Reviews
This is a nice little spot in west loop, the food was good and the service was outstanding. The highlight for me was the wine, they have a great South American selection of wines and the Pet Nats are specially outstanding. We had a reservation at 7:30 but where not seated until 8:00 which makes sense since it was very busy specially on a Tuesday night and we had a large group so that’s completely understandable. The food was good however I personally feel that it was a little under seasoned to my taste. Other then that great experience.
I think this is the type of place where you need to take notes on what is recommended and what isn't. I wish we ordered something else because our food wasn't as amazing as everyone else states (or the guy next to us who was chowing down on the Mar de Plata) so to be fair I think we ordered wrong.
The bone marrow was bleh after one piece I was over it, the Tira de Asado was skimp with a lack luster presentation and the truffle fugazza tasted like just cheese - didn't taste much truffle. So I do not recommend any of thoseeee dishes. I did however enjoy the zucchini vegetable side.
Ambiance is sultry and great for date night.
We went to El Che last weekend and it did not disappoint. We started off with the wedge salad. This is hands down one of the best salads I’ve had from any restaurant. The ingredients were so fresh and amazing. We ordered the filet and ribeye. Both steaks were spectacular. Both were cooked to a perfect medium rare. We also tried the lobster tail with the butter on the side. The butter here is so unique and has an amazing rich flavor. This restaurant is a little pricey but the food quality and service make it all worth it.
El Che is definitely a must try! Guillermo was very knowledgeable and described perfectly what everything was going to taste like before we decided what to order. We started off with the scallops with a cilantro-serrano purée which was amazing and the Italian beef empanadas with a creamy giardiniera sauce which was perfect! We also ordered the bone marrow which I enjoyed but it’s definitely an acquired taste may not be for everyone, but we loved it. For the main course we had the picanha and the dry aged ribeye cap, both were a must try! For dessert we finished off with a chocolate molten lava cake topped with a coconut gelato and toasted coconut shreds which hit the spot! Everything from the service to the atmosphere was a 10/10 we definitely will be back!
This was truly a unique experience. Not your typical steakhouse. No bread, no Caesar salad, no crab cakes truly original menu of different steaks and seafoods. I started out with the truffle empanada( very tasty) and had the salmon while my wife had the 8 ounce steak and the broccolini.. zero complaints…I want to comeback the table next to us ordered the whole fish I want to come and order it when I have more of a appetite.. thanks guys for your hospitality. We’ll be back soon.. keep the light on please..
Beautiful restaurant with a gorgeous view of the food being prepared. We Sat right in front of the kitchen and it was a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, felt like a lot of love and effort went into preparing it. The staff were professional, informative and took care of us with pride. Special thanks to John who made the evening exciting and fun, we truly enjoyed the evening. ❤️
I went with a friend to try the steaks I heard about it. The food was to die for. We had an amazing empanadas for starters and surf and turf for the main course. Our server Scott was very knowledgeable of menu, very friendly guy. The only thing I think they need to improve was the sangria, felt a little under flavor.
This was by far the best tasting menu experience that my husband and I have participated in. We did the chef's countertop experience and enjoyed every moment! Every single dish was an absolutely delightful journey from start to finish and our sommelier/guide for the evening was incredibly knowledgeable of the wine and how it brings out specific flavor notes of our food. The staff is incredibly hardworking and we cannot wait to go back to try some more of their signature dishes. Seriously, book this experience ASAP, they're magicians in the kitchen!
