Awesome cozy place. Fantastic service and vegetarian food. The dances and music was mind blowing. 5 pairs of dancers and 1 singer and whole orchestra. Highly recommend.

There are no shortages of choices for viewing a tango show in Buenos Aires. To visit an authentic venue in the historic district, within a cozy rustic building adorned with vintage wall decor creating such an intimate atmosphere is a bonus! Fill that room with hundreds of people, choose a three-course dinner from an amazing full menu, prepared and served with precision - you’d have a wonderful night - and we did! Then there was a tango show. Full stop. This was a tango show that from start to finish was professionally choreographed, with a mix of traditional tango, live music, and extreme performances - it wasn’t acrobatic as I had heard some were, it was passionate and charming! I simply can’t recommend it enough - it was the highlight of our day in Buenos Aires. Complete with pickup and return to our hotel, it was an incredible value, schedule it now before it’s sold out!

Aljibe Tango was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The smoky scent at reception set a great atmosphere, and the staff all spoke English, which made things easy. We appreciated the hotel pickup and drop-off—it made the night stress-free. The food was delicious, and the wine was excellent with generous pours. The show was a real highlight of our trip. The performers’ passion for tango was clear and made it all the more engaging. Highly recommend.

This was a good experience. I went for the show but also had an order of fries. The main issue is that the price point seems a little too high for what you are getting. However, this place is designed to bring tourists through as quickly as possible for different shows so it is not too surprising.

The Tangle stage is very, very nice, and the restaurant is very fitting for showing Tangle. The food was good—the steak was cooked correctly. All in all, it was a delightful evening.

If you are looking for some proper Argentinian food (steak) and a well designed and orchestrated show with music, tango etc and happy to sit on long tables with others this is a great evening show. Wine is of good quality, steak is excellent and the show is excellent. Good value great atmosphere.

Excellent tango show and dinner. The food was really nice and dinner includes a bottle of the Malbec. The three course meal was great and plenty of options to choose from. The show was amazing! The musicians were great and played different types of tango. There were 4 couples dancing and it was lovely to see different ages amongst the dancers. The singer also had a beautiful voice! A must-do when in Buenos Aires.
