We decided to check out their brunch Bottomless brunch as we had never been here before. It costs $34 per person without drinks and this is what we opted for. Parking was a bit difficult if we didn't want to do the complimentary valet, but luckily they opened up a self parking option for us next door so we appreciated the nice gesture from the staff. It was super loud in here so take a note of that if you're bringing little ones. We ordered plenty of items, and got plenty full. Some highlights were the brussel sprouts, butter chicken tissa masala and the warm guava bread pudding. The self serve taco bar was also really good. The rest of the food was just ok. Probably a better place to have brunch with friends and if you come really hungry, but we were with our toddler and baby so wouldn't go back until they're a bit older.

CAJUN CHICKEN EGG ROLLS
Ericka D.

This was my first visit and I will be returning for more delicious food! I really enjoyed the aesthetics of the restaurant with the live music, good drinks, and the portions of food to share. Our waitress was very friendly and recommended some great choices. The variety of foods to choose from will have you looking at the menu for a while lol but I definitely recommend the crispy Brussels sprouts and Cajun egg rolls.. 10/10!!

What a neat little find in Orlando! Café Tu Tu Tango is such a fun and unique experience. From the beautiful exterior decorations and artwork to the walls inside covered with incredible pieces from local artists, there is something interesting everywhere you look. Many of the original pieces are available for purchase, and if they're a little too pricey, they also offer affordable prints. The artwork is absolutely stunning! The staff were super friendly, welcoming, and helpful, and the food was AMAZING! Great atmosphere, beautiful art, wonderful service, and delicious food. Definitely a place we would visit again!

The atmosphere at Café Tu Tu Tango is fun and unique, and it's a great place to go for the vibe. However, the food was just okay, and I was disappointed by the limited gluten-free options for the bottomless brunch. I wish they had more GF-friendly dishes to choose from. Overall, it was an average experience, and there's room for improvement, especially when it comes to the menu.

JERK CHICKEN SKEWERS
Marieangely C.

Cafe tutu tango is a very fun, arty atmosphere. They have live entertainment (I've only seen belly dancing) which is cool bc it's something different. It's tapas style so the food comes as it's made but everything came out super fast my last time which was nice, but it was also a little overwhelming. I think most of food it pretty good, but there's some things I don't like. Like the jerk chicken skewers. Not for me. But my favorite (surprisingly) were the sesame chicken skewers. It didn't appeal to me but my boyfriend got it anyway, and I'm glad he did. Overall, it's a fun time!

BUTTER CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA G
Steve D.

We were in Orlando to catch a movie in 4DX, and Cafe Tu Tu Tango ended up being the perfect place to eat beforehand since it's just a few minutes away. I'm glad we picked it because the whole experience was a lot of fun. The first thing you notice is all the artwork and colorful decor. Then a live contortionist started performing while we were eating, which definitely wasn't something I was expecting but made the place feel even more unique. Sebastian took great care of us. We had a few gluten free and other dietary restrictions at the table, and he answered every question without missing a beat. That kind of service always stands out. I had the sweet potato, the street corn and the butter chicken tikka masala, and every plate was worth ordering. I also tried the Starry Night cocktail. I normally avoid vodka whenever I can, but this drink completely won me over. Easily one of the best cocktails I've had in a while. If you're already heading to the attractions on I Drive or catching a movie nearby, I'd definitely recommend stopping here. Great food, creative drinks and an atmosphere that's just plain fun without feeling like a tourist trap.

STARRY NIGHT
Steph T.

The last time I came here was on a Wednesday afternoon. There was an event about the start in the bar area, so we sat outside on the patio. It was a bit of a bummer since we couldn't enjoy all of the crazy artwork, but at least there was the perfect weather. Overcast with a beautiful breeze. I got the Starry Night and the Frozen Strawberry Limoncello. He got the Warhol Wake Up and the Impressionist, which was created by Michelle, our wonderful bartender. We decided to give a little bit of everything a try so we ordered the "Get 'Em All!" It had jerk chicken skewers, a Cuban slider, a cauliflower taco and more! In my opinion, the best bite of the plate is always the jerk chicken. A close second was the chicken chorizo slider, which was also bursting with flavor. And don't even get me started on the dessert! Those triple chocolate cake pops were so decadent. The strawberry and whipped cream were a nice pallet cleanser in between nibbles. All in all it was a great time with delicious drinks and bites.

