What people say, in short
Folklore draws recommendations for Argentinian steak, with diners describing a more casual alternative to Chicago's grander steakhouses. One visitor specifically praises a steak at the Wicker Park restaurant. Diners also compare it favorably on value. A commenter likes the more spacious room and full bar compared with Tango Sur, but that seating comparison is an individual account rather than a booking guarantee.
