What Makes It Special

Jaleo by chef Jose Andres is the original Jaleo, opened in 1993, and the longest-running fine Spanish restaurant in Washington DC. The same kitchen that runs Mercado Little Spain in NYC powers the Penn Quarter flagship, with regional Spanish cuisine across tapas, paella, sangria and the Iberico charcuterie program. The bar has TVs that run major Spanish matches when the calendar lines up.