I can't believe I haven't left a review for Tu Tu just yet! This is currently- and has been for a few years- my all-time favorite restaurant. It's the perfect mix of delicious food, artsy and fun ambiance, interactive elements, and reasonable pricing. The wait staff is always fantastic, friendly, and great about explaining how things work if you've never visited before. Tu Tu Tango is a small plates restaurant known for their incredible bottomless brunch, which includes a fabulous self serve taco bar and unlimited small plates from their brunch menu. They also have bottomless mimosas at brunch and awesome happy hour specials from 3-6 *and* late night every day except Saturday. All of the food is outstanding and their dishes span a wide variety of options from across the globe. To top it off, the whole restaurant is colorful, funky and the walls are covered with artwork (which you can purchase if you fall in love with a piece!). There is always something going on- from live music to fortune telling to artists sitting at their easels creating right in front of you. I visit Orlando often, and this is the place I always recommend when people ask me where to go. Five stars, don't miss it!

Croquettes, was too busy eating and missed the other dishes. My bad!
Saqui R.

Great find! We enjoyed every tapa dish we ordered. The waiter was right on with every item he suggested. We tried the mix of Chips,Pep Pizza,Sweet Potato, Croquettes, Burger Sliders and The Mahi tacos. And to finish with a Home Run. That Crack Mango Coconut Parfait and Guava Pudding put us over the top. Definitely a spot to hit again. Made sure to let the family know, if in Orlando. Make sure you make this a dinner spot destination. Loved the service and only the lighting could use a bit of help. A bit way too dark In there. Besides that, we had a wonderful evening.

Cafe Tu Tu Tango is located just steps from ICON Park, making it the perfect place to experience the energy Orlando has to offer. And that energy is exactly what Cafe Tu Tu Tango delivers--an immersive and colorful atmosphere, excellent music, amazing service, and the perfect spot to recharge after exploring Orlando. Be sure to stop by for Happy Hour--you definitely won't regret it. It's the perfect opportunity to sample a little bit of everything Cafe Tu Tu Tango has to offer. Their Black Bean Hummus with pita bread is my go-to choice, paired with a glass of white sangria, of course. The Baja Fish Tacos are another fantastic option. And the street corn? My absolute guilty pleasure. It's so good that I refuse to share it with anyone! Whether you're a local or just visiting Orlando, Cafe Tu Tu Tango is a fun, energetic spot that's well worth a visit.

STREET CORN + POLLOCK PUNCH (non alc)
Raena D.

As locals, we typically do not visit restaurants in the I-Drive area, however we visited Cafe Tu Tu Tango on a whim as we were able to secure a reservation on a busy holiday weekend (Memorial Day). Vibes were fun & quirky, with an aesthetic I can only describe if Chuy's and House of Blues had a baby; artsy & eclectic. Our server was very nice and had good recommendations. We enjoy tapas style restaurants as an opportunity to try a variety of small plates to get a feel of what the restaurant offers. We ordered the street corn, sesame steak skewers, and garlic maple chicken wings. The corn and steak skewers (so tender) were delicious, however the wings fell a bit short. They weren't bad, but there wasn't any essence of garlic or maple; more like heavy ginger and citrus. Cafe Tu Tu Tango is an enjoyable option for tourists who want something perceivably "different" than what they'd experience at home or in the surrounding area. We may consider trying their brunch in the future with a side of fortune reading :)

It has been several years since I have been to café tu tu tango and it was nice to be back this time for brunch. For $62 and some change you get unlimited items on the menu as well as endless mimosas. Like many brunch locations in Orlando they do have a two hour maximum at the table for brunch and the whole table has to do bottomless brunch. We tried a little bit of everything, but some of my favorites were the chorizo, chicken slider, the dynamite shrimp, the chilled udon noodles, and the breakfast tacos. There is a taco bar where you can get regular Carne Asada, chicken Tinga, and El Pastor tacos and they were OK but it's mass serving so a couple was good enough for me. Our server was excellent. She took really good care of us and always made sure that our mimosas were full.

