Buenos Aires: Rojo Tango Show with Optional Dinner
About This Experience
Rojo Tango is the most expensive show on this site and makes no apology for it. It plays inside the Faena Hotel in Puerto Madero, in a cabaret room designed by Philippe Starck as a deliberate echo of the French clubs of the last century — red, low-lit and small.
Capacity is capped at about a hundred people, which changes the experience entirely. The Rojo Tango Quintet plays close enough to hear the bandoneón's mechanics, and the dancers work an arm's length from the front tables rather than a stage-length away. The performers are drawn from the top of the Argentine tango circuit.
The ticket includes alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and private hotel transfers in both directions. A three-course dinner of Argentine cooking with local wines is optional; dinner is served from 8:00pm and the show begins at 9:30pm. At a 4.9 rating it is also the best-reviewed of the large-format venues on this site.

Ok, when one visits Buenos Aires, it’s imperative that one attend a Tango show, right? There are many good opportunities to enjoy tango in BA, but this venue is the ONE! Cozy, warm, excellent service, and the performances are extraordinary. This show transports you back in time with superb traditional tango, then moves you forward to a chic cabaret atmosphere. Up close couples tango right in front of you, while others perform on the small stage or on top the bar to your right. The Musicians get top marks, and there is not a bad seat in the house. Ask for Luna when making your reservation, she will take care of you, I guarantee it. This show is not to be missed—well worth the cost. Without buying a dinner ticket, I was offered a delicious dessert and free flowing champagne throughout the show. I’ve seen several tango performances in BA, this is the best! (Second best is Cafe de los Angelitos).
