Folklore Argentine Grill

At this Wicker Park sibling to Tango Sur, the lights are dim, the mojitos are strong, the wine list has tons of inexpensive by-the-glass options—just the right setup for a romantic dinner. But plan to pay more attention to your date than to the food, which has many more misses (flavorless, underseasoned steaks; lackluster seafood and chicken) than hits. For best results, go with the flaky empanadas filled with juicy beef and the parillada para uno, a skillet teeming with on-the-bone short ribs and charred sweetbreads, which will serve you, your date and then some.
