Time To Tango

Tango Del Rey in the Mission Bay area is a gem. Its style and decor are dramatic, decidedly Spanish/Moorish. Posters with scenes of Spanish Flamenco and bullfighting are placed all around the main room, and medallions adorn ceilings that showcase an array of sparkling chandeliers. It offers all kinds of music, from salsa to big band, as well as terrific vocalists and solo instrumentalists. An adjoining restaurant provides food service. Specialty nights include salsa, tango, swing, jazz, blues, and flamenco music and dance. This perfect flamenco setting showcases Nights of Luna Flamenca, featuring Lakshmi Basile and other invited guest artists directly from Spain, on April 3 and 4.
