So much to do and so little time. Today Restaurant Reviews Aruba – Tango and Fishes and More. We had dinner at Tango on Monday night and dinner at Fishes and More on Tuesday. The restaurants are located right next to each other in a quaint food court called the Arawak Garden plaza, and also with Salt and Pepper, Burger King and a pizza place we haven’t tried yet. On most evenings after 7:30 or 8:00, you’ll find a musical entertainer on the intimate stage that can be appreciated by outdoor diners at any of the restaurants.
We’re really good eaters but dining out every night for an entire week, we’re not able to do our usual three or four courses. I think we will still be able to give you a good idea of whether or not you would enjoy either of these spots.
At the Tango Argentine Grill, Ernie had the Tenderloin Churrasco. This main course was a 10 ounce Argentine style cut of tenderloin superbly cooked to medium-rare on an open flame and served with green beans and the house potatoes (a savory, buttery mashed potato).
I ordered the 8 ounce Filet Mignon, which was a tender cut of beef, grilled perfectly to medium and also served with the house mashed potatoes and fresh green beans.
Of course what else would one possibly order at a restaurant called Fishes & More? Here you can get Grouper, Red Snapper or Mahi Mahi prepared almost any way you would like it. The early bird specials offer approximately 10% off the entree and are available before 6:00 on most days and all day on Tuesdays. Ernie ordered the Grouper which was dredged in a light seasoning and pan-seared; he said it was delicious and would order it again. I ordered pan-seared Mahi Mahi, also just lightly seasoned. It was similar in texture to swordfish but lighter and less dense. Each dish was served with green beans, broccoli and cauliflower.
Tango and Fishes & More were outstanding and we’ll be back to both restaurants when we visit Aruba again in January.
