not good. Presentation ok, wines ok, but when they brings you the plates , the thorw on the table . That for us was not good, that's why they got 4 stars.

  • 5/5 Marc K. 1 year ago on Google
    Being from cattle country, I appreciate a good steak. Hands down this place is phenomenal for flavor and price. I spent less for a USDA choice ribeye imported from the US than I would have right here in Oklahoma. The service is top notch. I highly recommend it..

  • 5/5 Tina F. 1 year ago on Google
    This is an old place and you can tell by the décor, but that's not a deal breaker at all. Just an observation. The foods were fresh and delicious. The fresh bread that they brought out, along with perfectly soft butter, brought back memories from when I was a kid in Brazil. It tasted grilled bread with butter (pao na chapa). So, naturally, one was not enough, we had to have 2 of them. When you say medium rare, they bring you exactly what you ordered. No ifs and buts, it was simply perfect. We asked for mashed potatoes and those was perfect as well! The calamari was very fresh. The only item we weren't impressed was the Caesar salad, which was our own fault for ordering, out of guilt, for eating 16oz of meat. We though we should balance things out....but now, the salad was not the best, but not the worst either. Focus on the bread, steaks and breads when you come here and you'll be golden!

  • 5/5 Amine K. 4 years ago on Google
    Really good meat. Had one of the best steaks ever here.nice wine selection aswell. The bread is overrated...it's just a grilled white bread... Restaurants isn't the cheapest, but hey...if you don't wanna spend money, there's tgi Friday around the corner. Edit. 3rd time here now and meat is delicious again and again. Can highly recommend the super beef de chorizo, which is a 500g-600g Rump Steak. Entraña/Skirt is great too.

  • 3/5 Rudy H. 2 years ago on Google
    Told it was a great place but lacked the taste Entraña normally has. Service was good. I could go to mall and get the same cut for less.

  • 5/5 Fredick “Vicious302” L. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing Steak and Chimichurri. Shrimp appetizer was perfect too. Sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Great service.

  • 5/5 Alan S. 2 years ago on Google
    US Choice cuts properly graded. Cooked to perfection and the staff were very pleasant. Wine list is above par too. Coming back next month.

  • 4/5 Frans P. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best meat i ever had together with the best piko de cayo Ever! Only service was not the best thats why 4 stars if not it was 5

  • 1/5 Sorana G. 2 years ago on Google
    If you know what good quality prime beef never go to this place. We got fooled by the reviews. Service is fast but the steaks are horrible. But we shouldn’t try steaks in Panama, right? ☹️ Let’s stick with fish.

  • 4/5 Gaspar T. 1 year ago on Google
    Steakhouse with many cuts of beef available for selection. All types of sides and also a large desert tray

  • 5/5 David S. 2 years ago on Google
    Good steak joint. Selection of American and more local beef. Try the local.

  • 5/5 G M. 2 years ago on Google
    Good steakhouse near Le Méridien or Intercontinental Panama City. Meat quality is amazing, team is kind, service is good and the street has become trendy. Nice location to stay inside or on the terrace.

  • 4/5 David A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great quality food. Very tasty, and the portions are generous. The ambiance could use a bit of work, as it feels a bit outdated and bland.

  • 5/5 Tough F. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely a 5 star restaurant. The best filet I have ever had. The potatoes were perfect. Definitely a place for everyone to eat a fantastic meal without breaking the piggy bank. There was a large party celebrating a birthday, a few families and a couple tabkes of men. Really a homey atmosphere with fantastic food.

  • 2/5 William M. 2 years ago on Google
    Over the years Gauchos has become the lone ranger in what was a bustling Calle Uruguay. Nowadays, it's past glory seem to have faded and this once famed steakhouse needs a major facelift. The menu selection can be limiting, and the wine list was not all in stock. I wasn't always convinced that the imported beef was in fact imported. I went twice in the same week, and I don't plan on going back any time soon.

    Best steak place in the city.

  • 4/5 Ginny T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great meats at affordable prices, 20oz rib eye cut are $40-$50. Popular spot amongst locals and tourists, would recommend to reserve ahead of time during prime time during the weekends.

  • 5/5 L C. 5 months ago on Google
    Visiting from the US staying nearby and decided to give it a try. Very quaint restaurant, don’t be deceived by the old building. Service was 10/10. Seated us with no wait and received our food within a few minutes of ordering. Food 10/10. Had a ribeye with mash potatoes. Steak was extremely well seasoned and tender (no sauce needed‼️). Mashed potatoes was an excellent complimentary side. I would definitely come again.

