I have lived in this neighborhood longer than it was actually a destination spot so not sure what took so long to pop into this amazing little spot. It is part of the family of Argentinian restaurants throughout Chicago including Tango Sur right next door. We walked in after the Chicago Film Festival and were welcomed by two lovely hostesses. We drank and ate at the bar. The drinks were amazing. The food even better. We opted for a variety of empandadas and hummus because it was a little late to fully fill our bellies. The selection of small plates is impressive. My friend loves Mojitos. I love mexcal so the bartender recommended and made their lipsmaking cocktail. All was fairly priced from a friendly staff. And the lighting is mellow adding to the great ambience.

Came in on a Thursday around 9:30 and sat at the bar. The place is super chill, on the smaller side and low key. Both the cocktails I had were fantastic and strong without tasting like it. Had the 16oz bone in ribeye, cooked to a medium rare perfection and has this chimichurri rub on it that was incredible. It’s served over a healthy portion of arugula salad with peppers - every thing went together perfectly. So basically a 16oz steak, a salad, and two cocktails ran about $70. For Chicago prices that’s not bad. I will definitely return here. Bartender was very friendly as well.

The food was great I had the Lomito sandwich it was tad hard to bite the sandwich because you would bite then it would be a big strip of meat was coming, it also came with fries once I seasoned the fries with salt and pepper oh wait they had salt whoops. I just added the pepper they tasted even better, the horrible part was trying to find parking on Saturday night spent about 25 minutes going around trying to find a parking spot.

The easiest 5 stars I could give and across the board. Bodega Sur is an absolute treasure. The employees are friendly and seem to genuinely want to answer your questions and help you find the food or beverage that you would most enjoy. We enjoyed a couple of cocktails and an appetizer prior to heading next door to Tango Sur. I can’t wait to go back. If you like cocktails, I highly recommend the Caipirinha and Pisco Sour. Jenny (spelling) was INCREDIBLE. As of June 2023, $15 off wine to take to Tango Sur.

One of my favorite places in Chicago. The food is always delicious here. I strongly recommed the el filet bodega with a side of spinach mashed potatoes. The filet mignon really melts in your mouth. The red wine onion sauce and chimichurri sauce goes very well together. Really enjoyed my birthday dinner. Julieth gave us a very attentive service.
