     Chloe service was outstanding she explained what was Panamanian 🇵🇦 food on the menu . I choose the oxtails they were so tender and falling off the bone . We dined here in 2024 and seen that that had done some great renovations . Ask for Chloe if you plan on dining at Tantalo

    Unexpected treat. The food was off the charts. Ceviche, smoked tuna, and oxtails with peas and rice…omg. Good service and kitschy decor (look for the mural behind the bar)

    Dinner was great. We realized they didn’t offer their whole menu up on the rooftop so they quickly were able to make space for our group of 8 inside the restaurant. Dinner was fantastic. Thank you! Highly recommend!
