A fantastic dining experience all around. You definitely would not expect that from what you see on the outside as it's in a non descript strip mall and appears to be out of place by how delightful the entire experience was. Our server was fantastic, and she made great suggestions. The food was amazing and I'm convinced there isn't a single mediocre item on the menu. I highly suggest you come check this place out if you are in driving range as you will not be disappointed.

Such great hospitality! All the dishes were great. Really enjoyed different taste of each dish with sangria. But the staff were the most impressive part of this restaurant. They were really friendly, cheerful, warm and professional. Great place with nice vibes!

This place was pretty good for the Chicago suburbs.
The decor was small and captured some parts of what it’s like to be in Spain.
We skipped the drinks and opted for a variety of tapas instead.
The favorites were the beef empanadas, the grilled squid, and the garlic mushrooms.
The other dishes were a mixture of boring and non traditional. I don’t think there should be jalapeños in the patatas bravas for example.
The octopus was not very tender. The pork tenderloin was tender but not very moist, no sauce whatsoever and the Moroccan spices didn’t come through well.
I appreciate that the staff gave us the pork tenderloins on the house because it took so long for it to get to our table relative to the other dishes.
It’s a good restaurant, but personally nothing was good enough for me to warrant a return visit though.

Service is impeccable from all the staff! The server was attentive and knowledgeable of the menu, giving good recommendations. The food is served beautifully. The three of us all had different favorites, but the dates really stand out. Highly recommended!

This restaurant has great specials through out the week. Tuesday's they have $5 tapas, I'm definitely coming back on a Tuesday! Wednesday and Thursday they have half of sangria. I really enjoyed their sangria, it was very light, fruity, and refreshing. It didn't taste like wine and syrup like other restaurants I've been to.
Personally I hate the concept of tapas (aka overpriced small portions) but if you are into tapas or get it every once in a while this is a great place to go. Or go on a discount day if you want to try more things and save money.
The service is good and the owner is very friendly.
My one complaint is that one time we weren't given bread but most other tables had it. I asked why we had no bread and they said you only get it if you request it. That is the stupidest thing I have heard. It just looked like bad service because they had forgotten to give us bread. How would someone know it's only on request? The last time I went there they gave me bread without asking so who knows what their policy is.
I love the potato salad and the beef empanadas. All the dishes I've ordered from here have been good.
I love that there is currently a Yelp coupon as well.
