Tango Sur

"Tango Sur in Lakeview isn’t just one of the best steakhouses in Chicago, it’s the only one where you don’t need to spend a lot of money. The steaks here are under $40, plus it’s BYOB. And Bodega Sur (their sister restaurant right next door) has a wine shop. That way you can impress your date with your knowledge of Argentine malbecs. But first, you should probably Google Argentine malbecs." - josh barnett, adrian kane

"If you’re looking for a quality steak place without expensive steakhouse prices, Tango Sur is the spot. It’s an Argentinian restaurant in Lakeview, and all the meat here is great—including their morcilla and chorizo. And the fact that they only take reservations for parties of six or more makes Tango Sur an excellent choice for big group dinners. Come with your friends, load up on red wine beforehand, and prepare for some meat sweats." - josh barnett, adrian kane, john ringor

"Tango Sur is an Argentinian steakhouse in Lakeview that’s different from all the other spots on this list, because it’s much more affordable, casual, and upbeat (not to mention BYOB). This is a place you come with your friends and your own wine, and plan on staying for as long as possible. The steaks are fantastic, but the environment is even better—it’s dimly lit and full of enough candles that you might start thinking it’s a grill-your-own-meat operation (it’s not)." - adrian kane, john ringor

"If you’re looking for steakhouse-quality food without the steakhouse-quality prices, Tango Sur is it. The Argentinian steakhouse cooks great steaks in a dark BYOB space. The fact that you can get quality meat and BYOB for less than $50 is a steal." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
