So I'm giving this place 3 stars. Some of the food we got was pretty good. The COLD avocado soap was nasty! The service was just plain awful! I don't know if they were short staffed or what, but finally my boyfriend had to go refill his own glass of water. It was unreal! I wouldn't go back
Pros: interesting things on menu
Cons: Way to LOUD

I can't say I've ever had a bad experience. And there is always a wait but well worth it. Try the gambas de ajo yum!
Dont go anywhere else or try another place. This is it people. lol

Queso de cabra is so good we usually order 2 orders for 4 plus. Theres a garlic and olive oil shrimp you must try. The sangria is delicious go for white if you dig a sweeter taste. I prefer the red. The seafod paella's make my pants dance and OMG tell them to give you the birthday cake. I dunno what it is bu damn is that delicious. The staff is usually busy so try to order everything at once and dont be one of those annoying jerks that needs something else every 5 minutes and you will enjoy. But it takes forever to get seated but so what? How easy is to get food that has the authenticity you find on a spanish isle. Olive oil is antioxidant and helps protect cells from the mutations that cause cancer...if that helps ease the thought of waiting. : / Me likey.
Pros: Authentic Spanish Cuisine
Cons: slooow seating, super loud and over worked wait stuff unable to provide lots of attention. But cool ,I still go!

I've been lucky enough to have traveled to Spain multiple times in my life, and one of my favorite things about the country is the wonderful food. Cafe Iberico captures the flavors perfectly; you know you're in a great spot for Spanish food when nothing but Spaniards or other Europeans are there. Frankly, most Americans have a tough time aclimating to "traditional" flavors, and so other so-call tapas bars such as La Tasca in the 'burbs or 1492 will stoop to "Americanizing" the flavors so people feel more comfortable ordering.
Personally, the tapas are your best choice by far here, as they are decently priced, as is the sangria. Full plates can be a bit difficult to eat, especially during weekends when the place is always (ALWAYS) packed. The bar area is by far the best area to munch on tapas in since it does feel like a real meson.
Because of the crowd and noise, this is not the place for young children (especially rowdy kids who need room to move around) or the elderly. The noise will irritate them, and children probably won't be a fan of much other than the tortilla espanola or the croquetas de jamon y pollo. This is also not a place for people who are in a rush. This place is authentic Spanish, all the way down to the "manana" attitude and relaxed pace of life, and just like Spain, a meal is meant to be enjoyed over a few hours, not 45 minutes.
Overall, this is one of the best, most economic places you could go. If you really want tapas on a Saturday evening and don't want to sit in the crowd or deal with an extremely busy waitstaff, I would suggest stopping by the deli area where you can order all of your favorites to go, again at very reasonable prices. Remember, if you do decide to brave the crowd, patience is a virtue- take the time, enjoy catching up with your friends and soak in a few hours of an authentically Spanish way of life.
Pros: Great food, great prices, great ambience, all tapas.
Cons: Crowded, noisy, full plates sometimes not always up to par.

This tapas bar is the closest to Spain I've been since living there. The flavors were perfect and not overdone. My favorite were the gambas al ajillo. The prices are excellent and what they should be for tapas. The sangria is great and priced very well. There will definitely be a wait on the weekend but that's the perfect opportunity to enjoy the livelihood of the bar.

The atmosphere was fun, but a little too loud for good conversation. The food was yummy! We had the clams, some skate fish with capers and potatoes... More

We eat out A LOT...we know our stuff. And we KNOW Spain.
This is NOT "real" Spanish food.
What they call "Spanish" is not made with Spanish ingredients...kind of like passing off a "Boca burger" for a real burger...or a "Chicago Hotdog" for a grocery store generic. I always think that if someone eats here, is he REALLY going to think that this is what the food tastes like in Spain? Yikes! NO way.
However, the food is edible. (The paella does not qualify as "food".)
The best part is the hours are good. Pretty much open all day. Parking is not easy...(valet is only after 5pm)
The worst part is the NOISE! The sound BOUNCES off the ceiling and ricochets off the walls.
You cannot HEAR the person next to you. (Don't bring grandma!...Please don't bring children!) NOISE!!!
Please put in some insulation!!! (Huh!? What!?)
Pros: Hours
Cons: NOISE and lack of parking

I just started writing reviews. I must disagree with some of the other reviewers. I think the service is good and the food is great. I love to eat in the bar area when possible.
