A tuna melt prepared in a slightly different Italian twist was coated with pesto and mozarella cheese:
Although the twin finger sized fries were too much and the sandwhich may have fared better on a pressed sourdough bread, the tuna and mozzarella was very tasty.
Another day, a grilled portobello sandwhich appeared on my desk: grilled portobello covered in a chipotle aioli type sauce served with what appeared to be cooked spinach was also flavorful. Masked a bit with the sauce and textured heavily woth the mushroom, but nonetheless tasty.
From flatbread pizzas to jalepeno poppers, this tucked in Tango restuarant deserves a try in one of these upcoming days.
And the day came today. Walking into the establishment is a bit of an experience. The tango hall was apparently constructed 15 years ago by a patron for his flamenco dancing daughters. The interior is rather ornate and overly embellished with baroque influenced columns, Arabic mirrored arches and floor to ceiling covered octagons with carpeted decorations. The theme of Spanish fighting bull meats an Arabic prince comes to mind, with gold and red and white everywhere. It's rather interesting, with a certer tango floor in the middle, stage lighting and sound systems to rock out to, the open bar and hospitality required a visit.
Upstairs searing giVes you a view of the whole place. A dumb waiter brings up your food, graciously served by Virginia, the chefs wife.
On a tight schedule, a sauteed tilapia on spinach salad was prepared with a cream dressing:
The fish was cooked well, and for the first time, a spinach salad appeared in PB. Although a light herb infused olive oil based vinagrette would have been the choice of dressing... It was tasty.
Stealing a slice of the goat cheese and spinach pizza my colleagues ordered, was glad to see the flatbread style pizza making it's way as an entree.
Check out the interior:
I see a couple of lunch time tango sessions in the future.
