    Casual place with great food and friendly and efficient service. We had Sunday brunch at 11:15. Place was not too busy at that time, but pretty full when we left around 12:30. We found easy street parking within a few blocks. Well worth a trip. Beakfast burrito was a very generous portion and really good.

    Mama Delia in Chicago is a fantastic Spanish restaurant that truly captures a fresh take on Spanish food with the essence of traditional cuisine. From the moment you walk in, the vibrant decor and warm ambiance make you feel right at home. The menu is filled with delectable options, and every dish I tried was bursting with authentic flavors. While the paella was a highlight—rich, aromatic, and filling... The Matrimonio paired with a beautiful Albarino really wowed us! The service was attentive and friendly, with staff eager to offer recommendations and ensure a wonderful dining experience. Whether you’re a fan of Spanish cuisine or just looking to try something new, Mama Delia is a must-visit. It’s a delightful spot for a casual meal or a special occasion!
