El Querandi - Cena Tango Show

Anyone complains about seating, don't believe it. The stage has 2 sides and the performance were evenly spread! We were a dinner only booking and yes we were sat at the back of the smaller side. The view was absolutely fine! As for the musicians and performers - they were amazing! The live band were fantastic and the sound quality was perfect. The dancers and singers were also brilliant. You have to enjoy the moment and focus on the stage.... Yes the room was full, but its a popular show and there nothing wrong being around other people if you and they are respectful. Of course the waiters are moving in between the tables which may cause you to adjust your chair sometimes but that's no reason to be negative. Highly recommended show as a group or a couple! Thanks El Querandi for a memorable evening!

Spectacular show 10/10! Good food 8/10. Hurried service 7/10. Only bad thing: everyone was dressed in summer dresses and shirts and the room was so cold we were freezing. Told the staff and it was better for a while but then cold again.

We had such a lovely and Romantic date night ! You are immersed into a Tango dance show with live music and beautiful lightning atmosphere. It was lovely to see the choreographies incorporate the unusual triangular shaped stage with a beam in the front. The dancers are very creative. The costumes are beautiful ❤️ We did not chose a 3 course meal, but we did order off a finger food platter and a champagne off the menu. It was more than enough for us and actually we couldn't finish everything, so it is easily enough for 3-4 people ! The waiter was fantastic and kept a close eye on our glasses to refill them as soon as they were getting low. I would recommend this show and dinner 100%

We were picked up in our Hotel at Recoleta. Arrived at the venue, greeted and taken to our table. Dinner and wine was excellent. Show was a plus! Then we were transported back to our Hotel. Would definitely recommend. We had the VIP dinner package, not cheap- but 1st row seating and premium wines and food.

The show was really good: beautifully orchestrated, nice costumes, musically very well performed. The VIP dinner was more than OK, and the location is scenic. Special thanks to Andrea!!

We arrived at El Querandí buzzing with excitement, but that energy vanished the moment we were seated behind a literal wall. When we requested a move to available seats with a clear view, we were denied; instead, we were offered another obstructed spot. Management later informed us that because we didn't opt for the dinner package, we were intentionally assigned the worst seats in the house. While the fleeting glimpses of dancing I caught over the glowing phone screens of the crowd looked decent, I spent ninety minutes staring at a pillar. Unless you're willing to pay for a meal you don't want just to see the stage, I strongly suggest finding a venue that treats all its guests with respect.

A very well crafted Tango Show that takes you through the entire History of Tango. Since it’s inception at the end of the Nineteenth century until the late fifties. The stenography, the musicians and the dancers are very good and the atmosphere recreates the time. The only complaint is that the staff starts to dismantle the tables, glassware and cutlery before the show ends and that’s annoying and kills the momentum. Also the place where you’re sitting makes a whole difference try to get a place in the main saloon not in the right wing…

The history of the tango was fascinating. They disappeared when the wine ran out though. Unlimited is a misnomer. I also saw them pouring the unfinished bottles of wine back into the bottles after they thought all the guests had left. It is a shame because the show was amazing.

I was worried about the mixed reviews, but ended up having a great experience. If you are a first-time tourist, this place will likely meet your expectations to become familiar with the history of tango and enjoy the dance while having a decent bite and Malbec. Yes, the venue is weirdly shaped and the stage indeed has a beam. But the artists do actually use both features pretty effectively. We went there not expecting the highest quality of service and food, but admittedly I really enjoyed my Patagonian stew. The included wine is better than most you would get in the US. I didn't find the show and costumes to be tacky and would not deem this place to be a tourist trap. Good value.

4.5/5 stars The full experience with the show, dinner, and transportation was $100 USD per person. The dinner included unlimited drinks, so we tried the house Malbec wine, which was very good. It got busy later in the night, so we had to wave down the waiter for more water and weren't offered more wine or any coffee. For the meal, I got the San Telmo salad, lamb casserole, and the chocolate cake. The salad was good, and I was surprised by the generous amounts of cheese on the plate, which went well with the bread. The lamb casserole was delicious too, although could have had more lamb pieces. The chocolate cake was incredible!! It was super chocolatey! The show was also great! I loved watching the talented tango dancers.

This is pretty popular and long lasting Cabernet show in town located in the old town, quite a history here. But the space is like a big banquet room lack of personality and the stage has a big beam in the middle that kinda annoying. The food offered was not good, didn't expect that high quality anyway. The show tickets include a bottle of house wine, we got the red wine which is refrigerated :( The show itself was pretty good. There was a short intro about tango but basically a collections of clips that has tango in it even Charlie Chaplin, it was not really anything about Tango history. But the dance was good, there are couple different parts and showcase different techniques, it gets better and better throughout the night. Also some signing part even I had no idea what they are singing it was till entertaining.

