A polished, high-energy Peruvian spot with standout ceviche, cocktails, and rooftop appeal, but the bill can climb fast and consistency is uneven enough that it’s not a safe blind bet.
Why this grade
Tanta Cocina Peruana delivers solid A-grade performance through exceptional food quality highlighted by celebrated ceviches, tiraditos, and creative fusion plates, paired with outstanding rooftop setting and polished presentation. However, inconsistent execution on certain mains and tasting menus prevents grade A territory, while pricing and portion concerns are genuine drawbacks that temper the overall value proposition for most diners.
One caveat: Several diners feel the pricing is steep for the portion size, especially on mains and share plates
