I went to Vegas for a girls' weekend with June K. and Melissa K., two of my best and oldest friends. We kissed our children goodbye and boarded an 8:00 Friday night flight from LAX. By 10:00, we were checked in at the Cosmopolitan and sitting down for dinner at Jaleo, about four hours later than we typically eat. The restaurant was fun, a big place on the third floor of the Comso, with a colorful dining room, an open kitchen, and an easy upscale Vegas casual vibe. It was pretty lively when we arrived, the crowd only thinning after 11 or so. We hung out until midnight and had a fantastic time. We were celebrating June's birthday, and it was also her first time away from her baby, then eleven months old. Jaleo took tremendously good care of us. Our waiter Kevin was an amazing host, so friendly and attentive. Didn't hurt that he kept bringing us freebies, starting with three glasses of champagne. We followed this up with a round of cocktails, and all of them were delicious. I loved the Margarita Ibérica, made with arbol-infused LALO tequila blanco, Del Maguey Vida mezcal, Lustau amontillado, lime, bay leaf, and salt air with sherry vinegar and piparra brine. Light and refreshing, with that lovely touch of vinegar. The Golden Vector was a strong, balanced drink, with Sazerac rye Sazerac whiskey, manzanilla, and banana, smoked tableside with star anise and cedar. Jaleo has several gin and tonics on the menu, and we tried the Cítrico, with Oxley gin, Fever-Tree Mediterranean tonic, grapefruit, lemon, and mint. A cool cocktail for a hot night. The food was excellent. We ordered a bunch of stuff to share, and it came out at a good pace, so we always had something to eat but were never overwhelmed. We started with the sandia con tomate, a ruby-red salad with slices of juicy watermelon and tomato, topped with goat cheese, pistachio, and Pedro Ximenez vinegar reduction. Then we had the pan de cristal con tomate, thin, crispy toasted slices of bread brushed with fresh tomato and I assume plenty of garlic. Next, some tasty fried things: buñuelos de bacalao, or cod and potato fritters with honey aioli; and berenjenas fritas a la Malagueña, fried eggplant with yogurt espuma, local honey, and lemon. At this point, Kevin brought us more treats from the kitchen. Two trios of olives, the aceitunas marinadas and the aceitunas "Ferran Adrià." The first were traditional marinated Spanish olives, the second Ferran Adrià-style "liquid" olives that took me back to José Andrés's time at Bazaar in L.A. The pulpo a la parilla was a beautiful octopus dish, with tender charcoal-grilled octopus, potatoes, and tomato confit. The gambas al ajillo were classic and satisfying, shrimp sautéed with garlic, served in a pan with flauta bread to mop up that rich, garlicky sauce. We rounded out our meal with a bountiful paella, the arroz a banda con gambas. This came with rice, cuttlefish sofrito, and head-on shrimp. It was just what we wanted, and I especially enjoyed the nuggets of cuttlefish and the crispy rice at the bottom of the pan. For dessert, we ordered the tarta de queso, which came alongside a complimentary flan and a lit candle in honor of our birthday girl. The flan--al estilo tradicional de mamá Marisa con espuma de crema catalana--was silky, custardy, and very easy to eat, served with an "espuma" of Catalan cream. The tarta de queso was even better, a Basque-style cheesecake made with goat cheese and topped with honey and salt. Fluffy, decadent, and not too sweet. We also left with boxes of turrón, a sugary Spanish nougat candy that stuck to my teeth when I tried it the next day. We had a blast at Jaleo. Great food, great drinks, great vibes, and great service. I'd highly recommend it for a nice dinner in Vegas, especially if you're staying at the Cosmo. read more

I really wanted to like Jaleo, because I love chef Jose Andres but unfortunately, the experience didn't match the price tag. Between myself and my husband, we ordered a couple sliders, a ham sandwich an empanada and two cocktails and our bill was over $200. The portions are extremely small, even for tapas, and I left still hungry enough that I ended up stopping for food afterwards. The service was friendly and attentive, which was definitely the highlight of the experience. However, the food itself didn't feel memorable or high-quality enough to justify the cost. I'd also be hesitant to recommend it for larger groups. Sharing small plates among a big table is difficult for everyone to try very much and the experience felt more frustrating than enjoyable. Overall great service but disappointing food options. For the amount spent, I expected to leave impressed not still looking for something else to eat. read more

