A menu for a table where everyone wants something different
Tanta presents itself as a chain serving Peruvian cooking, traditional and contemporary, born more than twenty years ago. What makes it useful for a traveller is the breadth of the menu: ceviches, criollo dishes (ají de gallina, tacu tacu, tallarines saltados, a “gran combinado” built around an arroz con pollo), causas, anticuchos, soups, salads, sánguches, a dessert menu and a breakfast menu. When a table brings together someone who wants raw fish, another who prefers a cooked dish and a child who wants something simple, it is a practical solution.
A few prices from the menu noted on 7 October 2026: a cebiche clásico at S/ 49, an ají de gallina or a tacu tacu norteño at S/ 39, a piqueo criollo to share at S/ 78 (tamalito verde, papa rellena, anticuchos, papa a la huancaína, fried cassava with ocopa and causa). In the morning, the menu offers a breakfast aguadito at S/ 32. The menu states that all prices include taxes and the service surcharge.
Which branch
Opening hours change from one address to another (consulted on 7 October 2026):
| Branch | Address | Published opening hours |
|---|---|---|
| Miraflores | Av. Vasco Núñez de Balboa 660 | From 8:00 to 23:30 |
| Larcomar | Malecón de la Reserva 610, Miraflores | From 9:00 to 23:00 |

The chain also publishes branches in San Borja (Rambla), Surco (Jockey Plaza, El Polo, Chacarilla) and San Miguel (Plaza San Miguel). The Salaverry branch is the closest to the Residencial San Felipe, in Jesús María. Give the driver the branch’s address, not just the name of the chain.
Who it is for
For a family, a group of friends or a couple who want to taste several dishes without getting lost among very specialised places. It is neither a huarique nor a chef’s restaurant: a dependable place, with long opening hours.

Our suggestion
A table for a group that does not want to choose a single type of cooking: one person has a ceviche, another a criollo dish, a third a soup, and you share a piqueo as a starter.
