I went into Jaleo with high expectations. José Andrés is a legend, and I was eager to experience his take on Spanish cuisine. The food largely delivers, but the ambiance left me wanting more. For a concept with so much cultural richness to draw from, the space feels like a missed opportunity. The one exception is the "e" room, an intimate 9-seat chef's experience that is creatively and beautifully decorated. I peeked in but didn't dine there as it runs around $300 to $400 per person. We started with the manchego, and it set a great tone. The raw sheep's milk flavor is tangy and bright, and the young, creamy texture pairs beautifully with the Marcona almonds. Simple and well executed. The Bikini de Jamón y Queso Manchego was one of the highlights of the night. It's a pressed sandwich of Serrano ham, Manchego cheese, and caramelized onions, served with a honey mustard sauce on the side that is excellent. Sounds simple, tastes remarkable. The Cono de Sobrasada is a cute little bite that comes in a crispy brik pastry cone filled with sobrasada Ibérica, a hint of goat cheese, and a drizzle of honey. The honey is essential here because the sobrasada is bold and intense on its own. It's a fun tapa but I expected a little more from it. For tapas, the Berenjenas Fritas a la Malagueña is a must order. Crispy fried eggplant paired with a light yogurt, lemon, and honey espuma that hits a perfect balance of salty and sweet. Don't skip it. The undisputed star of the night was the Gambas al Ajillo. Shrimp sautéed in olive oil, garlic, and chili peppers with an aroma that pulls you in before the plate even lands on the table. Mouthwatering from start to finish. We closed with the Tarta de Queso, a Basque style cheesecake made with goat cheese, finished with honey and salt. I appreciated the concept and I knew going in that this would be nothing like a traditional cheesecake. That said, I've had better versions of this dish elsewhere. This one was slightly overbaked and a touch dry, and the flavor didn't quite reach the depth it promised. Overall a memorable Spanish dinner with some real standouts. Lean into the tapas, order the gambas without hesitation, and save room for the Bikini. For the location and the caliber of the concept, $120 for two without alcohol feels like a fair deal on the Strip. read more

Extremely crowded. The tables are crammed so closely together it is difficult to get in and out, making the ambience feel uncomfortable. My server was very nice but had way too many tables and they seemed to be spread across the restaurant. The tapas were good. The oysters escabeche were especially delicious. But, there were long gaps between courses and a long wait for the bill after I requested it. read more

This is a nice tapas place. Kevin who is our server made our restaurant experience extra special. Kevin was extra nice and very attentive to our requests. My friend celebrated his birthday. We got sangria, a pitcher and it was more than enough for all 4 of us. We tried and enjoyed this.fried eggplant with honey. They dates also were extra delicious. Octopus was also good. You can taste the charred grilled from the octopus. read more

Chef José Andrés' Spanish tapas restaurant is an absolutely fabulous date night experience! From reception to wait staff, everyone is cheerful, enthusiastic, and on it. They make the place, without a doubt The food is elevated tapas, fancier than typically found across Iberia. The vibe is exactly right; tables near each other, the whole village enjoying food together. The Cono de Caviar has smoky Amar Osetra topped with gold leaf, a fabulous bite that celebrates the ingredients. The Cono de Atun lets the fish shine through. Winners, both. The Datiles - dates stuffed with almonds and wrapped in bacon - have texture and taste dancing together in your mouth. The Chorizo Casero features an olive oil potato puree and a cider reduction that brought me back to the streets of Barcelona. The Calamares Romana - deep-fried squid with an octopus ink aoili - is deeply satisfying and makes everyone's mouth black for a satisfying amount of time. It's hard to exhaust this deep menu, and we left all the dishes celebrating the native acorn-fed Iberian pigs to the next visit. read more

The evening was excellent we were able to get a lovely table for three on short notice. Since we were able to get right in. We had the Garlic Shrimp Tapas! They were quite delicious with just the right spicyness! They devein and take the heads off the shrimp! The ambience was really nice because you could sit and watch them prepare the Paella and people watch at the cosmopolitan! I really liked the decor. The Paella of the night was sausage, Shrimp and chicken. I also shared a glass of Sangria which was delicious! I would highly recommend Jaleo and can't wait to return! read more

