Fantastic Tango experience - This was a fantastic experience. We were picked up and later dropped off at our hotel right on time. Our table was reserved for us at a great spot. The dancers were fabulous, the band was exceptional, and the other entertainment was far above expectations. The dinner was so good. Everything flavorful and the wine kept flowing. This is a must do for everyone visiting Buenos Aires.

Great lesson, show and good dinner - We took the lesson + show + dinner option.
We are beginners after taking some lessons and classes before coming to Buenos Aires, and the class was appropriate for both complete beginners and slightly more advanced people. I wouldn't take it if really advanced as you might end up with complete beginners.
The show itself was excellent, with singing, impressive dancing, and an intermission with a gaucho-style drums and boleadoras show. We were a bit far in this large theater but could still see very well.
The meal was good, with a salad, a steak or pork chop, and dessert, as well as unlimited wine.
Plan to have some cash to leave a tip. The staff was a bit heavy-handed about that.
Great experience altogether, even though it is obviously rather touristy.

Interesting night out - A lovely experience. The food was great and plenty of it. The only downside for us is we normally rise earlier and eat diner earlier and so was a little late for us by time show finished. Nevertheless recommend it as something you should do when in Argentina.

Enjoyable Performance - The tango show was very good, would recommend. I don’t understand Spanish and all the songs were sung in that language, but i could still feel the emotion. The dancers were excellent and the production was very well done. It didn’t seem ‘spontaneous’ and everything was staged, so maybe it wasn’t the most authentic, but it was a very good show nevertheless. Would recommend.
We didn’t opt for the dinner so our seating was very far back which was a bit irritating as everyones heads were in the way, but there was no obstruction such as pillars etc. They told us to arrive by 9:30 and we came at 9:20; ideally should have come by 9:45 pm since the show started at 10. I had thought that coming earlier meant a better spot, but I don’t think that was the case since others were placed in front on different tables when they came later.

Ho hum - The pickup wasn’t clear about the time of arrival, meaning I had to wait over an hour. The many staff at the theater couldn’t speak English and answer my most basic questions. The food was average. My chicken was like leather and had presumably been sitting on the plate for a long time. The show was OK but lacked much in the way of theatrical emotion associated with tango. The wait staff were very efficient though.

Not worth it - Not very impressed at all. If you want to see tango dancing then don’t bother, it had too much singing , live music and not enough tango dancing
I think there was a story to it but couldn’t understand
Venue was ok

Don't bother unless you pay for VIP seat - For an evening that cost over $300AUD, it did not feel like value for money.
The food was OK, it oeaked with the entrees and went downhill for mains and dessert. Nothing terrible, just average, and what you'd expect in a mass-dining theatre show. Service staff were incredibly efficient. Given the cost of tickets, the direct request for tips for service staff was a bit off-putting. At a very low estimate, (seats at table x 18 tables per section x 5 sections) they must be taking in $100k US per show. They should be paying their staff adequately instead of forcing them to rely on tips. They can do what they like though obviously.
The seating however was terrible. This is where the advice comes to don't bother going if you don't pay the extra USD $10 for the VIP seats.
I have attached photos of my view of the stage. I reckon I saw 20% of the show.
Luckily the music was good.