I've been holding off coming to this place because I have a great affinity for Jose Andres and all who come from the powerful Adria culinary lineage. It's one of those situations in life where you come in with such positive preconceptions that you don't want it to be ruined in any way. I can happily report this place lives up to the expectations. You must come here during sangria hour (very happy). This is by far the best value I've had on strip. $4-10 a plate for this quality of food is unbelievable. I came prepared to drop serious money and my wallet could not outrace my appetite. The service was really special. I expressed regret in a second language about the dissapearance of an old menu item and the waitress picked up on it immediately and asked what I was looking for. She said they would have it custom made no problem. It was the pan con tomate with boquerones. The anchovies being marinated in vinegar instead of oil is phenomenal. So good and the service so nice that we ordered twice. They could've overcharged for an off-menu item but they didn't and that takes restraint and respect. I've been to vegas so many times and I've been up and down spring mountain road and the strip to some of the best restaurants in these areas for the past 10 years. I always try to have one nice meal on the strip and in all my experiences this is up there with L'Atelier when it comes to fine dining but still feeling full and satiated. If you're like me and when you think of dessert you want cheese, the basque cheesecake dessert here is probably the best meal finisher I've had in years. Please get it and leave some for the next days breakfast. The one area for improvement was the weakness of the sangria. Seemed a bit watered down, though the frozen version was great. I already had a smile on my face but seeing old clips of Made in Spain playing in the background really sealed the deal. I'll be back Jaleo, never change. read more

Tasting menu quite enjoyable but just be aware that Jose Andres is a bit of an amateur chef who over seasons most every dish. Lot of salt everywhere. Still liked it especially the gazpacho and the steak. read more

I always love a good excuse to get tapas, and Jaleo looked like the perfect spot to indulge. Vegas has its fair share of celebrity chef-driven restaurants, and this one is led by Chef José Andrés himself, located inside The Cosmopolitan. The setting is upscale yet warm and unpretentious, with an energetic vibe that makes it the perfect spot for a memorable, shared dining experience. Our dinner included the following: Spanish white anchovies with pan de cristal, Jamón Serrano, grilled chicken thigh with ajillo sauce and black garlic purée, charcoal-grilled octopus with potatoes and tomato confit, and shrimp sautéed with garlic and served with flauta bread. We also shared a pitcher of their white sangria, which came highly recommended and is a true tapas staple. Everything we had was spectacular and reflective of Chef Andrés' culinary prowess in showcasing authentic Spanish cuisine on the Strip. Service was excellent and attentive, with our waiter keeping the pacing of our meal just right and checking on us regularly. We certainly felt the hospitality throughout the lively and welcoming atmosphere. read more

Jaleo at the Cosmopolitan is one of those restaurants that immediately transports you to Spain the moment you walk through the doors. The décor is vibrant, warm, and sophisticated, inspired by the energy of traditional Spanish tapas bars with a modern artistic twist. Rich reds, warm woods, colorful tile accents, dramatic lighting, and an open, lively dining room create an inviting atmosphere that feels both upscale and welcoming. The open layout allows you to take in the excitement of the restaurant while still feeling comfortable at your table. It's a beautiful space that perfectly captures the spirit of celebrating food, wine, and good company. The service was absolutely magnificent from beginning to end. We were warmly welcomed by the hostesses, who immediately made us feel like valued guests. Our waiter was exceptional, professional, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the menu. He took the time to answer our questions, offered thoughtful recommendations, and ensured everything throughout the meal was perfect. This is hospitality done right. The sangrias were delicious, refreshing, and full of flavor. My only minor suggestion would be a little less ice in the glass next time, as it diluted the drink a bit. I may order a pitcher on my next visit because they were that good. We started with the olive assortment and the Pan con Tomate, toasted slices of uniquely crispy bread imported from Barcelona and brushed with fresh tomato. It's a classic Spanish staple, and both appetizers were simple, authentic, and absolutely delicious. For our entrée, we enjoyed the halibut filet served with a luxurious mussel saffron sauce, braised fennel, and chive oil. The fish was perfectly cooked, tender, and complemented beautifully by the rich, aromatic sauce. For sides, we ordered the Patatas Bravas, crispy fried potatoes served with spicy tomato sauce and alioli, which were outstanding, and the Coliflor Salteada con Aceitunas y Dátiles, sautéed cauliflower with dates, olives, and PX wine. The combination of sweet and savory flavors made this dish incredibly unique and memorable. The atmosphere is chic, energetic, and joyful. You can feel the excitement throughout the dining room, making it an ideal place for a date night, celebration, or gathering with friends. Overall, Jaleo delivered an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. Beautiful surroundings, impeccable service, outstanding food, and delicious cocktails made for a truly memorable meal. I highly recommend it and can't wait to return to explore more of the menu. read more

