CAFÉ TU TU TANGO was founded in 1991 by three friends who had just returned from a trip to Barcelona, Spain. While in Barcelona they marveled at the creativity and culture that surrounded them at so many of the cafe’s and coffee shops...artists scribbling sketches, writers working on novels, poets weaving sonnets together as they shared inspirations, encouraged one another’s creativity and noshed on small plates of unique and eclectic foods. These friends began imagining ways to bring this magic back home with them; and this was the genesis of the super creative, always evolving and sensory invoking experience that is our locally owned CAFÉ TU TU TANGO!

This place was so great. We couldn't decide on what to order, which turned out to be the best decision we could have made -- the tour of tango is far too much food but it's great for a big table and every bite is insanely delicious.If you only get one dinner in Orlando, make it this one. If you get two, go here twice.

Tasty food.. we got the chicken skewers, butter chicken, chicken dip and the shrimp lettuce wraps. All of them tasted very good- the cocktails were nice too. Natalya made sure the service was on point!!

We came to Cafe Tu Tu Tango because of the excellent reviews and were very dissatisfied. The table smelled of a dirty dish rag, but we ignored and enjoyed the art on the walls. We ordered 6 dishes to share. The pizza was fine, the Mac and cheese was okay, but not even large enough to share. It was about a 1/2 cup full. The Korean spareribs were so salty we had to wipe off the glaze to eat them. The Korean Tacos were so off putting I felt ill after two bites. And the alligator bites that we had looked forward to trying were so overcooked and grissley we couldn’t bite through them. So upset and get legitimately robbed of about $100 after the experience. I will never recommend this place.

This place doesn't need any more 5 star reviews, but I'll add one anyway.Was recommended this place by staff at a local brewery and it did not disappoint. We lucked out and arrived at happy hour - amazing specials on drinks and food. We would have gladly paid full price, but discounts are always appreciated. Great shrimp lettuce wraps, Nashville chicken sliders and Mexican street corn. Plus, we bought a piece of art.Skip the chains and go to Cafe Tu Tu Tango!

Came here because the ratings and reviews were so good and I was thoroughly disappointed. Think we spent over 2 hours here basically waiting for our dishes the whole time. If you came to eat WITH your friends, don't. Their style is to bring the food out at random times and so you're left watching one person eat while everyone else waits for their food. Unfortunately two of my friends were left waiting 30+ min for their dishes. Their dishes are very small portions so don't expect to get filled up on one dish that you have to wait over 30min for. Prices are a bit high for basically appetizers. The atmosphere isn't bad though. It's low lit with art all over the walls that you can buy from local artists that can be seen at random art desks around the restaurant. It's different but they have things they need to work on. Maybe come here to chill and talk with drinks rather than to eat actual dinner.

First time in and first time in this type of restaurant. I must say the dynamite shrimp lettuce wraps were awesome. Other things we tried were too, like the brussel sprouts. It was a good experience

My wife and I come here every year a day before Valentines Day. We love this place the ambience and art work is perfect but now 3 years in a row unfortunately we still have to choose from the same vegetarian/pescatarian dishes. We are really hoping to see some new options for next years annual dinner.

This place is incredible. If you love art, you'll love this place and its decor. They have artists painting at little stations, the food is great and the service was just right. It has a great atmosphere to dine in.

This Brunch experience far exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere is alive, and you feel the energy as soon as you walk through the doors. The music was exactly the vibe you want while drinking bottomless mimosas. The food was 10/10. Our sever Nick must be this company’s secret weapon because he was the cherry on a top of the most perfect sundae. I can’t wait to come back!

I visited this restaurant while I was in Orlando for a conference. I had read the many positive reviews and decided to give it a shot. It did not disappoint. We were greeted with a friendly smile at the hostess desk. Our waitress was amazing. She even told us where the bathrooms were which is always helpful. Our waitress explained to us that the food was somewhat like tapas and 2-3 dishes was suitable for one person. My friend and I each ordered 2 dishes and it was perfect. There is art throughout the restaurant that is for sale by local artists. I feel like this restaurant is a must see in Orlando. I will definitely be back on my next visit!!
