About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Good for groups
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.

Tanta has two Chef’s Tables that each seat up to 10 people. These tables are located in our main dining room in between our open kitchen and cebiche bar which allows you and your guests to experience our chefs creating Peruvian cuisine while you dine.

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.

    when asking for the bill, we recieved the wrong tables bill. i also asked our waiter for to-go boxes, where in return i got a sticker that was supposed to be brought up to the front counter to claim the left-overs. I gave the gentleman the sticker and i got the left-overs, only to get home a hour and a half later to realize that i recieved somebody else’s food. Other then that the food was amazing it was a little noisy but it was a friday night so thats to be expected.

    The food was amazing! The dishes were flavorful, bold, and quality ingredients! The service was the downfall. Our server was too worried about socializing than attending to his guests.
