We did not have dinner here. Really nice show, enjoyed it from start to finish.

Wow! Just plain terrible food.... Truly deserves ZERO stars as I am not creative enough to conceive of any circumstance that could compel me to return. I can't imagine what may have happened since some of these positive reviews were written, but the food was a joke. Oh, and not cheap.
After strolling around San Telmo, my wife, our two friends, and I were famished a very much so looking forward to a good meal. I used the Google Maps "search nearby" feature to select this restaurant. Upon entry, the manager or owner (?) attempted to steer us to the tango cafe across the street by the same name. We assured him that our motivation was dinner and not a show. The place sure looks upscale and so we all thought, this must be the better dining choice between the two.
Appetizers were mediocre to tolerable, but the main courses - pew!
The worst was one of their "wok" dishes, ordered by our female friend. It came without rice. This surprised the waitress so she went to get some. A bad sign when the kitchen doesn't know the dish. But the taste...enough SALT to kill a horse! Seriously inedible. I could barely choke down a taste! I would have readily bet the owner that wouldn't eat his own food. And the ingredients... eggplant(?) so tough as to be best described as softened wood !! I am 100% in earnest about this. Our only recourse was to send it back. Her husband ordered the fish of the day, the odor of which was making me queasy from across the table. (I suspect, as a testament to our hunger and his civility, he ate it without complaint.) On the waitresses emphatic recommendation, I ordered the ravioli. Better described as Chef-Boyardee in quality. Mushy in the extreme, bland, and appearing suspiciously completely uniform in shape and size. Covered in sauce that one might forgivably mistake for tomato soup, with sliced green olives and a small dollop stringy spinach (?) as garnish! Sorry, hog slop!
Though we walked in a bit early on a Thursday night (approx 8pm) we did remain the only patrons in the restaurant. The manager/owner(?) showed not the slightest interest in the buzz/drama regarding his only customers despite our waitress' concern and frustration. I suppose that best sums it up.

I didn't expect the show to be too great when I arrived at the place and saw the stage, which seemed too small, but after the show started I was very impressed by what the dancers were able to do: stunning and beautiful performances using every single inch of the stage, up to the edge and even beyond it!
I think the VIP option was worth it, since it seems I had a better view from the balcony.
I didn't have dinner there, so I can't say anything about it.

Unbelievable tango show, breathtaking from the beginning to the end. We didn't take the package inclusive of dinner and heard that dinner isn't great. The show is worth every penny though, a must in BA.

Veeery touristy place. All the big hotels call and get a huge commission on the entrance. If you call yourself try to convince them you are not a tourist and you don't need them to pick you up. You should be able to get 30% off. They are out there to pump your money (tips, photos, souvenirs...). There is good live music and very pro dancers. I personally fell asleep, but that is just me.
