The portion sizes were perfect for me, however some may find the cost of 'dinner' a bit pricey. Avg plate price =~$10 Recommended # of plates = 2-3 / person + drinks, coffee/tea, dessert. The food was excellent in my opinion! Wonderful flavours!
The noise-level was quite high, unfortunately.
The ambiance was wonderful otherwise.
I wanted to do this a few months ago but totally forgot...
Tango Nuevo is an amazing establishment with an incredible menu and world class staff. We made reservations to have our wedding reception there and they went far above and beyond our expectations. Everything was served in a timely manner, and everyone was so impressed by the exquisiteness of the meal. They definitely have my recommendation for best restaurant in Kingston and will definitely be in again soon.
Thank you so much to the owner and staff! You made our reception go off without a hitch :)
Classy atmosphere, warm welcome, interesting & thoughtful menus. We shared a few dishes starting with a charcuterie board which was a lovely presentation. The stand outs were carne picante, scallops & patatas bravas. I really enjoyed my sweet basil lemonade & my party loved their wine. Considering the quality, everything was priced well. Will absolutely return!
Pricey, but worth it. Between two people we had 5 different menu items, all of which we both enjoyed. I highly recommend the Persian Lamb BBQ tacos - I'd have it without the pickles, but they are fabulous either way!! The lamb is nice and tender , I ate the extra bits by itself. Sauce is not heavy on the garlic (wish it had a bit more). Mekong spring rolls are a must try, the sauce definitely compliments the spring rolls very well. As a fan of spicy foods I did enjoy the kick to it. Other items we had were the pan seared scallops ( good but nothing special), fish tacos, and meatballs. Also had their Berry cheesecake, which was yummy but not very different from others.
We were 4 of us which is perfect for tapas and sharing. We tried several dished and all of them were super flavourful and satisfying. We tried the calamari, spring roles, sambal shrimp, shrimp & Muskie green curry, short ribs and we ended with the charcuterie plate. Everything was delicious!! We washed it down with a couple bottles of red wine and had a great evening. The atmosphere and staff are equal fantastic. Can't wait to go back!!
Great drinks and great atmosphere. Did not try the food. Sat at the bar both nights to enjoy some great drinks. Bartenders (different both nights) were big great. Great selection of drinks, and food looked great. The bathrooms were beautiful and clean.
The different apprtizers they offer are delicious! Their sangrias are my favourite. I had scallops last time I went and they were amazing. Will be returning.
Super yummy food and great atmosphere! It's on the pricier end for a reason! Their Sangria is yummy and I recommend it! I really liked the scallops and the mussels. They are usually always busy so I recommend getting a reservation or going a bit early!
Food was delicious from start to finish. Fresh. Excellent presentation. Busy spot but relaxed atmosphere. Our waitress Maggie was attentive and friendly without overdoing it. We'll be back for sure.
The lighting can make it difficult to see at times, as it is typically quite dark. The ingredients are bought local, and the food is high quality. It is a bit on the pricier side, especially considering the portion sizes, but worth it. I don't find the staff are always the friendliest, it can be hit or miss.
The sangria is very good!
great patio and ambiance for the summer time to catch up over drinks and some light dishes. interesting tapas, a bit pricy, but loved the avocado fries!
Love tapas, love this place. I like how I get to try many things here. There are so many good dishes that it's hard to choose my favorite, although some stand outs are the eggplant tapenade (so tasty), duck confit flat bread and the lamb tacos. The place is classy, dimly lit, and is a perfect place for a date. One thing to note is that it is quite pricey for the amount of food.

My husband and I went for an East Coast Rd. trip for our honeymoon and on the way back before heading back to Ontario we decided to make it 2 night stop at Kingston. We saw that tango Nuevo had really good reviews and I honestly love Mexican cuisine! I will tell you this was not what I expected! The menu was tapas but the variety of the food (around the world, not Mexican) is just amazing! Trying so many restaurants this was by far our most favorite! We talk about it to this day! The spices that they use in their dishes is a Pleasant explosion to your taste buds and everything just melts in your mouth. Let’s not forget the alcohol that espresso martini is just delicious! Highly highly recommended if you’re ever in Kingston to book a place there. The staff was even so nice to give us a call the day of to let us know that we were coming in an hour before the last call that we were more than welcome to come in earlier so that we can benefit from the whole experience! Wonderful service, delicious food and the most romantic, rustic and peaceful environment
Nice ambience and flavourful food but it's expensive. Tapas are usually small portion size dishes so you might have to order 2-3 dishes to make a meal and a better option would be to share.
The service and server were great. One of the few restaurants where I found the server was honest and really knew about the menu and cocktails.
Overall a good place to try not much for vegetarians there though.
I got everything I was hoping for from my Saturday night dinner here. An authentic tapas experience, great service, and a great atmosphere. If you want the recommended 2-3 tapas per person you'll be paying $20-30 for each one. Get only 2 if you want dessert, I was really full after 3. Also be prepared to tip, the staff was outstanding in everyway and seemed genuinely enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We were lucky enough to get David who is definitely a fan of the menu himself and just nailed it with his recommendations for both the food and drink.
Absolutely outstanding! This is now one of our very favourite restos. The food is to die for - amazing! The service was also top notch. I only wish I were dining here again tonight ;)
Unique and delicious tapas on the downtown main street patio. Went on the weekend for a family birthday because it's a family favourite location. As before, it lived up to our high expectations. Lots of variety and unique choices. Prices are higher than average for tapas, but maybe not surprising given the quality and location. Expect to order 2 dishes per person. Patio seating is covered with clear plastic roofing and also has side curtains. It's a busy location but service was great, being quick and polite. TIP: Make reservations. Parking lots around the area and also on the street a short walk away.
Really enjoyed this spot. They have both indoor and outdoor seating which are modern and nicely designed. Our server was very friendly and sparked up a lot of conversation. She also explained the menu to us and gave us quite a few recommendations. The menu is all shared tapas with a fusion of Arabic and Latin foods. Between 3 people we got 6 tapas and 2 desserts and were full by the end. Our favourite tapas were the lamb and the kibbeh- definitely must tries! We will most likely return here on our next visit to Kingston.

OVERVIEW:
Fantastic! It's worth the money, service is great, and many options for various dietary restrictions. I can feel confident about giving Tango Nuevo a five-star as they exceed my expectations by a lot.
AMBIANCE:
Dimly lit chill vibes, some classy music selections. Would have loved a table, but the bar area is nice as well.
SERVICE:
Quick and respectful. The bartender talked to me for a bit about some of their selections and we discussed scotch and Mézcal.
SELECTION:
There's a great food selection. I'm used to only eating 1 or 2 things on a menu due to restrictions, but they provide vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options with a well-marked menu. I always appreciate this from restaurants!
For drinks they do lots of cocktail / mix drinks. I tried my fiancee's drink and it was fantastic. If you're looking for a wide array of spirits, they don't have too much here, however what they do have is top-notch. They had some hard to find Lagavulin and Profesor Mézcal when I went.
TASTE:
Wonderful, we loved everything we ordered and even ordered more. I'm not a food critic, but the taste of the dishes are worth going back for, and worth making a reservation here.
Delicious tapas and excellent service. The lavender lemonade was very floral and refreshing. My favorite dish was the avocado tartare which had a nice fresh zing from the lime & jalapeño vinaigrette. It paired well with the salty Queso Y Chorizo, and the spiciness of the Tuna Poke Nachos (slight heat from the Sambal aioli). The wonton crisps that came with the Tuna and the Avocado tapas were perfectly crisp and were a great vehicle for toppings. Thanks to the team for making our visit a very enjoyable experience!
