About Tango
Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
Tango in Laguna Beach feels like the ocean breeze flirting with your palate. First-timers arrive curious and leave ecstatic. This cozy, romantic corner choreographs both poetry and flavor. Service dazzles, Thia’s warmth and genuine charm set the tone, while Evan adds effortless polish. From the kitchen, Oliver, master chef, delivers transcendence: the short rib defines the evening, and the cheesecake seals it with a final, unforgettable note. Highly recommended.
Tango is an incredible atmosphere, gorgeous design, thoughtful, with an attentive service team, and the food is phenomenal by the way. If this European tapas restaurant and bar was anywhere else, there would be a line at the door, so if you are anywhere near Laguna Beach or Orange County, you should make the trip down. It’s worth every penny. Heart and stomach is full. I recommend Tango Laguna to anyone that ventures near the area.
We had the best time at Tango in Laguna Beach! There was live music playing, and we were seated upstairs in the cutest little nook with a beautiful view—it set the perfect vibe. The decor is charmingly Spanish with a fun, eclectic twist. We ordered the chicken skewers, steak skewers, and shrimp camarones all perfectly cooked and buttery delicious. Even the bread was amazing! My Mai Tai was outstanding, and Evan was the sweetest server who made our third date night here extra special. Definitely a spot we’ll keep coming back to!
Highlight of our dining experience in Laguna Beach! We were super impressed by all the food that came out. Definitely snag a spot on the patio as it is beautiful to be outside.
Next level food, cocktails, ambiance, and staff come together to create an incredible establishment known as "Tango Laguna"! My partner and I have been coming here since moving to the area in 2024, but the recent enhancements have reinvented what we already thought were great.. into AMAZING. This is a MUST visit for anyone looking for something unique and extraordinary in the best beach city ever. 🏖️ Special props to Joey for making us feel like family. Nikko (sp?) and Matt provide some of the best service you'll ever receive, and the bartender is a master mixologist (loved both of the tequila drinks on the menu - pictured). We also visited on a bonus night with live performance by @karinanuvosoul and @yussiwenger, who notched the ambience up another level. Incredible musical artists! 💃 Thank you for creating such a memorial place for anyone to enjoy a date night, feel like a local, or experience new and unique flavors in the neighborhood. Looking forward to seeing all there is to come with Tango Laguna! PS - The cheesecake and banana loaf.. literally.. AMAZING.
