Cons:

"Our drinks was nothing but ice, and wasn’t even filled to the top."
"They changed quality for looks! The place looks good but the food is awful and more expensive."
"The taste was not the same, the Argentine flavor was not there. The steak was chewy."
"Food - 4/10 would not recommend, steak was unseasoned and burnt, tasted like they just threw it on the grill."
"The Parrillada for 3 is really only for 1 person and a child or someone who does not eat much is not worth it ($95dl), the meat was tasteless."
"The mashed potato was bad. It tasted like cardboard which leads me to believe that it’s from a box."
Ambiance

Cons:
"Some customers seemed to act and talk in a racist manner."
"Although it was beautiful the vibe was dead, probably because it's in a weird spot."
"The music was so loud you couldn’t have a conversation."
"The ambiance has completely changed - now is dark and loud."
"The new atmosphere sucks, not classy and not appropriate for a restaurant that claims to be a 'steak house'."
"The atmosphere went from cozy and familiar to loud and disruptive."
"It was so dark and crowded I wasn't able to see the menu."
Price
Pros:
"The prices are more than fair for what you get."
"Great authentic Argentinean cuisine with affordable prices."
"Reasonable price for quality and portion size."
"I always like the food @ El Tango and it's inexpensive."
"Price is Right."
Cons:
"Is not my first time going but sure the last one, I like the new decoration, but really the price is too high for the food quality and the location."
"The sangria is also more expensive now. It went from 30 to 40."
"The prices are outrageous 3 empanadas for $16 and 1 choripan for $22."
"Food prices have gone up pretty dramatically; skirt steak was $42 up from probably $25 just a few months back and it wasn’t that good."
"$36 for a small piece of churrasco and 15 French fries (the container was half empty) what a rip off!"
"Drinks weren’t great and over priced. You’re going to pay NY drink prices."
"Charges steakhouse prices for cheap quality food."
