Tanta

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 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!

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

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.

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”.

Peruvian food and eats in the River North area of Chicago. The food, ambiance, and servings were all on point. I’m glad I had Tanta as my first Peruvian food experience and can’t wait to try it again and tell other people about here. Food I came here with 2 other coworkers and ordered waaay too much food for us since the portions are just that big. We got a whole pollo because my coworker recommended the chicken as a must have (which I second)! But I did not expect the chicken and the fries it comes with to be as big as it was. So we ended up not being able to finish it despite it being super delicious. This was my first time getting ceviche (we got the limeno) and I loved it. The seafood was very fresh and the corn pieces were humongous. I went to look for ceviche at other places after my first time at Tanta and they just disappointed me. We got a wok dish as well and it was pretty good but it was a little wet and mushy. Not sure if the food was supposed to be like this but this was not to my preference. The fried calamari was also very good and we got it to also try the yuca fries. The wagyu beef nigiri (criollo) was very good and I would definitely get it again. Atmosphere The inside was on the darker side and gave it a nice vibe. The interior is well decorated and at the center of the room is a colorful wall of fabric. The noise level was on the noisy side though since the place was packed for a Wednesday evening. Great place for casual or fancy alike. Pricing The prices were on the slightly expensive side but this was my first time having Peruvian food so I don’t have anything to compare to. The food tasted excellent and was worth the price point. Service Service was good and the staff was nice in explaining what different things on the menu were. Other
