Tapas Del Lago,

329 Waukegan Ave, Highwood, IL 60040, United States

"Food was great. I've had tapas both in Chicago and Spain and these dishes were spot on. Unfortunately they didn't have tortilla espanola on the menu but they said they are adding it to the menu during the summer. Service was very friendly and attentive. As an FYI, the space is small and loud. They have valet. Highly recommend."

"Amazing and bold flavors of Spain. The Gambas Al Ajillo was so good we got 3 rounds of it throughout the meal. Loved the eclectic and cozy space and outdoor seating dining area looks like a plus. Service was on-par for Highwood dining. Compliments to the chef - will be retuning regularly."

"Delicious Tapas! Enjoyed 5 different plates and two desserts. Everything was was wonderful. Sangria was a perfect blend."

"The food is outstanding! We had spicy potatoes and tuna that were incredible plus so many more dishes. All the sauces were perfectly paired to the meat, veg or fish. It is impossibly loud inside. It was hard to hold a conversation because of the noise. I imagine eating outside would be better."

"Here’s what you need to know: food was delicious, and service was very courteous despite the expected growing pains (food going to wrong tables, long delays in taking orders) but overall it’s a good new addition to the local restaurant scene in Highwood’s restaurant row and I would definitely recommend it. Ambiance is OK - very simple and a shared bathroom in the next door restaurant is less than ideal. Just be patient while this brand new week old restaurant figures out the kinks. Of course it’s a joy to support local small Business, one that is making good food. We enjoyed everything fr we ordered but the house bread and the shrimp gambas. The house bread needs an immediate change - it’s just not good. Which is a conflict with the other delicious food. The shrimp Gambas tastes like a bland cream sauce and that should be adjusted to an intense Spanish style sauce . Other than that the potatoes, octopus, meatballs, calamari were all excellent. Very courteous service by Juan."
