The Scene – Local couples and South American expats turn out in droves to devour reasonably priced, authentic Argentinean cuisine served in large portions. In between courses, patrons enjoy a unique, colorful atmosphere created by an abundance of imported Latin art and music. Those unfamiliar with Argentine wines wisely allow their capable, bilingual waiters to recommend selections from the restaurant's intriguing, affordable list. On weekends, expect a wait for seating at one of the benches out front. – – The Food – Fans of carnivore-friendly Argentine cuisine…

Awesome steaks!!
by steaklover74
I cannot say enough about my experience at Tango. Service was excellent from the moment my wife and I stepped in. The host was professional and courteous, the waitress was attentive and knowledgable.
The restaurant was full on a Wednesday night (always a good sign).
My churasco steak was out of this world. My wife too was impressed with her filet mignon.
We had a question about selecting a bottle of wine and the owner came over and helped us pick one that went with our selection.
Overall, if you haven't been here already - you don't know what you're missing. Easily Arlington's finest restaurant.
- Pros: Excellent food and service

DO THE TANGO PAST THE TANGO RESTAURANT
by TYG INSURANCE
As a long time resident of Arlington, I looked forward to trying out the Tango Restaurant. I walked in at 6:00pm on this past Saturday and was greeted by a well dressed gentleman in a white jacke...t and pants and asked to be seated. He looked around at a half empty restaurant and responded that he had no available tables but he may have in in about 45 minutes. I left the establishment knowing that I would not return in 45 years lest 45 minutes. I understand the econimics of seating one person versus the potential to seat 2 or perhaps 4 but I view this treatment as short sighted since not only would I not return but am compelled to write this review as an example of the kind of treatment you can expect at the Tango restaurant. After leaving the Tango, I walked up the street to Risorante Olivio and asked to be seated. Without hesitation, I was greated pleasantly, seated at a window seat, received excellent service had a wonderful meal and left within 40 minutes.
To the owner of the Tango Restaurant, I recommend that he remind the gentleman who greeted me to treat patrons to his establishment as well as he was dressed.

Liked the concept
by yummycookies
Made reservation one day in advanced. Got there 10 mins early. Waited in line for 1.5 hours from the time of reservation. The host was horrible. Very unorganized. Seating people out of turn.
The food was on the salty side. Desserts were great.
Complaint to the owner. He did not care. He said "see the long line that I have" and walked away. The waiter came over and throw the check at us. There was three of us and the bill came to $165.00. Not even a "Thank you". Will never go back.
- Pros: Liked the location
- Cons: Rude wait staff. Long wait even with reservation.

Where to Sit:
The restaurant doesn't have the best air conditioning system. On humid evenings, ask for a table near the front door, which is in constant motion and affords a slight breeze.
Know Before You Go:
Leave the vegan in your life at home. Only a few basic salads are offered, and a table that isn't covered in meat is an oddity.
The Extras:
Catering services are available as well as a private dining room that can fit up to 50 people--call ahead for reservations.
Smoking Permitted:
No
