Had dinner on a Saturday night. Crowd is very hip and the place is rocking. Food is great and not too expensive. We had lots to eat (small plates - tapas) and sangria for 4 for less than $120. Service is attentive, which is no small task for waiters, given how crowded and noisy place is on a weekend. Speaking... more

By far this is the place to go in Chicago for tapas. Be prepared to wait as they do not take reservations. Typically there is a 2 hour wait on the weekends. It is well worth it as the food is great and quite inexpensive. Also, they have the best sangaria in chicago! more

Second trip to Cafe Iberico. Like the sangria, but this time it could have used a little extra sugar. Sometimes its hard to get a table, but you can usually slip into a seat at the bar. We were seated in the basement, which was not as much fun as the main floor...a lot of people noise, but you can't... more

I've been to this restaurant several times and each time I've had a great meal. You can always count on there being a line up (30-40 min wait) Thurs - Sat but I have always been able to grab an empty table in the bar area after waiting 5-10 min. If that doesn't work they have another restaurant on the... more

The wine poached pears and ice cream was a... more

This is far and away one of my favorite restaurants in the country and I've traveled quite a bit domestically. If you're into tapas, you'll love it. If it's just the two of you or a large group, a great spot to have an inexpensive but tasty meal. Be warned, there are no reservations taken on the weekends but the... more
