Tapas in Chicago
Barcelona is now sparking my interest to explore other tapas restaurants in Chicago. I think there's a decent amount of Chicago ladies (or travelers) on here. What are your fav Spanish styles tapas spots?
We've been to: Cafe Ba Ba Reeba (LP), Cafe Iberico (downtown), Bull-eh-dias (Lakeview) and Twist-a-Tapas (Wrigley).
On our list to visit: Emilio's (LP)
What else am I missing? What are your favs?
Re: Tapas in Chicago
I think you got the main ones covered.
Maybe try: 1492 (downtown), People Lounge (Wicker Park), Cafe Gaudi (West Town).

Since you just got back from Barcelona, you may be interested in the Catalan restaurant Mercat a la Planxa http://www.mercatchicago.com/ It is pricier, but very nice.
I like Iberico and Babareeba best as far as "general tapas" goes. Babareeba is good for people who are not sure what tapas are like, but the food is still delicious.
Iberico is my other choice because it seems the most authentic in the sense of no frills tapas place. I've lived in two different regions in Spain and I've brought my people I've met abroad (both my Spanish and American friends who lived there) and they liked this one the best as well.
Tavernita just opened up (same owners as Mercadito) but this is more about the atmosphere and while the food is good, I wouldn't say it has the most authentic feel.
ETA: I saw PP mentioned 1492. I swear I walked by there 2 weeks ago and there was a sign saying they were closed for remodeling. Just wanted to mention that just in case.
I was also going to suggest maybe Tavernita. We like Mercadito a lot, though we haven't tried out Tavernita just yet.
Iberico is still the most like when I lived in Madrid to me.
BaBaReeba has always been my fav; although now having Spain, I can see how Iberico is more "authentic" and would be interested in going back to try it out!
Thanks for mentioning Tavernita; I knew there was a new place but I couldn't rack my brain/google to figure out what it is called