Restaurant is on the 3rd floor with the other places like beauty and Essex and STK. open to the casino common area. Hugh central kitchen where you can see the fire as they cook and make paella. We had a 7 pm reservation and showed up a little after 5. Luckily it was Sunday night and they weren't busy. We were seated and the adventure began. We had not been here before so ordered across the various areas of the menu. Since it's a tapas place, each dish is small and can put away quite a few. We ordered: Jose's taco. The best thing I've put in my mouth in a long time. Wish we didn't have it first, was mind blowing mix of flavors. It's seaweed with a slice of Iberico ham and caviar. 25 each but well worth it One of each cone - sonatas, caviar, Scalia and atun. All were delicious but the caviar and tuna tartare were my faves Pan tomate wife loves this, traditional presentation and good. Patatas brava chunks of potato in a tomato sauce very good Vieras scallop dish, very tasty Gazpacho was cold and refreshing Cod bunuelos. Cod fish calendar fried, got about 5 and they were really delicious Marisol croquet seafood cake, deep fried and served with a tasty aioli. Arroz gambas. I had the large paella, takes about 45 mins so if you know you want one, order early. You can get the paella of the day in a smaller version, but I had my heart set on this one and polished off about 86% of it. Tarta de queso. We had the basque cheesecake for dessert. Was really good, I think I like this version better than the NY style. Much lighter. Was a fantastic experience, food was great, service amazing. Can't wait to come back!! They are known for their gin and tonics so the wife got the ultimate and I got the citric. Citric had Mediterranean tonic water with grapefruit juice. Was really good! Service was super, Kayla was very attentive and friendly with lots of suggestions and helpful explanations of things weren't sure about. read more

Jaleo is a nice upscale tapas place at the cosmopolitan. We were able to secure a Monday reservation literally 2 hours before and by the time we went for dinner, it was packed! The tapas are great, lots of vegetarian options.. our favorite were patatas bravas, mini burger and croquettes. Our server Nick L was absolutely amazing. Despite the restaurant being packed, he was on top of his game. We were celebrating my parents wedding anniversary and he got us the most delicious flan I have ever had! I would go back to Jaleo just to have their flan. read more

Extremely crowded. The tables are crammed so closely together it is difficult to get in and out, making the ambience feel uncomfortable. My server was very nice but had way too many tables and they seemed to be spread across the restaurant. The tapas were good. The oysters escabeche were especially delicious. But, there were long gaps between courses and a long wait for the bill after I requested it. read more

Good ambience bus person excellent waitress not attentive forgot we were there bus person was the only that wait on us it was my daughter birthday didn't do nothing special didn't even come to say happy birthday to my girl waitress was really bad I wouldn't come back paella nothin special Chinese fried rice better in other places everything was horrible read more

Chef José Andrés' Spanish tapas restaurant is an absolutely fabulous date night experience! From reception to wait staff, everyone is cheerful, enthusiastic, and on it. They make the place, without a doubt The food is elevated tapas, fancier than typically found across Iberia. The vibe is exactly right; tables near each other, the whole village enjoying food together. The Cono de Caviar has smoky Amar Osetra topped with gold leaf, a fabulous bite that celebrates the ingredients. The Cono de Atun lets the fish shine through. Winners, both. The Datiles - dates stuffed with almonds and wrapped in bacon - have texture and taste dancing together in your mouth. The Chorizo Casero features an olive oil potato puree and a cider reduction that brought me back to the streets of Barcelona. The Calamares Romana - deep-fried squid with an octopus ink aoili - is deeply satisfying and makes everyone's mouth black for a satisfying amount of time. It's hard to exhaust this deep menu, and we left all the dishes celebrating the native acorn-fed Iberian pigs to the next visit. read more

