About Us

The Gaucho (South American cowboy) & The Gringa (North American girl) is run by a couple who met while backpacking through South America and relocated to Sandusky to share their love of REAL, FRESH FOOD.

They hold their food to extremely high standards, believing that we should all eat the highest quality food possible. All of their dishes are HOMEMADE, and they grow as much of their own organic produce as possible. All of the grass-fed/grass-finished beef used on the truck comes from Circle P Limousin Farms in New London, OH. Every egg is sourced from Sandusky farmers who create a free-range environment free from unnatural feed and antibiotics.

The Gaucho & The Gringa want to have at least a little something for everyone. They also offer gluten-free options, as well as vegetarian and vegan menu items.

    positive review  The food is excellent, no matter what you choose. My life may have just been changed by the Jardinero Melt. The black bean goodness might alter your consciousness. And there’s mushrooms. And mushrooms make everything better. Just get one. Enjoy it. Become friends with it. Glory awaits. Also. Choripapas. I once heard that they were the popular kids in high school that actually lived up to the expectations put on them by their peers. They were voted most likely to succeed, and became Ryan Reynolds. The bratwurst on top... It’s made of spices from the forbidden garden where unicorns roam free and the meats of creatures that wear top hats and monocles and speak in sophisticated accents. Once again. Glory awaits.

    positive review  We’ve been seeing your truck around since we live in the area and finally tried it down at Inkcarceration this past weekend. So glad we did! We had the empanadas and Choripapas. It was excellent and will definitely be having it again!
