Emilio's Tapas Restaurant Authentic Spanish Tapas in the Chicagoland area since 1988 🇪🇸 Emilio’s Tapas is known as “The Home of Chicago’s Tapas King”.

Opened in 1988 in Hillside Illinois in a time when people didn’t know much about Spain and its food. Chef Emilio Gervilla soon won over the crowds and 36 yrs later he still greets his guests at the door and he can also be seen making his way to the tables to personally thank his guests for joining him. Here at Emilio’s Tapas Restaurants we have become known for our Signature dishes, from our legendary Paellas, to our Patatas con Alioli (garlic potato salad) and lets not forget our Datiles con Tocino (bacon wrapped dates). Our menu consists of regional Spanish specialties, original dishes created by Chef Emilio offered in both the dining room and bar for lunch (Friday & Saturday) and dinner daily (Wednesday thru Sunday). The restaurant is casual with spacious dining rooms and an energetic atmosphere accentuated by colorful Spanish murals, music and tiles. Both indoor and patio seating (weather permitting) can be offered during business hours. We welcome you to visit the restaurant. We hope to have you as our guest in the near future.
