Buenos Aires: Café de Los Angelitos Tango Show & Dinner

About This Experience

The Café de los Angelitos opened in the 1890s and became the room where Carlos Gardel kept his circle — poets, musicians and, by the café's own account, a few criminals. By day it still works as an elegant place for coffee. By night the upstairs theatre stages one of the city's larger tango productions, with more than twenty artists on the boards.

Two things make this listing unusual on a dinner site, and both are worth knowing before you compare prices.

The first is that **the base ticket already feeds you**. Two empanadas and a glass of wine or a soft drink are included before you have upgraded to anything. Every other venue on this site sells a bare admission ticket — at three of them, a bare ticket with nothing to drink at all. That changes what the headline price is actually buying.

The second is the clock. The show starts at **10:15pm**, the latest curtain of any venue here, and runs about eighty minutes. That is genuinely late even by Buenos Aires standards, and it means an evening that finishes close to midnight before you have arranged your way home — which matters more than usual, because pickup and drop-off are not included on this listing at all. You email the local partner after booking to arrange it, at extra cost.

The dinner upgrade itself is a three-course meal with unlimited drinks, with vegetarian and gluten-free options available on request. Seats are assigned by the house rather than chosen. If you want the room and the history without committing to a full meal at that hour, the base ticket with its empanadas is a more sensible option here than the equivalent would be anywhere else on this site.
