    So good, you'll probably món. Jamón jamón is a Spanish tapas spot that relocated to middle-of-nowhere Henderson earlier this year. We're talking the entire plaza looking deserted on Sunday afternoon. I mean it's so far that even the chef had trouble getting there on time. I'll be here all week. Well, no, but I actually do wish I could be here the whole week after seeing the values on their weekday happy hour menu (M-F 3-5pm). Sadly, the best we got was a complimentary order of their bread ($8.00) for our wait. On the plus side, that was one of my favorite parts of the meal. The bread has a nice thick crust and good levels of chewiness throughout. The freshly grated garlic and the sweet tomato jam are great accompaniments too. You may be well-served to save some bread to enjoy with some of the tapas. The Mixed Olives ($10.00) are really potent on their own, but the bread and tomato jam worked well to temper them, and the Salchichon Bellota ($16.00) also worked well with bread alone or bread and garlicky oil. FYI, there is a mild acorn note on that sausage, although it's not as prominent as in a Jamón Iberico (which I skipped out on this time). These items, as well as the flavorful but slightly salty Mushrooms Al Ajillo ($15.00), would also work better if we'd ordered an alcohol pairing of some sort The best bite was actually the Cubanito ($16.00), a mini Cuban sandwich that was amazing in every way. The crispy bread, the savory roast pork, the mustard and pickles were absolutely symphonic. I shy away from superlatives like this, but it's really the best Cuban I've ever had. Coca de Higos ($16.00) is a very fun small app too. Described as a Spanish pizza, it's got Jamón Serrano, goat cheese, arugula, and fig glaze on a crispy cracker crust. The Mussels ($19.00) were interesting. They're tinier than most and don't taste especially better on their own, but the orange, vermouth, and spices are a drastically different and more subtle flavor profile than what I'm accustomed to. Dipping the bread in the sauce worked well here too. Last but not least, the Crispy Pork Belly ($21.00) showed up. It was not quite the star of the meal as I'd hoped as it was a bit tougher than other crispy pork belly preparations I've had in the past. We're talking like both my friend and I were struggling to cut through that sucker with a serrated knife. On top of that, the rice was a bit dry. The mustard sauce worked so well with the pork though, once we got it into smaller pieces. It was good overall. The music was mostly Christmas-y since that's just around the corner. Service was solid, which was expected because only one other table showed up while we were there, so hopefully word gets around and more people discover this restaurant. Jamón Jamón is truly a hidden gem and is worth a trek for something far from the usual. I'm looking forward to returning for happy hour and to try some of the bigger entrees (paellas, steaks) and desserts some time.

    A hidden gem in the Henderson neighborhood! By far, the best Spanish restaurant in Las Vegas! After traveling to Spain, we're still amazed to have such an authentic Spanish spot so close to home. We've had dinner here several times, but this visit was all about happy hour--and it was fantastic. We shared tapas and Basque BBQ skewers, starting with a refreshing cantaloupe soup and the best pan con tomate. The skewers--pork collar, chicken, ribs, mushrooms, and peppers--were all cooked to perfection and super flavorful. Everything was made to share and paired wonderfully with a crisp bottle of white wine. Don't let the industrial, shopping-store exterior fool you. Inside, it's bright, warmly decorated, and filled with great Spanish music that sets the vibe. Seriously delicious food, beautifully executed. Highly recommend stopping by--especially during happy hour!

    One of the best things I ever ate: Crispy Pork Belly from Jamón Jamón in Henderson, Nevada. Nom nom! Other notes: - Jamón Jamón focuses on traditional, authentic, and comfort Spaniard gastronomy. The chef is from Spain. He attended culinary school in France, and he has worked in several Michelin star restaurants in Spain. - Beets are one of my favorite vegetables, and I definitely plan to order the golden beets from here again. I like that this recipe is both sweet and savory and has textural contrast from the garnish of nuts. - I visited their old location on W Sahara with my family a couple years ago. This new location in Henderson is more spacious and more modern with an industrial chic aesthetic. - Service was satisfactory. - The restaurant is well off the beaten path in the Calico Ridge neighborhood in Henderson. It's a great option if you prefer a more laid back setting or want a memorable meal without having to wait in line for hours or book a reservation months in advance.

