Blogger Reviews of Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba

  • Eating For Sanity on Jan 28, 2014

    My girlfriend recommended ordering the short ribs. And I was glad she did. The dish comes with a sizable short rib that has been braised for quite some time. The tenderness shows that. It is served with manchego mashed potatoes, grilled onions, brussel sprouts, and ripened red jalapeños. The entire dish was incredible.

  • og1corpchef reviewNow living in Houston, TX. one place I like to mention to anyone visiting Chicago is this excellent restaurant. My dining there was a unique experience. The menu has an excellent choice. The Paella is fantastic. Everything has a unique and excellent taste to it. I strongly recommend outdoor dining around summer/fall. I feel prices are reasonable for the quality of food and drink. Try some spanish wine. Visiting Chicago? You will really dig this place.

  • Jamil reviewHow many times have you ever thought about just eating a bunch of appetizers? Well, at this restaurant ... that would be the normal way to go!While the food is good, what makes this place most enjoyable its unique style of dining. My wife and I ordered & shared about 8 different dishes, filled ourselves up and at a very reasonable price.

  • RogerRabbit reviewThis place is bursting at the seams and there’s good reason for it: Amazing tapas and an energetic atmosphere make for an exciting dining experience. Made-to-order paella and mouth-watering tapas are pleasing to the stomach and easy on the wallet. The patio is very popular. It was really cool sitting on the covered patio during a massive thunderstorm. We ordered nine dishes and while some dishes were better than others, they were all good. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was fun, and the service was great. Don't forget to try the Sangria!!! I have been to one other Tapas place in D.C. (Jaleo). It was not as good as Café Ba Ba Reeba.