Jaleo - Paella - Spanish Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

OMG! My daughter, Muff decided to treat me to a Las Vegas trip for my birthday and we went to several restaurants that we've both been wanting to go to. Jaleo was one of the top restaurants that we wanted to go to and the restaurant exceeded our expectations. Jaleo is a beautifully appointed restaurant and the decor is amazing. Low-backed sofas were actually beautiful and comfortable and the way that Jaleo is decorated is in keeping with casual yet elevated Spanish tastes. And the wait staff service was stupendous. My daughter and I never had to ask for our table to be serviced; It just happened and the staff was extremely intuitive. And the food! I left the restaurant hoping and begging that Jose Andres would open a Jaleo in the Pittsburgh area. We had the Croquetas de Pollo, Croquetas de Jamon, Gambas al Ajillo, sangria and we had a black ink pasta dish (Rossejat Negra...or Not) that was superb. I can't wait to go back again to the Las Vegas Jaleo! Definitely worth the wait! read more

I needed some time to kill and it was almost dinner time when I found out Jaleo has something called 'Sangria Hour', which is their happy hour. It's daily at the bar from 5-7. I got there at about 6:40 and overall, it was a bit empty, and the bar was probably only about half full. I don't think a lot of people know about it because they don't advertise it. Even when I sat down and they gave me the menu, they didn't initially give me the Sangria Hour menu - I had to ask for it. Luckily, I still had enough time to order. I had: Patatas Bravas (fried potatoes with spicy tomato sauce and aioli) - these were a little basic. It could have used a bit more flavor - maybe more spicyness? Endibias Con Queso de Cabra y Naranjas (endives with goat cheese, oranges, almonds, roasted garlic dressing) - I normally don't like goat cheese but I really liked this. The oranges were refreshing, and I liked all the different flavors together Pan con Tomate (toasted bread with fresh tomato) and added Manchego cheese - can't go wrong with tomato bread! I probably could have eaten a few more of these They also have a few drink specials during Sangria Hour so next time if you're around during this time, check it out but just be sure to ask for the menu! read more

I made a reservation to celebrate our anniversary as we've dined at other Jose Andres restaurants around the country and they are always a great experience. This location was no different. The food, service, and atmosphere were on point. Situated in The Cosmopolitan near the infamous chandelier, it offers ample exterior seating and things to see/do if you show up a little early as we did. Kevin was our server who with a team of people ensured our evening was special. We were welcomed with congratulatory signage at the table and verbal recognition of our anniversary which got me some brownie points with my wife given the smile on her face. We tried the Patatas Bravas, Judias Romesco, Carne Piquillo, Chorizo Casero, and Pollo Ajillo. They were all delicious. These are smaller dishes that are shared at the table, not single person entrees so you have to account for food choices and number of people when ordering. Given that it was just my wife and I, it was pretty easy for us to pick and choose what we wanted to eat. My wife had a ginger beer which she seems to be enjoying more of these days given our fitness kick. I on the other hand had a margarita which I thought was good, but not great. I've had better for the cost and size which seemed to be overwhelmed with ice. I would likely stick with water or a non-alcoholic beverage in the future. To celebrate our anniversary, they brought us a dessert and champagne which we really didn't need but were very appreciative of the generous recognition. Overall, a $138 bill for two people which is a little steep but it was a wonderful memory. read more

Always a pleasure to visit any of Chef Jose Andres restaurants. The service/food and ambiance never disappoint. That chorizo has ruined me for life as I won't be able to eat any other sausage wout comparing to this one. It is a tapas place and each plate is enough for 2 pple to try. My husband and I ordered 4 dishes/2 sides and we were full enough. It was our anniversary and our server went above and beyond. Again. Always 5 star service every time we go to Jaleo anywhere. For our special anniversary dinner we received a comped toast except I don't drink alcohol so they made a special sparkly mocktail for me that was delicious. I just can't say enough good things about the service the food and the ambiance. It's not cheap but well worth the splurge! read more

Amazing food, fun shared plates and great vibes. Located upstairs in the Cosmopolitan Jaleo is a true gem. It is a little more casual thank your typical Vegas dinner. Our group did the tasting menu, omg wow!!! A few of the dishes that I thought I wouldn't like were actually some of my favorite (ex olive appetizers & I don't like olives). The tasting menu is 100% small portions, but don't be fooled it will fill you up. The staff was super knowledgeable about each course providing insight into each dish. read more

