Bocadillo Market - Spanish Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Absolutely incredible sandwich spot. The Smoked lamb had some rich, deep stewy tomato and spice flavors I had not yet encountered in Chicago. And the spanish bread is everything. This new location on Grand is very cute and has a welcoming aesthetic with a vestibule of black/white hex tiles moving into a light touch of 1930s gotham interior jewel tones but still with a modern clean neighborhood cafe vibe. Pottery, spanish olive oil, and tinned fish is on display for grab and go gifts and the beverages are all cool and unique, we tried the hibiscus rosewater soda and I need more. All the better that the desserts are unique and delicious (get yourself some almond custard pie). All in all, so happy to have this nearby, we'll be back for their dinner service for sure. read more

Bocadillo Market - Smoked Lamb Bocadillo w little fries/patatas bravas bites i think - Spanish Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Gem Found! My wife and I finally visited for brunch on a Friday after passing the place by a few days prior on our way home. Friendly cafe with around 12 tables. Chef James welcomed us, took our order and the rest is history. Excellent quality of ingredients mixed with a great traditional/french cusine knowledge can really elevate Spanish food. From well balanced bocadillos with crispy but fluffy bread to amazing croquettes with rich Bechamel sauce. Place is BYOB but the soda options are amazing! Try the Ginger or Yuzu. After finishing, Chef approached us and shared his vision and history. Not a lot of places reminds us of home, but Chef really took us there and back. Excited for dinner service in the future. read more

We love Bocadillo Market & its new location in West Town is fantastic; the vibe is great and we've been there every weekend since they reopened, trying everything on the menu one by one, for carry-out as well as dining in. Chef James and his wife Jessica are warm, welcoming hosts, too. The bocadillos with jamon serrano and melted Mahon cheese, and the bocadillos with goat cheese & sobrasada spread plus squash blossom and avocado are favorites! The empanada of the day is always great (Chef James makes a superb crust). Patatas bravas are the best. And, always get the salad. P.S. the place is BYOB. read more

Grand Ave. is basically Chicago's Sandwich Row and Bocadillo Market did not disappoint! We tried the smoked lamb and crispy calamari bocadillo, and tortilla de patatas. The Spanish baguettes on each sandwich were SO incredible. Each came with a little side of potatoes and a delicious sauce. It was quick, with great service, and a warm cafe ambience. I wish I got a coffee, but otherwise it was a perfect lunch! read more

Oh this is a must stop. Don't let this unassuming outside deter you from stopping in. Chef James is great and his quality of food is impeccable. My wife and I stoped by for lunch on a Friday and oh my. We split the eggplant empanada and lentil soup. We then each had crispy calamari and smoked lamb. Holy, everything was great. Rich deep flavors and attention to detail is great to see. read more