    So many cool books in the entry

    Taste of Spain! Takes me back to our trip to Spain last year.... minus the cramped tables and tiny spaces that most great tapas places are found in Spain (at least the ones I found to be exceptional.) This place is spacious... and so should your belly be. There are so many yummy eats to try. I'm so happy that this is not far in case I need to feed my hankering for tapas and Spanish flavors. Anyways.... it was only our first visit but we left incredibly full and excited to return. They maximize dining space so the entry is pretty small. However ... you are welcomed with a huge black horse. It immediately captures your attention. (I love it!) They even have patio seating... but this summer is brutal in SoNV so sitting outside when it's still 109 degrees at 6pm is still a little painful. Thankfully they have a large, indoor, air conditioned dining area. We got here about 5:40pm on Thursday .... and only about 4 tables were sat... when we left about 7... most of the tables inside were filled. Definitely a fun place to bring family and friends who are adventurous eaters that want to try new dishes. I was impressed with how extensive their menu is.... Tapas of course. They also had a large selection of steaks, regular sized entrees, several different paellas and even flatbreads. Really something for everyone. Their wine list... Oh man... it's going to take me some time to get through it. I love trying new Spanish wines and their list is fantastic. Not the run of the mill wines here. You are not finding these at Albertsons nor Smiths. Most of the list is BTG... meaning you can try a couple different ones to pair with different dishes. They also have Sangria but I didn't try it this time.... next time. We thoroughly enjoyed the following: *House made roasted peanuts - no salt... it makes for a nice little nibble while you wait for your dishes to come out. (They come out as they are finished and really in no particular order if you order them all at once.) * Tomate con pan - piled high with sweet, flavorful tomato meat - the bread was a little too thick for my liking... I prefer the thinner, crustier bread we enjoyed while in Barcelona * Boquerones (white anchovies) - served on bread (same bread as above) I first tried these in Spain and now try them everywhere... of course, they are fishy... but not the super oily, salty, fishy kinds most people are thinking of. These are milder and make a great snack! * Jamon Serrano - you can't go wrong. It melts in your mouth. I mean... if you are not super hungry... Jamon and a Rioja and it's almost a perfect meal. *Escalibadas (fire roasted peppers, onions in a delectable sauce) *Mixta Paella - chicken, shrimp, chorizo - savory, succulent, incredibly flavorful. Looking forward to trying their other paellas. KEY NOTES: *Peanuts are on every table so if you are super sensitive or are highly allergic, be warned. While you can have them remove the peanuts from your table, it's entirely possible the tables around you will be eating peanuts. *Happy Hour 3-5 daily *Open for lunch and dinner *Closed Monday *Located in what seems to be a deserted, Mediterranean strip mall. Don't let that deter you.

    This review is based on a single visit on 7/10/24. - Decor: I love it. An amazing Moooi horse lamp greets you immediately open entry. They have an open kitchen and high ceilings, which is great. - Menu: Lots of great options - including plenty of vegetarian ones. They also have some nice happy hour deals that end at 5 PM. - Food: DELICIOUS and generous - great value! My party of two had the following items and had leftovers: beet salad, croquetas pollo, pan con jamon, albondigas, and gazpacho. I enjoyed every item immensely, but ESPECIALLY the albondigas which were so tender and flavorful as well as the gazpacho, which was topped with crunchy croutons and beyond refreshing on a hot day. - Service: Friendly and on it. We were given fresh plates before we even realized we wanted/ needed it, our glasses were never left empty, and someone ran out to look for me when I absent-mindedly left without my bag. This place is truly a gem. If you have been thinking about eating here, go!!

    I have shared a review when I first came here so I hope this doesn't erase it! Food Love the datiles rellenos (bacon wrap dates with cheese), the Brussels sprouts and mussels Service I go during off hours so I get to the entire teams attention. And everyone is friendly. I miss seeing the owner's daughter with the best nails. Ambiance I am of Spanish decent so I am bias. I love my heritage and when in lived there.

