“ Folklore has been one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago for over a decade. They have the best filer I've ever had. It's not even usually my favorite cut, but it's drowning in flavor, and I could die in a vat of those spinach mashed potatoes. It's so great for a date, a family meal, dinner with a friend, or a group! Lively, loud, and celebratory! ”

“ Loved this place! Candlelit, cozy vibes with great service. Food and drinks were also incredible! Definitely get the corn empanadas and Tallarines- fettuccine, but with a tomato cream sauce instead, per recommendation of our bartender (definitely do it). We also tried the El Filet, which was cooked perfectly and paired well with the red onion wine sauce and spinach mashed potatoes. We tried the Entrana skirt steak as well, which was just as good. Get the espresso martini with cheese. You really can't go wrong with the food or drinks here. ”

“ A neighbor gem! We have tried Tango Sur, El Cheand this place in Chicago, and Folklore clearly stands out as the best. It is the most specious one providing my own personal space and very relaxed vibe. The server was very attentive. We got parrillada for two and berenjena en escabeche (eggplant with various herbs). Berenjena was a big surprise for us, and it was so good on its own but was better with different meat types. Meat platter was awesome; and my wife loved the blood sausage while my favorite was sweetbread. Portion was so big for both dishes, and it can definitely feed more than 2 (likely 4 for the regular eaters like my wife and me). Thoroughly enjoyed Folklore. Will definitely come again! ”

“ I have been coming to this restaurant for years and it's always just as good as the last times I have gone. Absolutely love the food and customer service. Beautiful ambiance and you will always find parking near by. ”

“ Always fantastic. Excellent service, atmosphere, fantastic espresso martini and food is always delicious. ”

“ Incredible dinner! After having this on my list to check out for months, I finally got a chance to visit - very impressed! We started with three different empanadas, along with the bread and butter. I would highly recommend the ham ones - but the steak one was excellent as well. Our waiter was attentive, giving solid recommendations (the flank steak with mushrooms and asparagus was near the top of his list). I am so glad that is what I decided on - the steak was done perfectly, medium rare, on a sizzling skillet. The veggies complimented the steak well! The cheesecake was amazing - would recommend. Already looking forward to going back - the patio was a relaxing setting, but I am interested in trying the indoor setting as well. ”

“ Walked into Folklore Argentine Grill because we wanted to try something new. The atmosphere is nice with unique lighting and flamenco music. There are two dining rooms. The first is smaller and has a more casual vibe. The second, main room is livelier but has a more romantic feel. Sat at the bar for a few minutes while they found us a table. Tried the pauloma (that's how they spell it) and it was excellent. Strong and tasty. Tried the caipirinha as well and that was just as good. We were seated in the main room and our waiter was very friendly and patient as we took some time to order. He brought out complimentary French bread which was delicious and is definitely made in house. We started with the tortilla de espinaca which was fresh and lighter, and serves 3-4. Next we had the chicken and spinach & cheese empanadas. Both were very good and I'm sure the crust is made in-house as well. Neither of them were greasy. Last we had the berenjena which was flavorful but pretty rich. This Argentine restaurant stands out as authentic with freshly made dishes in a nice area of Wicker Park. ”

“ We were on in the mood for some grilled meats for date night but didn't want to leave a restaurant smelling like smoked meats. A friend had mentioned that they had eaten at Folklore in Wicker Park a while back and we weren't sure if it was going to be too busy but knew there were also other restaurants in the area we could go to. Folklore takes reservations over the phone but we were seated immediately for a party of 2 on a Thursday evening. We started with a beer and soda along with an order of the chicken and beef empanadas that were served with a chimichurri sauce. For our entree, we ordered the Parillada ($52) which came with short ribs, sirloin, sausages, sweetbread and blood sausages and their house made potatoes. There was so much food that we ended up with plenty of leftovers. Also you cannot pass on the fresh and hot baked french bread that they brought to the table. Pretty sure I ate three baguettes with the bread. Our server was very attentive and even came and switched out the candle on our table so I could get better lighting for my photos. The real candles added to the romantic ambiance. We'll definitely be back soon! ”
