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.

My girlfriend and I used to frequent the location at the Block in Orange, which had the best flourless chocolate cake ever, so when we saw the Cafe at City Walk, it was a no brainer. We were there at mid afternoon, and it wasn't very busy. We walked right into the middle of the foyer, and there was not an employee in site. After a couple of minutes, a boisterous server showed us to our table. He seemed very attentive to my girlfriends bust area, and didn't really acknowledge me. As we sat, we had explained we already knew what we wanted, so he pulled out his pad, and I started to speak and was quickly shushed by the server. His gaze was now fixated on something out the window. As I turned to see what was so interesting, there were a couple scantily clad 14-ish girls walking by. I kind of turned in disgust, and he said "Sorry, but she was really hot!" OK! So we ordered the chocolate cake, and he informed us that they removed it from the menu a while ago, but he wasn't sure why because it was very popular. This happened about 8 months ago or so, and I never thought about writing a review, but I feel it's worth telling, at least for the entertainment value.
Pros: Wasn't busy at the time.
Cons: I orginally said the server should get a job at a certain chain with a orange owl as the mascot, but apparently, that name is considered a bad word on here.

I went with a group of 13, and made reservations ahead of time. We were seated promptly, the waitress was a doll, and despite my thinking the appetizer menu would not be enough if we ordered 1-2 dishes each, I was mistaken! We all ordered 1-2 dishes, most of us just 1, and we all had enough food to eat with some left over. Excellent artsy atmosphere, lots of colorful eye candy, lovely/fun entertainment, we had a blast! Would definately go there again.
