Itinerary
Step into El Querandà located in the heart of San Telmo, Buenos Aires’ oldest neighborhood and the birthplace of tango. Begin your evening with a 3-course dinner and beverages, featuring the finest cuts of Argentine beef and classic dishes. Then, settle in for the tango show, a journey through time that takes you from the streets of Buenos Aires in 1860 to the present day. The performance highlights the history of tango and the evolution of the city itself, brought to life by some of the best dancers in town. While the story unfolds, a live quartet, featuring bandoneón, piano, violin, and upright bass sets the rhythm. Two vocalists narrate the tale through song, weaving the culture and soul of Argentina. On stage, four passionate couples showcase their dramatic tango skills with unmatched elegance and intensity. Their precision and sensuality will leave you breathless. The night concludes around midnight, offering guests a truly unforgettable cultural experience in Buenos Aires.

Traveler reviews
Tango Show without VIP or Dining
Demonstration of the history of tango from its early origins to 1955. We arrived early and could order off the restaurant and bar menus. Some tables have obstructed view from pillars. Stage is setup by the street corner door, so a side entrance to the place is used instead.
Disappointing show and conditions
The show was good but we were placed in the right hook on the left side. My partner didn't see some parts of the show because it was not visible for all angles like described. And the waiters bumped into me at least 10x with the plates, bringing them and bringing them back to the kitchen. And the cherry on the top, during the show I get a flash of the phone of one of the waiter in my face so we can pay the consumptions instead of doing this at the end so we can fully enjoy the show we paid for. Please next time, my advice would be at the end so the guests are not bothered and not bump into the guests constantly so they fully can enjoy.
Not Great
Instead of booking through an agency I booked the show with transport and dinner directly with the venue so was hoping this might in some way get my wife and I decent seats. Unfortunately the two of us were placed opposite each other on a row of tables with myself having a pillar right in front of me obscuring my view of the stage. The dinner itself was actually quite nice but, because it was busy, it was a struggle getting a drink refill. Wine drinkers were okay as they got a bottle on the table but I drink beer which came in a can and only managed to have 2 all night! Once dinner was finished the show started and it was here you realised how crammed in everyone was as you fought for chair space with those seated on the table behind you. As for the show itself, it was quite enjoyable, though, as mentioned in other reviews, it would have been better with more dancing and less singing. If I visit Buenos Aires again I'd look elsewhere
Good night out
The dancing was good, showing the development of tango over the years. The musicians were great too. However, there was too much singing and not enough dancing for us. The female singer was ok, but the older gentleman wasn't great and it spoilt the flow for us. The food was extremely good though and the wine was free flowing, so a good night out.
The show was excellent...
The show was excellent and part of the Tango story was wonderful. The dinner was very good, and the transportation too. Everyone was very polite. 😉