Came here for the Sangría hour that's daily 5-7pm. I came on a Saturday night around 6 and found a seat at the bar right away. Around 6:30 it got full though. We got the patatas bravas, cono de sobrasada, endibias con queso de cabra, Sangría de cava, but the real HH deal was they had was their special - a bottle of wine and cheese and meat board! This was a nice stop for the night and we had great service from our bartender JT as well :) read more

Lovely Spanish tapas restaurant at The Cosmopolitan! Came here specifically to eat Paella and called ahead of time to ensure that Paella Valenciana is available and it will be made with rabbit meat. Ambiance is modern, staff is friendly and menu is exhaustive. Bread and tomatoes were delicious. Spanish chorizo sausage and manchego cheese were good. Paella on the other side was a total disappointment. Expensive served in plate for one person for $80 is an insult. Considering this is the only reason I came here - I would consider my visit to be a total flop read more

If you can't fly to Iberia for their cuisine, you can find their elevated flavors at Jaleo, First of all, this is a large restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. It's beautifully ambiance added to the experience with low lighting and hues of red. Our server, Kevin, was outstanding. He was personable, attentive, made excellent recommendations and wicked fast considering the number of guests he serviced. Every single thing we ordered was art on a plate. We were a party of 4 with a couple people having food allergies. There is something for everyone here. We savored every bite and ordered seconds of the eggplant and beef. Even the person who doesn't like eggplant - loved it. We're looking forward to coming back for the experience and we'll definitely request to be seated in Kevin's section. All the staff - from the hostess who seated us, the additional servers delivering our tapas, the bartender and the manager who visited to ask how our experience was top notch. Mahalo Jaleo - we made forever memories here. read more

This was my second time here... and honestly it wasn't as good as the first! The service is always nice, they are helpful and always willing to guide you through the menu. But the food fell short this time. The pork secreto was the only thing I enjoyed this time. The paella was just ok, nothing spectacular. The shrimps also weren't a stand out for me. The appetizers we had were only ok and you honestly can't go wrong with cured meats. I hope this was just a bad night because I was really hoping to make this a go to spot for me. read more

This is my second time having Jaleo, first was in Orlando. Vegas is the second. I can confirm this restaurant is okay. Starter: Bread with tomato sauce. Sauce was sweet, which it wasn't so thin and bread was think, which it was a bit thicker. But good vessel for the prosciutto. Ham croquettes: Very underwhelming. I thought it tasted more like a ham pot pit. Aged prosciutto: was very delicious, not too salty. Patta's bravo: the sauce on the bottom was nice with sweet notes. But the potatoes could be crispier. Plating cause also be better Main: Bbq chicken: surprising the best dish. Moist and light char flavor Special chorizo and pork paella. Was okay. Missing the crispy side. Also wished the chorizo was cut it and crisped. Overall okay. I think I'll try another place instead of coming back. read more

Jaleo - Potatoes Bravas - Spanish Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

See all

Jaleo, located in Cosmopolitan in the Las Vegas Strip, had its original location in Washington DC. It was Jose Andres' restaurant that introduced tapas to the mainstream in the US. The menu is overwhelming with dozens of options. In order to keep it simple, we went with a tasting menu for $135/pp and we were given several courses including aged, cured iberico pork with caviar, hangar steak with roasted red peppers and red pepper sauce, pan con tomate with manchego cheese and cured meats, green beans with goat cheese and tomato sauce, and shrimp paella. Another special in July is their "Sangria Summer" and we were able to get a half pitcher of a sangria with strawberry/peach and it was refreshing on this 107 degree day. If you want to experience Spanish food, Andres' "Jaleo" is a nice introduction. What brings it down to three stars to me is that, with tapas priced at around $15 per dish, there's no way to get around the fact that it's quite expensive. In my book, when I know that I'm paying $$$$, expectations go up. We definitely had some nice flavor bombs in our tasting menu; however, the paella was one of their signature/keynote dishes and it was disappointing. Missing from the paella was that desirable soccarat (crispy rice). It did have strong flavor from shrimp stock, but the texture was one note. Nevertheless, I may come back in the future to try a handful of tapas and their delicious sangrias. read more

