YAY! >>>

Late-night happy hour? Yes, please!

In December 2012 El Gaucho Tacoma quielty extended its happy hour for its regulars to enjoy. It now offers happy hour prices from 4 p.m. to close Sunday-Thursday, 4-6 p.m. and 9 p.m. to close Friday and 9 p.m. to close Saturday.

For those who have never experienced El Gaucho's happy hour, it's for those who enjoy discounted gourmet food in a dimly-lit, fine-dining atmosphere with live piano music and not a cardboard-crusted pizza delivered by a stoner in a stained shirt in sight.

Food that's fit for a famished autocrat includes the El Gaucho Mignon burger, tuna tartar, wicked shrimp and mac and cheese for $10 each. You must try the chilled sushi-grade Hawaiian ahi tuna becomes a textural juxtaposition to creamy fish flesh and crunchy toasted pine nuts, peppers and onions. The Wicked Shrimp and Tenderloin Diablo are lasting favorites and still on the happy hour menu.

Night-crawlers may toss back discounted liquids such as the tasty blueberry lemondrop for only $6. Happy hour beers and wine range from $4 to $6.

El Gaucho, happy hour 4 p.m. to close Sunday-Thursday, 4-6 p.m. and 9 p.m. to close Friday, 9 p.m. to close Saturday, 2119 Pacific Ave., Tacoma, 253.272.1510
