Jaleo by José Andrés

second time dining here. my stomach was mildly upset after the second time but i’m not sure it was gluten exposure (might have been the sangria). will likely return as the food is great and servers are very knowledgeable about gluten

The gluten free menu was outdated however the server was very knowledgeable and was able to assist. The food was delicious and the cheesecake is hands down the best gf cheese cake ever made! I did not get sick at all after.

A nice Spanish Tapas restaurant in downtown Chicago. The waiter was very helpful with GF options. Since I was not alone the gluten items were still provided (breadsticks etc) but were separated.

This is a Spanish tapas restaurant. Plenty of gluten free options (dinner, dessert, and cocktails). Staff and kitchen are very knowledgeable about gluten allergies, including cross contamination, asking clarifying questions before giving recommendations. They took very good care of us, and the food is spectacular.

We visited earlier this week on the one cooler day, but we kept out outdoor seating and had the whole patio to ourselves! Our server mentioned they could accommodate my Celiac in creating a tasting menu for us, but we'd eaten too big of a lunch, so opted to create our own. We started with cocktails, which our server said were all GF. I wasn't a huge fan of the funky sangria, but my partner's old fashioned-type drink was lovely. The grenache wine we picked out for the rest of the meal was much better and paired with the goat/sheep cheeses, patatas bravas, carne asada, avocado salad, and burnt Basque cheesecake really well. I can't pick a favorite--all of the tapas were great and not a single one was just "okay". I wish we'd tried some of the seafood options but it would have been too much food for this visit. We had amazing service and I felt really safe eating the items since everything was marked with an allergy toothpick and our server was so knowledgeable. Overall a great experience, and we'll definitely be back since I didn't have any reaction afterward.

My server was very knowledgeable. Asked how serious my allergy was and when I said celiac he checked with the chef, had the kitchen change gloves and pans and the food was delicious. Even better that the happy hour tapas and sangria were $6-$8 each!

It was alright. Really chatty server that wayy over-sold the taste, quality, and quantity of food. I’ve lived in Spain and have experienced authentic Spanish cuisine; I would say this is not it. It was americanized: soggy, bland, and one texture. Got four very different tapas but they all tasted the same.

Service-wise: Took 20 min to get menus after we sat down, and food took for ever to arrive; it’s not like there was that much food to be served.

They do have a separate allergy menu. For a variety of allergies. Ask for it on your way in.

Very pricey

They have a large variety filled gluten free menu and my server was very attentive in telling us which dishes were gluten free when we told him I had ceiliac.

Delicious! I was able to do the tasting menu with GF mods and did not feel like I missed out on much. They’re able to accommodate other allergies on top of the GF need too. Amazing to get to join in on table fun without any worry at all about getting sick.

The gazpacho, the olive sampler (half gastronomic SO cool and memorable) and the pork steak were our favorites until dessert.

The burnt basque cheesecake is EVERYTHING, friends. Don’t miss it.
