About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions

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.

The menu, created by Acurio and Tanta Chicago Chefs Jesus Delgado and Jose Cubas, takes diners on a voyage through Peru via its food. From the Pacific Ocean, through the Andes, to the desert, to the Amazon, Tanta celebrates the diverse landscape and ethnicities that make up Peru’s culture.

    This is the second time we've been to Tanta in the past month, and it was nothing like our previous visit. We went to Sunday brunch, and the service was extremely slow, with our waiter disappearing for long periods. The brunch menu is reduced and doesn't offer Causa, which was one of our favorites the first time we went.

    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.
