@tantachicago, located in River North, focused on @tantachicago, located in River North, focused on regional Peruvian specialities but also includes dishes influenced by other cultures. My favorites were the classic ceviche and sweet corn empanadas. I recommend getting the ceviche trio so you can try them all. They host many events like their Mother’s Day buffet! Their seasonal rooftop is also awesome ☀️☀️#chicagorestaurants #rivernorthchicago #rivernorth #downtownchicago #chicagobrunch