Everything in the happy hour menu was incredible. With a wide variety of tapas, the seafood was extremely flavorful paired with a delicious sangria and hand selected wine by their in house sommelier. The service and ambience was wonderful with extremely friendly staff, our servers name was Nina therefore if you get to have her help you, don't be afraid to ask for recommendations! The black ink squid calamari, potatoes and chicken fritters were very tasty. Can't wait to order them again and try others in future! read more

Love love love the sangria hour here! My husb & I have enjoyed it maybe 3-4 times and highly recommend. Always great, friendly bartenders and servers, gorgeous and lively Spanish ambiance, fabulous drinks and delicious small plates, perfect for ordering a few to incorporate a very diverse array of tastes and textures. My faves on the sangria hour menu are the Gazpacho, Cono, Patatas, Croquetas, and Pan (see pics for details). And of course the sangria! Very fun, boisterous vibe, with the chefs ringing a bell (or maybe gong?) to announce when the paella is ready. Highly recommend for anyone in or around the Cosmo looking for a delightful and delicious experience! read more

My wife and I went to Jaleo for our anniversary and it was PERFECT. The vibe of the place was light at 5pm for our early reservation but busy and fun by the time we left at 6:30. No rush just tapas at their finest. Service is what you expect for about $60-120 per person. Plates/service ware are cleared during the meal as needed. Drinks were filled and the staff checked on us as needed throughout. But the food! Oh man what a memorable meal! My wife got a lavender cocktail she loved. We ordered the gazpacho appetizer to split and then the Jaleo classic pre fixe tapas meal for $85 per person. Portions were large for tapas and there were 8 dishes and dessert in the meal. Everything was delicious but the highlights for us were: The gazpacho. The pan con tomato paired with iberico ham. The chicken croquettes. And the endive with goat cheese, orange and almonds. Oh and the best flan we've ever had... and I literally proposed to my wife with a ring on a flan; so trust me, we know flan. Worth every penny and made for a beautiful meal. read more

Everything was absolutely delicious!! Most of us are now familiar with tapas and this is just everything and done just a little bit better. The liquid olive is something truly special -- it's $4 a pop, so get one. The marinated olives were also just super good olives - even my friend who doesn't like olives liked them! Potatoes super soft and creamy inside. Eggplant super crisp yet light not greasy. Shrimp had crazy good butter garlic sauce. The pan con tomate was so simple but a MUST GET. The fresh tomatoes and the super crisp but still soft bread was perfection. The paella was brimming with flavor and toppings. The endives reminded me that I really need to eat endives more often (tho really it was a delivery vehicle for the goat cheese). The desserts were all excellent too! The flan was light and creamy, not eggy or too pudding like (since I normally don't like flan). The basque style cheesecake was not as soft as I normally like my basque cheesecake but the goat cheese and salt made it something different. None of the desserts were too sweet which was a pleasant surprise (and the ultimate Asian compliment; but americans be warned?) Service was super lovely. Loved the drinks we got too. All around great meal! read more

Exceptionally executed tasting menu from one of the all time greats, Jose Andres. We had the classic pre fixe menu and it did not disappoint in flavor or quantity. I can't emphasize enough how much of a value this route was for 4 people. All the food was amazing, fresh and flavorful. If we did it again, I'd come back and try a few different tapas to keep it on the lighter side before a night out. Service was outstanding and the wait staff was so knowledgeable in the entirety of a really extensive menu. read more

I must be a big fan of Spain (I have been to Barcelona) and Chef Jose Andres, because this is the 3rd of his restaurants that I have visited, to indulge in another of his tasting menus. Jaleo is housed in the Cosmopolitan and I was fortunate that their restaurant week tasting menu (11 - courses for $100) was still available. As always, Jose Andres is generous on two fronts. First, his tasting menu is not exorbitantly priced. Second, the food portions through out the menu, are very generous. This time, it was all the more so, where I could only totally finish just a few of the offerings. The tasting began with the Cono de Caviar. Followed by two courses together, the Pan con tomate con Manchego and the Jamón Serrano (18-month cured Serrano ham). Other dishes were as follows. Endiblas con queso de cabra y naranjasn (the best). Lascas de tartar de atún con crema de cana de cabra. Berenjenas fritas a la Malagueña. Chorizo casero. Gambas al ajillo. Ensalada verde. Paella del dia. And finally, the Flan al estilo tradicional de mamáMarisa con espuma de crama catalana. See my pictures for all these items. I must confess that for me, this was the first Jose Andres tasting menu that lacked a wow factor. Service, on the other hand, was good. read more

Absolutely delicious! Todo estuvo delicioso. Authentic flavors, our server Elitsa was amazing - we will definitely be back!

