El Gaucho Portland

The El Gaucho experience blends impeccable service and exceptional quality. Our team of talented chefs and dedicated staff provide old school, tableside service for people celebrating their lives. Each ritual, from the greeting at the front door to the fire-dancing desserts, is part of our nod to the past and vision for how fine dining should remain. El Gaucho was founded by Paul Mackay and is now led by his son, CEO Chad Mackay. Each of the five locations is based on Paul’s original vision and is designed to present guests with a unique, unparalleled service encounter—one in which every single detail is considered an essential element to the overall experience.
