El Tapeo - OAK BROOK

We loved everything we tried. Large ingredients - even for handmade Spanish olive oil. Make room for their excellent desserts. Sangria was fantastically unique. Server was super attentive and knew the food well. We are planning a return to try items we couldn't get tonight.

One of a kind in Oakbrook. City dining feel in the suburbs. And they have my favorite octopus and awesome unique wine selections. A must try.

Amazing food and service! Can't wait to be back in oak brook to come again!

I like the design of the restaurant, because it looks like a gallery, the furniture is new and modern. We ordered 2 appetizers : one with bacon and dates , the second was with octopus and fennel. It was amazing and delicious taste. The paella did not impress us because clams had a lot of sand inside. Overall experience is great and we will come back. They need more staff, to serve food on time.

We had the patatas bravas and datiles for starter. Those were really good. The acidity of the sauce served with the dates cut through the sweetness of the dates perfectly. We also had the paella de diablo. Again, one of the better paellas we've had in Illinois. For dessert, we had the Spanish baclava and a chocolate mousse/chocolate crumble. The baclava was really good. The chocolate-y dessert was the only let down. Overall, a must try for sure.
