Tango Sur

Argentine steakhouse.

The restaurant is B.Y.O.B. with no corkage fee; nonalcoholic beverages include South American sodas, fruit juices and Argentine specialty teas.

"Serious meat lovers" appreciate that "flavorful steaks won't break the bank" at this "authentic" Argentinean BYO in Lakeview where "huge" servings of "delicious" beef with "flavorful sauces" come at "surprisingly low prices"; some lament "long waits" and "crowded weekends", but service that gets few complaints, a "candlelit" ambiance and outdoor seating help keep it "worth a stop."

This small Argentinean storefront has pizzazz to burn (but little space to spare). It serves all the basics: empanadas, escabèche and an array of beef dishes that would make a gaucho sit up and take notice. Try the parrillada for two: short ribs, flap meat, chorizo, beef sweetbreads and black sausage. If that doesn’t appeal to you, get the grilled chicken breast with chimichurri. Desserts don’t...

Tango Sur is a dark, romantic churrascaria where the slow-roasted, marinated steaks are carved Argentine-style. It's BYOB, so bring a bottle or three of big red vino. Tango music is the norm on the sound system, but you're also likely to hear your neighbor's conversation. Eat here, digest during a show at the neighboring Music Box or Mercury Theatre next door, then dream of gauchos and horsewhips.
