Visited with my wife while in wdw. Pretty setting, we had reservations which we were promptly seated. Our waiter was very enthusiastic although we had never been to jaleo we had been to Spain and the excellent curate in Ashville so we were familiar with tapas. His suggestions mirrored our choices. The tomato con Pana was an appetizer, Ensenada Manzano Manchester salad of apples walnuts and Manchester cheese and chicken croquettes I was surprised we were full all excellent. Desert was pan con Chocolat and a terrific dessert sherry. Go you will not be disappointed

Booked this restaurant as it had good reviews and we weren’t disappointed. The food was plentiful and the service was great. For a family of six it cost us $250 which I thought was reasonable for a restaurant of this calibre. Couple of tips: the downstairs seating area is very!!! loud though so if you have younger children you’d be better off sitting upstairs. Don’t pay $8 for the water on the menu, they bring it to your table in a jug when you first arrive. Worth the money and the experience, would I do it again? Probably not as we have ticked it off the list now, but definitely worth a visit if you’re in Disney Springs.

Amazing eating experience. We ordered Jose’s Experience, which was 12 different tapas, so imagine the flavors. Highly recommend it, get to try a bit of everything. We have paella back at home all the time, so didn’t choose that, maybe next time. Dessert was included, flan was amazing. Ao happy that we might go again tonight.

For a Disney location the food was very good. Enjoyed the Bacalao and chicken croquettes. The pan con chocolate dessert was to die for.

The restaurant was pretty loud, and there was a bit of a backup at the host stand. Once we were seated, though, the experience was amazing. Probably the best tapas we’ve eaten outside of Spain (and we live in NYC). They were sold out of the disney 50th anniversary special dessert. We were bummed about that.

We went to Jaleo with high expectations, but unfortunately whoever served us was not prepared to explain the menu. There were 5 of us, our whole family on a late night, crazy to eat and when the dishes arrived, our disappointment was immense!! the waiter told us that the two dishes were enough for 5 of us and barely enough for 2. Again I made another order and the waiter didn't know how to explain the dishes to us!! A very big disappointment. I do not recommend.

The food was great. I specially enjoyed the Summer of Sangrias option. The place is big and it was fairly empty yet they put us four in a table meant for only two. This caused a number of inconveniences because there was no space to put the plates and we felt like we had to pile the tapas in our plates. The waiter, Edwin, was polite but did nothing when my husband complained about the size of the table. Also there was a hole in the ceiling next to us and they had bucket to catch the water from a leak I suppose. All in all I was disappointed by the whole experience.

Love this place!!!! Went for our daughter’s birthday!!! So awesome. Great food greatest. Love giving our dining money to Jose. He does so much for others!!

Great birthday dinner!

Great food and we all enjoyed the experience!
