Excellent choice Good food

Our experiences with Little Madrid have been deliciously wonderful We had tapas and pintxos. The grilled octopus was delicious as the tortilla and dates with cheese wrapped with bacon. We only wished we had more people with us so we could've tried more Highly recommend if you want to try traditional Spanish dishes in an accessible and easy environment Don't miss this place!

Chicago’s hidden gem! This dining experience is truly unlike any other in Chicago. Francisco was an amazing host along with his staff! He led our table through his authentic Spanish crafted menu making our experience so personal.No dish was left unfinished and we continued to order dishes we saw being served to other guests! Truly irresistible atmosphere and menu!! Bravo Little Madrid!!

Both experiences with Little Madrid have been deliciously wonderful. Our first time here we used the take-out option, which was super convenient. The food was all packaged hot, fresh, and to order by my arrival, so carrying it all out to the car was easy and fast. Tonight we dined in, and enjoyed the low lighted, authentically Spanish tradition of tapas around wine and food. Our waitress was accommodating and attentive, and the food was excellent. Highly recommend if you want to try traditional Spanish dishes in an accessible and easy environment.

It was literally like being back in Madrid! The food is wonderful -especially the patatas bravas- but I also loved the croquetas ,the Corte ,is a flashback to authentic tapas madrileñas. The ambiance and the staff are as good as the food. So take a short vacation to Spain without the jet lag.

We had dinner here and my favorite dish was the grilled octopus. Shrimp was very good too. Sangria was delicious. The best part of this place is the ambience. Our waitress was fantastic and she cut meat in front of us and served it complimentary. This is small and intimate. Francisco is very warm and welcoming. I loved how they spoke Spanish. Will return.

I cannot recommend Little Madrid enough — it is very reasonably priced for the portions you get and the food is the most authentic Spanish food that i’ve had in the US. Asunción on the wait staff is very friendly and likes to speak spanish with you. I can’t wait to go back!

Small place in Andersonville run by couple of Spanish people. It was right when they open so it was not crowded, the food was really good, the Shrimp, octopus and the ccrowuets where really good and tasty, the sangria was just as it supposed to be, sweet, fruity and cold. one of best places for Spanish food in Chicago.

I went to this location per chicago eater recommendation, now I would usually never take the time to leave a one star review but people deserve to know what they’re truly endeavoring into before dining into a restaurant and spending their hard earned money.. this place is truly deserving of the one star rating, why? You may ask.. well to begin the main reason of going to a restaurant is to eat correct? Despite the pretty atmosphere the food was literally terrible, the croquettes were cold in the middle, the blood sausage tasted old and was also cold, the queso de cabra tasted unauthentic and had balsamic? I can’t remember what the fourth dish was but believe me this place has a lot of hard work to do before they deserve a second star.. I can’t say anything positive besides the waitresses being sup bar nice. The sangria was also literally watery and just not worth it, I felt bad my boyfriend spent $83 plus tip here.. never again. Buyer beware.

Everything we ate was fantastic. The food was much better than other tapas restaurants I've been to in Chicago, and less expensive.Our server Asuncion was fantastic, very friendly and professional.The ambience is a bit quiet.I think this would be a great place to come with a group of 4 to 6 people who love good food.
