The Weekly Volcano's Best of Tacoma issue will hit the streets July 31.  Yes, that seems like an eternity. 

While you wait we will periodically tease you with one of last year’s Best of Tacoma winners.  This week â€" The Best Service in Tacoma:

El Gaucho
Giving El Gaucho the nod for anything is like finally ceding the Florida vote count to Bush: at this point, it’s not as though this fine-dining treat needs some official stamp of approval. But that’s precisely because its popularity remains richly deserved â€" thanks not least to a waitstaff that’s every bit as gifted in its bailiwick as the chefs are in theirs. From the hostesses to the bartenders to the servers, everyone strikes that crucial balance between fuss-free formality and agreeability rather than familiarity. â€" Jake de Paul

[El Gaucho, 2119 Pacific Ave., Tacoma, 253.882.0009]
