Elite. The best meal you may have all year. There is no question that this is the most exceptional bang for your buck culinary experience in Chicago. The ambience is solid but it's the food that'll keep me coming back for more! I ordered El Filet (16 oz) for something like $45 which is a STEAL. It comes with their spinach mash potatoes or you can sub for fries. Can't go wrong with either. Start with the provoleta and get the filet as your main. You won't be disappointed.

Best Argentine food I've had in Chicago so far. We started with empanadas for the appetizer and they far exceeded expectations with very rich and flavorful options. Go light on these - each one is more filling than you think! You inly need one per person. All of the flavors are excellent. I ordered a Churrasco steak. It's a tremendous amount of food and could really be eaten by two people. It was a bit tougher than expected despite ordering medium-rare, but the taste is excellent and pairs very nicely with the potatoes you are given as a side. Will certainly be back!

The portions are HUGE here! My husband and I usually share the Filet and an appetizer. You can pay a split fee and get a second portion of salad. Everything from the bread to the appetizers to the filets/sides are AMAZING and such a steal for the price! The inside is dark and moody! They have candles on the table for mood lighting.

This has to be added to my list of restaurants for special occasions. We celebrated my boyfriend's birthday here and we both loved it. I highly suggest you make a reservation, the wait time was over 2 hours on a Saturday night. I loved the dim lighting and the decor! It was very busy, but we still had great service. I enjoyed the beef empanadas, my bf liked the Spinach one. My steak was cooked to perfection. The mashed potatoes are CRACK! I would come back k just for that. The best part, BYOB with no cork fee. They have a wine bar two doors down if you forget. Worst part is parking, very limited .

Whenever anyone asks for a steak recommendation in Chicago I direct people to Tango Sur. 1. The affordability here is insane, you're not paying crazy premium prices for a mediocre steak here. 2. The flavor profile here, especially that of the chimichurri sauce that they provide for their empanadas and steak is out of this world. I literally salivate thinking about the sauce today and would inject it straight into my veins if I could. 3. The overall ambiance and service is supreme--the inside of the restaurant is dimly lit, guaranteed to put you in a food coma after you consume your steak. 4. It's BYOB??? And they have a neighboring wine bar (Bodega Sur) where you can grab a wine bottle from to take and consume at Tango Sur, as if it wasn't already great value for your money enough. 5. Best steak I've had in Chicago, I left pretty happy and satisfied.

Tango Sur is a true gem for any meat lover! I recently dined here with a dear friend, and we opted for the parrillada for 2. The variety of meats, including the unexpected delight of sweetbreads, was a pleasant surprise. The portion size was generous, and we ended up with enough leftovers for another meal each. Remarkably, the per-person cost was under $30 (pre-tax/pre-tip), making it a fantastic value for the quality and quantity of food. But here's the bonus: the Argentinian market next door! This place supplies the meats to the restaurant, and we couldn't resist picking up some empanadas for a party. They also offer a selection of authentic Argentinian sodas and heavenly alfajores. Just a heads up, the market is cash only, so be sure to come prepared. Tango Sur and its neighboring market make for a delightful duo that's sure to satisfy any carnivorous cravings. Highly recommended!

Argentine asado in Chicago! At the end of the 2023 Chicago marathon, my runner wanted to come back to Tango Sur for a post-run meal. There's outdoor and indoor seating available but we opted to sit indoors where it was cozy and dimly lit with a candle on the table. We ordered... Ham and cheese empanada: tiny but tasty! The shell wasn't too thick and fried perfectly so this was great. Asado de Tira: star of the meal with well seasoned short ribs and some braised potatoes. Chorizo: 2 pieces with some lemon wedges. This was good to eat with the complimentary bread, like a hotdog. Tallarines: red pasta fettuccini, but can order with white sauce. This was ok and paired nicely with the asado Salad: standard with vinaigrette dressing Though I enjoyed the meal, I'm knocking off a star for the $10 charge for sharing plates and the service. I felt like my server seemed bothered he had to work today. All in all, not bad and great for dates, families, or group dinners.

The ambiance of this place was dark. Not in a depressing way, but in a candlelit romantic dinner way, but so dark you can read the menu way. Our server was really good, giving us recommendations and was very helpful. We ordered: Jamon Crudo con Melon -- this one was interesting. It was prociutto served on top of cantaloupe, and it surprisingly worked well together. Empanadas -- went with one beef and one chicken. I definitely liked the beef better Provoleta -- if you're a fan of melted cheese and bread to dip it in, you'll definitely like this appetizer. The dish had argentine provolone cheese cooked on the grill with olive oil and roasted red pepper. Very cheesy. My least favorite of the appetizers. It had a huge ample amount of cheese. Eat it fast before it hardens. Lomo Relleno - Half slab Argentinian style filet mignon, stuffed with ham and chimichurri, served with portobello mushroom marsala. Ideal for two and it sure was, as the steak was plenty. It had a lot of flavor. To me, I like my steaks more dry, but hey, I never been to an Argentinean steakhouse. I still enjoyed it and the sauce it came with was extremely flavorful. In terms of the area, parking was tough. If you can't find street parking on Southport, I heard there is parking at the nearby elementary school, across the street from the restaurant. Good luck. BATHROOM REVIEW: Matches the restaurant ambiance.... dark. Small, can barely see where I pee, but don't worry, I lifted the seat up first. There is a mens and womens bathroom. The men's had a toiley and a sink, and paper towel dispenser. Wow, was it dark. Sit or squat? Squat, but be careful in the dark.
