In Short
A chain of four linked, intimate dining rooms with window-lined walls covers half the length of the strip mall. First-time visitors nearly always miss the entrance. The decor features round-top wooden booths and large Scrabble-tile paintings. Latin fare peppered with European and Mediterranean ingredients results from the dreams of owner/chef partners who hail from Chile and Mexico City. Entrees include tender Cajun-spiced orange roughy topped with tasty, fruity jalapeno salsa.

Jose was an ex employee of Sabor Latino which is a few blocks away. Jose worked for Sabor Latino for many years as a trusted waiter but he quit from Sabor. Then he opened up a restaraunt with the same Latin food with many of copied recipies. Please do not eat there come to Sabor for the real South American food. Don't support Jose.

I believe this is the first review I've ever written, but I think it would be a good idea for me to chime in. Like the last reviewer, I'm a vegetarian. Given his review, I called ahead to ask whether Red Tango has any vegetarian options, and the man who spoke with me assured me that they did. So ... we went for dinner, and I had very tasty Anaheim chilis stuffed with butternut squash, with a side salad, asparagus, and rice. There was one other vegetarian entree option, and my husband and I shared three-cheese empanadas as an appetizer. The man I spoke with also told me that they do at times change their menu, which may be why the last reviewer and I had different experiences. If you're a vegetarian, your best option might be to call and see what vegetarian options are available on the day you're thinking of eating at Red Tango.

I am pleased that so many people have so many nice things to say about this place, but they do not reflect my experience even after giving them two chances. For one thing, vegetarians need not walk through the doors. There is nothing vegetarian on the menu. Of course, they offer to "make" it vegetarian for you, but my experience is they just pick the meat off of a meat oriented dish, charge the same price and expect vegetarians to be happy. That, in and of itself, is not the reason for my poor rating. I can overlook that and know to stay away. I can even overlook the dirty parking lot and the sloppy dining room. There are some things, however, I cannot overlook. For example, on my final visit, there was a bottle of wine on the menu offered as "On Special". Yet, when I ordered that, it was not available. OK, I can see running out, but that was not the case. There were several wines listed that were not available. Diners need to know this when looking over the list and before selecting. Also, despite the claims of excellent service, I got crappy service both times. I suppose the good service is reserved for regular customers, mayors and celebrities. Our server was a slow as genetic change and forced us to find the manager for our check or go to the car for our sleeping bags. I have nothing against this restaurant, and I am pleased with their success, but it is not for everyone and especially not for vegetarians.
