We went to El Gaucho for lunch once. It’s known in town to be an incredibly expensive steak restaurant, but you can get lunch for about $15. We figured the hamburgers would be good there and gave it a try. Unfortunately, the burgers were disappointing. You could order them rare, but they all came medium, and there must have been a sale on salt because everything was very salty.

Today we went to Red Star, another expensive restaurant attached to an expensive hotel. This time the burger was fantastic and even cooked fairly rare. The onion rings seemed to be frozen, but were delicious. The only problem we had was they were huge.

I don’t think the food was the best at Red Star (I think fresh onion rings would have been better) but I doubt it could have tasted any better.
