Delicious food. Big portions. Not expensive. It’s BYOB. Nice music. Romantic atmosphere.Good service until some point though. After 7 p.m. it got so crowded and so-o-o loud, that we were not able to enjoy their great food and hear people we came with.That was also the time when our 4 different servers (who needs 4 of them?!)got kind of indifferent and didn't pay attention.We just could not wait to leave when it got so loud there.And one candle on the table is not enough to see what you have on your plate or read the menue.There are too many too small tables there.We'd rather pay more for the food, but do not have to listen to people's attempts to talk through that noise and feel the elbows of people sitting at the next table.

This place has a great feel to it. The tables are lit by candle sticks which burn out by the time dinner is over, forming a puddle of was on the table. The food was very good. However, it is not a restaurant fit for a romantic date. It is more of a "go with 10 of your closest friends" kind of place. Also, it is kind of unfortunate that they don't have many side options. Thye only had mash potatoes. If they would serve rice and beans along with meat this place would be perfect. We recommend making reservations 2-3 weeks in advance. It is very popular but small place so it fills up fairly quickly.

The food is sooooo delicious! I love the eggplant appetizer, dripping with yummy olive oil and garlic. And the personal grills for two that come to your table are fantastic. The vacio is to die for; a really good cut of meat soaked in olive oil and garlic with sweet potatoes. There is usually enough left over to take home for a whole other meal for two. The waitstaff is very attentive... and cute, I might add! The ambience is romantic as well. I love the candlelight, and the live spanish guitar make it an experience that will have you coming back for more. Oh, and don't forget to finish with a steaming cup of mate, which is a traditional argentinean drink similiar to tea. Perfecto!

The quality of the food and the cooking at Tango Sur are on par with the best steakhouses downtown, and the steaks are about half the cost. Combine that with the seductive atmosphere, BYOB policy, and delicious appetizers, why go anywhere else? It's worth the wait in the summer, and as I found out this past winter, it's worth the trudge through a foot of snow.

Such a fun place with awesome food. The waiters are fast a friendly. Get there early - lines get long during nice weather and on weekends! One of Chicago's finest hidden treasures!
