Tanta is amazing. Ambiance is great - very comfortable. The place is very clean. The service was phenomenal - super friendly staff, very attentive, our server gave great recommendations, our dirty plates were cleared immediately, our waters were never empty, I wish every restaurant was this good at being on top of every little detail. Cocktails were delightful. The food was absolutely delicious - bursting with flavors, fresh, high quality ingredients, beautiful presentation, I can't wait to go back and try more items!
This restaurant offers traditional Peruvian dishes where you taste new ingredients and spices. Everything was very tasty. Cocktails great. Nice service.
Making a reservation outdoor Patio was a good decision💯
Lovely time! 🍸👌🏻
I love peruvian food, and I have a Tanta in Chile also, so I had big expectatives. The food is good, the service too, but the atmosphere, even they have great decorations, is mixed with american stile , loosing a little bit the peruvian experience. Altogether, I would recomend this place, the food is very good.
Tanta offers the flavors of Peru amidst the heart of Chicago. As a dedicated aficionado of Peruvian cuisine, I enjoyed my visit thoroughly. It was the perfect blend of fresh, flavorful ingredients woven into traditional recipes, enhanced by a contemporary flair. The restaurant is finely decorated and the staff was really nice! I totally suggest checking it out if you want delicious and fresh food. I’m definitely planning to go back!
Love this Peruvian food restaurant. Tried new food but not too new. It was great. Services from the staff is wonderful. Many dishes I want to try but can’t try them all. Will probably go back to try another dishes. recommended.
What an incredible experience my family and I had at this restaurant. The atmosphere is very pleasant, incredible service from Paulino, but the best thing without a doubt is the food with its spectacular flavors. Everything was very delicious, the drinks, the starters and the main dishes. 100% recommended.

Amazing food, service, and vibe at Tanta 🔥
We ordered two pisco sours, one Royal and one Classico (both were good - Royal was slightly better in my opinion).
For two people, we ordered 3 appetizers and one main dish and thought that was enough food. For apps, we did the Empanada Tasting Trio, Ceviche Clásico, and the Pollo Anticucho (grilled chicken skewer). Our main dish was the Chaufa Aeropuerto (stir fried rice with meat, shrimp, and veggies).
All of the food was good, but for us the highlights were the empanadas and the Chaufa Aeropuerto rice. The empanadas were perfectly crispy, warm, and stuffed generously with fillings. In my opinion, the trio is the way to go because each empanada (corn, chicken, and brisket) has a unique and delicious flavor profile.
The Chaufa Aeropuerto stir fried rice was also excellent. All of the ingredients were fresh and it was made perfectly with just the right amount of heat. Service was also excellent - Vanesa gave us a fantastic experience! Definitely visit Tanta if you can
Great vibe, great food, great service. Love the acidity and boldness of food - not shy nor held back. Pulpo (octopus) was my favorite - bright, smokey, and fruity (from the sauce).
Really nice rooftop and tasty Peruvian food. Highly recommend the empanadas, the ceviches and the octopus. Friendly servers and central location. Portion sizes could be a touch bigger but nonetheless very happy to return.
The food & drinks are always tasty & of high quality. Service is also on point. The El Chingon with the rococo pepper ice orb is my fav drink there. I always get ceviche and the octopus & anticuchon (veal heart) anticucho. Their happy hour menu changed a few months ago for the worse. Not much of a difference between HH prices & regular menu prices. Lots of other options at nearby restaurants in River North offering better specials. It’s nice they have a rooftop, but since it’s a 2 story bldg, don’t expect much of a “view”.