Everything in the happy hour menu was incredible. With a wide variety of tapas, the seafood was extremely flavorful paired with a delicious sangria and hand selected wine by their in house sommelier. The service and ambience was wonderful with extremely friendly staff, our servers name was Nina therefore if you get to have her help you, don't be afraid to ask for recommendations! The black ink squid calamari, potatoes and chicken fritters were very tasty. Can't wait to order them again and try others in future! read more

I needed some time to kill and it was almost dinner time when I found out Jaleo has something called 'Sangria Hour', which is their happy hour. It's daily at the bar from 5-7. I got there at about 6:40 and overall, it was a bit empty, and the bar was probably only about half full. I don't think a lot of people know about it because they don't advertise it. Even when I sat down and they gave me the menu, they didn't initially give me the Sangria Hour menu - I had to ask for it. Luckily, I still had enough time to order. I had: Patatas Bravas (fried potatoes with spicy tomato sauce and aioli) - these were a little basic. It could have used a bit more flavor - maybe more spicyness? Endibias Con Queso de Cabra y Naranjas (endives with goat cheese, oranges, almonds, roasted garlic dressing) - I normally don't like goat cheese but I really liked this. The oranges were refreshing, and I liked all the different flavors together Pan con Tomate (toasted bread with fresh tomato) and added Manchego cheese - can't go wrong with tomato bread! I probably could have eaten a few more of these They also have a few drink specials during Sangria Hour so next time if you're around during this time, check it out but just be sure to ask for the menu! read more

You can taste the charred grilled from the octopus. read more

I went into Jaleo with high expectations. José Andrés is a legend, and I was eager to experience his take on Spanish cuisine. The food largely delivers, but the ambiance left me wanting more. For a concept with so much cultural richness to draw from, the space feels like a missed opportunity. The one exception is the "e" room, an intimate 9-seat chef's experience that is creatively and beautifully decorated. I peeked in but didn't dine there as it runs around $300 to $400 per person. We started with the manchego, and it set a great tone. The raw sheep's milk flavor is tangy and bright, and the young, creamy texture pairs beautifully with the Marcona almonds. Simple and well executed. The Bikini de Jamón y Queso Manchego was one of the highlights of the night. It's a pressed sandwich of Serrano ham, Manchego cheese, and caramelized onions, served with a honey mustard sauce on the side that is excellent. Sounds simple, tastes remarkable. The Cono de Sobrasada is a cute little bite that comes in a crispy brik pastry cone filled with sobrasada Ibérica, a hint of goat cheese, and a drizzle of honey. The honey is essential here because the sobrasada is bold and intense on its own. It's a fun tapa but I expected a little more from it. For tapas, the Berenjenas Fritas a la Malagueña is a must order. Crispy fried eggplant paired with a light yogurt, lemon, and honey espuma that hits a perfect balance of salty and sweet. Don't skip it. The undisputed star of the night was the Gambas al Ajillo. Shrimp sautéed in olive oil, garlic, and chili peppers with an aroma that pulls you in before the plate even lands on the table. Mouthwatering from start to finish. We closed with the Tarta de Queso, a Basque style cheesecake made with goat cheese, finished with honey and salt. I appreciated the concept and I knew going in that this would be nothing like a traditional cheesecake. That said, I've had better versions of this dish elsewhere. This one was slightly overbaked and a touch dry, and the flavor didn't quite reach the depth it promised. Overall a memorable Spanish dinner with some real standouts. Lean into the tapas, order the gambas without hesitation, and save room for the Bikini. For the location and the caliber of the concept, $120 for two without alcohol feels like a fair deal on the Strip. read more

