Ahh, I love me some Cafe Babareeba! Yes, I know it's not considered "authentic tapas", but whatever it is they serve, it's damn good for this girl! I've been coming here for about almost 20 years…

I like- don't love, but really like Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba. It's a great place to go meet friends after work, to have a few glasses of delish fruity Sangria or a fun place to bring out-of-towners. If I'm…

Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba was pretty good! I decided to go with the tapas while my bf got the pork tenderloin. I ordered the grilled squid, salmon with couscous, grilled chicken w/ chorizo, and goat cheese…

This is my go-to place for tapas in Chicago. Reservations are highly recommended considering how delicious this place is. I honestly crave the goat cheese toast points and their jalapeno shrimp. They…

Upon receiving the first of my Fisher Price My First Portions (TM), I was expecting that I was going to be spending $75 to get halfway full. Luckily, that was not the case. Ultimately, I thought the…

Overrated and too expensive. I'd recommend Iberico or People Cafe. Food is generally good, but drinks are too expensive and not strong enough, and you always have a ridiculously long wait. The…

At first I wasn't sure I wanted to come here because it only has a collective 3 and a half stars here and I put a lot of trust in what Yelp has to say. But someone in my party of four had heard from a…

My opinion of this place might be a bit skewed because the night we came here, my fiance was stuck in traffic on his way home from work so I found myself stuck in the Ba-ba-reeba bar tossing back…

I love this place! I've tried different tapas in the city and Ba-Ba-Reeba is still the best. I was expecting Iberico to be just as good (from all the hype) but it was a total letdown. My favorites…

Not as good as Cafe Iberico but closer to me and I always enjoy it. It has the reputation of being touristy, but I dont really care if the food is good, and it is. We love the garlic shrimp, the…

This place is average. Cafe Iberico on LaSalle is better.I do feel they use too much oil and/or butter on all of their dishes. What is a show-stopper for me, regardless of the food, is the…

This place is an absolute madhouse on the weekends so prepare to wait at the bar for 1-2 hours for a seat. It is well worth it though to hang in the bar despite the fact that you may crammed closer to…