Came for the Tango Show at recommendation from travel article. I've been to several in the past, but this was spouses first time and we picked something close to our hotel that wasn't too expensive. The place was mostly empty, albeit we came during the pandemic in the April low-season. There wasn't much personality to the space but I will say the staff couldn't have been nice enough. That was the saving grace. The tango show itself was only 3/5. I didn't enjoy it as much as I would have hoped, but it was interesting seeing the history of tango evolve, even if some segments were 'touristy' and the use of 'cheesy graphics'. Included in our tickets were an appetizer and bottle of wine. We ordered an empanada which was kind of bland. I don't know that I'd recommend people coming here for dinner. The maitre d' takes photos of each couple / group, and at the end of the show has it printed for you to purchase as a memento. Overall, this place definitely caters to budget-conscious American tourists. If you are looking for a more high-end, discerning experience, look elsewhere.

My wife and I attended this Buenos Aires tango/dinner show in late March, 2024 and had a thoroughly entertaining evening. The tango performers were energetic and passionate, the five piece band was comprised of five skilled musicians, and the food was very good. We attended as part of a Roads Scholar group and this was included as one of the many activities in our tour. I had a large beef tenderloin and chicken Empanada, a tender and flavorful beef steak and all the wine I wanted. My wife had a "Capresse salad", spinach crepes in mushroom sauce and creme caramel for dessert. Our meals were large and flavorful. Altogether, it was a fabulous experience.

I went to Tango Rosa (supposedly the best tango show) and paid $200 for the show only in January. I could only see the dancers from their shoulders up. A huge disappointment and waste of money. We paid $55 for El Querandi and received a bottle of wine and water and an appetizer or dessert and transport. Our seats were great-book directly with el querandi. The dancers, musicians and singers were terrific. Excellent show. Small venue.

We went for dinner and the tango show. Where to start . . . 1. The service The hostess was incredibly slow dealing with the line. She seemed to be hard of hearing and unable to understand English or Spanish. Once she got to us, the venue shoved us together with dozens of other diners in a crammed corner of the room. My head was touching the head of the person behind me. My elbow was touching the person dining next to me from another party. It was so crammed that the waiter had to ask me to grab my plate from his hand because he could not reach the table. 2. The food Yuck, truly terrible. The steak tasted of chemical accelerant. If you want meat and lighter fluid, then this is the place for you. I don't know what they did, but wow. They told us the fish of the day was swordfish. It was not. Whatever white rubbery river fish they served us wasn't edible. They never brought butter for our rolls but probably for the best since they were rock hard. 3. The escape We ran out of there after the main came and did not return for the show (which may be good, I'll never know). They called our hotel a number of times asking about payment. We returned to the restaurant in person an hour later (before the show even began) and explained that the food made us sick. They took our money anyway after being incredibly difficult. The same hostess asked why we left and then was visibily angry about the answer. Then she refused to take our money and insisted that we follow her into the restaurant to make payment at the register. We said no, we don't want to squeeze back into the crammed restaurant, just take the cash. Eventually, we had to just put the cash down on her podium and walk out with her shouting after us. Shockingly bad. No stars

This was my first tango show. The service was great and the food was excellent. Wasn't sure what to expect from the show but was pleasantly surprised. The band was excellent and tango was lovely. Costumes were very nice and overall I had a great time!!!

Woe to anyone who paid full price for this tourist trap - the whole place screams cheesy and outdated.. yet prices are overinflated. It's approximately $100 USD for dinner and a show. The layout of the restaurant is a weird 'L' tetris shape where 1/2 of the tables have a bad view of the stage. On top of that, the food is pretty horrendous - probably one of the worst meals I had in Buenos Aires. But really the tango show, which I thought would make up for the food and cheesy tourist trap feels, was pretty boring with only about 2-3 minutes of great eye catching moves. Save your money and avoid this crappy place.

Dishes are horrible, very bad quality and badly done. I ordered ice cream for dessert, they only offer 1 scoop of ice cream, (most of the places you can choose 2) the ice cream was all melted when it arrived at the table. They talked to us very quickly and attention was very bad because the place was crowded. Overpriced , the quality of the dishes is not so good.

If you have one free evening in Buenos Aires, this is the best thing to do. First there is a wine tasting where the Sommelier is knowledgable and friendly. He spares no detail and each wine is carefully paired deliciously. Then it's on to the tango show. I can't speak for the caliber of the dancers as it was my first show, but I can say that it was entertaining. The dancers showed all their passion and yet kept a fine discipline. The menu was also superb, the cuyana had a strange, but good taste. The sol was cooked well, but the seasoning is what made it great. The desert was some sort of ice cream that came in several layers which included several berries and chocolate.
