    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.
