WE tried 4 different dishes and they were all delicious! The service was great and the atmosphere was lovely! We enjoyed our meal and experience there very much!
Wonderful food and nice atmosphere and a staff that took good care of us. One of my best dining experiences ever.
My hubby and I love this hidden gem. We come here for the great tapas!!!!!
Best Tapas I've had so far! Even better than Iberico! Scallops, shrimp and stuffed avocados with lobster. So delicious! Will be back soon!
Oh my good deliciosa la comida . Los pinchos de pollo riquisimos definitivamente recomiendo ke vayan a disfrutar el ambiente tan agradable y buen servicio. �
The food is amazing! These owners take pride in their food and their customers. Customer service is top notch!!!
Loved the food. We had a number of plates and I think all of them were delicious. It is very filling and freshly made. I would definetly come here again. The staff is nice and attentive as well.
Come in a few times a month and was there yesterday to celebrate my birthday. Some staples there that are absolutely amazing and always prepared well. Bit disappointed in the BYOB fee, but it's understandable.
You can't go wrong with trying anything on the menu. Great food presented by amazing people.
Best place for tapas...
The perfect amount of oil and just a little bit of spices so food doesn't lose the natural taste!!!!
Come often for dinner- always delicious!!
Tuesday is no corkage BYOB night!
THe food was terrific, the customer service was awesome and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Marbella's !!
I can't find the words to even describe the feeling of happiness your taste buds will have after eating, either a meal or just having some of their exquisite Tapas.

Fantastic food and service. Such wonderful flavors. ¡Bravo!
As always, food was great, dessert hit the spot with a cortado.
Our food and drinks came out quite fast and they were all superb. I had never tried escargot before and the one they had here was so delicious. Our waiter was also great, I feel bad that I forgot to get his name, but he was the waiter working around 5:30pm on Friday, November 17th. He was so attentive and made sure we were well taken care of.
Excellent. Food was flavorful and service was attentive. 100% recommend
Amazing time here. Please come check it out :)))) amazing food and host Marie.
Will be back again.
January 6 came back again and it tasted sooooooo gooood. The Avocado Seafood Shrimp Salad served in the Avocado Shell was out of this world ❤️❤️❤️❤️ loved it. Nice place for a date as well in this case I took myself out for a Date and it was awesome :) 😂
There are a number of appreciable things about this quaint little place. They have an ever-changing variety of creations on their daily specials menu along with their standard options. Family run with excellent, friendly and attentive service and willing flexibility.
It's not variety and unforgettable flavors like Cafe Iberio or high end tapas like Black Bull but Cafe Marbella it's hard to beat.
Cafe Marbella offering excellent experience for overall from plenty of parking, value from food, interesting wine or sparkling wine lists, good desserts and fine services as well.
This is a low key excellent dinner for reasonable price in this area.
Cozy little Spanish restaurant with beautiful ambiance. The tapas we had (especially the Setas Al Ajillo - sautéed portobello mushroom with garlic, thyme, paprika and white wine) were absolutely delicious. Paella Marinera (saffron rice with fish and seafood) was so flavorful! We left with happy bellies and clean plates! :-)
Always fresh - always tasty. The specials are always the place to start. Make a reservation if you want to dine in. The have four tables outside too.
Love the food there but this time I try the paella and I didn't like it, the rice was flavorless it didn't have that seafood flavor the real paella has but besides that, everything was perfect.
Great food! The portobello mushrooms were to die for. The decor a little dated but food is was really great!
My first but not last visit.Nice comfortable setting inside and outside.Amazing food. We tried fish soup, raviolis, avocado salad, flat bread and the star of the night was guava cheese cake. Highly recommend.
Stumbled upon this place while in the area. Great food and drinks at a reasonable price with an attentive server. Perfect for a low key date night. Highly recommend the baked goat cheese and squid.
Everything we had was delicious. You must order the Spinach a la Catalana awesome. The espresso cake and ricotta and goat cheesecake were great. The only thing that can improve is livelier music and decorations of the place. Making it a more happier and fun place. But, food and service good not be beat. Delicioso!!!
Amazing experience with the service, the food is authentic from Spain. Great selection of Spanish beers too. This is a hidden gem in Chicago
Great food. Great people. A friendly neighborhood spot.
Excellent food and service. They never fail to impress.
My only and favorite Spanish restaurant. Food is tasteful amazing. Their salads are delicious.There always friendly. I love this place. Thank you for everything.
I love this place. The food and service are great, and likely better than any other Tapas restaurant in Chicago. For instance, my wife and I went to the latest Tapas restaurant in Fulton Market - it was terrible. All the food was way over salted, and the very expensive drinks were weak. After that, her and I believe Cafe Marbella is the best Tapas in the city. It's a true Northwest side gem. We live in Portage Park, and we started coming here when they opened back up after initial Covid lock down. Back then, we were the only people there besides the delivery drivers coming and going, and the food along with service was perfect. I will go there as often as I can as long as it continues to be great food and service.
