El Gauchito, Elmhurst: Argentine Grill and Butcher Since 1979
El Gauchito, an Argentine grill and butcher shop at 94-60 Corona Ave in Elmhurst, doesn’t post a happy hour. It doesn’t need one: it has been doing the same thing on this corner since 1979.
What to Expect
Order the parrillada, the Argentine mixed grill, and a bottle of Argentine wine. The dining room sits inside the butcher shop, which makes its own chorizo, morcilla and chimichurri and sells Argentine-style cuts, yerba mate and dulce de leche to take home. Small room, family crowd, soccer on the screen.
Hours: Mon, Tue and Thu 1pm–10pm; Wed closed; Fri–Sun 12pm–10pm. The butcher shop opens at 9am.
