Mooo-ve over Gibson's and Morton's! If you are looking for a superb steak at a reasonable price, equaled with a sensual escape to Buenos Aires, then the sexy Tango Sur is the place to go!
Meat lovers will be in shock and awe over the rows of beef sizzling on table top grills, and those looking for a little romance can find it in several dimly candle lit nooks throughout this Argentinian-themed steakhouse. Vegetarians will even get a little shock at the creativity used with their empanadas and pasta dishes. Take a pass on "everything else" and go straight for the beef! The filet mignon always a winner and is actually two portions, topped with a delectable, garlicy sauce! Even so, most folks come for the grilled platters for two, which may appear to be cuts of questionable origin but are darn good eatin'!
While the theme truly is sexy and romantic, quiet time can only be found in its earliest hours, since this store front restaurant is a treasure to lots of other folks, too. While the seating can be rather cozy and reservations are not accepted for parties under six, patrons can leave their cell phone numbers with the hostess and have her call you back when a table opens up. Use that time to hit the neighborhood bars and shops, as well as to pick up a bottle of vino, since Tango's is BYOB. Of course, go for the seasonal outdoor dining when available; it adds a bit more privacy, which is good for couples who are still in the "getting to know you" phase.
While it is probably extremely difficult due to the enormous portions, be sure to leave room for their spectacular flan with dulce de leche! Enjoy the dessert slowly, to polish off that bottle as well as to adjust to just being able to walk again after all that deliciousness!
In short, Tango's is the place to go with that special someone for a fantastic meal with a great atmosphere and festive vibe.
Whoops! We can't seem to find any.
