Empanadas, El Nandu, Logan Square, Chicago
El Nandu is an Argentinian restaurant in Logan Square. Dallas and I went to try the empanadas. There was a place in New York I used to always go to and just get empanadas for my meal so I thought we’d do that. We ended up each getting two empanadas for starters and then each ordering entrees in addition. Everything was fabulous. Very tasty. We loved the two condiments we were served even though we don’t know what they were.. they were both green and delicious. We will definitely be back.

Mmmm. El Nandu is one of my favorites in the neighborhood. The condiments are Chimichuri sauces, primarily parsley, garlic and olive oil. One (the thinner one?) is a bit spicier than the other, but both equally delicious IMO, and perfect complements to steak.
Love their empanadas too.
Did you catch a night with music as well?
