Arielle IndiaApril 12, 2017Be sure to make a reservation in this small, cozy Argentinean gold mine. Meat cooked to perfection in beautiful spices and herbs. Simply divine menu options, you can't go wrong. 20/10
Caroline McCarthyMarch 1, 2018Awesome BYOB Argentinian steak joint. Get the empanadas to start. The filets are large enough to split. Long wait on the weekend - get there early to put your name in then grab a drink nearby
Lots & LOTS of food. 1 dish can easily feed 2 people w/ leftovers. We got 2 dishes for 2 people & we are bringing 1 full dish home. Wonderful service, BYOW (wine) awesome food. Will definitely be back
Stacy Bo BacyJune 23, 2021Wow wow wow, this place is next level incredible. Be sure to grab a bottle of red wine at Jewel (down the street) before your reservation and then enjoy the ambiance with your medium rare steak.
Sherry TamFebruary 15, 2014The melted cheese appetizer is to die for! Can't go wrong with this place, its byob, the steaks are reasonably priced, portions are huge. This place is truly a gem in the city!
Jon B.September 24, 2021One of the best values in Chicago. BYOB, tasty yet not budget busting steaks, and killer empanadas. Also suggest getting the melty cheese appetizer. So good!
Kate LarkinSeptember 24, 2013Expect a true Argentine experience- there's no rush, so if you want something ask! We were there 2 hours on a Monday with a large group and had to ask to place our dinner order. LOVE this place.
Christine GobranJuly 15, 2022Excellent steaks that’s grass fed without breaking your bank. A great meal esp after a cubs game. We walked over after and we were extremely pleased with the experience
Bojan RajkovicNovember 6, 2013Great jamon and queso was the best and the filet mignon leaves you speechless. ....fyi order your meat more done than normally because they tend to make them a notch more rare
Tom AnconaJune 10, 2013This is my favorite place in the city - 2 appetizers, an entree (get the Vacio for two people!), and a dessert for under $75. Get there early or be prepared to wait!
Redeye ChicagoAugust 3, 2014A favorite for dates, this candlelit BYOB Argentine steakhouse serves massive platters of grilled meat that make a tasty match for your own bottle of red wine. Read more
Sean JacksonFebruary 19, 2016Aw Man! Where do I begin? The provolone cheese app and the empanadas were killer. The Tbone steak was delicious and don't forget the spinach mashed potatoes.
Linda HarrisonDecember 13, 2016The filet mignon with spinach mash potatoes and it's byob. We brought everything to make a mix drink with.
Anthony GomezJune 30, 2013Impressive place with delicious churrasco. Definitely go for the empanadas. Best chimchurri sauce I've ever had. Byob & great service. Don't even think twice. Just eat here.
If you have a large group (6 or more) you can call in advance and reserve a table. Portions are HUGE (you can share most dishes). Get the empanadas to start!
SO GOOD! They take reservations outside of the weekend some come prepared to wait! Also, ask your server for their reccos - worth it!
maite aJune 12, 2016You will never have a bad choice. Been here quite a few time and the food is always awesome... Empanadas, mollejas, parrilada, bife de chorizo- Sean RiordanJanuary 3, 2012Be prepared to wait as thus place is really crowded and cramped. awesome steak and the beef tounge appetizer is worth trying if youve never had it before. Have to get some empanadas too
Charlé WashingtonNovember 25, 2012When they tell you the Lomo Relleno is for 2 people, give them the hand (mentally). It's easily split between 3 full grown adults. 4 people, If you plan on having a bunch of empanadas and bread.- Ali ZaneDecember 2, 2013Tango Sur have always met my expectations! REALLY good steaks, and the best part it's byob! Quality meat and cheap booze! RECOMMEND!
Cody BearSeptember 2, 2013Amazing food but extremely difficult to get seated unless you have a reservation for which you need to have at least 6 people. Get the filet!
Cristina DordasSeptember 1, 2014You can't go wrong in here! Best place to eat steak in Chicago! Excellent value for money and it is BYOB!
Ryan VernerJune 9, 2012Delicious food, super long wait. It has a cool atmosphere, fairly loud music, really dark, pretty loud. Just make sure you know going in that it's not a quiet romantic place.
Amor TiradoJune 27, 2015Good food! Cute Place! The wait can be worked on. We waited over two hours after we were told an hour and a half. The host lost our name and seemed very confused on what he was doing.
Absolute start is the melted cheese. If you are into lean steaks, churasco is the best choice.
Albert PakMarch 31, 2013Get the fillet mignon (medium if you like - and that's how I tried it) - melts in your mouth! Delicious!
Mon SalvanySeptember 4, 2014Loved it! Byob... Great meat and deserts... Long waiting but it is worth it!
Michael MatthewsAugust 18, 2014The Bife Vesuvio was perfectly cooked and tasted like heaven. It's a Steakhouse, so get a steak!
MulleNovember 23, 2011Bring enough booze to get seated in the back party room while you wait. Chances are, you'll meet an Argentinian couple celebrating their 50th anniversary with $250 tequila!
Holger SommerSeptember 26, 2015The steak was awesome and the service was very good. Will definitely come back!
Cousins swear by the Vacio on the grill with fries and lots of chimichurri. I love the veal.
NatashaOctober 30, 2011I can't rave about this place enough. Tango Sur, has never let me down with it's food, atmosphere or service. I will continue to dine here for years to come.
Marquieta MitchellJanuary 18, 2013Provaleta is a really good starter also great atmosphere, music. Great for date night!
Corinna PFebruary 28, 2012Start with empanadas, FOR SURE, move on to bife de lomo and finish with panqueque dulce de leche.
WineStyles BelmontApril 1, 2012Perfect Pairing: Cava, Pinot Blanc, Carmenere, Malbec, Marzen, Dunkelweisen- Kristi DorsonAugust 31, 2013Giant plate of melty cheese, hot crusty bread, delicious empanadas. Yummm.
ISC ChicagoJuly 20, 2012There is always a line, so be prepared to wait. Excellent chimichuri, a meatlover's dream!
Go for the ribeye over the strip steak. Much more flavorful.
Devin GriffinMarch 13, 2011Filet is delicious. Just know they give you two with the entree - huge portions. Definitely something you can share
Jessica YoungSeptember 15, 2011Make sure you get one of the Argentinian steaks with the green chimichurri....so good you'll want more
Benjamin FolgersDecember 22, 2011Make sure to get there early. My party of three git there at 8 and waited an hour and a half to get seated.