The evening was excellent we were able to get a lovely table for three on short notice. Since we were able to get right in. We had the Garlic Shrimp Tapas! They were quite delicious with just the right spicyness! They devein and take the heads off the shrimp! The ambience was really nice because you could sit and watch them prepare the Paella and people watch at the cosmopolitan! I really liked the decor. The Paella of the night was sausage, Shrimp and chicken. I also shared a glass of Sangria which was delicious! I would highly recommend Jaleo and can't wait to return! read more

Jaleo - Paella - Spanish Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

OMG! My daughter, Muff decided to treat me to a Las Vegas trip for my birthday and we went to several restaurants that we've both been wanting to go to. Jaleo was one of the top restaurants that we wanted to go to and the restaurant exceeded our expectations. Jaleo is a beautifully appointed restaurant and the decor is amazing. Low-backed sofas were actually beautiful and comfortable and the way that Jaleo is decorated is in keeping with casual yet elevated Spanish tastes. And the wait staff service was stupendous. My daughter and I never had to ask for our table to be serviced; It just happened and the staff was extremely intuitive. And the food! I left the restaurant hoping and begging that Jose Andres would open a Jaleo in the Pittsburgh area. We had the Croquetas de Pollo, Croquetas de Jamon, Gambas al Ajillo, sangria and we had a black ink pasta dish (Rossejat Negra...or Not) that was superb. I can't wait to go back again to the Las Vegas Jaleo! Definitely worth the wait! read more

My husband and I were craving some tapas and decided to come to Jaleo for a quick dinner. Our server was incredible....very attentive and knowledgeable. We started with the pan con tomate with an order of manchego to compliment it - so simple yet so delicious. The fennel salad was bright, crisp, and much needed to help offset the heavier dishes. The fried eggplant was eye opening...was not what I was expecting since I've never had eggplant like chips. We finished with the flat iron steak with the delicious sauce and the octopus which was cooked perfectly. And no trip to Jaleo would be complete without one of their gin & tonics - a drink I wouldn't typically order but had to have 2 of them. Highly recommend!! read more

I made a reservation to celebrate our anniversary as we've dined at other Jose Andres restaurants around the country and they are always a great experience. This location was no different. The food, service, and atmosphere were on point. Situated in The Cosmopolitan near the infamous chandelier, it offers ample exterior seating and things to see/do if you show up a little early as we did. Kevin was our server who with a team of people ensured our evening was special. We were welcomed with congratulatory signage at the table and verbal recognition of our anniversary which got me some brownie points with my wife given the smile on her face. We tried the Patatas Bravas, Judias Romesco, Carne Piquillo, Chorizo Casero, and Pollo Ajillo. They were all delicious. These are smaller dishes that are shared at the table, not single person entrees so you have to account for food choices and number of people when ordering. Given that it was just my wife and I, it was pretty easy for us to pick and choose what we wanted to eat. My wife had a ginger beer which she seems to be enjoying more of these days given our fitness kick. I on the other hand had a margarita which I thought was good, but not great. I've had better for the cost and size which seemed to be overwhelmed with ice. I would likely stick with water or a non-alcoholic beverage in the future. To celebrate our anniversary, they brought us a dessert and champagne which we really didn't need but were very appreciative of the generous recognition. Overall, a $138 bill for two people which is a little steep but it was a wonderful memory. read more

Always a pleasure to visit any of Chef Jose Andres restaurants. The service/food and ambiance never disappoint. That chorizo has ruined me for life as I won't be able to eat any other sausage wout comparing to this one. It is a tapas place and each plate is enough for 2 pple to try. My husband and I ordered 4 dishes/2 sides and we were full enough. It was our anniversary and our server went above and beyond. Again. Always 5 star service every time we go to Jaleo anywhere. For our special anniversary dinner we received a comped toast except I don't drink alcohol so they made a special sparkly mocktail for me that was delicious. I just can't say enough good things about the service the food and the ambiance. It's not cheap but well worth the splurge! read more

Amazing food, fun shared plates and great vibes. Located upstairs in the Cosmopolitan Jaleo is a true gem. It is a little more casual thank your typical Vegas dinner. Our group did the tasting menu, omg wow!!! A few of the dishes that I thought I wouldn't like were actually some of my favorite (ex olive appetizers & I don't like olives). The tasting menu is 100% small portions, but don't be fooled it will fill you up. The staff was super knowledgeable about each course providing insight into each dish. read more

