    I first went to Jaleo in Vegas and this is my first time at this location. Service and food was excellent! My only comomplaint is that the garlic shrimp didn’t have enough garlic.

    We went for an early dinner and were able to save on some of the happy hour deals. All the food was delicious- the roasted cauliflower and apple/fennel salad were outstanding! Definitely want to go back.

    We have visited this establishment for years, the food is always consistent. The only thing is that this last time we learnt that the flauta Iberica was taken off the brunch menu, that was one of our favorites! (Please bring it back).

    Food was mediocre; not bad but uninspiring and lukewarm. We might return but it would have to be another’s suggestion.

    Food was awful and the server did not offer any substitutes. The octopus was recommended but not even edible! We left feeling ill and will definitely not return.
    Jaleo - ChicagoResponded on 8 December 2024
    Hello Leah, We're truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience at Jaleo - Chicago. Please know that we utilized your feedback for training with the server that attended to your table. We love the octopus, but understand that food is subjective. If you didn't enjoy it, the very least we should have done is remove the dish and offer to make something else for you as well as make the management team aware of the situation so that we could make amends. We apologize that your visit was far from what we strive to deliver. Best Regards, The Management Team
