Jaleo - DC

“We go often to Jaleo, but their service and the food this time were particularly amazing. Through the app I let them know it was our anniversary and they put us in a very private corner and gave us free glasses of sparkling wine. Our server was amazing. Their staff is always the highest quality. I tried a new Summer orange-heavy, gin and tonic that was refreshing and amazing. Also can’t recommend the gazpacho and the jambon sandwich enough. Also, given this is a Jose Andres restaurant, and he leads the nonprofit World Central Kitchen, a good place to spend your money.”

“We’ve been coming here for 16 years and it never disappoints. Literally everything is good here. Family friendly, great for just tapas and cocktails. You can’t go wrong. The service is always really good and very friendly. Great with recommendations as well.”

“Look you won’t find any better tapas in all of DC. Sit down and let the flavors take over. These tapas have been perfected over many generations. This is traditional Spanish food like from Spain people! I can’t wait to come back and enjoy even more flavors and custom dishes. The steak was my favorite but everything was superb.”

“It’s my little Spain 🇪🇸 food was amazing and the service too. The gentleman who served us was knowledgeable enough to suggest food and drink that can help us feel being home. Yes, I feel my Madrid… more than ever!”

“Unfortunately the paella fell short. Which was shocking because Jose Andreas is know for paella! There was zero Socarrat! It needed 5 for min. Super disappointing. The shrimp tasted frozen one of the worst I’ve ever tasted ! The liquid olives amazing ! The Pa amb tomaquet was tasty. But it is bread with tomatoes so how can you mess that up? Gabriel was the best waiter so kind so on top of everything he deserves all the praise!! Also the Gazpacho was good ! Also a big disappointment was the Jamón ibérico it was not hand sliced ! You can tell when it's freshly sliced off the leg! This was cut on a machine This place is meant for tourists. Don’t waste your time. Try casa Teresa a true authentic Spanish experience!”
