The atmosphere is warm and the BYO feature makes the restauarant a bit more intimate and neighborhood-like. I went on a Monday evening at 9pm and it was very very crowded. People were event waiting by the door. My friends and I loved it so much we created a Tango Sur web site since we found that the owner never created one: tangosur.typepad.

What a great place! I can only hope they don't change. Keep it BYOB and keep serving the same food at the same prices and it will be a winning formula for years to come. If you are in the mood for...

Hmm. I am not sure if I was impressed by this place, or not. I liked the candles and subdued lighting. Sorta romantic. I wasn't fond of the generic decorations and uncomfortable chairs, however....

We had an amazing first experience here last Friday for date night. You can't make reservations - we got there around 830 and the wait was 45 min to 1 hour for 2 people. We were in no rush, so we...

The meat here is fantastic. They have a lot of choices, and it's reasonably price, considering it's such a steak place. I had a steak that was stuffed with cheese, spinach, garlic, and white wine....

I've been holding off on going to this place for a while, mainly because I don't particularly like the neighborhood it is in and parking there is horrible (yeh yeh, duh CTA but these days I'd rather...

Meat-eaters rejoice - Tango Sur knows their cows. Yes, there's a ridiculous wait (stop in, leave your cell#, shop Southport for a while), no booze (while you're waiting for a table, check out the...

Holy mole (that's mole sauce, friends). I've eaten here twice and both times have been unforgettable. I celebrated my last day of work here (I'm retired and wealthy) with a group of friends who had...

Earlier this year, I visited Tango Sur and had the Filet (Filetto?). It consisted of two large filets that were VERY average - but you get what you pay for. For only 22 bucks, there was a LOT of...

Tango Sur is unbelievably busy and wait times can get seriously long, but if you've got nothing else better to do, the wait is worth it. They don't take reservations, but you can put your name on a...
