I like your question. It is a really common sentence in Spanish. It means "very very late", and most of the times is related with night and party (not always). For example:

Anoche salimos de fiesta y estuvimos bebiendo hasta las tantas

Last night we went out and we were drinking until very late at night

Great expression, Txusta :) I have never heard it used before, to my amazement considering how common you say it is! - FELIZ77, May 3, 2015
