Jaleo

Some very interesting combinations and excellent presentation. Priced at between $15-20 a plate this can get quite expensive quickly so be careful. Very limited wine list but a few gems can be found. Service is attentive and the place has some bright interesting decor. Sadly the obligatory TV screen sits over the bar blaring sports or such. So not a romantic date night place. Outdoor seating is fun in summer and not a busy road so good for chatting. Worth a visit.

The food was wonderful! One of one perks of tapas is that we were able to try a wide variety of foods including duck, squid, rabbit, mushrooms, peppers, and potatoes. Servings are relatively small, but it's expected to order multiple dishes and share with the table, so the price evens out a bit. Service was also prompt and our glasses were never empty. We'll definitely be back!

AMAZING!!!!! The food’s really good. The ambiance was so relaxing. Excellent customer service. Convenient location. Modern, nice, and perfect for dates. They are doing a great job with Covid guidelines. Fair prices and good portions. I really recommend it. I’m coming back for sure.

Great experience with the family eating at Jaleo in Crystal City for the first time. We tried the seafood and chicken paella and enjoyed both dishes very much for their unique taste and flavors. We also tried a few other tapas dishes which were all delicious. We ended the meal with desserts that was shared amongst the table and everything was quite divine. Would highly recommend this restaurant if your ever in the dc metropolitan area.

Visited with my brother we picked it on a whim for lunch and for the $20 lunch set. We looked everything expect for one dish and I think that was more personal taste than anything being wrong. Neither of us have liked flan in the past but we both enjoyed the flan served. Service was day and everyone kind, i hope to return and try other dishes

Have been to the DC and Bethesda locations, so I just had to round out the trio! Dinner here did not disappoint, and it was much less crowded than the DC location - you can actually get into your booth without knocking into several other people and tables. We had a party of 4 and did the Jaleo experience tasting menu plus a seafood paella. I don’t regret it at all, but holy cow it was a lot of food. I stopped taking pictures after the first few courses because I was distracted by the excellent food, which I now regret! We had to take quite a bit home, but I do think that their paella is a must try. One of our party also got the Spanish Sips, which paired a wine with each course - delicious. Always excellent service, great drinks, and great ambience. This location also has a wine shop where you can purchase bottles that are on the menu. Free parking on weekends and after 4pm in the garage right next door.

Their $35 restaurant week menu was so delicious! The bacon dates and rice pudding were my 2 favorites. Definitely will be back to try more of their menu.

Big restaurant, convenient location. You can tell that they use large amount of olive oil on pretty much every dish. I like the decor. Most of staffs are friendly. Few of them has no facial expression. The presentation of the soup was very pretty. However it was refrigerated cold soup. I didn’t like it at all. Sautéed button mushrooms were without sautéed flavor.
