Amy RobertsonDecember 30, 2014Traditional ceviche is so good you'll want to drink the juice (le leche de Tigre)
Grace AldridgeJanuary 11, 2018I love this place, but don't get the ramen. It was under-salted and really greasy/heavy.
Molly EJune 13, 2015I thought the cocktails were exceptional. Most of what we ordered was very good but the flavors were not particularly memorable. The pork fried rice was awesome though!
Time Out ChicagoDecember 20, 2013The criollo tiradito at Tanta is one of the 100 best things we ate this year. http://tmout.us/rLOtk Read more
Carol CecilAugust 9, 2015Try a Pisco Sour or a Lima Llama. The drinks are made with Pisco a liquor native to Peru.
- Nikei causitas are amazing. Don't forget the empanadas either.
Mohammad AlmunaikhJune 20, 2014I hope that you consider improving your reservation system... We booked a table at 7 pm ... And it's 7:50 pm now and we still haven't got a table....
Neal JainApril 25, 2022Decent food but really expensive. I haven't been out in a while so was surprised by the prices for the portions. The chicken was exceptional - ceviche and steak not so much.
Ernesto Ruiz-HuidobroAugust 12, 2016The desserts are awesome! The drinks are tasty but weak. The picarones are delicious. Overpriced and crowded.
See Stacy at the bar before you get your table, awesome!
ChristopherFebruary 15, 2014Overheard at dinner and from a friend before, the $23 pork fried rice is not worth it!
Kirstjen LorenzAugust 24, 2014I would say that this place is NOT child-friendly, nevertheless, we sat next to a table with THREE screaming children, a large very dirty stroller & parents who looked like they just ran a 5k. Ick.
Zachariah MuhlenkampFebruary 24, 2021Not great for the $. I could be persuaded to come back in summer for their rooftop.

"Everything was deli. But don't miss the mussels, ceviche, cod brandada and croquetas (although they are not 100% Spanish style). Nice and small restaurant. Great service"
