Best Spanish Restaurants in Bucktown / Wicker Park

My all time favorite spot to eat and entertain in Chicago! With so many choices Cafe Ba-ba-Reeba NEVER misses!!! Great food! Great vibe!!! 10 out of 10!!!

Beautiful restaurant with very good food and creative drinks. While the smash burger looks unassuming when placed in front of you the second you pick it up you know it's something special. It has some serious weight to it and it tastes really and I mean really good. My wife had the steak salad and loved it. The sangria was very good as well. Overall a great dinning experience.

Both the service and cuisine were amazing! We thought that we might just enjoy the sangria pitcher, but decided on some wine after, too—the recommendation was spot on and we definitely had the best time ever. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. It was so delicious that we even ordered some items to go. I can’t wait to enjoy them tomorrow. Thank you to everyone for making our night so special! While the food was perfect, the service really elevated our wonderful experience! Can’t wait to return.

What a gem! Asador Bastian totally knocked it out of the park. Our server, Yousef ( potentially spelling his name wrong), was fantastic - super friendly and really knew his stuff. His recommendations were perfect for our dinner. We started with their Tortilla Española, which was a great way to kick things off - light but packed with flavor. The arroz cremoso that came next was incredible - the flavors were spot on. But the real showstopper was the Akaushi beef, cooked exactly how we wanted it, paired with these amazing bone marrow potato purée that I'm still thinking about. We wrapped up with a delicious cheesecake that hit all the right notes. The whole experience, from walking in to walking out, was just perfect. Can't wait to come back and try more dishes! If you're thinking about going - just do it. You won't regret it!

Mama Delia in Chicago is a fantastic Spanish restaurant that truly captures a fresh take on Spanish food with the essence of traditional cuisine. From the moment you walk in, the vibrant decor and warm ambiance make you feel right at home. The menu is filled with delectable options, and every dish I tried was bursting with authentic flavors. While the paella was a highlight—rich, aromatic, and filling... The Matrimonio paired with a beautiful Albarino really wowed us! The service was attentive and friendly, with staff eager to offer recommendations and ensure a wonderful dining experience. Whether you’re a fan of Spanish cuisine or just looking to try something new, Mama Delia is a must-visit. It’s a delightful spot for a casual meal or a special occasion!
