Just getting to this review and can't agree more! We LOVE Jaleo! I agree it is not an ideal "family friendly" restaurant for all the reasons you both stated. As far as the service goes, we found that trusting in your servers recommendations 100% and you virtually can't go wrong. Can't wait to go back!
I agree with your score! I've had the chef's tasting menu, and most of the tapas dishes you tried. You've got to try the croquettes! It's one of the best restaurants in the Orlando area, and I go there every visit.
So glad you did Jaleo. We are going for my 40th birthday and have never been. I was concerned at your pre dinner chat but knowing its your highest scorer makes us happy in our choice. Enjoy your vacation!
The first time I went to Jaleo in May 2022, I said to my family, if I lived here in Orlando I would come here every week! It is excellent! We went back this past January, for the first dinner of our trip and it was wonderful yet again. So many options, you can eat as much or as little as you want. Service impeccable both times...so glad you enjoyed it too! The next time I go, I will be right there with you on Wine Wednesdays! Thanks for another great dining review!
Have never dined at Jaleo. Not exactly our type of cuisine. However, we do donate to Jose Andres's World Central Kitchen!! Such a great experience for you both!! Thanks for another wonderful review!! Still waiting for the Brunch series!!
I am drooling! We aren’t going there this trip, feels to challenging with a 4 year old, but I insisted that my sister and her husband go on their trip (they are getting a date night to see Cirque). I expect them to give me a full and honest report as they have been to Spain and love Spanish tapas!
we loved Jaleo. the stuffed pepper and octopus were great. But....the chicken croquettes.....chefs kiss! Those croquettes.....you gotta try them. Served on a faux pillow...unreal.Awesome place for date night.
Hi Dan & Leslie! I have to say I’m not a huge margarita fan however after watching this video I really want to try that margarita…salt foam what a great idea 💚 my countdown to Florida is on can’t wait!
We absolutely loved Jaleo… too many good things! We will for sure go back!
Good review, I love Jaleo!🥰🥰🥰

Happy birthday!!
Thank you so much, I’ve been meaning to go to Jaleo, now, you are giving me a reason to go ❤
Thanks! Just added Jaleo to my restaurants list for my next Disney vacation! Cheers from Brazil (where the food is out of this world).
Sounds great!

Definitely looking forward to wine Wednesday!!
I was waiting for your score but we just had the best time here in February. It was truly the best dining experience we had in Disney.
Soooo good!!
It sounds like a bucket list restaurant to add to my list!!!
Now I’m excited for the brunch series! (I hope Leslie wasn’t kidding about that. 😂)
Oh no, that’s happening!
You are both Terrific! Thank you!
Jaleo is my first restaurant of my WDW trips and I ask to sit by the water.
There's a brunch series in the works?! Can't wait!
Great review!

Would love to hear what they think!

Thank you 🤗
Agree about the croquettes!
@@kristinep6773 they are like nothing ive ever eaten. EPIC!

Have so much fun!
This sounds amazing! I’ve only done Pepe but not Jaleo. I’ll be sure to add it for reservations on my next trip.
Hope you enjoy it
I laughed when you asked your hubby if he liked the pan con tomate and he said NO. And he left it at that. Thanks for the review.
Actually, he said, "yeah." SMH
Agree that it’s great, especially for adults or non-picky eaters. Yummy but best for a special meal (not cheap, lol).
Agreed
Great video! 6/6 😜😂
😂😂
Might you not be full because you didn't actually eat a lot of food? Tapas is a terrific way to spend tons of money and get just a little food...
