Jaleo by José Andrés - Authentic Spanish Tapas & Wood Fired Paella Grill - Las Vegas, NV, U.S.A.

 


Conveniently located on the third floor of The Cosmopolitan sets out to showcase the diversity Spanish cuisine on a lively menu revolving, for the most part, around modern tapas. Culinary mastermind José Andrés and his team bring the authentic flavor of a Spanish tapas restaurant to Las Vegas with the award-winning Jaleo restaurant, re-imagined to evoke the excitement and spectacle of Las Vegas. Along with signature tapas, the savory paellas, superb sangria, and a wide selection of the finest Spanish cheeses, wines, and sherries ensure that you’ll always find something wholly unique and exciting.




 At Jaleo, plates are designed to be shared. But these are not just any small plates. They’re the best authentically Spanish and local ingredients, simply prepared, and enjoyed with good friends and conversation.

Here is their menu:




I am very excited to try a variety of the menu items as this is my first time at an authentic Spanish Tapas restaurant.  As much as I want to order everything on the menu, it would be very difficult to eat all of it and I just ordered what I feel stood out.  Here is what we ordered:

 Jamón Ibérico de Bellota With Royal Osetra Caviar

Patatas Bravas

Calamares a la Romana

Mini Pepito de Ibérico

Gambas al Ajillo

Carne a la Navarra

Arroz de Pollo Y Setas