Not gonna lie, our first time Jaleo experience was so great that we decided to go to Spain for our 25th Anniversary back in September. Fast forward two months and we have been on the hunt for good (not just decent) paella. Living in LA, one would think that one can find at least one in the area, but with no such luck, we specifically went to Vegas for the weekend to eat dinner at Jaleo. Lovely hosts at the front greeted us with "Welcome Back" which was a very nice touch. We made reservations beforehand (don't forget, it's the main reason we were in Vegas) and were seated right away. Servers were friendly, place was nice and bustling as usual, but not too busy for a Sunday. We ordered the arroz Gambas paella for our main dish. We knew that would take about 40 mins so started out with 2 sangrias and some tapas to hold us over. We ordered the Boquerones (Spanish white anchovies served with bread)- delicious!!!! I can eat these all day long!! We also ordered the Gambas al ajillo (shrimp) and the patatas bravas (potatoes) which surprisingly took forever to come. The "kitchen" didn't seem to be backed up with orders so we just assumed that our server most likely forgot to put it in. In any case, she didn't say what happened, and our other two tapas eventually came to the table. Potatoes were great as usual. Shrimp was ok, probably would order something else next time (oh there will definitely be a next time!) Our large paella finally came to our tiny table and it looked divine! Shrimp was perfect, flavors did not disappoint. Garlic aioli, always a must! If I can have one minor disappointment, it would be that the paella didn't have the crunchy soccarat at the bottom. Don't get me wrong, we finished it and enjoyed it nonetheless. I think our server did forget because she gave us a complimentary flan (without really telling us why) and some yummy chocolate mousse cones. We very much appreciated the gesture and enjoyed every bit of it. Pls note that we didn't complain, nor am I complaining now. Everyone makes mistakes and it wasn't like we were going to be late for a show or concert so it was fine. It just would've been nice for the server to acknowledge the hold up with the food. But I digress... All in all, until Jaleo comes to Los Angeles, we will be going back to LV for their delicious food. read more

Excellent dinner for two last night. Had an advance reservation and were quickly seated. Like most Las Vegas restaurants the noise level is fairly high but we were seated towards the back which was better. Excellent server who answered all our questions and made several good recommendations. We had about 8 dishes from across the menu categories. Our favorites were the bread, the olives, pressed Jamon and Manchego sandwich. Did not like the shrimp dish. The Tinto sangria pitcher was very good. read more

We went here for a friend's birthday and had an amazing time. The menu is very extensive and is meant to be shared amongst people.

By the end, we were all full, but definitely made room for the churros dipped in chocolate. The paella rotates each day. The restaurant was large with lots of seating, although the restroom was outside in the main hotel area. read more

We stayed at the Cosmopolitan, so we found this Spanish chef driven place while walking on the 3rd floor. The red decor caught our attention. We checked the menu and decided to try chef Jose Andre's new concept The food was phenomenal, but I must say the services didn't match the same level. There were 2 hostesses. The one that later took us to the table was very friendly while the other who collected our information was somehow unfriendly It took less than 5 minutes to be sat, but 10 minutes went by before our server stopped to say hi. We ordered a mocktail and a glass of Spanish wine equivalent to Pinot Noir. A server assistant poured us water, then another brought us the mocktail. We placed our order - a cold Spanish famous soup, a sirloin, and the salmon. My wine finally came with my entree. The food was brought out by different people and at different time. I got my soup. Then the sirloin came, then 4 minutes later, the salmon finally arrived. To recognize our anniversary, our server brought us 2 cute little desserts, which was very nice of her. Most chef-driven establishments focus on food quality too much and do not care enough about the dinining room skills, which bothers me. They are both essential to the dining experience. Equally. For lack of par excellence of service expected, I took away one star, but still gave respected kudos to the culinary team. read more

