El Gaucho Market. They do have a location in Redondo Beach for my LA friends.
On State College in between Lincoln and Ball, most people drive by not realizing they just passed by a unique place. Look for the blue and white, the colors of Argentina.
@Chowseeker1999, it’s down the street from OC Rotisserie.
It’s a market with South American/Latin America brands. A meat counter. And:
And most importantly that El Gaucho Chimichuri Sauce!!! You will want to buy a bottle of this, or 2.
But hang a right when you enter:
The dining area has a cool soccer mural, not my sport. They show games here fyi:
Kinda of a sausage fest here lol. Sadly no pretty and curvy South American women here,but that’s not what you come here for.
That’s not me in that pic btw.
No, you come here for the sandwiches and empanadas!
And the 2 best ones are:
The Entrana from Argentina!
Skirt steak. Hot, juicy, and beefy just the way you want it. Do not forget the Chimichuri!!
And from neighboring country Uruguay:
The Chivito.
Oh yes the ingredients: Beef, Ham, Cheese, Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato, Red Bell Peppers, Green Olives, and Sauce(not sure). A little messy but still good, like carne asada fries or sex hair. Tasty. If you like the Cubana at Super Tortas DF in South Central you will dig this.
The empanadas
Golden. Brown. And Delicious. I recommend the Spinach and with a bite a small spoonful of the Chimichuri in the hole you created.
And I hope I am not alone on this observation I notice in LA/OC that these speciality markets have some of the best and authentic food. Don’t jack my shiz Eater LA
Cool find though and thanks for posting it here. I’m gonna check out the Redondo location since that’s nearby where I live
