The New Year's Eve prix fix meal offered a good variety of selections. For our appetizer we had their wonderfully light, flaky empanadas. These are small meat or vegetable filled little pocket pies. Generous fillings, amazing crusts. A MUST! Salad came with an unexpected surprise of 3 grilled shrimp on the plate. It had an assortment of fresh greens and sliced tomatoes, paper thin sliced red onions, and a (too small) dab of delicious mustard vinegarette. The mushroom soup almost seemed canned? I give them the benefit of a doubt. The swordfish was grilled nicely and just a bit dry. The marinade/sauce was pleasantly lemon with a tasty zing to it. My Medallon of Filet mignon with pimienta sauce was off-the-charts excellent! It was served very thick, perfectly medium-rare in a wonderful buttery, black pepper corn sauce. They provide beautifully tooled steak knives. The filet was so tender you could cut if with a fork with a perfect balance of firmness on the outside and silkiness on the inside. This was one of the best I've ever had. The Tango fries (similar to scalloped potatoes but without a sauce) were slightly crispy, mostly tender, nicely seasoned. Nice with the filet. The colorful roasted vegetables were firm and full of flavor. Dessert offered a small slice of dark chocolate cake in dark chocolate frosting. Just okay. I had the flan (a very popular Latin custard-like dessert with a caramel sauce). Just like the creme brule I recently had at another local restaurant, this flan failed. The custard was curdled with a scrambled-egg-like texture, A BIG NO-NO! It's supposed to be smooth and glassy. The caramel sauce was low on flavor. But, they added a glob of some other kind of caramel on top that was thick like peanut butter and you couldn't dip into it on its own. You had to push it off to the side of the plate and struggle with it to get a small bite. I would think twice about dessert . I still recommend Tango. The empanadas, the steak, and sides, tops!
Pros: Delicious food! Nice atmosphere.
Cons: Inexperienced waiters, slow, forgot soup
