    Food was great although I do wish the Riojana chicken was still on the menu. Service was fantastic. It was really cold inside last night. It would have been warmer outside with the heaters. We had a really nice family meal. Columbia remains a family favorite!

    The food portions were great. Plenty of food, well prepared. The only hitch is that my wife ordered white rice (versus fried rice or noodles). The rice was brought in a dish at the same time the soup and salad were served (about 20 minutes before the chef started cooking). We asked for a fresh dish, which they brought well before it was to be consumed. The bright spot of the evening was Kila - our table attendant. She was magnificent.

    Phenomenal dining experience at Jaleo. We opted for the “Eat Like Jose” tasting menu and were not disappointed one bit. Plenty of food, great variety, and special opportunity to try the best dishes the restaurant has to offer. Well worth the price, excellent value, and timely service throughout our entire seating. Highly recommend, especially first time visitors to sample the vast menu.
