Love this place! Horacio (server) was polite, talkative, and helpful. Garlic dishes had a wee bit too much garlic for our liking. Mango and passion fruit sangria was flavorful. We’ve dined here for at least 8-10 years (soon after they opened) and often recommend it. Will definitely be back.

What a great place! The food was absolutely fresh and delicious! The chicken croquettes were creamy crunch deliciousness! A wonderful bottle of Spanish wine at the perfect price point -the perfect match for our tapas meal. The service was spot on-providing detailed explanation of preparations along with pleasant conversation. This place is a must visit!

This is not our first, and we love showing this restaurant to friends who haven’t seen it. It was great, though the octopus could’ve been cooked longer. The server was helpful but the restaurant is crowded. I don’t mean with people — I mean too many tables show too close together.

New Year’s Eve celebration and once again Macarena delivers great food and great service. Highlights of the food were the chacopa- New York strip steak done Milanese style with jamon and rede pepper. Truly wonderful - crispy and tender and full of flavor. The bombas are also top notch. Service is always efficient and friendly. This remains my favorite restaurant in naperville for many reasons. Highly recommended.

Food was good. Seated by front windows which were cold. Disappointed no kids meals. Pasta w butter, grilled cheese etc would be enough. All the tapas restaurants in gothic district in Barcelona had cheese pizza surprisingly. Mason sabika has basic kids meals. Something to consider to increase your clientele

The service here is so personal. The staff guides you through the amazing items on the menu so you get a wonderful variety. There was a brand new flank steak option that was absolutely delicious. Drinks were great. At the end of the meal, my nephew was presented with a delectable Basque cheesecake for his birthday. We will surely be back soon.

My first time here. I went with a friend who had been here many times. All of the staff were very friendly and took time to explain the different plates and just have friendly conversation with us. We tried 4 different tapas, two cold and two hot. Started with the beet salad. I generally don't eat beets but this salad made me a huge fan. Next was the riced cauliflower and garlic salad. It was delicious. For hot tapas we had the baked goat cheese drizzle with mango infused honey. This was almost a dessert. As were the fried plantains. We couldn't finish those but I unfortunately left the to go box on the table. And to top it off we chose to go on Thursday which meant we enjoyed 1/2 price sangria. We both had red which I highly recommend. Definitely going back.
