My parents always love coming here for dinner whenever they are in town. We are huge fans of the bacon-wrapped dates and my mom always saves room for the tarrina de chocolate. Our dishes always look like the photos on display on the online menu and they taste even better. The addition of listing gluten-free dishes is greatly appreciated since my husband has Celiac. Thanks for making my mom's birthday dinner perfect!

The food, services, and ambience was good but expensive. $190.00 for three people was a bit much

It had been a while since we had been at Tapas Barcelona and we were delighted that it was as good as ever. Our two musts are a bowl if olives and the bacon-wrapped dates. Otherwise you could pick tapas at random and have a delightful meal. Wines quite nice and moderately priced.

My party of five, arriving in Evanston from three different cities, had an enjoyable evening. The food was delicious, the menu offered great variety, and the service was top notch. We ordered a diverse selection of dishes, some of which were recommended by our waiter, and there was really something for each person at our table to enjoy. A great experience!
