GAUCHO STEAK is an earthy Argentinean beef
emporium on Montclair's restaurant row specializing in the
traditional cooking of South American cowboys -- strapping portions
of asados (grilled meats). An inviting array of Nuevo Pan Latin
dishes supplements the meaty eats at the six-month-old storefront.
DÉCOR: The cowboy-chic dining room was formerly home to Indigo Smoke
(relocated a few doors away). The warm, rustic and refined milieu is
reflected in such detailing as wrought iron candelabrum, lariats and
boleadoras (leather-bound balls used by cattlemen) hung on exposed
brick walls. Leather-like coverings drape tables that seat 60. Wood
paneling, velvet draperies and hard wood floors complete the
handsome ensemble.
STAFF: Friendly, helpful, easy-going.

"Luz, even when it pushes its boundaries,
rarely oversteps them. Their menu darts
among Latin American cuisines and between
old-school staples and nuevo Latino
flourishes...appetizers and ceviches, the
best of which is coco tuna, raw tuna tossed
with coconut milk enlivened with lemongrass,
ginger and jalapeño. Pinchos de res, grilled
cubes of tenderloin served with a mojo and a
chimichurri, is good eating as well... The
vatapa, a coconut-milk-based stew loaded
with shellfish and vegetables, is as good an
$11 seafood soup as one could hope for. The
bar is never empty...a couple of classics, a
few clever new drinks, all at agreeable
prices...always draw a crowd."
