"Jaleo is Jose Andrés’s standout spot for fun and playful takes on traditional Spanish fare. No visit is complete without an order of jamón sliders, made from acorn-fed, black-footed Ibérico pigs. Or the bacon-wrapped dates. Or the croquetas. Or the spinach. Or..." - Missy Frederick, Tim Ebner
"José Andrés is the unofficial culinary king of DC, so we’d be remiss if we didn’t include one of his spots on this list. While the food at Jaleo can be inconsistent, it’s got a great buzz, with people crammed into every nook and cranny (including the outdoor patio in winter), covering their tables in tapas. You haven’t quite lived until you’ve watched someone in a parka and gloves eating coliflor salteada and pollo croquetas on a 30-degree day. " - tristiana hinton