It had been awhile since we had been to Vegas and I have been to Jaleo in DC so I knew I wanted to eat here again I admire Jose Andres and his work with World Central Kitchen. I love his podcast as well and I want to support businesses that are putting back good into the world Everything was perfect, from service to the food. We arrived early for our reservation and I asked if we could be seated early and we were. Service is at a leisurely pace and we had such a good time. I would like to come back with a larger group so we can try more things - we ran out of stomach space and couldn't finish the paella which made me sad and we didn't have a fridge at our hotel or I would have taken it. Our server was Zahari according to our receipt and he made sure everything for our special occassion was amazing I can't recommend this restaurant enough I also recommended this place to my boss a couple of months ago when he was in town for a show. He ended up there with a large group and everyone was impressed. Made me look good be wise I recommended it read more

Las Vegas is home to many restaurant franchises, including Jaleo by celebrity chef Jose Andres. Unfortunately what I have found common to these restaurants is that they are almost never as good as their original locations, and for me, Jaleo is no exception. Jaleo's Las Vegas location is on the third floor of the Cosmopolitan. The restaurant is in an open space, not at all isolated from the noisy area just outside of the restaurant. Overall, the experience I had at Jaleo wasn't great. I came here with my family to celebrate a birthday. From the first interaction we had with the host, we were not able to be seated for our reservation until about seven minutes after. Soon after, we were met with a waitress who really seemed to be having a bad day. She was passive aggressive and condescending, clearly getting annoyed when we asked for recommendations and needed more time with the massive menu. She was also keen to upsell items like the quesos and embutidos when we asserted that we only wanted one type. Not welcoming or hospitable at all. Portions at Jaleo are small, which is to be expected since they specialize in tapas. However, this also means that you need a lot of food to be full. Each dish doesn't seem too expensive, but considering how much each person needs to order for a sufficient portion, it really adds up quickly. The paellas are amongst the most expensive items, which are not even a generous portion for one person despite a 60 dollar price tag for the cheapest option. Speaking to the quality of the food itself, I was only happy with a few of the dishes we ordered. The croquetas were a highlight, with their crispy exterior and yummy filling. However, the presentation was extremely lackluster. There was no attention to detail, but rather just all scattered and thrown down on a plate over paper with no effort. No alignment or pattern. It kind of just felt like they didn't care. The only other real standout for me was the asparagus. I actually thought this was the best dish we had by a mile. The texture of the asparagus was great: having a slight chew while not being mushy at all, with a flavorful and tasty romesco sauce beneath it. As for everything else, the octopus was ok, having a decent texture but really lacked the crispiness that I was hoping for at first glance. The potatoes that it was served with were nothing special and the sauce was on the bland side. The patatas bravas were also decent, but again, I thought they could've been crispier on the outside. They were mushy, but redeemed by the aioli. Aside from these, the dish that disappointed me the most was the paella. In the open part of the kitchen, you can see paellas being rotated on massive cast iron pans over open flames. Also being a staple dish in Spanish cuisine, I was really excited to try the paella at Jaleo. We got a seasonal special chorizo y patata paella. I was so surprised to see yet another small portion for being around 80 dollars. Despite this, the taste was also mediocre. The rice was not crisped at all and the paprika flavor was underwhelming. The flavor in the chorizo was good, but was also a little mushy. All in all, I felt that the food was disappointing. Most dishes weren't bad, but were also pretty forgettable. And for how many we ordered, I was hoping to really enjoy more of them than I did. However, the combination of the mediocre food and the bad service are ultimately why I will stray away from coming back to Jaleo. Not one staff member wished a happy birthday or even seemed to know about it which was disappointing, and our server only came back to our table once between taking our order and delivering the check. These factors also had us decide against ordering dessert here and opting for somewhere else. The poor service really stuck with me and will continue to leave a sour taste in my mouth when I think of Jaleo. For being a famous flagship restaurant under a celebrity chef, I had higher hopes. read more

Back for more of Jose Andres' magical creations & did not disappoint. Tapas were creative, fun to eat & delish. Salmon crudo had great flavors & texture, chicken fritters was crunchy outside & creamy inside, served on a platter that resembled a chicken, very cute. The pleasant surprise this time was the avocado with cucumber & goat cheese salad. Avocado was fresh & buttery, goat cheese was very light, it was 1 of the best avocado dishes i ever had. Liquid olive's texture was magical but it was very salty & sour this time around. We also ordered this in Bazaar Meat 2 days later and it was more mild flavored. Grilled chicken thigh meat was kind of dry, flan was good Overall great dining experience, for a fraction of the costs at Bazaar Meat (tasting menu starting $215) you can get a good sample of Jose Andres' magic. read more
