Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba - Chicago

It took a bit to seat us but it was awesome experience. Heavily recommend the fried chicken thighs—they were delish.

The atmosphere is always welcoming. It's a great place for a birthday meal with friends, brunch, or taking your mom out for lunch. The food can add up quickly, but it's worth it. We weren't disappointed with any of the dishes we got. Highly recommend the empanadas with sundried tomato aioli

Great Experience, gotta see it for yourself. Don't miss out, make a reservation 24 hours in advance.

The perfect spot to bring a large group and/or to celebrate any special occasion! I came here with a group of 8 to celebrate my friend’s birthday, and honestly, everything— the food, the service, the ambience and vibes— exceeded my expectations. The service was excellent, friendly, and attentive, and our server brought out a complimentary birthday brownie for my friend at the end. The interior was large and lively, and the ambience felt casual and friendly, yet sophisticated. The food was aromatic, diverse, and flavorful. For 8 people, we ordered the following items, and were quite full and satisfied by the end especially after the paella) especially recommend): Spanish Meatballs “Al Jerez” Shaved Brussel Sprouts Salad Iberico Ham Croquetas Spinach and Manchebo Stuffed Mushrooms Patatas Bravas Piri piri fried chicken thighs Goat cheese baked in tomato sauce Farmers market vegetable paella The food was fairly priced, though we did go mainly vegetarian, so the total including tip came out to just $16 per person, split amongst 8. I can definitely see myself coming back with a large group of friends to try out some more of the tapas dishes on the menu! — Price relative to peers): 4.5/5 Food: 4.5/5 Ambience: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Overall Value: 4.5/5

When I first came to Chicago, 7 years ago, this was the place my parents took me to. I can say with confidence, that it's just as amazing now, as it was then!
