Tapas Barcelona

Located on Chicago Avenue in downtown Evanston, Tapas Barcelona has been a local favorite for Spanish small plates since 1995. The restaurant offers an inviting, casual atmosphere perfect for a relaxed dinner with friends, family gatherings, date nights, or more lively group occasions. The menu highlights classic Spanish tapas — both hot and cold — designed to be shared. Diners can enjoy a wide range of flavorful dishes, from grilled seafood and traditional favorites like gambas al ajillo (garlic shrimp) to crowd-pleasers such as bacon-wrapped dates and baked goat cheese in tomato sauce. There are also vegetarian options and more substantial entrées like paella and pizza, making it appealing to a broad range of tastes.
