Located in Chicago’s South loop, we offer creative Spanish tapas, unique cocktails, and a lively atmosphere with walls adorned in multi-colored mosaic artwork reminiscent of the art of the great Spanish artists Joan Miro and Antoni Gaudí!

Guests rave about the "sumptuous" tapas, excellent vegetarian options, and creative daily specials. The "beautiful atmosphere" and "welcoming staff" enhance the ambiance.

    We read many 5 star reviews on Open Table after a day at the Chicago Art Institute and visit to the Bean. We made our dinner reservations based purely on the 5 star ratings and the ratings were spot on and well deserved! Dinner was amazing! We tried quite a few selections of scallops, salmon, lamb, and chorizos. All arrived to our table hot and sumptuous. Couldn't have asked for a better final meal for our visit to Chicago. Don't hesitate or miss out on this experience ... book your reservation to Tapas Valencia. If you love tapas, you will not regret it.

    We wanted to sample some authentic Spanish dishes, particularly tapas, during our stay in Chicago. This restaurant absolutely delivered! Their cocktails are fun and perfectly crafted, and each of the plates (we had more than 10 for a group of 4) was like a taste of Spain! Really do try to get over to this sun-filled sanctuary of yummy bites -- you will have a lovely time guaranteed.

    From the minute we walked in the door for Sunday brunch, we knew this place was special. Jordan, the manager, greeted us and took my keys to valet my car (complimentary). The food was outstanding. We had the grilled calamari, goat cheese with tomato basil sauce, poached eggs with chorizo and potatoes, and meatballs. Not a ton of brunch choices, but what we did have was delicious. The music was delightful and the design of the place is artistic (mosaic mural) and inspired. Lots of Art without the cheesy pictures of landscapes. We will be back!
