Tango Argentine Grill – Palm Beach’s Original Parrilla Since 1996

Atmosphere & Story

Tucked inside Arawak Garden across from Barceló Aruba, Tango Argentine Grill has been transporting guests to Buenos Aires since 1996. As you enter, the aroma of mesquite and hardwood charcoal fills the open-air dining room while chefs sear premium cuts on an authentic parrilla. Strings of lights, live music, and candlelit tables create a festive vibe that spills onto the garden’s courtyard—perfect for lingering over Malbec and savoring steaks the Argentine way. Chef Julián, with 25+ years behind the grill, leads the culinary team, making sure every steak is juicy, smoky, and kissed with flame.

Parrilla Tradition

Argentina’s obsession with asado lives and breathes here. Tango sources high-quality beef, seasons it simply, and lets charcoal and wood smoke do the rest. Enjoy tableside carving, chimichurri in abundance, and a menu full of classics that keep regulars returning weekly.
