Best Spanish Restaurants in Potomac

Small plates only, which was fine for us. Pacing of the plates was decent. Quantities of items was not clear on the menu so complicated when dividing amongst a group - (I wish these tapas type resturants would have some scaling factor with these plates - one order too small, two is too many - but that is a general complaint). Everything we tried was very good, and the drink menu was a nice surprise. We were in what I would assume was an event space/overflow room, which was not the best space for a small group dinner, but that is being picky. Recommmended.

We had been wanting to have dinner at Jaleo for the past few years and finally got to go tonight for my wife’s birthday dinner. Let me start off by saying that it lived up to and exceeded our expectations. We had the mid-range tasting menu with the sherry pairing and every bite was delicious. Our experience was enhanced by our server Carlos’ knowledgeable description of each course and each of the sherries. We look forward to coming back.

We're so fortunate to have Cubano's here. They make truly delicious and authentic Cuban food, and some of the plating is just beautiful. It's a very festive place and it's always fun to go there. Favorites are Lechon, Vaca Frita, Shrimp and Snapper. The Cuban chips and Arepitas are must haves. There are many other delicious choices that we try to get back fairly often to explore the menu.

As a celiac, really appreciated the wonderful gluten free vegetable paella!

This was an experience to remember!! The food was amazing and very well curated. I left not too full and certainly satisfied. I especially enjoyed the iberico and the prawn paella. We had the wine pairing which I can see why they won the sommelier guide, they were uncommon varieties yet and I appreciated the time and care they took to explain each course.
