Emilio's Tapas - Hillside

Great service. Food could have been hotter temperature-wise.

The dish described as Pate wasn’t really Pate after-all, I would not order this again.

Small plates and paella; they do a great job. My partner loves the desert

The profiteroles were a hit for 4 who had never eaten them. All of the food was great and so was service.

Best Tapas restaurant in Chicagoland. I Love it
Good food, nice staff, and fast.
The only thing is, they should have sign in English for the bathrooms men and women.

Excellent service! Attentive! Would definitely recommend going there specially for a special occasion. They will sure make you feel special!!

Just the best! Accommodating service and delicious food!

Loved the free balloons and dessert for a birthday. And the tapas are consistently excellent.

THE FOOD HERE IS OUTSTANDING AND IT IS SUCH A FUN PLACE...WITH FLAMENCO DANCING, SINGING, AND AWESOME SANGRIA. WE WENT WITH SISTER AND BROTHER IN LAW AND HAD A VERY FESTIVE AND FUN TIME. LOVED EVERYTHING WE ATE AND IT WAS HARD NOT TO KEEP ORDERING MORE LITTLE PLATES. THOROUGHLY ENJOYABLE!

Wonderful food and staff. A gem in the near west suburbs. We do not go here enough and we are 5 minutes away.

Emilio's is always reliably good. There are a couple of dishes that we always order along with a couple of new ones. Good selection of Spanish wines.

Great time again at Emilio's. My wife and I have been coming here for 50 years. Always great food and great service!

Everything was All good!

We have been coming to Emilio's for many, many years and it is always a go to spot because of the wonderful food and ambiance. We have always been able to make a reservation without issue. We love to see Emilio come out to the tables to say hello. The wines are always fantastic and you can't beat the Sangria. There are always some delicious items on the "Specials" menu to choose from. Whether you pick your favorites or try something new, the food does not disappoint. And they always have wonderful desserts!!

We always enjoy eating at Emilio’s. I made reservations like always but we had a terrible table. By the entrance next to the bar. Other people were standing in back of us waiting to be seated. I would have understand to be seated at that table if we had not made reservations. We were told that we had to wait 45 minutes if wanted a different table. I hope it doesn’t happen again.

Delicious food, colorful decor, and friendly service.

Excellent service and tremendous food. Not a quite place but no better place to share plates with friends.

I took my partner here and she loved it.

Really a fun experience with business guests. We tried many tapas and finished with paella and desserts for all 8 people. Enjoyed the food and service. I will be back!

I love the food here.

Everything was so fresh and exceptional!

We love coming to this restaurant in fact we come here at least once or twice a month. We brought friends this time who had never been here. They really enjoyed it and of course WE will be returning as usual!

Emilio's was spectacular yet again. We had Caracoles, garlic potato salad, olives, pincho de pollo, datiles, and a lovely liver pate amuse bouche. Everything was AMAZING! Hats off to Chef Emilio! We had a lovely waitress, who was fantastic. SO nice and helpful. I wish I had gotten her name so I could mention her here. We were just there for dinner, but there was also a wine pairing dinner with music, and Flamenco dancing in the next room that looking really fun.

Emilios is very colorful and inviting family restaurant exciting menu, Colorful and family friendly great place to have a celebration like a birthday and anniversary. They make you feel like family.

Very enjoyable, service was excellent, food was very good, Tapas menu, and the overall experience was worth going back. The garlic potatoes were fantastic, sorry not to mention all the other good food, but make sure you order the garlic potato salad!

I have been to Emilio’s several times and they have definitely improved on their food quality. It was a Saturday night and they even live music. Definitely will return again

Having had amazing Tapas in Evanston at Tapas Barcelona, we went out of our way to meet friends at a Tapas place more convenient to them. But Yelp ratings must get inflated in the burbs--food was mediocre and way overpriced. I can't think of a single memorable dish. The cold potato salad (at favorite elsewhere) was ok here--too much garlic, though. Curried chicken salad had nice sized chunks of chicken...but not much flavor. Cheese plate had nice garnishments, but cheeses themselves just weren't all that interesting. I wouldn't go there again if it were next door, let alone 35 minutes away.

Always a wonderful experience. Our little ones 1st visit. He slept through the whole meal!

Another fabulous dinner at Emilio's!!! Had the most WONDERFUL shrimp and scallop ceviche - would have liked to take a quart home with me! Service by Martha as always, impeccable. Great way to celebrate Sweetest Day.

Emilio's is the place for adventurous eaters! The tapas small plates allow you to try various items with ingredients you might not expect. Everything is delicious, served at the right temperature, and quickly. You can order a few dishes at at time, allowing you to judge just how much more you want (or can) eat. Service is friendly and knowledgeable.

traditional authentic Spanish tapas - wish they had a few more items but overall great selection

We like to visit Emilio’s regularly. They never disappoint!

Emilio's is our go to place for special occasions. The food is always exceptional and the wait staff have always been so pleasant and helpful. I have to be gluten free and they always are happy to accommodate me. Some of our favorites are the garlic potato salad, bacon wrapped dates, pincho de solomillo and the delicia de chocolate. We order them every time. Thanks Emilios for another great meal.

Excelente servicio y comida deliciosa!!

My first visit to Emilio’s and it was a wonderful experience. Alfredo our waiter was great and the food and sangria was delicious. Will definitely come back.

First time, found was delicious and beautifully presented. Live music was very loud but they seated us in back which helped soften it a bit. Lively and fun atmosphere. Our server was super smiley and helpful in choosing what to order.

Excellent food, good wine. I am always amazed at the variety of the tapas they have

Still one our favorite spots!

Food was excellent and they were very helpful relative options for a vegan eater. Service was great and really like how Emilio circulated throughout the restaurant checking in on everyone!

The flavor of the tapas was great; the best I’ve had with my limited tapas experience. Wait staff patient and helpful in making selections. Not much food for the price, but the value contained in the flavors makes up for the modest quantity.
