Jaleo by José Andrés

The food was pretty good. The tapas were pretty expensive & not filling. Fun experience & atmosphere though. The waitress was very knowledgeable about gluten free & explained everything that was gluten free on the menu.

Great food. Pricey tapas, but they took my celiac very seriously. Everyone that came to the table mentioned it and most items couple be made GF. I had a salmon, shrimp and cheese/almond plate

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Menu marked up with allergens, server checked on my severity and then advised I avoid any of the fried dishes due to cross contamination. Thought this was excellent Food was delicious and sensible sizes. It is expensive though

Allergy menu and friendly helpful staff. Great meal!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was knowledgeable and helpful. They have an allergen-marked menu but we did order one item that said it was gf and wasn’t (one of the cheeses comes with a cookie). Our waitress confirmed it was not gf and made sure to put it on a separate dish for us. (P.S. I’ve been to the location in Crystal City and that one has many more gf choices and of course better pricing!)

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

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!

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.
