Gauchos is located on the second floor of an old grain mill. The restaurant's interior features a reminiscent cowboy saloon set back in the 1800's. Sides and salads are brought to the table family style before the unique variety of meats come to indulge your cravings.
The story of the Gaucho and their country is as robust as the meal you will enjoy at Gaucho Cowboy Eatery and Saloon. In the early 1800s, European immigrants settled in the Rio Grande do Sul area of Brazil. The fertile, grassy plains was perfect for finding new and better opportunities for their families. These Brazilian settlers were excellent horsemen, so they quickly became adept at raising and herding cattle imported from Cabo Verde. The settlers and their ancestors become known as Gauchos. The Gauchos were a strong and proud people who loved the land. In addition to raising cattle and other livestock, they farmed sweet and fresh vegetables and fruit. Inspired by the Gauchos, the Churrasco (pronounced: shoo rha sko) was a dug pit in the ground, where the Gauchos would start a fire using wood from the rangelands of the Pampas, skewered and slowly roasted to perfection over the fire pits. As groups of families would gather for meals, Gauchos would carry bountiful portions of meats, fruits, and vegetables to the table. Using traditional knives, which Gauchos wore on their belts, they sliced thin and tender pieces of meat onto plates. The succulent, skewered meats were served, continuously to each person.
