What a hidden gem. We love it here. The only reason not to give it 5 stars would be that it may be too hard to get into!

The staff is friendly and helpful. The selection of beers on their beer list was extensive, and the servers were extremely knowledgeable. My favorite items were the fish, the ceviche, and the homemade bread.

The waiter was super nice, explained the menu perfectly. The food was awesome too, the habanero breath was extra special, I went in thinking it was an odd mix between Mexican and Indian, left convinced this is one of the best combinations I’ve seen so far. Loved it!

This place is great! I try to find a reason to go every few months (after work drinks/dinner, date night, visitors, etc.). Their burger is excellent and I love their rotating, seasonal menu. My newest favorite are their tater tots.

I’ve been to Tanta plenty of times, and I originally heard about it through a pastry chef who worked there, Karla! Ivan (like always) took care of us, and I can honestly say he was incredibly attentive, caring, diligent, and professional. Absolutely no complaints! The food was amazing, the atmosphere was perfect, and the experience was nothing short of wonderful. We went on Friday at 5:30 PM and ended up staying well into the evening because we were having such a great time! I brought my clients here to celebrate a closing, and Ivan (and the entire kitchen team) went above and beyond to make the experience special. The churrasco and arroz de mariscos were definitely the highlights! I’ll absolutely continue coming back to Tanta. Highly recommend! 👏
