Editorial Review for CAFE TU TU TANGO – by Natasha Rubin

In Short
In an unusual twist on theme dining, black-turtleneck clad "artists" create while patrons dine, each plastering the cafe's ochre walls with his or her eclectic masterpieces. Sharing is the key to navigating the tapas-heavy menu, which offers finger-food staples such as beef-and-cheese empanadas, snapper strips with guacamole and salsa, and hummus and bread whimsically served on a painter's palette.

Awesome place! Great food, great service, and it won't put a dent in your wallet. They have cute little plates you can pass around for everyone to enjoy. Highly recommended for groups and even first dates! I've been going here since college. Now that I'm married with a 3 year old daughter, we still come here for dinner . We usually reserve tickets for a movie first, then we eat at TuTu Tango for dinner while we wait for the movie. My standby favorite is the Gator Bites. YES, GATOR BITES!! Trust me, it tastes just like chicken (with an ever so slight hint of fish..not fishy, but fresh fish). If you happen to be in the OC, I recommend that you stop by this place!

Pros: Great food, awesome cocktails

Cons: Can get crowded, especially when there's a movie premiere across the way

It's like the American/French version of dim sum, except replace the waiters with carts with balloon artists! Cafe Tu Tu is a place you go more for the experiece than the food, though the food's great too. There are artworks hanging everywhere that are all on sale, making it feel like a restaurant and gallery in one. it's a good place to go ifyou're not feeling TOO hungry, and you just want to hang out somewhere that has a artsy vibe and live entertainment.
