Enjoyed our experience here! The host and server were wonderful and the atmosphere was festive with the music playing next door. I enjoyed the patio dinning and even though it was hot when we walked up the patio was the perfect temperature. The staff did everything they could to make our visit wonderful and I definitely will come here again View all feedback.

The best flavored steak I've ever had at not a bad price. I'd recommend the Lomo filet or the Churrasco sirloin
Simply one of the best places in the city always keep coming back for great job team at folklore!!!

Perfect date night spot with a romantic atmosphere completed with candlelight and romantic music. The empanadas were delicious we had the beef. For our main we got the grilled meats for two. So much food!! Incredible value for money and the flavor was so good. Everything is cooked to your preferred temperature. We didn’t even have room for the potatoes that came with it. We then split the dulce de leche flan and it is hands down the best flan I’ve had (sorry mom). Would recommend to anyone who loves meat and is looking for an intimate dinner spot.
Great place and food. Excellent service and atmosphere. Heavy on the meat, as you might expect, with a few vegetarian options. Interesting and delicious drinks too! Great for a date or occasion. Recommend for sure.
Fantastic Argentinean cuisine. Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. I would highly recommend splitting an entrée. The portions are quite large. Everything was super tasty. The beef empanadas are a must-try.
We came for a quick drink and ended up having empanadas chicken and beef and wow amazing. The Pachera drink was delicious.

A surprise homerun with the tortilla de espinaca, perfectly cooked picanha, chorizo three ways w an outstanding morcilla (blood sausage) were the highlights of the meal. There was a guitarist for live music as well. Delicious food and delightful company; a great night out. If you get one appetiser, get the tortilla de espinaca.
Their flan is the best flan I’ve ever had in my life.. melts in your mouth goodness! Their mashed potatoes are so fluffy and well seasoned. El Che is also a must order (it’s enough for two people) and is served on a cute mini grill. Also, their mojitos are great and the sangria too. Don’t debate on going.. just go! You won’t regret it.

The food was ok. My ribs were rare when I asked medium well. Too much fat on the ribs made it non appetizing. The piece of flank steak was flavorful and the meat was perfectly cooked. We ordered Parillada for 2.
The food was delicious. Ordered 3 empanadas, 1 chicken, 1 beef, and 1 spinach w/cheese. Filled generously, the beef was my favorite. Good flavor, moist and portioned well. Veggie lovers, the spinach w/cheese complimented eachother well. But definitely order the portabello mushroom it was delicious with the sauce. The sauce had a hint of chile just enough to flavor,but not spicy. Main course course dishes looked good but would have been too much for this outing. Great wine selection.

Phenomenal spot for Argentinian steak. Good prices and great music when a guitarist is around on Thursday, will go again
Came here for the first time tonight with my husband to celebrate our anniversary. Everything was amazing! Service was so unbelievably friendly and sincere. Our server had great recommendations. We tried the empanadas, gnocchi, salmon and the milanesa. Highly recommend! So happy to add another stellar restaurant to our rotation.
This might be my favorite spot in Chicago. The ambiance is outstanding—perfect for a candlelit dinner! The food was absolutely delicious, and I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion sizes. The staff was amazing, too.
Excelent place. One of my favorites. The food is delicious and good price. The eggplant and the empanadas are my favorites

If you dine at this restaurant, you simply must try the steak. It has an incredible flavor and is cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is fantastic as well, making it an ideal spot for a date.
An unforgettable experience! A large group of us visited and shared around ten dishes, and everything we tried was amazing. Even the simplest dishes, such as their...
