Mercat a la Planxa - Chicago

Service was great. The team was attentive and helped us keep to our deadline to make it to a concert performance at Auditorium Theatre.

We had a very nice meal (brunch)…food was delicious and we sat in a bright corner of the restaurant. We liked it very much!!! The bacon wrapped dates were to die for….

If I could give a restaurant 10 stars, it would be Mercat a la Planxa. We have never had so much fun eating dinner. The service was incredible. The food was amazing!!! Everything we ordered was delicious! We ordered the Traditional Experience Menu. It came with a little bit of everything. You paid the same price person. It was worth every penny. We left full and happy. (Note: Be sure to look at all my pics to see what we ate.

Went there to celebrate a birthday. The waiter tried to push meat on us when we were already spending a ton of money and we order other meat items. The sangria pitcher was like half full when it came to the table as the cups with a ton of ice were already full. Not really a discount as the cost of 4-5 individual bought cups was the same as the 4-5 glasses we got out of the pitcher… it was tasty though, just not a bargain like pitchers are supposed to be. The food flavor profiles were pretty good. We like the tomato and the tomato and prosciutto bread the most. It’s a fun experience, but I think we’d try a different tapas place in the future… The churros were good, but the cheesecake—sold as the best cheesecake ever—was burnt and fluffy—NOT GOOD!

I highly recommend the croquetas de maíz and the setas. absolutely delicious!
