   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.

   Little Madrid NEVER disappoints, from the delicious and most authentic Spanish food (I have tried many Spanish food restaurants) in Chicago, to the ambience and the service, Little Madrid is always perfect. I will always go to Little Madrid and no other place for a true taste of my Spanish heritage.

   I just celebrated my birthday at Little Madrid Tapas Cafe last night and the flamenco show, the vibes and the food were spectacular! This restaurant always takes me back to Spain 🇪🇸 I hope they host flamenco shows often. Thank you for a great birthday celebration!

    I’ve been here before and enjoyed it. However this visit wasn’t as enjoyable. It was a Saturday night and it was really crowded with tables crammed together. I was bumped many times by waiters navigating the narrow aisles. There was a flamenco performance that was loud and the singing was not great. Unbeknownst to us, we had to pay a surcharge of $15, $7.50 per person, for the entertainment. Food was ok. Note also that their automatic selection of a tip calculates it including the entertainment charge and tax. Id go back, but not on a weekend.