We dined at Jaleo and it was truly an amazing experience from the beautiful women in the front till our leave! We didn't have reservations but I would recommend it. I think we were very lucky on a Saturday night to be seated within a few minutes. Our seating was just what we hoped for without even asking. We love booth seating because we explore menus and love good food. Our server (KEVIN) was excellent along with the server assistant (NATHANIEL). Shout out to these men for truly exceptional service. They both worked hard as we watched them demonstrate their expertise all over the restaurant. If you love sparkling water please try theirs which is the best I have ever had. I didn't order drinks guys I just enjoyed the water. The food was sooooo delicious ! Everything was cooked to perfection. I love seafood but not really shrimp but I ordered 2 servings OMG! They noted my pork allergy which was great. Kevin was even more impressive by telling me he forgot the scallops came with pork but got the cooks to prepare it without the pork so it only took a few minutes longer. This sold me here because not many people are accountable for mistakes but this never made it to my table! ‍ THANK YOU KEVIN! Thank you to these men cook also for preparing it so fast because there was no lag time! Everything was PERFECT! We will definitely be going back to dine here again! Big thanks again Kevin you are exceptional and Nathaniel you are amazing! Dream team! ‍ read more

Came here for the Sangría hour that's daily 5-7pm. I came on a Saturday night around 6 and found a seat at the bar right away. Around 6:30 it got full though. We got the patatas bravas, cono de sobrasada, endibias con queso de cabra, Sangría de cava, but the real HH deal was they had was their special - a bottle of wine and cheese and meat board! This was a nice stop for the night and we had great service from our bartender JT as well :) read more

Lovely Spanish tapas restaurant at The Cosmopolitan! Came here specifically to eat Paella and called ahead of time to ensure that Paella Valenciana is available and it will be made with rabbit meat. Ambiance is modern, staff is friendly and menu is exhaustive. Bread and tomatoes were delicious. Spanish chorizo sausage and manchego cheese were good. Paella on the other side was a total disappointment. Expensive served in plate for one person for $80 is an insult. Considering this is the only reason I came here - I would consider my visit to be a total flop read more

This was my second time here... and honestly it wasn't as good as the first! The service is always nice, they are helpful and always willing to guide you through the menu. But the food fell short this time. The pork secreto was the only thing I enjoyed this time. The paella was just ok, nothing spectacular. The shrimps also weren't a stand out for me. The appetizers we had were only ok and you honestly can't go wrong with cured meats. I hope this was just a bad night because I was really hoping to make this a go to spot for me. read more

This is my second time having Jaleo, first was in Orlando. Vegas is the second. I can confirm this restaurant is okay. Starter: Bread with tomato sauce. Sauce was sweet, which it wasn't so thin and bread was think, which it was a bit thicker. But good vessel for the prosciutto. Ham croquettes: Very underwhelming. I thought it tasted more like a ham pot pit. Aged prosciutto: was very delicious, not too salty. Patta's bravo: the sauce on the bottom was nice with sweet notes. But the potatoes could be crispier. Plating cause also be better Main: Bbq chicken: surprising the best dish. Moist and light char flavor Special chorizo and pork paella. Was okay. Missing the crispy side. Also wished the chorizo was cut it and crisped. Overall okay. I think I'll try another place instead of coming back. read more

If you like spicy, you HAVE to get the Margarita Ibérica. This is the greatest spicy margarita ever. The mezcal gives it a smoky edge, and the foam on top ensures that you get that combo of saltiness on every sip. It is their house margarita and all the servers swear by it--for good reason. I asked about it, and they said the secret is árbol chili peppers which they incorporate into the mezcal for that perfect blend of spice! PRO TIP: if you have anyone at your table who isn't good with spicy drinks--just ask for it with only half the spicy mezcal. My daughter did this and was able to enjoy it with me. read more

