Jaleo - Arlington

This was my first restaurant experience of José Andrés and I loved it absolutely! The ambience was fun and the decor was beautiful. In addition, the service was very friendly and helpful. We came here in the restaurant week, which was a fantastic way to taste several dishes, we will definitely be back! Fantastic food, with my favorite being the Aroz con setas (a creamy rice with mushrooms), but I did not have a bad dish so you can not go wrong what you try.

AMAZING!!!! The food is really good. The ambience was so relaxing. Excellent customer service. Conveniently located. Modern, beautiful and perfect for appointments. You do a good job with Covid guidelines. Fair prices and good portions. I really recommend it. I'll be back.

Grab yourself an outdoor seat and enjoy the sounds of Crystal City as you eat some of the finest tapas in the US. The only thing they do that I'm torn about is they require proof of COVID vaccination to sit inside...if you don't have proof, or don't want to share that personal medical information, you can sit outside.

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.

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!
