My verdict
Best for: Anyone staying in Puerto Madero, and lovers of a theatrical show with big LED screens (a video wall), tango, folklore and singing.
Not for: Anyone looking for a cosy evening, and couples.
- A big video wall with great effects, and a well-built theatrical show with a storyline
- Tango, folklore and singing
- A wide menu choice with VIP
- A beautiful location, ideal on New Year's Eve: you see the fireworks over Puerto Madero
- Big and noisy with many tourists, and the tables are close together (shared tables below VIP)
- The standard food is average and not always consistent; the waiters are very busy
- The narrator speaks Spanish

My experience at Madero Tango
I have been to Madero Tango three times, most recently in November 2025. It is a big, theatrical show: behind the stage there is a huge video wall, and they use its effects really well. With tango, folklore and singing, and a live orchestra, the show is well put together.
A central character links all the tango performances into a kind of story. He speaks Spanish, so without Spanish you will not understand him, but that does not stop it from being impressive. The location is beautiful, and on New Year's Eve you see the fireworks over Puerto Madero.
It is a big room for 250 to 300 people, busy and noisy with many tourists, and the tables are close together: below VIP you share a table. The standard food is average and was not the same each time, and the waiters are very busy. With VIP you get a private table and much more choice. For me, the show only is more than enough.
My tip: The show only is more than enough; if you want to eat, choose VIP. If you are in Puerto Madero anyway, dinner & show is handy. Book in time: it is often sold out.

Reviews
“Great communication and proactive responses.”
Steve D. · Couple · March 2025“Amazing Show The show was amazing! We didn’t get a good view though as we were seated on the side. Maybe priority was given to dining guests. We booked the show only.”
Jenny C. · Couple · December 2024“We booked the tango show and dinner through this site and the booking process was seamless. It was the best priced among all the other sites and we even received a 5% early bird discount on top of that. We tried the food recommended at Mercado de San Telmo and they were excellent! Thank you so much!”
Wannie Y. · Couple · October 2024“Madero Tango was a fantastic experience! The performances and storyline were captivating, with impressive LED screen effects. The dinner was decent, and the view of the stage was excellent. Although the venue was crowded, it didn’t take away from the overall enjoyment. Thanks,…”
