Maybe you’ve eaten Peruvian cuisine before, but have you really ever experienced it? Tanta Chicago wants you to fully immerse yourself in the flavors and textures of authentic Peruvian food, and has the classic dishes and elevated drink offerings for you to truly taste the country’s unique fare. 

The menu starts with a handy index of terms you should know about and then dives right into ceviche, causitas, and anticuchos. For a real adventure, order from the "experiencia" menu for six expertly prepared dishes portioned for two. That way you won’t have to decide between juicy lomo saltado and crisp pescado frito, or land on just one small plate to sample. No matter which route you go, everything tastes better with a cold, frothy Pisco Sour in hand. 

Find Tanta Chicago on West Grand Avenue in the River North neighborhood. Rooftop terrace, indoor dining, and weekend brunch are all available, and reservations go live several days in advance. Check the website to hold your spot, or to preview the menu.
