Best Authentic Restaurants in Apple Valley

Love love the experience!!! The Gauchos the best of the best, there is a guy called Victor, OMG his service is exceptional, if I ever have a restaurant he will be the first person I would hire!

Service was excellent food brought to the table at the correct time. It was a bit chilly at the table and the server brought over a heater which worked out great for my wife. All food on the menu was explained so we could make a choice easier.

Our new favorite go to steakhouse! Some of the best steak we’ve ever tasted! Salad bar was crisp & fresh!. The service was amazing! (Thank you to Manuel & Cidicley! Your hospitality/service was awesome!) Ambience & decor very comfortable. YOU WILL ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE! ❤️

Definitely a step above a typical shawarma / gyro place with a full menu of Mediterranean dishes. It is also weirdly enough a local watering hole with an extensive beer and cocktail menu and a lot of folks hanging out and playing pull tabs. I would recommend making a family style meal of the many small plates available so that you can try a little bit of everything. If you are already familiar with the mezza table, the food is solid and a fairly basic representation of the cuisine. There are certainly more authentic/gourmet places to eat, but probably not at anywhere near the very modest price point of this establishment. For two of us with a drink each and a sampler platter to split (which was perfect for two modest appetites) we walked away for 40 bucks, which is hard to do for a sit-down meal these days. . The atmosphere is a bar, and not particularly romantic or a great place for a quiet conversation. It is a good place to get together with a bunch of people.

The food was delicious, reasonably priced. The server was attentive but not intrusive. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch.
