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.
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.
Wifey suggested we make it to the Sawdust Festival so while in town we decided to get some dinner. Located near all the hot spots Tango offered convenience with outdoor dinning. First off Niko was our server. Very nice gentleman who was very attentive and informative. Made us feel like we tourist in his homeland of Argentina. Now the food. My expresso Negroni well that was a let down. Not for me. Wifey had a sangria albeit that it’s called something else. Tapas were good. Highly recommended the asparagus wrapped with prosciutto. The steak skewer definitely. The issue and only issue I had was the traffic and the smell of fumes. Not much can be done about that maybe next time we will sear indoors.
