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.

    We enjoyed having a friend’s birthday dinner here - but they didn’t do anything to really celebrate with us. Not that it should be expected, but for the price point of this restaurant, I would have enjoyed receiving a dessert with a candle, a small card even. Not sure I would recommend going for a birthday celebration if you’re looking for anything more than a good dinner. They did give us a lovely table though, and the food was very good. I recommend getting the seafood dishes as they’re executed better here than the meat dishes we tried. They were very accommodating of allergies as well which is refreshing. That said, the rooftop was very aesthetic and everyone was friendly. Overall was a good experience, a neat spot to try out!

    As always, excellent food. Very inattentive service; waiter had to be reminded to bring cocktail menu, was ready to leave table before we had completed our order, never brought complementary chips, etc etc. Noise level is equivalent to a late night club - even for 6:00 pm dinner.

    The Peruvian food at Tanta truly is delicious. The lomo saltado is an excellent dish and the cebiche is a must.

    Excellent food - still the noise level makes it a conversational challenge.

    First off, the food was outstanding! They have made some additions to the menu, including a few famous for being on their Miami Restaurant menu of La Mar. We had a ceviche, which was awesome, did the nigiri trio, which also was amazing, and then the scallops similar to the Miami restaurant, and they were great. A little small, but very good. Then the service issues began to pile up. We had Beef Skewers that were supposed to come out next and instead, brought out repeats of the earlier dishes, which we let them know we already had. It took over 40 minutes of sitting there to get Beef Skewers. And tracking someone down for a drink was nearly impossible during this time. Ultimately we got one more rice dish as well, which was awesome and called it a night. The food was AMAZING as usual. The service, they look short-staffed and maybe had a new ticket system, as there was mass confusion. Surely it will work itself out, but be prepared for a few snafu's while they do work it out. The food is worth it!

    Nice outdoor space. If it's a sunny summer day and they have the DJ is a cool vibe.