  • 5/5 luciana p. 7 months ago on Google
    I ‘m in Panama frequently and if you want to eat grilled meat this is the place, don't expect a fancy restaurant but exactly in tune with what sells “grilled meat, “simple, clean place, experienced waiters who know their job very well, very good meat …I will gladly return

  • 4/5 Matthijs De J. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is very good. But the total atmosphere a bit less. The people working are not very talkative and the place was empty and not really cosy. But for good meat, go here! Gauchos will be good

  • 5/5 christina s. 1 year ago on Google
    Leo was our server, and he was very patient, and informative! What a sweetheart 💖 We went 2 nights in row. Had butterflied tenderloin then full tenderloin. All was delish!! Looking forward to returning again!

  • 3/5 Iryna T. 1 year ago on Google
    The mixed parilla tasty, grilled chicken average, service friendly, but big minus its very loud atmosphere. And dessert waiting on a tray and not kept refridgerated or in cold.... what?????

  • 5/5 SKnari 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Denise L. 1 year ago on Google
    What an incredible spot! The service was impeccable & the food delicious! The atmosphere was most relaxing! Top notch, would go back in an instant for such a fantastic steak!

  • 5/5 Roberto P. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent restaurant! Great food, mainly around meat but you can also hace chicken and fish. Perfect authentic, local, old house. A bit expensive but you can share a starter and have a main dish and that will work. Good also for a business meal.

  • 5/5 Kathy K. 1 year ago on Google
    We first dined here in February 2020 (twice). We were so happy to learn it survived the pandemic. The food is fantastic and reasonably priced. We dined there again tonight. Everything was perfect. Service was great. The filet mignon was cooked and seasoned perfectly.

  • 5/5 Elias C. 1 year ago on Google
    Gauchos is a delicious steakhouse that's located in downtown Panama City. The decor is very reminiscent of a Texas steak house, featuring large elegant wood tables and chairs. The service and hospitality was very good. The staff spoke enough English to make us feel comfortable during our interactions. The steaks were mouthwatering and the portions were enormous. In addition to the meat, I recommend the fried calamari. It costs $98 for my meal and I left satisfied. I highly recommend Gauchos if you are in the mood for a delicious steak dinner.

  • 5/5 Stephen P. 1 year ago on Google
    Authentic Argentinian steak house in Panama City. After days of hi carb food it was fantastic to get portions of top quality steak, cooked to perfection. Service was superb too

  • 3/5 Ludwig K. 4 years ago on Google
    Steaks quite all right. Size too small in relation to price. Tables rather small and too close to others. Some demotivated waiter, kept hanging on his cellphone whenever possible. Portions of fries ridiculously small, how dare you? Wine excellent. Cleanliness could be improved.

  • 4/5 Allan H. 4 years ago on Google
    Good quality meat and pretty good wine list (even though they were out of my first two choices). Waitstaff was efficient and fairly friendly. Decor needs a refresh.

  • 5/5 Thomas K. 4 years ago on Google
    Delicious and reasonably priced, especially for the high quality of food. Clientele was a mix of couples and businessmen seemingly meeting after work. Servers were very kind.

  • 5/5 Zubair R. 5 years ago on Google
    One of the best places to satisfy your craving for a good steak. Hands down beats the other pricey options in Panama City. Start off with the warm toasted bread smear it with some Danish butter and before you know it your steak is ready. The chimichurri sauce here is the best in Latin America and I speak from having extensively traveled in South America. Pity no Argentine meat served here but boring USDA. The lemonade is refreshing and hits the spot just right. Don’t forget to close the deal with the house flan it’s spectacular.

  • 5/5 Kenny H. 4 years ago on Google
    Great steakhouse! They will bring the meats to you so you can select the slice and parts as well as size of meat that you prefer. Light seasoning makes everything taste so good. Save room for desserts too Popular among locals and tourists.

    Not Argentinian at all. Served delmonico as ojo de bife!? Charged $40 for 20 oz. Steak, that was exactly same as wife's 12 oz boneless...supposedly ojo de bife, but again skinny delmonico. I don't think these people even heard of argentina, much less copied their steaks. Service efficient, but totally bland. Food mediocre. Service bland. Atmosphere no fun.prices as high as real steakhouses in usa.

  • 5/5 Kevin B. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the best steak restaurants I have been to in Panama. Amazingly priced, great service. This was our first trip to Panama City and the hotel's staff told us to check out Guachos, did not regret it one bit. Our steaks were Beautifully done just the way we ordered them, paired with a great side and AMAZING BREAD!!! The environment is a mix between old fashioned and a classical steak restaurant. I love the fact that you can view the chefs preparing the meal through the window. Would recommend this spot if you are visiting Panama. P.S. Picante picante!
