Our family and friends have dined at Red Tango numerous times over the years and we've never been \r
disappointed. We are greeted warmly by the host/owner and his wife and have never waited more than 5 mins. for a table. Within minutes we are given homemade bread and/or homemade chips w/delicious salsa, depending on whether it's dinner or lunch respectively. I have to say that I've not been disappointed by any of my meals except one my son had, but that was an exception during all the times we've been here. The wine list has a nice selection which are unique and affordable and the servers are well-versed in which wines pair w/certain foods. In the summer, the cook will make his homemade soups with vegetables and herbs from his garden, and the salads are now larger and have a wonderful balsamic vinaigrette. Soup or salad come w/your meal, and there are daily/nightly specials. My husband had a rib-eye steak w/gorgonzola mushroom sauce w/veggies and a nice rice pilaf. Incredible!! My dish was potato cakes filled w/peppers, cheese, & onions w/a filet of salmon on top w/a homemade picante sauce. Very filling and enough to take home for a light lunch tomorrow. The desserts are top-notch, and almost always include homemade flan, something chocolate and a tres leches (3 milk) cake which is to die for. The owner's wife makes the latter dessert and it one of the best I've ever had. Cordials and liquors are available for after dinner and sometimes, the owner will surprise you w/a compimentary small glass of a liquor. Ours was a delightful orange flavored one. We've taken friends and relatives here and I celebrated my 50th birthday w/35 friends in the back room which was like our own private party. Red Tango is among our top 3 restaurants. Enjoy!
Pros: Never a wait, plenty of parking, easy to get to, efficient, yet friendly service, waiters don't hover or rush you
Cons: Ambience could be improved w/plants, low lighting, perhaps a swag over the ceiling to make it feel more intimate
