Jaleo Crystal City

Thank you to the staff, and the great Chef Jose Andreas for a wonderful meal at Jaleo! A taste of Spain here in our Nations Capital, SO good!

I have been reluctant to go out to eat in a restaurant but a friend was in town for work and we chose to meet at Jaleo's. I couldn't have been happier. The staff did an excellent job with the setup related to Covid precautions. Definitely recommend as a safe place to eat at currently!

Birthday dinner for our daughter. The food, service and restaurant were excellent. We will be back.

Always great!

Food was def overpriced. Not worth it. Won’t be back

I hadn't been back to Jaleo since the pandemic began - felt very safe eating in the restaurant - they have done a great job at spacing people apart and taking safety precautions. The food was every bit as fantastic as I remembered it and our server was truly outstanding.

Sitting outside was a pleasant experience on a 50 degree day!

Overall excellent foods except for pan con chocolate. Not a fan of salty/sweet desert with olive oil dripping. Service was outstanding. Can fuet be added to the menu?

Excellent food, first-class service, and great drinks. Highly recommend for meeting friends, family, and a date. Ingredients are simple, high quality, and plentiful. Good wholesome food.

Fantastic food and great service

Phenomenal service! Excellent food!

The food is always amazing; we had the calamari, prosciutto, and paella for 4 people. Our waiter, Mark, was a blast, and the manager ensured we were enjoying our experience. Thank you for the enjoyable time and great food and drinks!

Also a great experience even during Covid. Tonight was outside with a heater, socially distanced....probably our last shot at being outside....65 in December? So, it will be back to carry/out...the good is still good.

It was a beautiful evening on the patio. Although a little chilly, for a December evening, we could not have asked for better. The food was great and the service was wonderful! I highly recommend Jaleo.

The physical vibe of the space is chain restaurant-like, but the food and service are definitely unique.

Ordered cauliflower, bacon wrapped dates, potatos bravas, steak, and banana ice cream. Ample food for two. Ordered beer and wine, of which the server was very knowledgeable. My fav was the cauliflower. The addition of olives was unique and delicious. My dinner partner’s fav was the potatos bravas. The banana ice cream was served with a banana bread biscotti, which was a nice touch, and overall delicious.

Service was excellent. Staff is clearly well trained.

Generally, a very good experience.

Fantastic service and food. Very helpful and patient service from our waiter. All the food was delicious.

Social distancing was easy enough on a slow chilly Monday night. Looking forward to post Covid hustle and bustle... under the current set of circumstances this meal was a real treat.

(OK... Jaleo is always a real treat)

Great food and supporting a true humanitarian is priceless.

Great food and a variety of options. Drink menu additionally was wide spread. Even with COVID restrictions, it was safe and was a wonderful night for my girlfriend as we celebrated her birthday.

Excellent tapas, the wines list is excellent, my granddaughter took the guava sorbet for desert, it was really really good

As always, a good experience. Outdoors, socially distanced, fun experience

Great food, comfortable outdoor seating.

Even though the food was good, I have been to Jaleo in Orlando which is much better. I made a reservation a couple of days before and I was treated like I didn’t have one even though the waiter saw my reservation in the system. That was very disappointing!

Potatoes were almost raw (barely done) and all the fried food tasted like Fair Food.

Jaleo never fails to deliver on excellent food and great service. We enjoyed their outdoor dining and hope that we may continue to do so for many more weeks.

Great experience

The food was fantastic! We did the restaurant week menu and everything was great. We appreciated the varied options. Not cheap but worth it for the portion sizes which were larger than I would expect from a tapas restaurant. Our server was fantastic and the restaurant honored our request for outdoor seating and clearly took their Covid precautions seriously, which I greatly appreciate. We would love to return!

wonderful food! our waiter and "sommelier" were very friendly and knowledgeable

We just love Jaleo and were so excited to get to have their tasting menu during Arlington Restaurant Week. We've never had a bad dish there, service is always excellent, and there is plenty of outdoor seating. All the items are tapas sized and reasonably priced for such a high quality restaurant. We look forward to trying the paella as well.

Jaleo is amazing as always. During restaurant week is a lovely bonus. Yum

Excellent service, we had the restaurant week special. All the food was fantastic. Great outdoor seating. A very good experience!

We always enjoy our time at Jaleo! Great food, great place!

The food is fantastic! Flavorful, small plates, and a lunch menu with 4 plates for 20$ is perfectly priced! The only complaint I have is: please cut the bread all the way through. I end up looking like an animal trying to tear through the crust to get my one piece of bread. 😊

We took a friend to dinner on her birthday, eating outdoors. We hadn't realized it was Arlington Restaurant Week, but were happy with the deals. But that means we revisited old favorites, rather than trying any new dishes. The food was excellent, of course, and service remains great and fully attentive to COVID protection. The one negative of hte evening is ambient noise....In the first months Jaleo opened the outdoor area, there was not a lot of street noise. Now, traffic is heavier, and the noise level has gone up considerably.

Always one of my favorites for meals and even happy hour with friends. The ultimate G&T is the best ever... please keep this on your menu, forever! The people are also wonderful!

I am a fan of Chef Jose and it was my first time at this location. Visited it for restaurant week. Food was ok on restaurant menu but most items were not hot when served. Sangria wasn’t great. Waiter wasn’t too attentive. Had to find him to get check. I probably won’t be going back again.

My friend and I enjoyed a fantastic lunch. We loved both the food and the wine. I have vacationed in Spain and told my friend that dinning at Jaleo was reminisce of my time spent in Spain. We had a wonderful experience at Jaleo.

Great outdoor seating

they made sure social distancing was maintained. Service was really excellent. We ordered the tapas and all were very good.

Excellent food, service and dining experience! Always a joy to come here. The noise leve was high due to a nearby idling truck, nothing Jaleo could do about that!
