Jaleo has my heart! When I first dined @ Jaleo back in the 90s, I knew this would be one of my favorite restaurants. However, over the years, it has become my "favorite" restaurant hands down--no competitition. Whenever I'm asked "where do you want to go" my answer if always a resounding Jaleo! The Sangria, the Sangria, oh my the Sangria. I could go there for breakfast and still order the Sangria. I love a restaurant that stays constant with their menu and atmosphere. Everytime I go, I'm guaranteed to have a wonderful time. Keep doing what you're doing and I'll keep coming back.

• Pros: Tapas, Sangria, Relish
• Cons: N/A, N/A, N/A

Small dishes, large crowds at this downtown Spanish eatery.

The Scene
Located next door to the Shakespeare Theater and a few blocks from the MCI center, Jaleo is teeming with activity almost every evening. Specializing in tapas, the restaurant rewards curious diners with scores of options and seasonal specialties. The flexibility of the tapas approach makes it a fun place for groups and families, giving everyone a chance to taste many things but still hoard a few favorites. There's also a bar area, with an extensive wine list and homemade sangria.
