About this restaurant

Charming
Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions

In January 2020, Little Madrid Tapas Café opened in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood, a small, cozy, and colorful space. The restaurant transported guests back to Old Madrid with its warm atmosphere, delicious flavors, and enticing aromas that emanated from the kitchen. With a global pandemic raging around the world, Little Madrid Tapas Café remained a steady presence in the neighborhood and soon emerged as one of the best Spanish restaurants in Chicago.

Authentic Spanish tapas in Andersonville. Nice service and the food was really good. Maybe slightly more flavor expected on some of the dishes but nothing major to complain about. We were satisfied with our meal. Next time I want to try the paella. It looked good.

I love to see an independent restaurant thriving and this one was practically bursting with energy. Staff is warm and attentive. Room is very dark but they make up for that by bringing small lamps to each table for comfort and ambience. Menu is pricy for tapas, which to me takes away from enjoying more little places. We were a party of 2 seated at a small table which also makes it difficult to enjoy the small plate experience since dishes were served on large platters. The baked goat cheese was fantastic. Other dishes we chose were mostly good to average. The sangria was DELICIOUS! While I’m in no hurry to go back, I will return and try the croquettes because in my opinion, a tapas place better make great croquettes. Knowing what I know about the pace, I’m better prepared for my next visit.

Absolutely amazing. We came here for my birthday, and the whole experience was divine. A flavor explosion. Highly recommend the meatballs, jamon croquettes, boquerones, and the cheesecake. There was a live flamenco performance which rivaled the music and dance we saw in Spain a few weeks ago. It felt like we were back in Spain. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago. Highly recommend.