    Delicious and amazing flavors from Spain. Our first time by recommendation and it was worth it. Service was friendly and ambience is nice with some good background salsa music

    Datiles Rellenos

    One of the best restaurants I have ever been to! Service was great, food was excellent, and the ambiance is clean, open, and relaxing to enjoy your food. If you have questions--ask them! They are more willing to answer. If you don't know, tapas are smaller plates to be shared (my definition). We had their sangria which paired well with our food. & I think the quality and deliciousness is worth the money. The location is interesting as if this restaurant was elsewhere, I speculate it would be much better. They are absolutely a hidden gem. 1000/10 will recommend to everyone and definitely coming back! Support local business!

    We came here for lunch. Food was excellent. We ordered the artisan bread, the Apollo Al Ajillo Amish chicken and the steamed mussels. Everything was amazing and the combination of herbs and spices was unlike anything we had ever had before. Definitely one of THE best hidden gems in town. Excellent friendly service and loved the Spanish ambiance.

    This is a new and also updated review of Jamon Jamon. I first visited Chef Rafa's previous location Jamon Jamon Tapas.com few years ago (Reviewed here) and announced their relocation. We visited their previous restaurant just before their move, but some fave menu items were not available because of inventory due to relocating. Although we were sad we discovered new delicious items. We waited patiently for their new location to be completed, and hoped they'd be open on our previous trip to Las Vegas, but the new restaurant was few weeks away from grand opening. But FINALLY over this past Labor Day Weekend we made it! And decided to stop by on the way home back to L.A. and so happy we did! New restaurant is looks great! Very clean establishment, comfortable, and welcoming. Although I miss the picnic baskets at the end of the tables at the previous restaurant, this has more a modern feel. We arrived at mid-lunch time on Tuesday after the holiday weekend and wasn't too busy. Was greeted immediately with warm welcome. Never had a bad service experience with this place, always was great. We had questions on menu items and changes since our last visit but the waitress was very helpful and informative of the dishes we inquired about. Order the sangria and it's just as delicious as last time. So refreshing here and personally my favorite sangria I've had. On to our orders, started with the Pan Con Jamon - classic and rich flavor with the fresh tomatoes, amazing olive oil and the Jamon great as always. Next came the star of lunch the Crispy Pork Belly - we had this on our last visit at the old location and I've dreamt of it since. Cooked to perfection crispy outer skin, tender meat, in a bed of amazing flavorful rice. 5/5 dish for me. Next came the Bread of the Day, accompanied by fresh bulb of garlic being grated on a textured ramekin before being topped by olive oil for dipping. And lastly the Gambas Al Ajillo, craving this dish already. The shrimp were large and cooked perfectly sitting in a sauce mixed with cooked in olive oils mixed in with garlic and roasted chili . Used the sauce to drizzle over the pork belly rice...chefs kiss. I do think this is my number one restaurant and meal to have. I wish nothing but success for this restaurant and hope they do well here in their new location. I gave Chef a big thank you acknowledging his great meals. Thank you Chef Rafa I hope to visit soon again!

    We've had dinner here a couple of times now and we love them. Somewhat tricky to find, Google maps is a little off with its directions, but don't give up because they are worth a few extra u-turns. The restaurant itself is very nice and comfortable. The decor really gets you in the mood for some Spanish cuisine. The service is prompt and friendly. The staff seem like wonderful people. The food is some of the best we've experienced in the Henderson area. There are a few stand out restaurants in Henderson and this place is one of them. It is a little pricey, but the experience you will have is fantastic.

    Salad, ceviche
    Michelle L.

    This is a TRUE hidden gem. The food is out of this world it's so good. 100% worth every penny. I tasted things that I had never tasted before and was surprised at how much I enjoyed every item. The highlight was the scallop ceviche that was paired with mango and taro chips. The Cuban sandwich was simple but so tasty with a deep smoky flavor and balance. I loved my sangria, the service and my overall experience. My only issue is that I wish the ambiance/decor matched the food/prices. I think if they made the restaurant more aesthetically pleasing/moodier it would really put them on the map. Can't wait to go back!

