Have a separate menu marked with what people with different allergens can eat. Server not super knowledgeable on celiac and asked if cross contamination would be an issue. Food was okay and seemed overpriced
This was a nice evening out. They had a gluten free menu that marks gluten free, vegan, dairy free etc. Nice atmosphere. I ordered scallops with pine nuts which were FANTASTIC! Also tried the pork sausage and white beans, a little too much garlic on beans for my stomach. Also tried my friend’s chorizo and mash potatoes, it was very good. Overall, lovely place and easy gluten free options! Red Sangria was amazing as well.
Food was great, and the staff was very knowledgeable. Great experience, and I did not get sick!

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.
They have an allergy specific menu but still we got crackers on our dish that were not gf. The food was tasteless. Seemed like they have switched chefs or trying to cut corners. The food used to be much tastier
Cannot recommend enough. Really great food, and the staff was able to tell me what is and is not GF. It seems like all José Andrés restaurants have allergy menus online which is very helpful. Food is delicious, environment is fun, and drinks are amazing!
Also, they have great restaurant week deals!
Enjoyed a delicious safe dinner! Our waitress was knowledgeable - immediately asked if I needed to avoid cross contamination and gave reminders on anything we got that was my GF. Would recommend!
There is nothing on the brunch menu that is GF but you can order off the entire menu during brunch service. I had the Spanish tortilla omelette and a salad. Ask for the allergen menu and everything is marked.
Our server, Nicholas P., was meticulous about our celiac needs (and he was a delight in general). There is a separate allergen-specific menu that was very helpful. And the food is great.
They have a well marked menu but be sure to ask questions. We ordered the arroz con leche, which is marked gluten free, however it’s made with Rice Krispies. The server didn’t realize that malt is made from barley and barley is gluten. I’m assuming someone in the kitchen knew to tell her to tell me there was malt, but it’s still incorrect on the menu.
So good! Make sure you get the cauliflower! Mushrooms were a little too salty for me but good! The salmon was cooked perfectly. So tender!
Great experience related to celiac (they even brought my daughter silverware washed separately). She had the steak and really enjoyed it. I was disappointed in the food in particular the tortilla espanola which I was so excited to have after not having for many years and it was not like a traditional tortilla in Spain (more like a thinner potato omelet) but maybe I didn’t order well.
Phenomenal food! There is a allergy menu and the staff was aware. Excellent option with great variety. Upbeat and fun atmosphere!
GF menu, served asked if celiac. Very knowledgeable staff. Food was excellent! Highly recommend. If here another day I'd go back.
Amazing find! Fully marked allergy menu (I’m GF/DF) and staff very knowledgeable. I was even able to take advantage of the $20 lunch special with their guidance. Wish I could come back for paella!
Did a tasting dinner and they accommodated to GF for the entire table. I was nervous that by round 10 or so they may have forgotten, but each dish they would note it was prepared gluten free. I was able to eat all 12 dishes and didn’t get sick at all! (Warning it’s a ton of food, but well worth the price to do a tasting!)
Great food! Allergy menu is well marked with lots of options! Staff was well trained and helped navigate the menu well!
Honestly the food was not all that. We ordered a salmon and it came out raw. The other food wasn't the best tasted precooked not all that fresh. The service itself wasn't that good either.
Less choices, and seasonal menu hadn't been updated so I picked some plates then had to change at the last minute. It was good overall.
Amazing GF. I'm celiac, very knowledgable and very considerate.
There is no place better than Jaleo. I absolutely love their gluten-free menu and go there whenever I can afford it (it's kind of pricey).
Food was yummy! They did bring out some plates with bread on the food even though they knew we could not have gluten but, they were quick to replace when we pointed it out. They cross contaminate in their oil but, it is marked on their gf menu so you are aware.
The food was good, however way overpriced. when you pay 8$ for two little piece of cheese, and I mean very little piece of cheese, I have issues.
Jaleo is great if you are gluten free! They have a very large, diverse gluten free menu and every staff member I've spoken to at multiple locations has been incredibly knowledgable about the menu options and how to avoid cross contamination. Tell your server you need to be gluten free and they will make sure that the chef knows to make needed changes to the menu item!
Tapas restaurant with a separate gluten free menu. They accidentally brought out a bread basket with the meal, but because I only have a wheat sensitivity and not celiac, there was no danger of cross-contamination. Otherwise great food!

They have a wonderful GF menu, with other allergens listed. The endive salad is amazing!!
Have a allergen menu. Described their willingness to address cross contamination like changing gloves etc. Great variety of items and staff was very helpful
We visited earlier this week and had a great experience. So many options! They gave me a separate allergen menu and everything was clearly marked. The waiter also asked if cross contamination was ok or not. I really appreciated their protectiveness. While I was the only one with the allergy, our group of 5 just ordered off of the allergen menu so that I’d be able to sample everything too. They had a separate fryer to prepare the patatas bravas in to make them gluten free too, which was awesome. Everything was delicious and I had no issues.
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
