Chicago | AMAZING Argentine Seafood Paella, Squid & Mussels! 🦑🍤

📍 Artango Bar & Steakhouse We skipped their steak this time (let's be real—steak is everywhere!), but their SEAFOOD? 🔥 Next-level delicious! The vibe? A LIVE HOUSE with a huge stage (check pic 5!). 🎤🎶 It's loud (thanks to live performances—you'll be shouting over the music), but the energy is electric ! The singer even gets the crowd dancing 💃🏽. Too noisy? Sit outside—perfect for warm weather! ☀️🍹 🍽️ MUST-TRY DISHES: 1️⃣ Paella Del Sur (Small) A seafood-packed paella for 1-2 people—shrimp, mussels, scallops, baby squid! 🦐🐚 The rice runs a bit dry, but the seafood saves it . 2️⃣ Ceviche Nikkei Chilled perfection! �🐟 Loads of raw tuna with crispy taro chips for dipping. Zesty, refreshing, and my FAVE! 💕 3️⃣ Mejillones y Morcilla Mussels + sausage + bread = HEAVEN. 🍞🌊 The mussels are SUPER fresh , the sausage is flavor-bombed , and the sauce? Bread-dipping gold. 4️⃣ Pulpo A La Parrilla Grilled octopus + potatoes + greens. 🐙🥔 The octopus? 10/10. The potatoes? Great… but the yellow sauce? 🤨 (Same with the side greens—meh.) ✨ Overall Vibes: A UNIQUE spot since Argentine cuisine is rare in Chicago ! The live music + performances add major charm. 🎷🎉 🍸 Drinks? Surprisingly smooth —not too strong, perfect for lightweight drinkers like me! 😅 ⚠️ Downsides: - Slow service (it's always packed!). - Pricey (kinda fine-dining level, but the service/staff vibe is more casual). Still? WORTH IT for the food + experience! 🎊 #ChicagoEats #FoodieAdventure #ChiTownBites #SeafoodLover #DateNightSpot #LiveMusicDining 🎤🍽️
