El Che Steakhouse & Bar

This is a nice little spot in west loop, the food was good and the service was outstanding. The highlight for me was the wine, they have a great South American selection of wines and the Pet Nats are specially outstanding. We had a reservation at 7:30 but where not seated until 8:00 which makes sense since it was very busy specially on a Tuesday night and we had a large group so that’s completely understandable. The food was good however I personally feel that it was a little under seasoned to my taste. Other then that great experience.

This was truly a unique experience. Not your typical steakhouse. No bread, no Caesar salad, no crab cakes truly original menu of different steaks and seafoods. I started out with the truffle empanada( very tasty) and had the salmon while my wife had the 8 ounce steak and the broccolini.. zero complaints…I want to comeback the table next to us ordered the whole fish I want to come and order it when I have more of a appetite.. thanks guys for your hospitality. We’ll be back soon.. keep the light on please..

One of the best birthday experiences I’ve ever had! From the greeting, service and delicious food, I couldn’t have been more satisfied. The Rum Old Fashioned, the house Cabernet, the house Pinot Grigio, the Short Ribs, the Ribeye, the Potatoes Bravas & topped it off with an amazing ice cream birthday dessert! Thank you for the amazing service and the delicious meal! Will be back and highly recommend!!

We loved our experience at El Che! We got the empanadas and waygu steak tartar. Empanadas were amazing! The tartare tasted heavily of caper and aoili. We shared a dry aged NY strip, chorizo, and sweet breads. Everything was good! I wish the steak would have been a bit more tender, but the beef flavor was excellent. This restaurant clearly takes pride in their food and take great care of their guests. Thanks for a delicious meal!

Near perfect steakhouse experience. We were a little disappointed that they did not have any tomahawk steaks but our wonderful server recommended the party steak which we got cooked medium and it was absolutely delightful. The Japanese sweet potatoes and broccolini were our sides and they were both excellent as well. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a good steak house in Chicago

What an excellent experience. I went on a Friday night to celebrate a friend's anniversary, and it was fantastic. Our server, Julio, was outstanding. He made excellent recommendations for wine and was very attentive. I definitely will recommend this place to friends and family. The food was also excellent.

We went to El Che last weekend and it did not disappoint. We started off with the wedge salad. This is hands down one of the best salads I’ve had from any restaurant. The ingredients were so fresh and amazing. We ordered the filet and ribeye. Both steaks were spectacular. Both were cooked to a perfect medium rare. We also tried the lobster tail with the butter on the side. The butter here is so unique and has an amazing rich flavor. This restaurant is a little pricey but the food quality and service make it all worth it.
