Lively and varied show - Charming setting. Good to have a variety of performers. Especially appreciated seeing an older couple. Loved the gaucho performance, which was unexpected. We did the show only but were pleased we still had a good view.

Fantastic Tango show and dinner - Wow! What a fantastic evening of food and entertainment. Firstly the food, plenty of choice on the menu, 3 courses of high quality food and a bottle of wine per couple. Next the entertainment, what a show! So much more than a few dances. A varied program that showcased the music, voices, dancing and culture of Argentina. And finally, the service. Our hosts were so helpful and charming with nothing too much trouble. Then there was the venue, a lovely intimate set up which had 3 different levels so no issues seeing the show at all. And all that for a very reasonable price, especially considering the quality of the meal we were served.

Completely satisfied - A great experience in an authentic ambience. For dinner there was a good choice with three courses, all quite good, drinks included. The waiters were nimble, because there was a time limit until the beginning of the show. The Tango Show was surprisingly good and versatile with good live music. All around a successful evening.

El Aljibe Tango Show in Buenos Aires with Optional Dinner - Our Antarctica and Falklands Islands Expedition started upon our arrival to Argentina with a dinner followed by a dance, of which, achieved UNESCO World Heritage status, the Tango, which isn’t merely a performance, it’s a window into the history of the Argentinian capital, Buenos Aires. The stories about the origins of the name vary, but one thing remains consistent, it was born in the barrio of San Telmo. The show at El Aljibe is the Tango in its birthplace, performed in an unlikely setting, a former convent. The Argentine Tango is a partner dance and musical genre that originated in the late 19th century in the suburbs of Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Montevideo, Uruguay. It is known for its close embrace, improvisation, and expressive connection between partners, with movements often involving a combination of fluid steps and quick footwork. Unlike competitive ballroom Tango. One disappointment - when the Waiter knocked my wife's knife off the table onto the floor, absolutely no attempt was made to replace the dirty knife - small but important details which really matter.

Very nice, but mediocre food - Very nice experience with the dancing and atmosphere. But keep in mind the food and wine were average.

Good show to start learning about tango - Space is limited in a theater like setting so tables were closely packed, I was sitting next to my wife and facing another couple at the table. We didn’t mind and the other couple was not too chatty. Dinner was of decent quality, you cannot expect gastronomy. The tango show was pleasing and interesting to watch. I am not sure it covered the deeper nuances, but that would probably require a full day workshop or so. If one of my friends were to go to Buenos Aires, I would recommend going.
