Señor Tango Dinner Show: What to Know Before You Book

Tips for booking Señor Tango

• Watch the trailer on the venue’s website before you book. The trailer on srtango.ar is a quick way to judge whether the balance of singing and dancing suits you.
• Choose show only or a dinner menu when you book. Adding dinner on the night isn’t guaranteed, and special meals, such as vegetarian or vegan, need to be requested in advance.
• If you booked the VIP menu, confirm your pickup time and place the day before. Some travellers say the pickup time never reached them. Have a taxi or ride-hailing app ready in case the car doesn’t arrive.
• Use the venue’s own schedule as your guide: dinner at 7:00pm, show at 9:00pm. Some confirmations have given 8:30pm or 9:30pm. If yours shows a different time, check with the venue by WhatsApp on +54 9 11 3809 9844 or by email at reservas@srtango.com.
• Bring Argentine pesos for anything you buy at the venue. One reviewer who paid in dollars had trouble getting the right change. Gratuity isn’t included on any option, and a few reviewers say servers asked for a tip.

How a Señor Tango evening runs

Dinner guests are seated from 7:00pm, and show-only guests have been asked to be in the hall by 8:15pm or 8:30pm. The listing gives the show as about two hours, so it finishes at around 11pm if it starts on time.

Delays happen. A few reviewers describe the curtain going up 10 to 20 minutes late, and isolated reports mention much longer waits, or a confirmation showing a different time from the actual start. Leave some time before anything you have planned afterwards, and if you booked dinner, arrive when service opens at 7:00pm.

Phones stay away during the performance. The listing bans flash photography, and reviewers say photos and filming aren’t allowed at all while the show is on. Several said they liked that.

The dinner

Both dinner menus are three courses: a starter, a main and a dessert. The listing describes them as Argentine and international dishes, with grilled meats, pasta and vegetarian options.

Steak gets the most mentions. Most reviews that mention it are positive, although some describe the meal as ordinary for the price, and one found their steak tough.

The house wine on the Executive menu gets the weakest reports. Several reviewers call it poor. The VIP menu replaces the house pour with an open bar of selected drinks, although the listing doesn’t say which drinks those are.

The show

The listing promises “traditional and modern tango, acrobatics, and vibrant choreography”. Reviewers agree about the dancers, and many of the lower-rated reviews still praise them. The disagreement is over how much of the two hours the dancers are on stage.

Fernando Soler, the show’s creator and director, is also its lead singer. Reviewers describe a long solo section of songs, and spoken introductions to the audience in Spanish. Their estimates of how much of the show is dancing range from about a quarter to about half.

For some people that section is a highlight, and many five-star reviews praise the voices and the orchestra as much as the dancing. Travellers who don’t speak Spanish and came mainly for the dancing are more likely to find it long. That expectation gap explains many of the lower ratings.

A couple of reviewers found the sound too loud.

Getting to Barracas and back

Señor Tango is at Vieytes 1655 in Barracas, south of the city centre. Only the VIP menu includes transport. On the other two options you make your own way, by taxi or a ride-hailing app.

A couple of reviewers weren’t comfortable walking around the area late at night. Plan a taxi or ride-hailing pickup for the trip back as well.

Reports on the pickups are mixed. One recent reviewer praised the driver who collected them from their hotel. Others, on this listing and on the other GetYourGuide listings that sell the show with a transfer, describe cars that arrived late or not at all.

Other practical things to know

• Sandals and flip-flops aren’t allowed.
• The listing says the venue is wheelchair accessible. One reviewer who came with a wheelchair user said the staff were very accommodating.
• The inclusions list also mentions a “Creole Menu” with two drinks of your choice. It isn’t one of the three options currently shown. If it appears for your date, it comes with two drinks, not unlimited ones.
• The venue’s own booking page lists children’s rates for ages 3 to 10. Check the GetYourGuide calendar for child prices on your date.

Is Señor Tango worth it?

Yes, for most people who want a large tango production with live music and dinner in the same room. It has 4.7 out of 5 from more than 200 reviews. If you want to eat there, the Executive menu gives you dinner, unlimited house drinks and a table in the executive section.

Value for money scores 4.6, a little below the overall rating. Many of the reviews that mark it down mention the dinner or the house wine.

Señor Tango is a good fit if you enjoy song and orchestra as much as dance, and want a big stage show with dinner. It is a weaker fit if you don’t speak Spanish and mainly want to watch couples dance.

For that, Secreto Tango is a smaller, dance-led show with one couple, live musicians and unlimited wine, but no dinner. It is rated 4.9 from more than 190 reviews and starts at about $68 per person. Rojo Tango, in the Faena Hotel, is the high-end option, with drinks and a private transfer included, from about $260 per person.

If you book Señor Tango, check the time on your confirmation against the venue’s 9:00pm curtain, and sort out your ride back to your hotel before the evening starts.
