The 15 Best Tango Shows in Buenos Aires

30 reviewed

A Buenos Aires tango house is an evening with an orchestra, a bandoneón, and usually a steak before the curtain. These 15 shows are the ones worth the ticket: which have a live orchestra rather than a track, which include dinner and wine, which sit in San Telmo and which in Puerto Madero, and what each seat costs.

Tango Porteño delivers a full Buenos Aires tango night in an Art Deco theater, with live dancers, music, and optional dinner plus drinks.

“My experience was amazing - from the beginning to the end. Driver picked me up on time and he took us all to the Tango Porteño venue where the show was taking place. Whole experience was amazing. I booked an option with VIP dinner and it was brilliant. I was seated in the front where I had a close view for the entire performance. Waiter immidiately pointed me to my seat and I was served some welcome chsmpane and a glass of wine. I could choose 3-course dinner from the menu and it was divine. Tango lived up to its reputation. It’s definitely worth doing.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 243 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $58

Enjoy a live tango history in San Telmo at El Querandi, with optional 3-course dinner and convenient transport in Buenos Aires.

“Overall, great value with: transport to and from the venue from my hotel, good dinner although service felt a little rushed at time. Show itself very well thought out giving the history of tango, with era appropriate music, costumes and video display. Great dancers, musicians and singers, especially the baritone who, for me, had one of the best voices I have heard in a long time - pitch perfect and wonderful emotion without overdoing it, which would be easy to slip into and go for "big dramatic" singing and gestures.”

10.Buenos Aires: Tango Show at El Viejo Almacen

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 223 reviews · 2 - 4 hours · from $75

Tango at El Viejo Almacen with dinner and downtown hotel pickup. Classy show, intimate room, big value for $75 and 2 to 4 hours.

“The tango show was fantastic and the waiting staff at the venue were incredibly friendly and helpful. Before the event, it was a little bit tricky trying to explain we only needed private transportation home as we were already in the San Telmo district for dinner beforehand. Unfortunately, there was no communication from the event organisers to confirm our messages to say we would not need collecting from our hotel and then the minibus driver was hesitant to take us home when we left the venue as he had not collected us. Thankfully, a member of the venue staff convinced him to take us.”

But, the price and duration were perfect. Show started at 10:00 p.m. and ended around 11:20. Dancing and orchestra were both incredible!”
