The Scene – Seems like every restaurant in town is doing "small plates" these days; credit should go to this tapas hangout, whose zesty menu and atmosphere make conventional dining seem absolutely ho-hum. Sangria flows like water, bodies pack the bar, and voices rise to be heard in the convivial 400-seat restaurant, which has the comfortable, open feel of a Spanish villa. Crowds of Euro-folk line out the door on weekends, but servers stay pleasantly cool and collected. – – The Food – Be sure to try the cold tapas (tangy Spanish olives, tuna cannelloni), but focus on…

AWFUL SERVICE

by briannalynn at Citysearch

So I'm giving this place 3 stars. Some of the food we got was pretty good. The COLD avocado soap was nasty! The service was just plain awful! I don't know if they were short staffed or what, but finally my boyfriend had to go refill his own glass of water. It was unreal! I wouldn't go back

  • Pros: interesting things on menu
  • Cons: Way to LOUD

Excellent Food and Service

by socialbunny at Citysearch

I've tried a few other tapa places and they never measured up to Iberico's.

There food is great and the sangria is soooooooooo good. :-)

I can't say I've ever had a bad experience. And there is always a wait but well worth it. Try the gambas de ajo yum!

Dont go anywhere else or try another place. This is it people. lol

Chicago's best TAPAS.

by idigtolstoy at Citysearch

Queso de cabra is so good we usually order 2 orders for 4 plus. Theres a garlic and olive oil shrimp you must try. The sangria is delicious go for white if you dig a sweeter taste. I prefer the red. The seafod paella's make my pants dance and OMG tell them to give you the birthday cake. I dunno what it is bu damn is that delicious. The staff is usually busy so try to order everything at once and dont be one of those annoying jerks that needs something else every 5 minutes and you will enjoy. But it takes forever to get seated but so what? How easy is to get food that has the authenticity you find on a spanish isle. Olive oil is antioxidant and helps protect cells from the mutations that cause cancer...if that helps ease the thought of waiting. : / Me likey.

  • Pros: Authentic Spanish Cuisine
  • Cons: slooow seating, super loud and over worked wait stuff unable to provide lots of attention. But cool ,I still go!
