Celebration

Flawless night. We indulged, imbibed, and enjoyed. There wasn't a single dish that I can speak into mediocrity. The only thing that seemed a little weird was having no "vessel"for the ceviche... We survived (maybe thrived). We're coming back. This is definitely a good spot for special occasions and good friends!

Tanta was incredible!! It was my first time having Peruvian food and now I'm obsessed. We had 6 people in our group so we ordered a lot of different dishes and we were able to try lots of things and it was all so amazing. The drinks were fantastic, the service was perfect, and the atmosphere was so great! A great spot for a date, to catch up with friends, or anything else!

You’re telling me I can learn how to make THIS in Chicago?! there’s a Peruvian cebiche and pisco sour class happening weekly. You get to prepare cebiche and mix your own pisco sour, every step is hands-on. If that isn’t enticing enough, you get to snack on dishes like anticuchos, arroz con mariscos, and wantacos nikkei. It was well worth the price! The hospitality alone was top tier!
