Tango Sur - Chicago

Exquisite dining experience at Bodega Sur. Rolled in on a Thursday with a group of five ready to chow down. The atmosphere of this small restaurant is lovely, would make a phenomenal date spot. Started our feast with some sweet beef empanadas and charcuterie to share highly recommend both, but the main course was the star of the show. We ordered two Tabla Gauchas for our group (pictured below) which was PLENTY of food. Everything on this lovely platter of meats hit the spot. More than reasonable prices for the quality of food and attentive service. Nothing bad to say about this joint, hope to return in the near future.

I’ve been coming to Tango Sur and Bodega Sur for several years and always had a positive experience. I decided to come here with my family to celebrate my mom’s birthday. I made a reservation ahead of time and arrived 10 minutes late due to being being in Tango Sur initially. There was a mixed up which isn’t a big deal, so I went to Bodega Sur to checked in . The hostess said that “ Your 10 minutes late and we only hold a table for 10 minutes “ . Which didn’t make much sense since we did checked in within the 10 minute mark . We explained her the situation and she stated “There’s nothing I can do sorry” . We asked to speak to a supervisor and owner and said , “ I do not know who they are “ This was very upsetting since she was not being very helpful and asked us to go outside . We were finally able to speak to the supervisor “Valeria” and she changed the whole experience for us . She informed us that a table would be opening soon and that we can wait inside. She greeted us very kindly and apologized for their rude hostess. She always checked on us and made sure that we were taken care with BEST. The food was delicious and made the whole situation like it never happened . We ordered the gaucha dish that serves two people. On top of that “Valeria” brought my mom a birthday dessert and singed to my mom . This absolutely melt my heart and we all had happy tears This place is a great place to bring families and will go out of their way to make it memorable ! Keep up the hard work and thank you for making it special for us !

Ordered takeout from this place for the first time last night and was pleasantly surprised. A 10 out of 10 first impression. I ordered the Lomo Bodega steak, that was medium rare the way I ordered. There was a well served salad as a side, the chimichurri sauce was on point. Also ordered the fettuccine Alfredo and it was delicious. I was also pleasantly surprised to find out a bag with fresh bread (still warm) that they’d usually serve at the restaurant if you were dining in person and a generous amount of butter to go with them as well. Loved my 1st experience with Bodega Sur and now looking forward to dining in with them in person in the near future as well!

Bodega Sur was the lucky draw of the night. After attempting two other local Argentinian restaurants only to find out reservations were needed or an 1.5hr+ wait line was to be made, Bodega Sur was QUICK to accommodate for a dinner walk in during these covid reopening times. The Tabla Gaucha (Parrillada) was worth having skipped lunch and all of my hunger. Instantly transporting me to South America. This dish is more than enough for two but if you’d like to be extra, order a side of French fries or mash potatoes. I guarantee you’ll leave wondering, how you I have possibly eaten all of it? Best of all of is it’s relaxed environment (outdoor seating/heating) and El Señor Ramon. Mr. Ramon’s service was impeccable. Displayed so much personalized care for all restaurant patrons. His hospitality and passion for the restaurant do not go unnoticed. Oh, do yourself a favor an try their Mojito! Returning Gracias

My wife and I came here before catching a show at Music Box Theater. I'll be coming back to the area just for this. The food was absolutely delicious. The meal started with warm, crusty, home made bread. We then shared the pulpo (octopus), 2 empanadas, and the Tabla Guacha. The flavor was spot on in everything. If you're hankering for excessive amounts well-seasoned grilled meat, this place is for you. The restaurant itself is small, yet cozy. The servers are friendly, attentive, and bartender knows how to mix a drink. Great place!
