    The food and drinks were excellent. The meats were brought to the table very often, no need for our server to bring someone over. It was a great experience
    Chama Gaucha - ChicagoResponded on May 29, 2025
    Thank you for the kind review. We're happy to hear you had a great experience and that you enjoyed both the food and drinks. It's great to know the service and pace of the meats added to your visit. We hope to see you again soon!

    Pues no se pero las espadas tardaban mucho en llegar a la mesa, la mesera tuvo que hacernos la orden para que pudiera llegar la carne que deseamos, y les faltan unos chorizos también
    Chama Gaucha - ChicagoResponded on May 26, 2025
    Muchas gracias por tu comentario. Lamentamos mucho que los gauchos tardaran en llegar a la mesa y que tuvieras que pedirle a la mesera la carne que deseabas. Eso definitivamente no es el servicio que queremos ofrecer. Agradecemos sinceramente que nos hagas saber esto, ya que nos ayuda a mejorar. Esperamos tener la oportunidad de ofrecerte una experiencia mucho mejor en tu próxima visita.

    Food lacked flavor and had to season every piece of meat except the garlic steak which we never had to in the past. My husband had his Sam’s original plate that he began eating the meats with. Not one time was a new plate ever offered to him which also never happened before. The prices are the highest we ever paid there and the service overall was less than stellar . In other ways it excelled but for $70 per person, the service in every aspect should excel
    Chama Gaucha - ChicagoResponded on May 26, 2025
    Thank you for providing such detailed and honest feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your recent visit did not meet your expectations, especially given your past positive experiences with us. We pride ourselves on the quality and seasoning of our meats, and this is certainly not the experience we want our guests to have. We also deeply apologize that your husband was not offered a new plate, as providing fresh plates is a standard part of our service. We take your comments very seriously as they highlight areas where we need to reinforce our standards and training.
