“It is quiet, not too too crazy busy.”
It is quiet, not too too crazy busy. The bread is good. Food is more sweet taste. The sauce covered the sea food flavor. The entree does not have lot of food but the presentation is nice.

Tapas Barcelona — the food is absolutely delicious with bold, vibrant flavors. I really loved the pasta sauce, and the ribeye was grilled to perfection. I paired it with Spanish beer, which made the whole meal feel super refreshing. The prices are reasonable, the food comes out quickly, and the service is great. I’ll definitely be going back!

“ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!”
ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! This used to be my favorite restaurant when I was in college 14 years ago and I still remember it being such a treat to eat here on a Friday evening. After nearly 15 years my husband and I were finally able to come back to Evanston and the food here was just as delicious as I remember! The baked goat cheese is one of my favorite dishes of all time and the sangria is fantastic! I wish we lived closer because this would definitely be my “go to spot”.

“We had a great time tried a number of things in the menu.”
We had a great time tried a number of things in the menu. The Aguacate con cangrejo and hojaldre catalan were some of our favorites. The platano caramelo y helado is a must have dessert.

“I finished three tapas and a glass of sangria, and I have been recommending to everyone who might be going to Evanston.”
I finished three tapas and a glass of sangria, and I have been recommending to everyone who might be going to Evanston. I’m definitely going again if I’m in the area. Grilled octopus and beef meatballs are must-haves. 2nd visit: As said before, I got the opportunity to come to the area again and I went to the restaurant for the second time. The grilled octopus hasn’t changed a tiny bit and I just LOVE it so much. Grilled baby lamb chops were cooked to the best texture. The dessert Bizcocho Borracho was amazing.

“From the bacon wrapped dates to the meat balls everything was outstanding.”
From the bacon wrapped dates to the meat balls everything was outstanding. The one that I thought was unbelievable was the Paella. It was so tasty that we finished the entire skillet. Highly recommend, I almost forgot the sangria in the best in town.

“Fabulous experience.”
Fabulous experience! Our table ordered the mussels, ribeye, coquettes of the day (mushroom & spinach), roasted seasonal veggies, and flan for dessert. Everything was truly spectacular. We loved the presentation of the mussels, so fun and unexpected! Fernando's service was also spectacular. Can't wait to come back.
