The food lacked some flavor, being a Tapas restaurant was a bit disappointed compared to others we've visited. It's worth trying, but keep your expectations at a minimum! Service was great, sangrías were delicious, try the flight so you can try some of their flavors! Pomegranate and pear was best choice for us..

We came into Chicago for a few hours. Our kids were at a concert at Soldier Field. This restaurant was perfect, the food was outstanding, Joaquin, our server helped us navigate the awesome menu, the drinks were outstanding (Spice and Ice). The host welcomed us with a smile… atmosphere we good. Give this place a try, you’ll be impressed. We were treated like old friends.

We came for the happy hour and tried their entire happy hour menu and quickly realize it might not be their strong suit. You must order a drink each at the happy hour. Here are the items we tried:
- tostada de boquerones (not a favorite)
- tostada de jamon serrano (ok)
- tostada de paza (not a favorite)
- patatas bravas (ok)
- cazuela de arroz con azafran (not a favorite)
- datiles con tocino (ok)
- banderilla de salmon (dry, not a favorite)
- pollo con comino (dry not a favorite)
- champinones de logrobio (not a favorite)

What a great place for tapas! Really good menu of varied choices. I loved the goat cheese with red wine soaked pears in particular. Our server was super friendly and helpful.

My wife and I ate here on a Friday night at 8:00 pm. We did not have reservations, but they said they could seat us. We ended up at an awkward table where we could not sit across from each other. The wait or came over quickly and was almost too friendly it came off to me as insincere. We ordered two cocktails immediately and then a papaya. We then ordered 3 tapas dishes. The server twice came over and said your drink will be right here, but it took 25 min for 2 cocktails. As soon as he brought them, our tapas arrived. We had no time to enjoy our cocktails before food was on our table. The food was good, with the exception of one potatoe dish, which lacked seasoning. The atmosphere was not my favorite, but that's just my opinion. I am not sure if I would dine here again. Our bill was $93 without tip.

Great experience for a group! This was my first time trying Tapas and it was awesome! I would recommend each person ordering something they like, then having the entire table take a piece of each plate! Was nice! My favorite had to be either the steak or piaya! Drinks were also great, service was amazing! Very nice restaurant for a dinner out!

Our first time here and it did not disappoint! First they have complimentary valet! So don’t worry about trying to find parking! The service initially was somewhat slow but the server made up for it by giving some great recommendations; the pitcher of sangria, which was very good and they did not skimp on the wine! We ordered the chicken skewer, the steak skewer, the ham and cheese croquettes, their charcuterie plate as well as their Valenciana paella was delicious. This is a must go place and we will definitely be back.
