Comida deliciosa. They lie about the paella portions. What is 2 to 3 people is actually more like 4 to 5. Only complaint otherwise thr food is like home.

Came with a group of 5 and the total bill was $348. At that price point, the food should be excellent — unfortunately, it wasn’t.

Two of us ordered the beef tenderloin, and it was disappointing. The texture was chewy and rubbery, not what you expect from a premium cut, even though it was ordered medium-rare. Sides were average and nothing stood out.

To be fair, the service was not bad — staff was polite and attentive. Another downside is parking, which is very limited. Depending on the day, you’re basically stuck parking on the street, which is inconvenient.

Overall, the food quality didn’t match the price, and combined with the parking situation, it wasn’t a great experience. Wouldn’t rush back.

The suggested tip % is based on the post-tax total which is somewhat deceiving especially since you never see a breakdown of the bill unless you ask for a receipt. Everything else was good though.

Probably the best restaurant in the whole world. The Garcia family is as good as it gets. There is no where i love eating more. Anywhere with 30-40 year employees has to have it all figured out. One of the most unique wine lists in town.

We stumbled upon this place for a late lunch and found a gem! It's a little pricey, but the food is high end, well made and the portions are huge so you absolutely get what you pay for. Ashley was so accommodating and made great suggestions. The wine list is EXCELLENT and reasonable. The food is made with love, the ambiance is cozy, I couldn't ask for more. This is definitely the first of many more visits for us.

Great food, Great service, Great Atmosphere. It was our first time visiting and we asked Ashley for her recommendation. She recommended the Palomilla platter which I shared with my wife. The kitchen split the plate in half and gave us our own sides. The beef was well seasoned and cooked to perfection. The dish is served with white rice, black beans and a side of fried plantains. I ate a home cooked meal today.

Best Chinese food in the area.
Steamed chicken dumplings with fresh ginger in oil and the dumpling sauce, egg drop soup, and cold soft spring rolls are fabulous. Moved outside the 610 Loop in 2017 and haven't found Chinese food that matches Auntie Changs. Their lunch selections and family dinners are very reasonably priced with a great selection of options.

I think the price for the tapas is too high for the amount of food. The morcilla was only 5 small pcs, the tortilla was smaller than a slice of cake, the octupus about 1/2 cup… overall taste was ok. The place needs some remodeling (paint on the walls was peeling) I won’t come back.
