Having A Party?  
Emilio's Tapas in Hillside and downtown Chicago can help!


Celebrating an anniversary? Having a baby shower? Whether you're honoring your new graduate or holding a baptism, we can help you host the perfect spring or summer event. Tapas are perfect for parties because they're bite-sized, fresh, and so good for sharing. And they go so well with drinks. Do it here, or do it at home - we can give you plenty of options for the best experience possible. Our party planners are standing by to help you with any event from funeral lunches to birthday bashes.

Happy Hour!

Weekdays from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at both locations, we offer bite-sized tapas (or tapeo) at a great price - one for $1.95 or five for $8.75. Come in, take a load off, and try some inexpensive eats with your post-workday drink!
