Located in a storefront in the bustling Lakeview neighborhood, this charming eatery features more than 40 different selections of soups, hot and cold tapas, and larger entrées, as well as what has been said to be the best sangria in the city. The interior's relaxed décor includes brick walls, hardwood floors, and paintings that complement the Spanish flair. Enjoy the authentic cuisine at one of the cozy tables tucked away in the dining room or, in warmer months, dine on the outdoor backyard patio, aglow with torches and candles.
