Deni PDecember 7, 2014Friendly staff,we were seated promptly even though we were early for our reservation.It's very spacious which is a plus for big parties.Favorite tapa was championes,they tasted like a pizza!
michelle jimenezNovember 13, 2015Bacon wrapped dates were good. Chicken with potatoes were good as well. Good to come here to eat light and drink. Tapas are really small portions. Hardly enough to share. Good for dates!
Samantha RangelJanuary 30, 2015They booted the $2 section of the happy hour menu but for $3 you can still get great portions and flavor. On Thursdays, mojitos, margs, & vodka martinis are $5. This place is fantastic for after work.
Great tapas with a extensive menu and lively evening atmosphere. Tables have a comfortable amount of space between them. Diverse crowd and great service.
Very affordable if going with a group: get a variety of small plates while waiting for the paellas! And don't forget the Sangria pitchers!
I encourage you to explore the menu- the food is very authentic to Spain and the sangria is traditional to Spain
GrayJune 10, 2012One of the few places with VEGETARIAN paella. I live in Lincoln park but it was worth the drive. Will be going back very soon. Also very good prices for awesome food
Teri PytelAugust 31, 2013Can't say enough good things about this excellent restaurant. Barcelona -quality. A+ service. A must come back to place. Tasting menu-yes!- The restaurant offers a prix fixe Taste of Spain Sunday brunch at $35 pp that features two cold tapas, two hot tapas, three entrees, and two desserts.
- Paellas can take up to 45 minutes, so get that order in first as soon as you sit down. One of each if you ask me.
Mike WilderOctober 23, 2015Service industry discount Sunday thru Thursday - 30% off entire check from 4 - 6:30pm, and 8:30 - 10pm.
Jillian BurnickasApril 11, 2015Delicious but not very authentic. Plenty of spicy options that are very good but Spanish cuisine is not spicy at all.
- So much fun going with a large group and ordering to share
Roosevelt CollectionJanuary 10, 2012Get the bacon wrapped dates and wash it down with your choice of pomegranate or peach sangria!! Both are spectacular!
Try anything! I live across the street and stopped in for the first time today. This place is absolutely amazing, the gem of the south loop!
Jessica ArandaSeptember 4, 2011The Empanada de Buey is amazing! (Puff pastry filled w beef tenderloin) Definitely ordering this next time I come!
Le-Lieu PhamJune 15, 2012Ask for Ozzy the waiter. He's really friendly and helpful if you can't decide what to order.
Jon GarinnJune 5, 2011Great food, terrific service. At our request, they seated us near an electric outlet so we could recharge. How accommodating!
Manoj AmbalavananJune 27, 2020The goat cheese spread and lamb was very good - some of the others were meh.
I highly recommend the Pomegranate Martini, skirt steak w/ bleu cheese and the stuffed mushroom caps.
Crain's Chicago BusinessMay 10, 2010Here you'll find 44 hot and cold tapas, several paellas and a selection of hot and cold entrees, salads and soups. Read more
Elizabeth WhittingtonJune 5, 2011Katie is wonderful. Food is fabulous, great recommendations on food and wine.
Nicole CatalanoApril 17, 2010For cocktails get the Sangratini or the champagne (cava) sangria. Bacon wrapped dates are amazing!
Lindsay ReedDecember 14, 2011I loved the salmon with goat cheese...its been a whole day and its still on my mind lol
Stephanie BrownApril 4, 2015Be prepared for a long wait for a mediocre meal when ordering the paella.
Framos 242July 22, 2010Not the best tapas but worth your taste buds. Drinks are mixed well. Service is very good and patient.
Gotta try the Sangriatini...perfect drink with the $2 Tapas Plates for Happy Hour!!

The “amazing variety” of “flavorful”, “well-prepared” tapas “encourages sampling” at this “solid” Naperville and South Loop duo tended by “cordial” servers, most agree they’re still a “go-to” for “parties and events or just a romantic dinner.”
