Order VIP tickets ahead of time. Go to the front of the line. As you enter the restaurant, get your photo taken with a tango dancer. SMILE! Be seated at a table that faces the stage. Receive champagne, a bottle of Malbec (Rutini). Order the lomo jugoso, and it'll be tender and medium rare. Order as an appetizer the prawn... more

A perfect tourist evening, well-organized to get you in and out happy. I don't agree that BsAs food is good, and the meals here were just fine, what you would expect at a large dinner show. It's a beautiful place, and even though the service was "rushed," it was friendly and efficient. Everyone speaks English. I'm real particular about tango,... more

The choreography, the technical skills and the artistry of the dancers were superb. The orchestra, the vocals and the wardrobe were also fantastic. So I'd be happy to tell my friends to watch the show. The dinner experience, however, was like an american airline meal. It was way too crowded. Yes they give you unlimited wine. But the main course... more

CARLOS GARDEL During dinner and show we were seated together like cattle, we were sitting so close that if my boyfriend tried to move he would touch the lady beside hims bum. The seating gave no enjoyment of the dinner you just wanted to get it finished with and see the show. During dinner you are also bothered by people... more

Where to begin? Let's start at the beginning where they place your group at a long, thin table so the only way one could see the stage would be to turn ones' chair 90 degrees. Oh wait, you can't do that because the tables are so close together that everytime a waiter or customer passes behind you, you get shoved... more

As one other reviewer noted, stay away from the meal/show package, and grab a bite to eat at Abasto shopping centre across the street. Just buy tickets to the show, if you can do so. The show was wonderful, but the food preceding it tasted like it was conjured up for gastrointestinal-disease patients in a hospital ... blobby, bland, undercooked,... more

The esquina Carlos Gardel was a great experience, the service was wonderful. The show consisted of different performances of local tango dancing which was absolutely amazing. The only thing that was negative was that the food was really bad, I did not know you could pay to see the show and not eat. I recommend that you eat across the... more
