This place is top notch for a tango show. The dancers are amazing, with quite a variety of performers. Dinner was nice and service was fine. A little commercial and pricey, but for the show they put on, we'd recommend it for sure. Pick up from our hotel and dropped back off. Pretty efficient.

With only 4 nights in BA, we knew we'd only have time to see one Tango show, and spent a fair bit of time looking at web sites and reviews. In the end it was our tour company Cultura Cercena that recommeded this one, and we were not disappointed. We selected the VIP dinner package and Cultura arranged to get... More

First class dinner, service, and especially the show! The live music, singers and dancers were awesome and thoroughly enjoyed the entire evening. And, it started right on time which isn't always the case in Argentina. Highly recommend this show ....tickets available from LandingPadBA.com (excellent service).

Tango is a must if you travel to BA, and this is a great place to watch this country's national dance. The show was fabulous, and the dinner and wines were delicious.

Stunning little theatre, surprisingly good food but the real attraction is the dancing - mesmerising tango.

The area was so dangerous. The building was beatiful. The food average. The show was so small (only few couples) , I was expecting a big show according to the price.
