Van Ness​のベストタパス・小皿料理レストラン

Tasty Mexican tapas. Deep robust flavors in every dish. Great variety of small plates goddess for a vegetarian and meat eater to dine together with no issues. Gluten free menu available. Save room for dessert.

Everyone greeted us warmly and directed us to the table. We sat in a private space large enough for our group and were introduced to our server immediately. The menu was clear and the choices all seemed exciting. We ordered drinks and chose the Pre Fixe option. The $60 set price was a good deal and all of the food was wonderful. We enjoyed the space, the food, and the service. I definitely recommend it.

During our 14-day trip to the U.S., Jaleo in Washington, DC, stood out as the best dining experience. The lively ambiance, excellent service, and exceptional food made it truly memorable. We started with the Jamón Ibérico, which was exquisite—rich, tender, and packed with flavor. The highlight was the Paella with chicken, which was expertly prepared and served tableside by the General Manager. This personal touch elevated the experience, showcasing the care and authenticity behind every dish. Jaleo perfectly balances traditional Spanish flavors with modern flair. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, making us feel welcome throughout the meal. If you're in Washington, DC, Jaleo is a must-visit. It was the culinary highlight of our trip, and we look forward to returning!

Always fabulous - and today was no exception. The kitchen was on fire - we were practically moaning with pleasure at every bite. I love the fried chicken and the beet tzatziki so much!!

Great food. Really good service. A little noisy, like any popular restaurant in the city usually is. We dine here every time we’re in DC.
