Reviews for Tango Sur in Chicago, IL
As soon as you walk in, you can tell this is a special spot! We did not have reservations (I don?t believe they take... reservations), but we arrived early enough in the evening we were able to be sat right away. The candlelit ambience, delicioussmells, and attentive service, all made our experience wonderful. It is BYOB; the server will open your wine bottle if needed,and then you serve yourself. The food is delicious, large portions, all for a great value. I even took my takeout throughairport security the next day, it was that good. Highly recommend for a special occasion, or just for a lovely meal. Read more
Only plus about this place is it?s BYOB? Aside from that, Don?t bother complaining about your food you?ve received. All you?ll... get is attitude and insulted. A group of us went here to celebrate 2 birthdays. One of the people celebrating their birthdayreceived a steak that was so tough it was difficult to cut through the nerves/tendons running all through it! The server was sobusy running around about 10 minutes later we were able to get his attention and inform him of the poor quality steak. He said?why didn?t you tell me earlier?? well, for one? ?didn?t you ask stop to ask how our food was?!?? ?were you even around?!?. NO!?he then brought it back to the kitchen and returned to the table to say, ? the chef was able to cut through it no problem?? LIKEARE YOU KIDDING ME! Yeah, maybe with an extremely sharp chefs knife. This was beyond unprofessional and the worst service I?veever encountered! With an attitude and horrible customer service like that this place should not be in business! We turned downa replacement dish, paid our Bill and left! I absolutely refuse to return here and would never recommend it to anyone. If youcan?t take the heat get out of the kitchen! Read more
The service was good. The waiters and bussers were so sweet. I was disappointed with the food. ???? the Vesuvio potatoes and the... empanadas were soooooo good. But we went for the steak i ordered medium and it seemed more med rare. My friend ordered med welland got well done. The flavor was good and the little churraaco sauce was yummy i just think they?re not the best with thetemperatures of the steaks. We were also able to bring our own wine which was nice. Read more
Heard great reviews of this place and had great expectations. We gave it two tries with the most recent time being left... disappointed by the way they cook their steak. We ordered a medium rare New York strip and a medium rare flap. Both were raw inthe middle with the New York strip having no fat rendered. We went months ago and the same happened with our skirt steak with itcoming out raw in the middle. Also, there was a 30% service charge for a group of 4 people to dine in with no mention whatsoeveras to what it was for. I get making up for Covid but 30% really, why not just raise prices instead? Also, they still had a spotfor tip on the receipt. I am confused, is the service charge not for the wait staff to be split among the bus boys, servers andmaitre d? Overall, great expectation but bad delivery. One photo is of the leftovers we took home the other while it was on theplate, apologies in advanced for the terrible lighting. Read more
The food was definitely worth the price and the restaurant was super busy! The Lomo Relleno is what I ordered and it was good,... but the meat was cooked unevenly and it was tough to chew in some parts. We were pleasantly surprised with how much we got. Read more
The food, service and ambiance was amazing. We ordered the vacío and the berenjena salad, so fresh and so good. The place... let?s you byob and won?t charge extra for it. Price per person is around $50 Read more
Tango Sur just made its way to my TOP 5 favorite steaks in Chicago list! What an absolutely incredible meal. The empanadas were... so tasty. We got the beef. Crumbly buttery crust. Savory minced beef with spices. The shrimp dish was a little underwhelming anddefinitely felt overpriced, but it was flavorful as well. THE STEAK. THE SAUSAGE. I hate to sound like a broken record, butagain, FLAVOR!!! The steak was so juicy and so was the sausage. That sausage is probably one of the best dishes in the entirecity. The mashed potatoes are delicious too! 4stars because of the shrimp dish and because the cutlery here was sounderwhelming. It felt like I was cutting the steak with a butter knife. Please Tango Sur?invest in better cutlery. Perfectperfect meal. Read more
This review is long overdue and wish I would?ve gotten a couple more pictures for them, but was too busy eating every thing in... front of me. Tango Sur had been wildly recommended to me for years but finally made time to head there a couple months ago, andman was I missing out. This is without a doubt my favorite steak and grilled meats in the entire city. Incredibly fresh, greatgrill and char flavor, perfectly seasoned, it was perfect on all fronts. BYOB is great as it allows you to create your ownexperience which also helps the price of a night out here because without needing to account for a bottle of wine there, you getto just spend it all on their delicious food. Quality, taste and value is truly the best around and will continue to sing theirpraises to everyone as this place is a can?t miss. Read more
