- AAngieNew Orleans / Louisiana •11 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI have been eating at Jaleo since 1995, and even though I don’t live in Dc anymore, I must eat at Jaleo each time I visit. And the food never disappoints. They also have excellent Spanish wines, which are not easy to find in the US.More infoJaleo - DCPrice: Expensive• Spanish• Penn Quarter•4.7

- AAishaNew York City •6 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoSome members of my party were late and the restaurant waits to seat you until everyone is in attendance. They were very kind to hold our table well past the reservation time. The two waiters were thorough in their menu explanations. They were attentive, timely, and friendly. It was one of the best dining experiences I have had in DC in a veryyyy long time. The customer service was top-notch. Food was great too. We ordered an assortment of appetizers and entrees. Everything everyone had was delicious.More infoSuccotash PRIMEPrice: Moderate• American• Penn Quarter•4.6