The atmosphere is incredible--the theme, décor, and colors perfectly reflect the restaurant's name and create such a fun, welcoming experience. We loved taking a trip down memory lane with the music and all of the nostalgic DJ-inspired touches. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch from beginning to end. What stood out most was the owner. She made it a point to ensure every guest was enjoying their experience.

One of our party said they wanted room temperature water instead of iced, server said they don't normally have that, but he eventually brought some, never brought the hot tea we ordered though. Pretty good selection of vittles. Egg and carb heavy IMHO. We really wanted some fruit, but that never came around until we were almost ready to leave. Almost all the hot items were served almost lukewarm. Probably due to the fact we were at one end of the dining room and the servers came in from the other end and made their rounds. Selection was pretty good , but I was craving either bacon or sausage and I never saw any making its way to our table. It did seem that by the time the servers got to our table, their trays were pretty close to empty. So maybe mixing it up a bit and starting at different corners with each rotation? But the food was good, definitely brunchie . Standouts to me were the egg benedict's (two kinds) . And the yoghurt and fruit and the berry dish. Other diners at the table thought the mini burgers and the grits were good. (The grits were too creamy for me, but that is just a personal preference) Other diners liked the flatbreads and the ubi pancakes. They do have a bottomless beverage option as well, and our server happily had the bartender prepare a couple to go drinks before we left. Final opinion, still a good deal and alternative to the buffet, especially with respect to lines and wait times... We'll be back of course, still need to get my applewood bacon.

Drinks: FINE, YOU?: It's an Old Fashioned and it was delicious. PIPER'S CHOICE: My wife likes her Espresso Martini creamy and a little bit on the sweeter side. This has more of a stiffer espresso forward taste which kinda put her off. Apps: CRISPY CHICKEN SKINS: Fried chicken skin with honey dip? Who knew that would work!? My wife and I loved it. "DEVIL'S" EGG: First time trying caviar and I think it pairs pretty well. BACON BURGER: My daughter finished it I'd say she like it! Main Course: BACON BURGER: My daughter got this and it was a thumbs up. No notes. COCOA-ESPRESSO NY STRIP: Nice sear crust with a perfect medium-rare. Great flavor with no burnt after-taste from the crust. SHORT RIB STEAK: The meat itself is very tender but with the pepperoncini it got my head scratching . When I think of pepperoncini I'm thinking of Italian subs or pizza? Does it work? I guess? They put the check inside a softcover novel which is pretty cool. In the pages were notes/comment from patrons. Could't help myself and got in on the fun!

    I was not expecting a restaurant in a casino to be this good. My friend and I stopped at 8 East…read morebefore seeing the Backstreet Boys and were seriously impressed. We ordered the brisket fried rice, which I can see why is their most popular dish, plus the cucumber salad (how is a cucumber salad THIS good?), bok choy, sizzling shrimp, steamed short rib dumplings, and pork belly bao. Everything was excellent. My friend also got cocktails, which she loved. Our waiter was super cool and attentive without being overbearing. We were honestly blown away by the whole meal. Definitely one of the best surprises of our Vegas trip.

    Very good restaurant if you're craving Asian food. I came over here massively hungover and this was…read moreexactly what I needed. Great decor, ambience and staff. Very attentive and friendly. We got the brisky dumplings, pan seared. I Was expecting the small din tai fung sized ones with little filling, but these were FAT dumplings, with good amounts of brisket inside. WE got the brisket fried rice - also very good, and the garlic noodles. I really liked the char that the noodles and rice had. Only thing for me is that the fried rice and noodles seemed to have a little too big much oil in it. I don't think that's an indictment on 8 east itself, but more of a general Chinese/Taiwanese cooking method. But other than that, I would certainly come back again.

    I went to Vegas for a girls' weekend with June K. and Melissa K., two of my best and oldest…read morefriends. 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.
