OMG! This place is brilliant. The flavors explode! Chef James Martin is incredibly talented and so very humble. Looking forward to his family meals on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Bocadillo Market is a truly special experience from the authentic Spanish food to the incredible service and atmosphere! The family style dinners provide a unique opportunity to share a beautiful meal and conversation with others while being immersed in Spanish culture. This restaurant has become one of my family’s favorite spots in the city. Come check them out!!

“We had an amazing eight-course, family-style dinner at Bocadillo Market.”

We had an amazing eight-course, family-style dinner at Bocadillo Market. The evening started with a cheese course that was a fantastic blend of Spanish flavors and set the tone for the meal. The seafood in the crudo and paella was incredibly fresh and perfectly seasoned. The patatas bravas were on point, with just the right crisp exterior and soft, fluffy interior. Dessert was a standout as well, the chocolate cake was rich without being overly sweet, beautifully balanced by the berry and pumpkin. Beyond the food, we loved the family-style dining experience, it created a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and we even made some new friends along the way. An unforgettable meal all around. Kudos to Chef James and his crew. We’ll definitely be back very soon.

“The Friday dinner was an incredible experience.”

The Friday dinner was an incredible experience. Not only do you get to enjoy the delicious food and warm hospitality, you get to share a table with strangers who end up feeling like friends by the end of the night. Truly an experience. I barely got any photos of the delicious plating but can’t wait to go again!

“Had their brunch today and felt transported to Spain.”

Had their brunch today and felt transported to Spain. I mean having a James Beard semi finalist cook for you is bomb but their bocadillos and lattes are out of this world. Can’t miss their famous Almond Pie or their eggplant croquettes. It was all too delicious for words and great vibe and service too! @chicagopescetarian

Terrific spot. Coffee, wine, sandwiches, baked goods… seasonal items add to the joy. I could likely come many times and have very different (excellent) experiences.

“This place is a gem in West Town.”

This place is a gem in West Town. The food was excellent, very high quality ingredients, and friendly service. Highly recommend the Tarta Santiago, Pan con Tomate, and Tortilla.

“I think the smoked lamb bocadillo is my new favorite sandwich in the city and more people need to...”

I think the smoked lamb bocadillo is my new favorite sandwich in the city and more people need to be talking about this place. The smoked lamb is tender, rich and saucy, and the sandwich has a perfect mix of herby (cilantro), acid (pickled green beans), and crunch (carrots). The sauce soaks into the bread but it still retains a really nice crunch. It’s absolutely worth the price, especially considering it came with patatas bravas (which itself was the best version of the dish I’ve ever had). I also had a slice of their pumpkin almond cake, which was also excellent Chef James was working the counter, and he introduced himself to everyone who walked in and was eager to strike up a conversation. He couldn’t have been nicer, and is definitely part of the reason I’ll be back real soon- hopefully for one of their upcoming dinners

“Loved Bocadillo Market.”

Loved Bocadillo Market! The food was amazing and the service was just as great. The atmosphere is super welcoming and cozy. James, the chef/owner, was awesome and made the experience even better. The tortilla de patatas sandwich was so good, and the macchiato was perfect.
