"We had lunch here and were extremely happy with the food and the service. The tomahawk steak was very delicious and the waiters were very thoughtful and caring. We were there with our 2 year old and they payed extra attention and anticipated everything we would need and more. The balloon our child got after saying goodbye was just the icing on the cake."

"Eating at El Gaucho del mar was a very extraordinary experience. The T-bone steak and chicken breast were truly amazing. Frankly it was the best chicken breast I ever tasted and possibly the best steak too. Price quality is perfect and there are some tasty bites too like the poncho's (pizza-like) if you're not that hungry. Amazing waiters too!"

"We had some excellent food after venturing out from the norm that is resort standard food. The fillet steak with peppercorn sauce was magnifico and the childrens nuggets were more like fillets, couldn't fault the place."

"Best place to dine at harbour. Pizza, entrecote, drinks, starters have amazing quality and price/performance ratio. Ambiance and the view is also great there. We have been there twice in our trip. If you take pizza ask for chili olive oil also!"

"Staff is very friendly told us some local stories. We had the Irish dry aged Entrecote with the grill to finish the steak from blue to medium. It is a different experience, it is a Spanish approach. We liked it! 5* thank you"

"Best meat I had in years (and better than in most Argentinean restaurants). If you are looking for a good place to have Argentinean style barbecue I totally recommend it. Prices are very good for the quality, presentation and amount of food that you get. We had a “parrilla mixta” which is a mix of different meat slices. The barman is also amazing, we had a mojito and it’s the best mojito I had in Europe so far. Go and try their cocktails, specially the mojito. The service is excellent, super friendly and willing to chat and recommend you places in the area in case is your first time in Cala Ratjada. We end up going several times in our holidays."

"Presentation, service, food styling and of course taste is uncanny. Ordered T-bone steak and they brought a grill so that we can cook the pieces however we wanted, with different condiments and butter. The T bone was served with side dishes of salad and potatoes. I need to stress again how amazing and friendly the service was. One of the best, I really cannot recommend this place enough. Looking forward to coming back and trying one of their other dishes."

"Good food. A lot of oil on my pasta, generous on the seafood and garlic :) the waiter was very attentive to tour table, we were 7. My husband ordered for pizza, he was satisfied with his order, spicy as he had ordered. (Diablo)"
