For two star Spanish, try Cafe Iberico in Chicago. Check out this popular and affordable place in the Streeterville area. Know before you go: this place features a singles scene. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice a casual atmosphere. This place features private rooms. This place is open late. People who have eaten here found the food bland.
Seems like every restaurant in town is doing "small plates" these days; credit should go to this tapas hangout, whose zesty menu and atmosphere make conventional dining seem absolutely ho-hum. Sangria flows...

Love this place. From the outside it looks like nothing! It's the best tapas restaurant in Chicago. Everything is excellent, especially the Sangria. The environment is upbeat on weekends and more laid…

A hidden gem for me. I've never had the experience of going to a Spanish style restaurant. I was definitely satisfied with my experience here. Food was all prepared well and tasted very different than…

Best tapas in the city, and extremely affordable for the area. I could eat 750 of their croquettas in one sitting. The only mistake I ever made there was eating blood sausage. This wasn't their fault.…

Sangria, croquetas, pata bravas oh my!! This is my all time favorite tapas place. Where else can you go with a group of 15 eat drink and be merry and only pay $30!! The only downfall is on weekends…

Once when talking about tapas to a friend, he said, "well, we prefer Cafe Iberico to Cafe Babareeba, as they are truly more authentic." And yes, I know that Iberico is a great place, but somehow it…

1 word: Sangria. Can't wait to get my hands on some more of that delicious sangria. Oh yeah, and there's the food, also tasty. Took my parents here for their first tapas experience, and they loved…

The first time I went here was with my sister who lived in Spain for a year. So, any tapas restaurants she likes has to be good. When I walked in I really felt like I was back in Andalusia- very…

I have been here many, many times including the worst date of my life that some of you may have read about. That night the server was actually my saving grace. That being said, I've been back, once…

Tapas is the name for a wide variety of appetizers in Spanish cuisine. These appetizers can be either served cold, hot or you can even order various versions of paella for a fuller meal. Some…

This place is a standard Chicago restaurant. Iberico is probably the restaurant I have been to the most in Chi-town. (Or, it is probably a close second to Piece.) Every time I go there, it is crowded.…

Such a fun place, I would go back again and again if I lived in Chicago. It's a great place to go whether you are with one other person or with a whole group. We went on a Tuesday night and got right…

The food is decent. Not fabulous, but okay. The queso de cabra is tasty, but that's hard to mess up. I also always like the croquetas de pollo. However, I'm giving it four starts for three…

Not that this place needs another review... 285, yeep. I came here for dinner a few weeks ago and had a very enjoyable experience. We found parking easy in the neighborhood, but this was a Monday…

I have a couple of friends who frequent this place as if they were part owners. I think that they are pretty consistent in regards to food, service tends to be mediocre sometimes. The sangria and…

Decent tapas, respectable prices, and big pitchers of sangria. Great place to bring a group of friends and have a little taste of everything on the menu. I've been here a handful of times now and…

Absolutely delicious every time. Really fresh tasting and great sangria. We love the octopus, the scallops, the goat cheese, the list is endless. The sangria is good as well. The only problem is…

Pretty decent. I wouldn't say that anything we ate blew me away, but it was still yummy nonetheless. I know it's supposed to be fabulous, but I'd like to try other tapas places to compare.

This place is so great for tapas. The food is delicious and always perfectly cooked. For hot tapas, the scallops are phenomenal and the chorizo is great. For cold ones, I love the olives here. But…
