Having enjoyed El Tangos on a previous visit to Anchorage we invited some family and friends to enjoy some good food there. I called and made reservations since we were a group of 7. When we arrived our table was prepared except for a shortage of silverware and we were seated within a couple of minutes. Everything looked good and... More

This Argentine restaurant needs help. There was no one there and what we were served (appetizers only) were bland, greasy and tasted like potato, all of them. We only ordered the appetizers as we were leery of there being no one else in the place. They were so bad we decided not to try anything else. As it was the... More

Decided to try this place for our 25th anniversary, what terrible mistake. After living in Anchorage for 27 years I can honestly say this was the worst meal I have ever experienced. If your expecting top service for an expensive menu don't walk into El Tango. Bad service, bad food, zero atmosphere makes for a disappointing evening out.

I just ate the worst food I have ever had in my life. I really don't understand how this restaurant has a single good review. The meat was so over cooked, not only was it dry, it resembled jerky. The sausage was stuffed with chunks of fat and was also over cooked. Beyond that, it also tasted and had an... More

This restaurant was a pleasant surprise! A few colleagues were looking for a reasonably tasty dinner without having to wait for an hour on Friday night and Tango really delivered. This was by the best value of about a dozen restaurants we tried while in Anchorage for 3 weeks. It is not fancy but the selection was wide and our... More

Atmosphere - average. Food - ok, not as special as I would have hoped. Service - average. I was hoping for a great experience, as Anchorage has a dearth of good Latin restaurants. Not sure I would return. My Hispanic friend was not impressed either. Too bad...

I have been a customer since 2007. The dishes couldn't get any better and tastier. Just went back last week and the atmosphere is still wonderful. The Latin melodies played by the gentleman with the guitar, brought back so many memories. A true taste of what GOOD latin food is all about!

Tango is not a Mexican restaurant...! One of my all time favorite cuts of meat is the "Churrasco" flat meat, cooked only as an Argentine can prepare it. Currently in Anchorage El Tango, or Tango Restaurant is the only one offering this juicy tasty Latin American delicacy. On many occasions I have eaten their huge Rib Steak, and ordered the... More

One of the worst restaurant experiences I have ever had. I ordered a shredded beef dish which they did not have. The waiter highly recommended a barbecued veal dish as an alternative. What arrived on my plate was a slab of fat. There was barely enough meat in it to fill a thimble. It was simply awful. I will never... More
