Having moved to Chicago 5 years ago and loving what we had in Los Angeles with Las Quenas - Authentic Peruvian Cuisine, Tanta has filled our void, and then some. We love how elevated their food is at a similar price as Las Quenas. With this Five Star batting average these nice people will be seeing a lot of me and my wife (and friends). Keep it up Tanta!

The food was phenomenal, the service was super friendly, and the atmosphere was so inviting. They have the cutest decor. I started off with the trio empanadas taster. One was beef, one was chicken, and one was like a tomato paste. All of them were delicious. A great choice for starters. For my entree I got the Pan Con Chicharron, it was pretty tasty. The pork was nice and tender and I loved the sauce it came with. They also have the cutest cocktails. This is an excellent rooftop to grab food at on a beautiful sunny day. Will definitely be back!

It's Always Great to Know the Bartender!…read more I've been to Cabra many times, and the rooftop remains one of my favorite spots in the city. The views are incredible, the drinks are fantastic, and trust me, there are plenty of options in West Loop, but Cabra definitely stands out. On this particular visit, my homie Doan was bartending, and I was meeting up with a friend for a little catch-up. We grabbed seats at the bar, which I always recommend if you can. If you're planning to visit, I'd definitely suggest making a reservation because everyone wants to experience that rooftop view! For food, I ordered the Saltado Beef, which came with potatoes, vegetables, peppers, and Korean barbecue-style steak. It was absolutely delicious. My friend ordered the yucca fries, and we also shared both the beef and chicken empanadas. Everything was really good. And of course, shout-out to our amazing bartender, Doan, for making one of the best Old Fashioneds in the city! Overall, Cabra has everything you want: amazing ambiance, fantastic food, great service, excellent drinks, and one of the most beautiful views in Chicago. What more could you ask for? 5 out of 5 stars!

Let me start off by saying that the Tamales were not that good. They were out of this world good…read more I will go out on a limb and say they are the very best I've ever had. Prior to seeing this establishment on DDD I had no idea what Peruvian food was. Boy am I glad I found out. On the outside this is a very unassuming place in a rather rundown strip mall. But I was taught not to judge a book by its cover. When we went in there I think we were expecting something that would have been some cheap rubbery junk. Man were we surprised when we had a 5 star dinner in a 2 star atmosphere. I was hooked after that. I totally loved it and have been a semi regular since what I believe was 2015. We go here from Wheeling. The only improvement I can suggest is to open one in the Northern burns so you can have more of my money.

The Aji de Gallina (from the menu: "Chicken in walnut sauce. Served with potato, boiled egg and white rice") was incredibly good, although it didn't taste like walnuts to me. Doesn't matter, I'd get it again. Service was great, our server was very nice and attentive. We went at a random time so we were the only people there. Music was not loud or non-existent (thank you). Hoping to go back again soon!

This is where I will be going whenever I get a craving for Peruvian…read more Papa à la huancaina - one of my fav Peruvian dishes. Creamy yellow pepper sauce smothering a freshly boiled potato. Excellent. The pollo saltado - chicken stir fried with onions and tomatoes. The sauce poured over French fries, so they soak in all the juices. A side of white rice makes for the perfect side. Rotisserie chicken - this was the reason we came, and damn did it deliver. Incredibly moist and full of flavor. The green pepper sauce it comes with pairs perfectly. It's got a little subtle kick to it. The staff was great and super friendly. Food came out quick and was so fresh. Prices are super reasonable, and portions are large. The dining room is large and comfortable but no frills - the focus is on the food, as it should be.

Highly recommend! Pulpo gallego: I don't think I've ever had octopus with beans before but it surprisingly paired very well together. Love me a nice charred octopus and this one was delish. Cuban oxtail: I still dream about this unique pasta dish!!! Great flavor. Wish there were more agnolotti because I had a lot of oxtail meat leftover by the end of the meal. Lomo steak: Such a pretty delicious dish! 5/5 stars all around! Highly recommend to share. Guava cheescake: I LOVE anything guava. The cut and presentation of the dessert gets a 5/5 for me. The slice was as long as the plate! Great way to end the meal. Overall, everything was great - the service, food, vibes, etc. I would love to dine here again :)

I think it is a bit overpriced overall. The lomo saltado was my least favorite. Heavier on the soy sauce taste than typical lomo saltado. The guacamole needed a little more salt/flavor.

Coffee, tea (created in house) and hubby's dish (Plato Paiso) were all fantastic as well. Anxious to come back for lunch or dinner next time we are in town.
