Papi

Reuven "Papi" Nachimov founded El Gaucho more than 35 years ago as the first Argentine meat restaurant in the country to serve large, juicy steaks and chunks using traditional South American grilling methods. Today, Papi and the family decided it was time to go back to the origins and continue the restaurant in the traditional format with an up-to-date touch. Our meat experience consists of a grill area with a Palo Santo charcoal chimney that we import personally from Argentina (available at our butcher shop), a huge charcoal grill, josper, smoker - which allow all the traditional grilling methods of fire, smoke and deep wood flavors. The meats we use are mainly Israeli wagio, lamb chops (a unique Galilean lamb variety), fresh asado and entrecote chunks of fidelity and special chunks of beef that we fly fresh to a restaurant straight from Argentina and Uruguay.
