"Signature cocktails include Chicha Punch, with tequila blanco, apricot, hibiscus, chicha morada, and red wine, and the El Chingon, a savory sipper of jalapeño-infused tequila, mezcal, and cilantro salt over a chili-infused ice sphere. Visit during early evening Monday through Friday, when happy hour features $10 select cocktails and small plates starting at $7, including cebiches, anticuchos, and empanadas." - Nicole Schnitzler
"Tanta is always a great restaurant, but it’s best in the summer when you can hang out at the rooftop bar. Not only can you eat tasty Peruvian food like cebiches and skewers, but you can also avoid the typical outdoor dining situation in River North—i.e., sitting on a sidewalk while trying to ignore the garbage trucks going by. This place is perfect for a weekend date, or a nicer dinner during the week." - adrian kane, veda kilaru

"When: Mon-Fri 5-7pm Only At The Bar The Deal: $6 Beer, $10 Cocktails and Wine, $7-$16 Snacks Tanta in River North is an appealing alternative for when you just can’t with your coworker and their "beer and a slider" choice for the fourth happy hour in a row. It’s always a fun spot for dinner (thanks to clubby lighting and a pop playlist), but Tanta is also great for pisco-based drinks and Peruvian snacks like cebiches and empanadas. And since the deals run until 7pm, you can still enjoy a pisco sour and anticucho even if you got stuck on a 4:30pm call that could have been an email." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
"The large Peruvian menu at Tanta has sections devoted to ceviche and skewers as well as main dishes like the pollo a la brasa. Everything is great, so the best strategy is to come with a group so you can try as much food as possible. This place is perfect for a weekend date, a nice dinner during the week, and during the summer when you can eat on their fantastic rooftop." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
