Buenos Aires: Rojo Tango Show with Optional Dinner

4.9 (107 verified reviews)

About This Experience

Rojo Tango plays inside the five-star Faena Hotel in Puerto Madero, in a cabaret room refurbished by Philippe Starck and modelled on the old French cabarets of the last century. It seats a maximum of one hundred people, which puts it in a different category from the five-hundred-seat theatres elsewhere in the city, and the Rojo Tango Quintet Orchestra plays for dancers and singers regarded as among the best in the country.

It is by a wide margin the most expensive listing on this site, and the useful thing to understand is what that price is not hiding. At most venues here you compare a cheap headline ticket against a dinner upgrade and try to work out what the difference buys. At Rojo Tango there is essentially one tier, and it already contains the things that cost extra elsewhere.

**Drinks are included** — alcoholic and non-alcoholic both, listed as part of the price rather than attached to a menu grade. **Hotel pickup and drop-off by private vehicle are included**, which is true of no other listing on this site as standard; at Café de los Angelitos a transfer is not available at all, and at Señor Tango it comes only with the top menu.

The **three-course dinner is the optional part**: traditional Argentine cuisine with a selection of local wines and cocktails, served from 8:00pm ahead of a 9:30pm curtain. Since the drinks and the transfer are already in the base price, the dinner decision here is unusually clean — it is a decision about food and about ninety minutes of your evening, and nothing else.

The dress code is nominally smart casual, but the room and the price mean most guests have made an effort. Nobody is refused for underdressing; you will simply notice if you have.

What Travelers Say

Rated 4.9/5 by 107 verified GetYourGuide travelers.

one of the best shows I've seen! so goood! from tranportion to the dinner to the show and back to hotel, everything was seamless and memorable. Definitely a must DO in Buenos Aires!

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).

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Rojo Tango include hotel transfers?

Yes — hotel pickup and drop-off by private vehicle are included in the price. It is the only listing on this site where a transfer is standard rather than an upgrade or an extra, which matters given the show ends late.

Are drinks included at Rojo Tango?

Yes. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are part of the price rather than attached to a particular dinner grade. If you take the optional dinner, it adds a selection of local wines and cocktails alongside the three courses.

Is the dinner at Rojo Tango worth adding?

It is the cleanest version of that decision anywhere on this site. Because drinks and the transfer are already included in the base price, adding dinner buys you three courses of traditional Argentine cuisine with local wines and cocktails, and about ninety extra minutes at the table — and nothing else is bundled in to cloud the comparison.

What time does Rojo Tango start?

Dinner service starts at 8:00pm and the show starts at 9:30pm, with the performance running about two hours — longer than most on this site, where 75 to 80 minutes is more typical.

How big is the Rojo Tango room?

A maximum of one hundred people. It is a cabaret room in the Faena Hotel designed by Philippe Starck, not a theatre — considerably more intimate than the large productions in the microcentro and elsewhere in Puerto Madero.
