This place, tucked into a nondescript strip-mall-esque parking lot just off 38th and Sheridan, is surprisingly awesome!All of the other reviews are spot on. In a nutshell, The Red Tango has a weird...

Don't let the outside fool you. It may look like a weird, 70s-era strip mall, possibly one that inhabits one of the many bail bond joints in the area, but inside you will find a sprawling,...

The ambiance is a little different than other places, but that adds to it's charm. Well... they could dim the lights a bit. The food is very good. The service is great. Make sure to try the avocado...

I believe this is the first review I've ever written, but I think it would be a good idea for me to chime in. Like the last reviewer, I'm a vegetarian. Given his review, I called ahead to ask whether Red Tango...

I am pleased that so many people have so many nice things to say about this place, but they do not reflect my experience even after giving them two chances. For one thing, vegetarians need not walk through the...

Some other Yelpers were dissatisfied with the ambiance, but I found the rustic decor to be charming. The osso bucco was on special and it was amazing. This is a good choice for an off-beat dining...

No kidding around, this is the place on the West Side. A simple but well assembled wine list focused on the excellent wines of Chile and Argentina will set off your dining experience. South American influences...

You won't care about the "ambiance" after your food arrives. I'd rather have the effort go into the presentation of the dish than the decor of the restaurant. The only thing outshining the food's...

The place doesn't have the most promising beginning. It's not even clear at first that it's a restaurant, with its location in a strip mall perpendicular to the road. Even finding the right front...

Unfortunately, this restaurant is a bit out of the way for me...but the cross town trip is usually worth it. This place has plate-licking-good South American food. Everything I've had is super...

My husband and I have eaten here before. We decided to take his mother, who was in town for a visit, to Red Tango for dinner as she is from a small town and appreciates unique dining experiences. We like Red...

I haven't found many restaurants that specialize in South American cuisine and do it well, so it was quite a pleasure that restaurant Red Tango was so close to home! I actually found the simple decor...

We visited on Saturday night. From the moment we were seated in the new back room addition, we felt we had been banned to a "back room." There was no ambiance, music (which was in the other rooms) and...

Great food, great service, nicely priced. I was a little hesitant because of the location, but they more than made up for the location with service and food.

When you pull up to its location in a suburban strip mall, your date will think you are taking her/him to a dentist's office. But once you make it through the doorway and the delightful scent of fine Latin...
