Refreshing cafe tucked away cozily in a Days Inn. New ownership has reimagined the interior and added a patio with shaded seating. The interior has seating as well, is very welcoming, and has a cool relaxing feel to it. The current owner (Mr. Katriel Menedez) is a trained Argentian chef who has reformatted the menu with savory dishes and delicious sweets in addition to espresso drinks. Tango historically served Argentian fare and was quite good but Mr. Menendez is truly building something special.
The Argentian pizza was surprisingly light and very delicious/flavorful, the empanadas contained well seasoned meat and were wrapped in delectable pastry, and the steak sandwich was bedded in a large home made roll and accompanied by two sunny side up eggs. The pastries are light and sweet. Anything they make with Dulce de leche is great! Staff including Mr. Menendez are warm and welcoming. I look forward to going back every time I leave.

I'm surprised how many 5 star reviews this place has. The interior could use an update and some cleaning. The empanadas were doughy and the fillings were not great.

Hands down the best pastries I’ve ever had in my life! For this to be the first time me trying Argentinian pastries they really set a bar that I personally feel like can’t be topped no where else .from the customer service to the delicious treats I will always be a returning customer , can’t wait to try the empanadas!

Great place for no frills pastries and empanadas. I've also gotten some sandwiches which are large and tasty. During my last visit I ordered a large box of empanadas and pastries to share with a group and I wish I ordered more! They were gone in minutes. I will be back, but increasing my order!

Not bad… for American standard.
The alfajores are good and have plenty of dulce de leche; however, other sweets don’t have enough (see photo)… the empanadas are not bad, but if you expect to have classic Latin American empanadas, better look for homemade. The place is dark, looks dirty and disorganized, and the service was slow.
I would recommend only if you don’t have/know other alternatives.
