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.

    Little Madrid Tapas cafe is a must go-to for the best tapas in Chicago! I grew up in the Andersonville neighborhood and have been going to Little Madrid for roughly four years now. Although I’m Cuban-American, my family is of Spanish descent so it’s nice to experience the Spanish culture through food and music. Every time I go I am pleasantly surprised at how right at home I feel. Some of my favorites are the calamari, patatas bravas, albondigas and queso de cabra. The salmorejo soup and paella are exquisite and out of this world! Chef’s kiss one hundred times over. Do not snooze on Little Madrid Tapas Cafe, you’ll only be sorry if you do!

    Everything about Little Madrid Tapas Cafe was perfect. Having spent many years in Spain, this place is the real deal. They have a fabulous selection of wine and a wide array of traditional tapas and pintxos from anchovies and croquetas to morcilla and queso de cabra. The service was perhaps my favorite part. Our waiter went above and beyond for us and our requests and was very attentive to our needs and experience while also giving us plenty of space to catch up without too many interruptions. This is a gem of a cafe that can serve as both a great date night spot or a place for a casual happy hour with friends or colleagues.
