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 Chef Tito Rocha, 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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Tanta offers a vibrant dining experience with "amazing Peruvian cuisine" and a delightful "rooftop ambiance." The ceviche and empanadas are must-tries, while the "Pisco Sours are a favorite." Service is attentive, and the atmosphere is lively. Though prices are on the higher side, the quality of food makes it "worth every penny."

    Went to brunch with the girls. It was a great experience overall. The food was absolutely delicious. The only thing is the wait staff kept coming to our table repeatedly making it seem like they wanted us to leave, while we were the only ones at this restaurant. Other than that, it was great and it was amazing. Will definitely go back for dinner.

    Great Peruvian food but inattentive server. The fact that you cannot chose not to give a tip under 20% is pretty outrageous.

    I visit Tanta everytime I come to Chi-Town. Love the cuisine and vibe. The cebiche is so fresh, great w the yuca chips. Had the pulpo which was super tender and flavorful. Also the Nikkei and the mussels, which my wife loved. Service was great. Will hopefully return soon

    Our service member was very knowledgeable on the Peruvian cuisine and very helpful in choosing food items. She was attentive without being intrusive. The food was quite good, including the chicken and vegetarian empanadas and the quinoa plate. The Choco... dessert was world class!! We plan to return to this establishment.

    Love Tanta! My favorite Peruvian restaurant in Chicago. The empanadas are delicious, lomo saltado is a no brainer and the ceviche is delicious!!

    Empezando por lo positivo, el personal muy amable, nuestro mesero A1. Por otro lado, la comida no estuvo a la altura. No nos gustó el pulpo puesto qué estaba chicloso y tenía un sabor amargo, el plato llamado aeropuerto tenía poca carne, las yucas fritas estuvieron aceptables. 😏

    Tanta is my favorite place to bring a group. Excellent small plates and sharable mains. On this visit, our server provided superb advice and really helped us make good decisions. Flavored pisco sours were excellent. I wish it were a little quieter to make talking easier, but it's defiintely not as loud as some places in Chicagoland. Very high quality food overall.
