We had a great experience with the unlimited brunch option on Sunday. All five of us, including a picky kid, ate our fill and enjoyed nearly everything we tried. The only complaint is how LOUD it was - we couldn't hear one another talking at a normal volume and by the end of the two hours our son was completely over the noise level just like the rest of us.

Can’t beat their unlimited brunch for that price. I haven’t found another location that has the unlimited brunch nor too the good selection. I wish they left you the bottle for unlimited mimosas, rather than waiting for the server to fill up you glass. Other than that, it’s the best spot on Sundays.

Overall, we had a very enjoyable experience. We were seated promptly on arrival and quickly had some water on the table, but it took a little while before we were able to order. The food was excellent - well prepared, flavorful. The choices were very good as well - a little something for everyone. We ended up ordering a total of six small plates for the two of us. In addition to the food, there was a flamenco dancer dancing through the restaurant, followed a few minutes later by a Michael Jackson imitator dancing between the tables - both very talented.

We found this restaurant 1 year ago and can’t get enough of it! Food is excellent served on small plates so it is difficult to over eat. Enjoy the artists that entertain the diners for dinner.

The food was amazing! It had been a long time since I’d been here and I look forward to dining again soon. There’s virtually no AC here and it was HOT. Uncomfortable for dining. Server was ambivalent and slightly rude. Acted like taking our order was an inconvenience.

This is the second time that I've been to brunch here and I love it. This time Dulce was my server and she made everything so easy! She ordered our pizza's first because they take the longest. She suggested items for my siblings who were first timers and she constantly checked on us. She even went over everything we ordered to ensure we got every item. This did not happen for me last time and I loved the attention we got. Next time we come to brunch I'm gonna ask for Dulce! Overall, the atmosphere was amazing, food extraordinary, and the taco bar while you wait for food was genius!

Very disappointed. Took my Husband for his birthday dinner and our server forgot about us. I have never posted a negative review but this should be noted. We were full and waiting to go home by the time our last dish was delivered to our table, it took 45 minutes for a tiny Mediterranean pizza. Our server didn’t check on us for 30 minutes after telling us the food would arrive shortly.

We always enjoy Cafe Tu Tu Tango! Our friend was leaving for a new job , it was time to celebrate and this is our go to place. We went on a Friday night so the restaurant was crowded and noisy but we felt very comfortable and the service was steller. No one in our party felt rushed and the food came out perfectly in a timely manner. All of us love the tapas menu.
