Editorial Review for Red Tango – by Wendy Wall
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.

My husband and I have eaten here before. We decided to take his mother, who was in town for a visit, to Red Tango for dinner as she is from a small town and appreciates unique dining experiences. We like Red Tango for it's delicious menu and unique dining choices - not your typical fare. It's spicy, delicious, and different. I forget the name of the dish, but it had tenderloin and potato pancakes and was very scrumptious. My husband had the special, it was some sort of spicy pork. My mother-in-law had the stuffed chilies and absolutely loved it. We really enjoy that eating here is unpretentious, friendly, and free parking! It's a bit of a surprise, hidden in a small strip mall in Wheat Ridge. And the food never lets us down.
Pros: Unique food choices
Cons: not a lot of ambience

I went with a friend during the week for dinner, so there weren't many other guests. The service was fast and server offered suggestions. I have been to plenty of restaurants that claim to be latin american, but they are really just expensive Mexican. The food was delicious and very latin american. We shared an appetizer, a salad and two entrees. Sometimes servers don't like having to bring extra plates for sharing, but they seemed to enjoy that we were having our meal together and sharing. It was a little more expensive than I would have liked, but you can't really get this type of food anywhere that you want. I would have to save this restaurant for special events because of the prices. This is the only reason that I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5.
Pros: Unique food
Cons: A little expensive
