Price Range: $$

10Best Says

In the mood for Spanish tapas? This trendy Bethesda place offers more than 50 types. Thanks to a lively, upbeat atmosphere, a young, hip crowd packs Jaleo most nights, especially when flamenco dancers perform. If the munchies hit, sample eggplant flan in red pepper sauce or savory, vinegar-cooked mussels. There's also an outstanding Iberian wine list and sidewalk dining during nice weather. Smart casual or trendy dress.
