Don't be fooled by the inconspicuous location of this Argentinean tapas lounge from the owners of Tango Sur. Though the simple brick corner building isn't very inviting, the sparsely decorated, candle-lit interior is warm and funky. The full bar with white mosaic inlays, Euro-lounge/trance music and limited seating at one of the eight tables or at the bar create a mid-week hang out or pre-party atmosphere, but don't forget the fantastic food. The owners recommend some favorites from Tango Sur--including the lomito sandwich and the empanadas--but any of the tapas on the menu will hit the spot.
