thatched barbecue area

If I remember my own in Cordoba, Argentina, it's usually a thatched area.
Peer comment(s):

agree Fabio Descalzi : Yes! Besides, the expression "quinchado" means "thatched roof"; so your answer is so far the best one.

agree Adriana Penco : Roofed barbecue area (not patio). "Quincho" se refiere a un lugar techado (aunque puede ser sin paredes) ya que "Quincho" es un techo de paja, juncos o cañas. Si no hay techo, es simplemente "parrilla".

SUMMERHOUSE (or summer-house)

I think this description better defines the Argentine quincho:
A Summerhouse is a small roofed building of varying forms in gardens or parks designed to provide cool shady places of relaxation or retreats from summer heat.
