Editorial Review for Tu Tu Tango Universal Citywalk – by Natasha Rubin

In Short
In an unusual twist on theme dining, black-turtleneck clad "artists" create works of art while patrons dine, each plastering the cafe's ochre walls with his or her eclectic masterpieces. Sharing is the key to navigating the tapas-heavy menu, which offers finger-food staples such as beef-and-cheese empanadas, snapper strips with guacamole and salsa, and hummus and bread whimsically served on a painter's palette.

i haven't been here in few years and i must say their food isn't what it used to be. i like the atmosphere. the arts on the wall are unique. i remembered the food were outstanding but WOW, this time it was BAD!!! i had the variety of tapas and they were all so bad. the only thing i like was the calamari. the waiter forgot about the calamari and we got it for free. i wouldn't bother going back here again.

Pros: ambience

Cons: service was slow. food was pretty bad.

I believe the presence of live artists at work makes tapas bar Tu Tu Tango one of the more unique dining experiences in L.A. Located at Universal Citywalk, painters and cartoonists create their masterpieces right outside the restaurant. Art available for purchase, mostly modern paintings, plasters the walls inside the venue. Diners select from a wide variety of bistro-style small dishes, including pizzas, salads and meat skewers. The sundried tomato pizza and tuna sashimi were among my favorite plates. The only downsides to the restaurant is that it is dimly lit, so it’s hard to enjoy the art on the walls, and that parking at Citywalk can run $10.
