Mother's Day
Sunday, May 8
Celebrate the moms in your life  
with fresh, authentic food!
 
She does so much for you, every day, in so many different ways. Now it's time to give your mother a break! At Emilio's Tapas, we know how to spoil mom - with springtime specials designed specifically for her, and a special gift from us. And possibly a glass of sangria or two. We recommend that you make reservations, so that you get the times you want and don't miss out. And don't forget, Emilio's Tapas gift cards make great Mother's Day gifts, too! 
  
FLAMENCO!
Sunday, May 22
Come enjoy a free performance  
from Alma Flamenca with your meal

If you've experienced Alma Flamenca, you know it's a real treat when they're able to perform at one of our locations! Make your reservations between 6-8:30 p.m. if you'd like to enjoy complimentary flamenco dancing and music with your tapas meal. It's a great way to spice up your night in Chicago.
We are open regular hours
on Memorial Day, May 30

As always on Mondays, we are open from 11:30 a.m.-10 p.m. If you don't want to grill at home, you can find us here serving up our signature dishes as always. Come join us during this important holiday, no matter what the weather! Please note, our Hillside location is closed today.

Charity Appearances

As you may know, we love to give back. So this month you can find us participating in the following benefits:  

As the summer approaches, we'll be stepping up these types of events, so stay tuned for more places you can find us while contributing to good causes!  

Sol y Nieve now on SeatMe!

Sol y Nieve has moved to a new reservation system. You can still make your dinner reservations via our website - your destination site will be different, but it will still be an easy, familiar process. Now, however, you can also R.S.V.P. through Yelp! Just for Sol y Nieve, though - reservations for Hillside still go through OpenTable. Stay tuned for details, and please be patient as we work out the kinks. Thank you!

 
THE LUNCH MENU

Need a swift and satisfying meal that's under $12, and healthy to boot? Check out our lunch menu, which is full of sandwiches (bocadillos), open-faced sandwiches (cocas), salads (ensaladas), pastas, and entrees (raciones). Oh, and don't forget the postres (DESSERT!).

May in Chicago: Beautiful and Action-Packed

It's officially spring! Sol y Nieve is close to the heart of all the excitement downtown, both for tourists and locals. Whether you're working in an office and looking for a break, or perusing the stores along the Mag Mile, we're here for you! This month, patio dining is back and we can't wait to see how the renovation of Navy Pier is shaping up.

Spring can be capricious, but whether you need a warm and hearty respite from cold rain or a light meal to herald the return of seasonal city pleasures, Chef Crispin Plata and our amazing staff have you covered. We can cater to almost every dietary need, and we offer healthy dishes as well. Come in today! We have sangria, Spanish wines, and a great spot to watch what's going on in the city. 


We're the only authentic, family-owned Spanish tapas restaurant in the Streeterville neighborhood, celebrating 17 years in downtown Chicago. We offer flavorful, freshly-made foods with a Mediterranean influence, designed for sharing and for complementing our handmade cocktails. We're available for lunch or dinner. Emilio's Tapas Sol y Nieve is conveniently located just east of Michigan Avenue on Ohio St., steps away from Navy Pier.
