4worldlovers: In January 2020, Little Madrid Tapas Café opened in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood, a small, cozy, and colorful space. The restaurant transported guests back to Old Madrid with its warm atmosphere, delicious flavors, and enticing aromas that emanated from the kitchen. With a global pandemic raging around the world, Little Madrid Tapas Café remained a steady presence in the neighborhood and soon emerged as one of the best Spanish restaurants in Chicago.

Named after his beloved hometown, the restaurant serves the classic, authentic Spanish recipes taught to Bolaños by his grandmother, all while showcasing the traditional and warm Spanish hospitality you would receive back in Spain.

“Tapas are the expression of a lifestyle, in which everything is tested, there is a lot of talking, drinking in an intelligent way, and you come to the conclusion in small doses the world is wonderful.”

Francisco Bolaños fell in love with traditional Spanish cuisine at a young age. While growing up in Madrid, Bolaños would spend countless hours by his grandmother’s side, learning her recipes, cooking, and absorbing her passion for Spanish food. This love of cooking and bringing people together through food, nurtured by his grandmother, stayed with Bolaños during his law studies and early professional career.

Working as a Human Rights Lawyer in Europe and New York, Bolaños job took him around the world, living in fifteen different countries and experiencing other cultures. And while the work was fulfilling, opening a small restaurant in tribute to his grandmother remained his dream.

A business trip to Chicago changed everything for Bolaños. He immediately fell in love with the city and knew it would be the perfect location for a small restaurant.

Bolaños decided to make the leap and he moved from New York to Chicago.
