Worth going all out, LOVED IT - There are lots of options for tango shows. But we settled on this one because it offered a lesson as part of the price. The whole experience was brilliant. Lesson was great, the food was superb and you also get unlimited drinks from finishing your lesson to the end of the show (4 hours +). Definitely worth paying the little extra. The show itself was incredible with lots of variety. Couldn’t recommend enough

Pick this one and go all in, you won't regret it :-) - Before our trip, we did a lot of research into which tango place to go to. I'm very glad we picked this one. There's definitely a little industry around tango shows for tourists, comparable to the flamenco business in Madrid and Seville. Lots of options to choose from. Gala Tango gave us what I'd hoped for--excellent wine, a very good dinner, and plenty of tango. Highly recommend. We opted for the wine tasting beforehand. The sommelier was outstanding, impressive even to my long-time wine aficionado boyfriend. For us this was a far better choice than the mini-lesson in tango dancing. The food at the dinner was really good, exceeded expectations. Argentinian classics. I wouldn't say it's Michelin star quality, but it was like dinner at a high-ish end resort (I had braced myself for something more like dinner at a professional association's annual banquet--fortunately, what Gala Tango served was much better than that). Service during dinner was great. Loved the performance! The musicians are talented, the dancers amazing. I lost track of how many numbers they did. Vocal numbers filled the intervals when the dancers were changing costumes. I definitely felt like I saw all the tango I'd hoped for and left wanting to keep listening to tango music. The only part that puzzled me was the show's final number: "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" sung by the entire cast. Right, so, not an Argentinian song, but one written by a British composer and later performed on screen by an American pop star. Not to mention that I can't figure out how today's Argentinians feel about Eva Peron (maybe "it's complicated" is the right answer?). If there was irony behind this Evita capstone, I didn't pick up on it. So, my jaw dropped, but evidently this is what the show's creators think the audience--mostly from English-dominant countries--want. Logistics were fine in that the promised transportation showed up on time at our hotel in Palermo. We were on that van for a long time as it picked up guests at other hotels (use the bathroom before getting on the van). I liked seeing different parts of Buenos Aires during the ride, but after the show we opted to call an Uber.

Great night out - Intimate setting. Fabulous tango dancers, musicians and other performers. Service at the table was impeccable. Highly recommend.

Very Nice Evening! - After the conference, we ate dinner here at the Gala Tango. I chose beef cheek which was very good! It was soft almost like a lengua estofado! So far I enjoyed this dinner very much because it was coupled with a good appetizer of meat empanada and a dessert of crepe with dulce de leche and cappuccino. My friend had a roast pork which he claimed to be very good also. Best of all was the show! It was indeed a mix of culture dance - tango, songs ( Dry cry for me Argentina in Spanish) and music like El Condor Pasa! Their version was excellent accompanied by a ukelele with 10 strings (charango). The gaucho did a good drum and play with the boleadoras Overall a very nice evening!

The best - This is a marvellous tango show, and premium gourmet dinner. Great tango music performed live, energetic dancers and performers, all very tastefully dressed in beautiful costumes. I have seen it before, and will come again.

Excellent tango and folklore show - The place is very nice and the show is highly recommended. Both the tango and folklore musicians and dancers are excellent. Very good option not only for tourists to get to know our typical music but also for locals to enjoy it.

Superb with a great service . - An excellent show with passionate performances. Food good and service from staff first class . Has a really excellent cocktail bar next door for after drinks.

Enjoyed the show - the food less so - The tour loses a star because the dinner was disappointing: for a city that's famous for its steaks, the steaks served with dinner were mostly tough/overdone (not just our personal view but one that was shared by many of those sitting around us). The show itself was fun, with various small groups of dancers performing the Tango, interspersed with songs that were well known to Argentinians, who sang along, but were unfamiliar to foreigners.

Bad experience - Expensive and not cost effective. The worse wines in Argentina, the musicians are great, the dancers also great, but I felt robbed with the fee per person, plus at the end, they charged us for the Whiskey, which was not included, and no one told us about it. So, my conclusions: Good tango, bad service, with aweful wines. Indeed an abuse for tourists. Never going back and never recommending to anyone

A Bitter Experience at Gala Tango: All Glitter, No Substance - This evening, my friend and I decided to dive into the world of Argentine tango, opting for the Gala Tango show in Buenos Aires at $120 per person, drinks included. The exterior of the building, reminiscent of something between a luxurious hotel and a legendary historical restaurant, raised our expectations. However, as soon as we crossed the threshold, it became clear that the facade was deceptive. The first thing that caught our eye was the steep staircase, trying hard to appear luxurious. The stage, adorned with musicians in white suits and a white piano, promised an unforgettable spectacle. Yet, the audience gathered here was purely touristy, without any dress code, resembling a gathering of random people from all corners of the world, with a majority from China. It was impossible to find among the spectators anyone who truly appreciated tango. The stage lighting, seemingly intended as a dramatic element, only highlighted the absurd wigs of the singer and underscored the overall clumsiness of the production. The singer’s performance, especially her failed attempt to entertain the audience with a satirical dance, provoked laughter, but not in the intended way. The male vocal performance also left the impression of a parody of art. The dance numbers, performed by three couples, would have been more fitting for a village festival than a serious tango show. The abrupt transition to a guitar solo, resembling flamenco, only added to the questions – we came for tango, not this. The atmosphere turned into a farce when a child, wailing throughout the program, appeared in the hall, and a couple, for some reason, devoured steaks during the performance, although dinner was supposed to end before the show started. The evening’s climax came when we were almost threateningly offered to leave tips for the staff and artists, after which we left the hall, not hiding our disappointment. This evening at Gala Tango left us feeling trapped in a tourist gimmick, far from the true art of tango. Clearly, the place has the potential to become iconic, but without quality artistic management and respect for the genre, it’s merely a waste of time and money.
