When in Buenos Aires, I have been eating the local food for a while, and I wondered, how's the Peruvian food here? I was walking down Esmeralda and stumbled upon this gem, of course none other by one of the most renowned chefs in Peruvian cuisine, Gaston Acurio. The ambiance was amazing, the service, the lomo saltado was perfect, the papa rellenas reminded me of my grandmothers, and the dessert was TO DIE FOR. Highly recommend this restaurant as a way to dive into Peruvian cuisine...you won't regret it. Also, bring cash to tip, they don't let you add tip to the total of your bill with a credit card. read more

Was excited to see this restaurant from Gaston Acurio when planning this BA trip as we are big fans of Peruvian food. We were able to walk in for a party of four ~7pm. The interior design is spacious and modern, with high ceilings and foliage in glass partitions. Service was also excellent--attentive and friendly. We ordered classic Peruvian dishes such as ceviche, aji de gallina, and tallarin saltado, as well as a risotto and a mango dessert. All of what we tasted was high quality and authentic, and portion sizes were quite reasonable as well. Definitely worth the trip if you are in Buenos Aires and in the mood for some flavorful Peruvian food in a lovely ambiance. read more

tanta was an incredible experience! everything we ordered was very delicious. the mushroom appetizer was creamy but not too heavy. the mushrooms were perfect and very fresh tasting! the ceviche was also amazing and light. the crunchy corn bits were a perfect pairing. the 3 entrees we got were all delicious, but the prawn risotto was my favorite. the lomo saltado is a classic peruvian dish and it was delectable as expected. the stir fried wok noodles were flavored with the same saltado seasoning so it tasted similar, but it was with the most amazing crispy chicken. the interior is very nice and cute. we waited for a bit at the bar but were seated in around 15 minutes with no reservation. the service is standard but note that not many servers spoke english. overall, the food was really incredible but i would say a tiny bit on the salty side. nevertheless, i would still definitely recommend tanta and i wish i could go back! this is a must-visit if you're in BA! read more

My brother was also traveling in the region at the same time so we decided to overlap for a few days in Buenos Aires. He suggested this place for dinner as he's had great meals at other restaurants by Gaston Acurio. And indeed, it was an excellent meal! The cocktails were excellent and everything we ordered was delicious. Highly recommended! read more

My husband and I went on a date here and we were so happy we did! We were able to be seated right away. The inside of the building is very tranquil and modern. The food came out very quickly and was delicious. We went last week and I've been thinking about it ever since! We are actually going to go back again tonight, it was THAT good. The waitress was extremely attentive and we had a wonderful experience here! read more

Beautiful classy room. Ceviche was gray. Felt food was good but expensive and over rated.

YUM for the seafood! Buenos Aires is heavy on the meat, lots of red meat everywhere. We were looking for something a little lighter and the seafood on the menu here is perfect. We started out with a few Aperol Spritz's, delicious. The shrimp risotto and ceviche were SO GOOD. The ceviche had a kick to it so not for anyone who doesn't like spicy. All really good! read more

Truly superb food. The best meal we had in Buenos Aires (and we had many very good ones). High quality Peruvian dishes. Generous portions. Marvelous, friendly, attentive service. We dined outdoors on a warm summer evening, so I don't know about the interior ambiance. We'd go back in a heartbeat. read more

Really delicious Peruvian food. The restaurant is casual but modern. Started with a shrimp causa. Its nice and flavorful. Topped with a what it tasted like a mayo/ketchup sauce. Not my kind of sauce but it was good. I the had the arroz tanta. Incredibly flavorful but a little dry. It had chicken, shrimp and chorizo. And then portion is really generous. You can never go wrong in a restauran by Gaston Acurio. read more

Wow what can I say, I found a gem in Argentina. I was in my hotel room looking for a full meal during my visit to Buenos Aires. I found my meal at Tanta Argentina by Garçon Acurio, which is a Peruvian restaurant. We sat outside which the weather was great. We strayed with an appetizer, Tequenos de Lomo Salteado, which where shredded beef in a spring roll. They were tender and delicious!! Our main entree was El Pollo de La Infancia, 1/2 chicken in its own juices, rice and peas and a rustic salad, OMG. The abundance of food flavor and originality was delicious. Chicken was covered in a gravy we couldn't get enough. The Rustic Salad was actually potato salad with Beets, unbelievable. The manager assisted us in placing our order as we did not speak Portuguese/Spanish thank God and he didn't stir us wrong. I found out they also have a restaurant in Chicago and Miami so if you can't get to Argentina check them out in the US. read more

Honestly, was one of the best prepared dinners I had in Buenos Aires, but the service was terrible. D-bag waiter with hoop nose ring tried to pay as little attention to us as possible. Table next to us sat down after us, was receiving there apps when waiter finally was taking our order. They didn't have ceviche (they were out); how does a Peruvian restaurant run out of ceviche?! That being said, the lomo saltado was one the best I've had, and there are a lot of Peruvian restaurants in LA. It equaled the best I've had in Lima. We also had the fish with lentils, surprisingly good. Table next to us ordered something that looked like egg rolls, so we just asked for the same thing, they had a meat filling that was great. We had finished our meal, bus boy had clearEd our table and we were planning on ordering desert. That's when waiter when into social mode with his boys... got to the point where I didn't mind trying to wave him down (I never do this in the U.S.). He seemed to look right at us, and just ignored us more. Food 4.5 Waiter (with hoop nose ring) 0.5 Busboy 4.0 Overall, 2.0, mush higher if you don't have to deal with hoop-nose guy read more

Went for lunch by myself and was told there weren't any available, there were plenty. I was sat st the bar, which meant a small counter attached to a dark grey wall and chipped glass top. This was located right next to the food preparation. I have never been at a worse seating. I cannot believe and Archetect could design something so horrible and the owner allow people to hit at such an inhospitable location. I ordered lomo saltado. The meat was very tender but lacked flavor. You cannot charge the tip to your credit card. Very disappointing. read more

Super helpful staff and amazing food. I had the tacos, breaded chicken and ceviche. All awesome

Overall, I'd highly recommend the place, though for me, I'd probably just stop in and get cocktails and a plate or two of something smaller to nibble on and then move on elsewhere for a meal, but that's not a reflection on the quality, more of one on the range of what's available (particularly the lack of seafood), and a preference for their appetizers over their main courses. Certainly, there's no one in the Microcentro area offering better Peruvian fare, in fact, I think the only other Peruvian restaurant in that part of town is Coya, which is good quality homestyle cooking. read more
