Blasta Books #14: Tango

Facundo Rodulfo and Pamela Neumann are the dynamic duo behind Tango Street Food in Killarney. Their journey spans continents, bringing the flavours of their homeland, Argentina, to their new community to foster cultural awareness and togetherness.

Facundo’s passion for food began during childhood while watching his Spanish-Italian family cook Sunday meals. His uncle’s founding of a pizza chain in Buenos Aires inspired Facundo to enter the culinary world.

Pamela’s hospitality journey began at her parents’ businesses, first a bakery, then later a hotel on the coast.

Once married, they managed the hotel and restaurant together before moving to Europe. Facundo participated in diverse gastronomic projects in Spain. Meanwhile, Pamela fell in love with Irish family culture while working in the travel industry. They moved to Kerry, drawn by its resemblance to Patagonia.

They started a food truck during the pandemic and now operate the first Argentinian restaurant in Munster and the only parrilla (open-fire grill) in Ireland. They enjoy visiting new destinations, trying different food and spending quality time with their four boys, who adore Messi and playing fútbol with their dad.
