   John is an amazing Chef and the food is still incredible after 20 years. Elvia is an attentive server with great recommendations. Brought dear friends for a last hurrah, and we all can't wait to see what John does next!

   I have come here for many years and it is one of my favorite places. I am deeply sad that the restaurant is closing. The food is absolutely top-notch and so is the service. The staff is friendly, attentive and make sure you have the best experience! Thank you!

   Macarena Tapas Naperville was more than a restaurant; it was a beacon of culinary brilliance in the heart of Naperville, now etched in the memories of those fortunate to have experienced its magic. Its closure marks the end of an era, leaving behind a legacy of unforgettable flavors and moments. The menu, a celebration of Spanish cuisine, offered a journey through taste and tradition. Each dish, from the artfully spicy Patatas Bravas to the succulent Gambas al Ajillo, was a masterpiece, blending authenticity with innovation. Dining at Macarena was not just eating; it was an immersive cultural experience. The ambiance of Macarena Tapas mirrored the warmth of Spanish hospitality, creating a space where every visit felt like a festive gathering among friends. The décor, with its elegant nods to Spain, and the vibrant yet cozy atmosphere, made every meal a special occasion. But the true essence of Macarena lay in its people. The staff’s genuine warmth and exceptional service made diners feel not just welcomed, but cherished. This personal touch transformed great meals into memorable experiences, fostering a sense of community and belonging. As we bid farewell to Macarena Tapas Naperville, we hold tight to the memories of the joy and culinary delight it brought into our lives. The anticipation for the owner’s next venture is a testament to the indelible impact of Macarena. It wasn’t just a restaurant; it was a place where food was celebrated, and every meal was an adventure. Here's to the legacy of Macarena Tapas — a jewel in Naperville's culinary crown, whose spirit will continue to inspire. Thank you for the memories, the flavors, and the joy. Until we meet again in your next chapter.

   Always a wonderful meal. Have been going here since it opened and will miss when gone. Yes, prices have increased but the quality has not decreased. Begging to open new location.
