| - If you're looking for avant-garde Spanish cuisine in the form of a passionately-designed tapas menu, then look no further once you lock eyes with Jaleo.
Chef José Andrés' delivers, as promised, in this Cosmopolitan Las Vegas-based branch of the original Metro Washington DC location, which has earned respect as a local institution. You might have caught a glimpse of the chef in the Travel Channel's Washington DC episode of No Reservations featuring his exclusive artsy haunt: Minibar. The chef not only has an incredibly passionate streak for quality ingredients, but he truly shines in culinary innovation and personality while providing an undeniably eclectic ambience that perfectly compliments the menu.
The spirit of Spain is infused into every detail without coming across with the superfluous kitsch one may discover at any Strip establishment. While often busy, and almost impossible to have a quiet conversation, Jaleo offers a dining experience filled with enough energy to keep your attention without pushing you into sensory overload.
Jaleo, in short, offers a remarkable mixture of tapas, as well as the expected paellas, a noteworthy selection of Spanish wines, cocktails with character, and a kick-ass sangria.
Additionally, you will be greeted by enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff with terrific, and timely, presentation. Created in 1993 by Chef José Andrés, Roberto Alvarez, and Rob Wilder, Jaleo has not only made a name for itself in DC, but it is slowly coming-of-age as a formidable competitor in the Las Vegas dining scene. Be warned, Jaleo packs enough fiery punch to knock out any other tapas joint in Las Vegas. Bring your appetite, as the sensuous Jaleo aims to both satisfy and impress.