You know one of those places you can go to again and again and still not try everything you wanted to or see and experience all the crazy things going on? Well this is one of those as it really does have something for everyone! Coming here has been a long time coming as we've always said that this is one of those places we are gonna go to when we can't decide what we wanna eat because here you get to try a few different things to make what's totally good! First we went with the Brussels sprouts they were cooked perfectly with a bit of a sweet and a bit of a chili vibe to set us up for what came next! Those delicious jerk chicken skewers were yummy the chicken was tender and full of flavor and just hit the sauce spot totally! The chicken tikka was definitely some of the best I've had in a while as it has soo much flavor that you couldn't contain it all in one bite especially with those pickled onions on top! The Cajun chicken pizza was flat and flavorful with bits of chicken all through it as well as soo much flavor it was definitely cool to take a some of that to break up the other goodies we had at the same time! My drink was literally as If I was drinking a sweet blueberry it was soo good and just delicious like that really was one of the best cocktails I've had in a while! Our service was amazing as they kept checking on us as you order things as you go at least we do so much love to the staff because that's gotta be a lotta work going back the table soo many times! Now throw all that in with live belly dancing and love artists yeah that just set the vibe for what's totally good as who doesn't like artistic activities going on around you! My only downside to coming here is their parking but I'm not gonna knock them for it as it seems like it's kinda forced upon them with their neighbors doing it but I might be one of the few to say this but I hate valet parking I'd rather do it myself and that's just what I did as parked in another parking lot and just walked over problem solved! Overall I'm sure we will be back here again at some point because how can you not next time though it's gotta be a group with a bunch of friends because then that will just be a party!

I didnt see the bites however, their menu is still the same with plenty of options.

We chose seats at the bar and were greeted promptly by Brian and Rowan. Because there were a lot of people and just the two of them, they were running around taking orders from tables as well as servicing the bar so it did take a little bit to get our drink orders in, but we were enjoying looking through the whiskey library anyways. I started off with a Suncreek blonde ale. It is strawberry blonde ale and it's delicious. My husband started with the Yingling. He keeps hoping they will bring the Kentucky bourbon ale back on tap again. For lunch, I got the whiskey dip which is full of chopped beef with cheese and onions. Served with an herb, dipping sauce, and your choice of side. I opted for the sweet potato waffle fries because they are delicious. My husband got a burger with fries cooked perfectly. Once we are done with our food, we did opt for a taster. My husband had to go through several different bottles before he found one they actually had in stock. That is one of the downside is the whiskey library that is online is not always reflective of what they actually have in stock as he was really looking forward to trying the old Fitzgerald birthday, but alas, they did not have it in stock. He ended up going with the jack Daniels 12 year and really enjoyed it. I opted for the widow Jane 14 year very sweet easy to drink. Great service from Bryan and Rowan always enjoy seeing them behind the bar

I'm not a fan of rum, but the drink I had (at the recommendation of our server) was actually very good. I can't remember the name unfortunately, but it was one of the "tide" drinks - not the velvet - but it's not on the online menu. For food my friend and I shared the cheesy arepas, which were good but not like usual arepas. She had the empanadas and liked them, I had the la canoa, which is a take on a Puerto Rican dish, it was really good, but different than I expected. For dessert we tried the banana bread pudding. It was huge and tasty, but way too much for two people. I will say, I always get confused and read this dish as bread pudding with bananas, but no it is made with banana bread. So if you don't like that, I'd try something else. Also, shoutout to our great server Freddie. He was very patient and knowledgeable.

Never Made It Inside - Poor Wait Time Management…read more We were really looking forward to trying this place for the first time, but unfortunately never got to eat here. We arrived at 6pm on a Sunday and were told the wait would be 45 minutes to 1 hour. We understood it was busy and put our name down. After waiting 1 hour and 15 minutes, we checked back in, only to be told they had no idea when we'd be seated. We gave it another 10 minutes, but still no timeline or update. I completely understand that restaurants get slammed and wait times can be unpredictable. What was frustrating wasn't the wait itself - it was the lack of honest communication. If it was going to be a 1.5-2 hour wait, just tell us upfront so we can make an informed decision about our evening. Honestly, the host seemed to have forgotten about us as she seemed surprised and scrolled way down the list to find our name even though we were "top of the list". After waiting over 1.5 hours with no end in sight and getting increasingly hungry, we had to leave and grab food elsewhere. With three hosts working, I would have expected better expectation management than what we experienced tonight. I hope this was just an off night, but we left disappointed and hungry.
