Tanta is dedicated to sharing the flavors and culture of Peru with Chicago, serving authentic Peruvian dishes and beverages in an approachable, fun and casual downtown setting. We provide service that is casual yet knowledgeable, genuine and attentive, utilizing locally sourced products and vendors that are sensitive to sustainable farming and fishing.

    Soooo good! Our first night in Chicago for a family getaway. It was amazing! Everything from the Cebiches, Causa, Anticuchon to the Small Plates were amazing. Our waitress, Angie’s was top notch. Very friendly and helpful. The waitstaff was on top of everything. The restaurant has a great vibe but is very loud. So if you’re trying to catchup with someone this probably isn’t the restaurant for you. However if you’re looking for a fun and adventurous food night this is the perfect place!

    This was our 4th visit to Tanta, and it didn’t disappoint. Delicious food - ceviche trio, pulpo, empanadas. All were excellent, along with the attentive service. I’d recommend Tanta as a fun place to celebrate any occasion, but would highly suggest reservations - on a Monday night the place was packed!

    It was loud and hard to have a conversation at a normal speaking level on a Wednesday night.

    So good. We went for lunch but had been told about a dinner item by a friend. We asked about it with no expectations and they were willing to make it for us. Great service and the flavors blended masterfully.

    The food is authentic. We loved the ceviche, on the spicy side, crab causa and whole branzino, all of which made for a special meal. The service however was slow. We ordered a bottle of wine but the servers walked around for ages until we got it. The place is showing its age, booths and tables are quite worn.

    The food was good. We started off with the papitas tanta great serving on potatoes, then the main course the lomo saltado. The meat was well cooked and very easy to chew. The drinks was good, the chingon was too strong.
