Tapas Valencia

From Zagat: http://goo.gl/RfePp The “amazing variety” of “flavorful”, “well-prepared” tapas “encourages sampling” at this “solid” Naperville and South Loop duo tended by “cordial” servers, most agree they’re still a “go-to” for “parties and events or just a romantic dinner.”

Friendly staff ,we were seated promptly even though we were early for our reservation.It's very spacious which is a plus for big parties.Favorite tapa was championes,they tasted like a pizza !

michelle jimenez

Bacon wrapped dates were good. Chicken with potatoes were good as well . Good to come here to eat light and drink. Tapas are really small portions. Hardly enough to share. Good for dates !

Samantha Rangel

They booted the $2 section of the happy hour menu but for $3 you can still get great portions and flavor. On Thursdays, mojitos , margs , & vodka martinis are $5. This place is fantastic for after work.

Regan Azizi

Great tapas with a extensive menu and lively evening atmosphere. Tables have a comfortable amount of space between them. Diverse crowd and great service.

ISC Chicago

Very affordable if going with a group: get a variety of small plates while waiting for the paellas ! And don't forget the Sangria pitchers !

Gray

One of the few places with VEGETARIAN paella . I live in Lincoln park but it was worth the drive. Will be going back very soon. Also very good prices for awesome food

Karen Williams

I encourage you to explore the menu- the food is very authentic to Spain and the sangria is traditional to Spain

Teri Pytel

Can't say enough good things about this excellent restaurant . Barcelona -quality. A+ service. A must come back to place. Tasting menu-yes!

ISC Chicago

The restaurant offers a prix fixe Taste of Spain Sunday brunch at $35 pp that features two cold tapas , two hot tapas , three entrees, and two desserts .

Paellas can take up to 45 minutes, so get that order in first as soon as you sit down. One of each if you ask me.

Maria Cortes

The bacon wrapped dates are amazing as is the crema catalana

Service industry discount Sunday thru Thursday - 30% off entire check from 4 - 6:30pm, and 8:30 - 10pm.

Delicious but not very authentic . Plenty of spicy options that are very good but Spanish cuisine is not spicy at all.
