Overview

A dance which achieved UNESCO World Heritage status, the tango isn’t merely a performance, it’s a window into the history of the Argentinian capital. Theories about the origins of the name vary, but one thing remains consistent—it was born in the barrio of San Telmo. A show at El Aljibe is the tango in its birthplace, performed in an unlikely setting—a former convent.

Show will not start on time. They will ask for tips. Even though I only paid for the show. I took Uber to and from the show.

Very nice, but mediocre food

Eric_G, Jul 2025
Very nice experience with the dancing and atmosphere. But keep in mind the food and wine were average.

Perfect night

Roland_S, Mar 2025
Book the show with dinner. Perfectly organized, delicious 3-course dinner and an outstanding tango show made a perfect night out.

Excellent Tango Show. Well worth experiencing.

Lesley_N, Mar 2024
The Tango show, singing and dancing, was outstanding! Great service. Food was good and wine was plentiful! Overcharged the stated price for photo, which was disappointing.

Great show, food. Bad service

rrhirschman, Mar 2024
TERRIBLE service. Great show. Very good food. Dinner at 7. First course fine. Main served after 8--lights went out immediately for show. Had to use phone to eat. No dessert til 9:02. 200+ people. Only a dozen or so had terrible service. Wonderful talent. Incredible band leader playing small accordion. Really Incredible. Excellent older couple dancing classic tango. Three younger couples dancing more stylized tango very well. Gaucho woman and man team with the noise-making balls on ropes were amazing. HIGHLY recommend show but service may be extremely disappointing.
