My whole family and I LOVE this restaurant! This is the BEST Spanish Restaurant we have tried. On Saturday's they have music. Great view and the staff is ALWAYS soooo upbeat! I personally appreciate HAPPY people, DELICIOUS food and GREAT Music. I reccomend this place to EVERYONE that loves Spanish food. On this visit we celebrate my daughter's Birthday after an AWESOME long Nutcracker Ballet Show. Our server made my daughter's Day so special. I will ALWAYS keep coming back. I LOVE, LOVE this place!
This place probably been popular ever since it opened.
I get that satisfaction feeling every time I go to Cafe Iberico. This restaurant always has outstanding food, consistency, great service, fast and a meal and drinks here always reasonable price.
This place was a delight. The food was excellent, bountiful, and reasonably priced. I think we went through about three pitchers of sangria. It was a fun place to take our niece so she could try lots of things she hadn't before. Vegetarian-friendliness: pretty dang good.
Simply delicious food! A friend of mine introduce me to this restaurant and ever since it has been one of my favorite restaurants in the country. The food is amazing and the price is reasonable. I love their hot tapas. My favorite is the spicy potatoes and the mussels. For dessert have the banana with caramel. Absolutely delicious!
This place came highly recommended by Spanish natives. I also loved the authenticity of the finest selection of tasty tapas. Certain dishes are seasonal, like this was not gazpacho time but rather cold chestnut soup. There were no bocarones either, but what we did taste was exquisite.
Best ever for me was the pulpo with homemade fries. This octopus was perfectly grilled, sliced and super tender. The patatas bravas were smooth, well seasoned and lightly spicy. The croquettas were made with chicken instead of ham but equally satisfying. The albondigas (lamb meatballs) were just incredible, tender, full of flavor and complemented with juicy wild mushrooms in a risotto type rice. Gambas al aljillo had well seasoned garlicky olive oil. The creamy rich flan closed us out.
Portions were generous, service attentive.
First time in Spanish restaurant and it was a hit. We've ordered seafood salad and it was full of flavours. I read many recommendations about the grilled octopus with fries so I've tried it, it was a great dish not to be missed. The octopus was grilled to perfection with minimum spices to show its own flavour and tenderness. Lastly, the seafood paella, which takes up to an hour to be served. it was delicious and you can taste the saffron and the seafood but missing the socarrat, which is the crust in the bottom of the pan, it was a bit soggy to my taste.
Overall, I would go back for the grilled octopus for sure.
Outstanding food. I highly recommend eating there. I think this is where the locals go to get good grub. Great portions reasonably priced.
The rivalry of spanish tapas is always argued to be babareeba vs iberico, but it isn't even a rivalry. This is the best tapas place in Chicago hands down. The food and ambiance is always on point. You can't go wrong with the patatas bravas and the bacon wrapped dates.
Really good sangria and bisque soups. Paella 🥘 is pretty good, not the best I've had & it could of had a bit more shrimp, but decent.
I've been enjoying the tapas at Iberico for 20 years. Still delicious! I've always thought that the sangria could use more variety of fruit.
