Old Town Temecula has a new restaurant coming, and it is the kind that makes the neighborhood more interesting. Gaucho Grill — an Argentine steakhouse with locations in Buena Park, Downey, Pasadena, and the Valley — is opening at 28645 Old Town Front Street. Spring 2026.
What Is Gaucho Grill?
Gaucho Grill has been serving Argentine cuisine in Southern California since 1994. The menu is built around premium grilled cuts — the kind cooked over real fire, the way Argentina does it — alongside empanadas, chimichurri, and the full range of flavors that make Argentine cooking one of the most satisfying in the world.
The Temecula location will be their fifth, and it lands in the heart of Old Town, steps from the historic boardwalk and surrounded by the kind of energy that builds on a Friday night.
The Wine: Cantina di Luce
PAMEC Winery created the house wine for Gaucho Grill Temecula. That wine is Cantina di Luce — a natural, minimal-intervention wine made specifically to sit alongside wood-fired food.
When you sit down at Gaucho Grill Temecula, ask for Cantina di Luce. It is a local wine, made without additives, designed for the table. There is a reason food-forward wines and fire-cooked meat go together so well — each brings out the best in the other.
