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.

    What a delightful experience! Each dish was carefully plated and offered an aesthetic that was superb. I enjoyed the traditional pisco sour cocktail as we started w/ Maracuya, an ahi tuna dish paired with taro chips. Next was the Lomo Saltado, a perfectly cooked beef tenderloin dish. Tanta never disappoints!

    Tanta never disappoints, although the presentation of the dishes used to be better., and that gors for the drinks too. Hopefully it goes back to the old ways and the restaurant will keep going strong.

    Upscale Peruvian cuisine. They have 4-5 different kind of ceviche. The ceviche is not that big, if you eat alot you probably need to order 2. It is kinda pricey but it is in downtown. Pisco sour is strong. For $16 they make sure you get every ounce of pisco that can fit in the glass.

    Food was incredible. The variations on the Pisco sours were great incredibly attentive staff and easy to get reservations on a last-minute on a Friday.

    I wish I caught the name of our waiter as he was just wonderful. Explained the menu in depth and was clearly excited to share the food experience at Tanta. Nice physical space. A tad loud. Food was excellent. Portions are large. Would recommend and also would go back.
