Jaleo Bar de Tapas Polanco

“Overall, we enjoyed the atmosphere and the location. We particularly enjoyed the ribs, which were tender and perfectly slow-cooked, as well as the flavorful garlic shrimp. While the tapas were tasty, we found them to be somewhat overpriced. We did encounter a few disappointments during our meal. The wine used in the clericot was of noticeable low quality. Additionally, the caramelized onions served with the brie were cold, which unfortunately impacted the flavor of the dish. Finally, we found the patatas bravas to be only average.”

“Tasty Spanish tapas — we ordered several from the menu, and they were all very good, though nothing mind-blowing. Perfect spot to enjoy beers, wines, and pair them with a few tapas.”

“We had our first disappointing dinner in Mexico City here. We thought Jaleo was part of the José Andrés restaurant group based on the name and logo, but it turns out there’s no affiliation. The food was lackluster—meatballs looked and tasted like canned food. Prices were high, and the waiter pushed us to order way too much. With so many great options in CDMX, I’d skip this one.”

“Best spanish tapas I've had in years. Service was also outstanding. The boquerones, baby faves, and calamari were excellent.”

“Love this charming place. We dine weekday evening, so a bit loud for a nice conversational dinner. Their valet was a ripped off, use parking meters. Ensaladilla rusa was excellent. Ham croquettes were fine.”

“I chose this place bc it's quaint & seemed like a cute place to sit & chat for a couple of hours and that we did! The service was definitely better than the food, but the atmosphere was what I appreciated most. It's a cute, laid-back spot with great people watching and comfortable enough to sit and enjoy your company for a while.”

“In Polanco's midst, a gem doth lie, Jaleo by name, under the sky, A Spanish sanctuary, this place, transporting one through time and space. A merry feast of tapas grand, a culinary trip to Spain's own land. The Solomillo, tender and true, bathed in a sauce of flavor imbued, Each morsel tender, a pleasure pure, a dish in memory to endure. Each bite a journey, each taste a trip, from heart of Spain to eager lip. The Gambas al Ajillo, a marvel keen, fresh as a wave from ocean's scene, Cloaked in a garlic sauce so fine, the taste a dance 'twixt sea and brine. A dish of joy, of sea's sweet kiss, a testament to culinary bliss. Jaleo's charm, its soul, its art, wraps 'round thy senses, warms thy heart. Its service kind, its ambiance bright, Jaleo's a beacon in the night. A Spanish haven, a joyous spree, in Mexico's heart, for all to see. Thus, commend I Jaleo's fare, for none with it could ever compare, A Spanish tale in every plate, a dining experience truly great. So, hie thee hence to Jaleo's door, for food and joy forevermore! A postscript, friends, to my tale so merry, a regret that might seem quite contrary. So wondrous was each tapa, each dish, that to pause for a picture was an impossible wish. Before a snap could our repast grace, every morsel vanished, leaving no trace. So sorry, dear reader, no image to see, but trust in my words, 'twas a feast fit for thee!”

“Very lovable and cozy place, the food tastes amazing but if you are hungry not really an option, drinks option are good, service is really good and the tapas flavor is amazing just a little more expensive that one could've expected”