Jaleo - Margarita Ibérica - BEST SPICY MARG EVER. - Spanish Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Jaleo, located in Cosmopolitan in the Las Vegas Strip, had its original location in Washington DC. It was Jose Andres' restaurant that introduced tapas to the mainstream in the US. The menu is overwhelming with dozens of options. In order to keep it simple, we went with a tasting menu for $135/pp and we were given several courses including aged, cured iberico pork with caviar, hangar steak with roasted red peppers and red pepper sauce, pan con tomate with manchego cheese and cured meats, green beans with goat cheese and tomato sauce, and shrimp paella. Another special in July is their "Sangria Summer" and we were able to get a half pitcher of a sangria with strawberry/peach and it was refreshing on this 107 degree day. If you want to experience Spanish food, Andres' "Jaleo" is a nice introduction. What brings it down to three stars to me is that, with tapas priced at around $15 per dish, there's no way to get around the fact that it's quite expensive. In my book, when I know that I'm paying $$$$, expectations go up. We definitely had some nice flavor bombs in our tasting menu; however, the paella was one of their signature/keynote dishes and it was disappointing. Missing from the paella was that desirable soccarat (crispy rice). It did have strong flavor from shrimp stock, but the texture was one note. Nevertheless, I may come back in the future to try a handful of tapas and their delicious sangrias. read more

Love love love the sangria hour here! My husb & I have enjoyed it maybe 3-4 times and highly recommend. Always great, friendly bartenders and servers, gorgeous and lively Spanish ambiance, fabulous drinks and delicious small plates, perfect for ordering a few to incorporate a very diverse array of tastes and textures. My faves on the sangria hour menu are the Gazpacho, Cono, Patatas, Croquetas, and Pan (see pics for details). And of course the sangria! Very fun, boisterous vibe, with the chefs ringing a bell (or maybe gong?) to announce when the paella is ready. Highly recommend for anyone in or around the Cosmo looking for a delightful and delicious experience! read more

My wife and I went to Jaleo for our anniversary and it was PERFECT. The vibe of the place was light at 5pm for our early reservation but busy and fun by the time we left at 6:30. No rush just tapas at their finest. Service is what you expect for about $60-120 per person. Plates/service ware are cleared during the meal as needed. Drinks were filled and the staff checked on us as needed throughout. But the food! Oh man what a memorable meal! My wife got a lavender cocktail she loved. We ordered the gazpacho appetizer to split and then the Jaleo classic pre fixe tapas meal for $85 per person. Portions were large for tapas and there were 8 dishes and dessert in the meal. Everything was delicious but the highlights for us were: The gazpacho. The pan con tomato paired with iberico ham. The chicken croquettes. And the endive with goat cheese, orange and almonds. Oh and the best flan we've ever had... and I literally proposed to my wife with a ring on a flan; so trust me, we know flan. Worth every penny and made for a beautiful meal. read more

Everything was absolutely delicious!! Most of us are now familiar with tapas and this is just everything and done just a little bit better. The liquid olive is something truly special -- it's $4 a pop, so get one. The marinated olives were also just super good olives - even my friend who doesn't like olives liked them! Potatoes super soft and creamy inside. Eggplant super crisp yet light not greasy. Shrimp had crazy good butter garlic sauce. The pan con tomate was so simple but a MUST GET. The fresh tomatoes and the super crisp but still soft bread was perfection. The paella was brimming with flavor and toppings. The endives reminded me that I really need to eat endives more often (tho really it was a delivery vehicle for the goat cheese). The desserts were all excellent too! The flan was light and creamy, not eggy or too pudding like (since I normally don't like flan). The basque style cheesecake was not as soft as I normally like my basque cheesecake but the goat cheese and salt made it something different. None of the desserts were too sweet which was a pleasant surprise (and the ultimate Asian compliment; but americans be warned?) Service was super lovely. Loved the drinks we got too. All around great meal! read more

Exceptionally executed tasting menu from one of the all time greats, Jose Andres. We had the classic pre fixe menu and it did not disappoint in flavor or quantity. I can't emphasize enough how much of a value this route was for 4 people. All the food was amazing, fresh and flavorful. If we did it again, I'd come back and try a few different tapas to keep it on the lighter side before a night out. Service was outstanding and the wait staff was so knowledgeable in the entirety of a really extensive menu. read more
