Tanta is a big, lively Peruvian restaurant in River North, where the menu treats Peru's Chinese, Japanese, Italian, and Spanish influences like a family reunion that went well. That means pork fried rice crowned with a shrimp omelet, and nigiri topped with wagyu and a quail egg, so sushi and steak finally stop pretending they don't know each other. Happy hour pulls in regulars with $10 drinks and similarly gentle food prices.

Criollo nigiri
“For a bite that’ll prove most memorable, make it the criollo nigiri, a piece of sushi rice that’s topped with wagyu skirt steak, avocado mousse, and a quail egg.”
